Green Eyes and Dark Lips

So this is the third look I've done with dark lips... so you might be able to tell that I've been loving the vampy look at the moment. 

On my lips is the NYX Matte Lip Creme in Transylvania (my favourite), I used the Morphe 35U Palette on my eyes and my highlight is Benefit High Beam. 

NYX Single Eyeshadows

I have 6 of the NYX Single Eyeshadows, and for some reason they are all very similar... 

I'm not entirely sure why I bought so many similar shades, but hey ho!

Whilst they're not as buttery and creamy as other drugstore eyeshadows, the pigmentation is great and the colours are very vibrant. which I love. 

They're available on the Boots website in the UK, which is great because I got a couple of these with the points I have on my Boots card!

Burgundy

Today's post is another make up look which is centred around the MAC Burgundy X9 Palette.

As you can tell I am definitely not a MUA and I don't pretend to be one either, I just love creating different looks and sharing them!

Make Up Organisation and Storage

As requested, today's post is all about how I organise my make up and beauty products, and what storage I use.

I keep all of my lipliners in this mini plant pot from IKEA. I think it was around £2-3 which is very cheap, and although pretty much everyone has these, I still think they look really pretty and feminine! 

I got this acrylic storage from Homesense, and I just keep my most used single eyeshadows, eyeliners and face products in here. 

Please excuse my dirty brushes, they will get cleaned eventually! Again these are both from IKEA. 

I store all of my MAC Lipsticks in this lipstick holder from ebay, and I think it was around £3. 

I keep most of my high end products in these draws from ebay, as I like to keep brands and similar products in the same place. 

I have three draws in my desk where I keep most of my make up. The other two aren't very interesting so I thought I'd just show my bottom draw. The storage is from IKEA and fits in my draw perfectly. I keep my lipsticks, drugstore blushers, foundations and concealers in this draw. 

I like to keep my beauty products in baskets so they're all together and not all over the place. I have rather a lot as you'll see below...

I keep my favourite palettes displayed in this nail polish holder from ebay. I find that it displays them perfectly as I didn't like having them all hidden away. 

I keep all my nail polishes in this basket from Tesco, and they all fit perfectly in there! 

I keep all my drugstore palettes and other make up that I don't use as much in these draws from NEXT. 

I keep the rest of my lip products in this Ted Baker chest. And yes there is one missing which is really annoying but oh well. 

I keep the rest of my beauty products in baskets in my wardrobe. I keep my everyday products at the front so I can get to them easily. 

The basket above is from Primark and the pink ones are from my local convenience shop.

Let me know if you'd like to see an updated make up collection or bedroom tour post/video!

Leather and Tartan

As you can probably tell, this post is completely different to anything I've ever done before. I've always loved this edgy/alternative style, and although I've changed a lot as a person since my 14 year old rebellious stage, that person will always be a part of me. 

So yeah, I don't know how long this phase will last, I tend to go through them quite a lot. But for now here's something different. 

Faux Leather Jacket - Primark

Shirt - boohoo

Jeans - Topshop

Shoes - Vans 

I also filmed a GRWM video of my make up :) 

Something Different

So today's post is something slightly different... 

I guess this look could be described as a vampy silvery smokey-ish winged eyeliner look (in other words, I have no idea). 

Anyway, I usually just post product reviews, swatches, hauls etc, but I miss being creative so I'm thinking of mixing it up a bit. Let me know what you think. 

This look is definitely not perfect but it was fun to do so I hope you like it :)

Soap and Glory Make Up Favourites

I absolutely love Soap and Glory, and feel that they have a lot of products that could be mistaken for higher end make up. 

Below are my favourite products that I've tried :) 

The Perfect Ten Eyeshadow Palette

Although this palette is unfortunately limited edition, I just had to include it because it has so many pretty shades. In a way it kind of reminds me of the Naked 3 palette. I love all the pink tones!

Brow Archery and Supercat Eyeliner

Smoulder Kohl Eyeliner

Love At First Blush

Gloss Stick

Naked Palette Collection & Swatches

I know most beauty bloggers own all of the Naked palettes or at least one or two of them, but if you're new to make up you might not know which one to get. 

Now that I have all of them, I thought I would swatch them together so anyone interested can compare them! 

Morphe 35W Palette Swatches

I am a massive fan of Morphe eyeshadow palettes, so I decided to pick up another one. 

The 35W palette is mostly made up of neutral warm tones and has an amazing range of light and dark shades. I also love the amount of 'crease' colours, and even though they don't swatch well (as you can see below), they are perfect for using as a transition and crease shade. 

The darker shades did have quite a bit of fall out, so you would have to be careful with that. Although I did find that the darker shimmery shades had the best pigmentation and swatched really well. 

For the price, I don't really think you can go wrong with Morphe eyeshadows, and this palette is no exception!
