step into spring! - soft cut-crease

So it's coming up to spring and the new trend going around is the blue fanned out smokey eye. Me and 'sea blue' just do not work well so I opted for a sultry pink. This was probably my 2nd time at a cut crease so its not the best but I don't think its half bad! Enjoy X
As usual, go in with your transition colour. For this look I'd use a very warm cream colour with not too much brown in it as it is a pink look!

Now add the pink! Use any shade of pink you desire, does not have to be super neat just make sure its blended with a big fluffy brush!
Time to clean up that line, grab some concealer and a extremely thin flat brush and carve a line out right on the crease! look straight forward into a mirror and you should see the crease line! Wing it out a bit at the corner of your eyes.
I set the concealer with a white shadow, ignore the fallout I can easily clean that up later.
Liner, of course.
Lashes and a tad bit of pink on the lower lash line to smoke it out!
 Finito!

April's favourites

So it's that time of the month again when I rave about products I've been obsessed with. April's been a very 'care' kind of month, in the sense I've been obsessed with skincare and haircare so just mind that! That's all I have to say, enjoy the read and hope I persuade you to buy some goodies! X
Kiehl's Avacado Eye Cream - Thought I'd start off with the star of the month, an eye cream. But this isn't just any old eye cream this has been a game changer for my skincare routine. I suffer with the extremely dry under-eyes and noticeable fine lines and this literally makes that all disappear within a good few uses. Super thick, super creamy and just sits on the skin like a DREAM. Buy it. Now. ;)
NYX Taupe Blush - Let's not even talk about how smashed this product is in the picture, I will get to the 'DIY fix broken eye-shadows' at some stage okay! That is besides the point, this is THE contour shade for when I am pale/fair. It blends like a dream, is just the right shade to shadow the cheekbones. It has been my go-to when I'm not tan, shoutout to NikkieTutorials for the recommendation! Cheap, cheerful & chirpy X
 Bleach London Silver Shampoo - I mentioned this in my last blog post in my recent haul of goodies & I've had a good 2 weeks to try this out & I really like it! Don't be scared by the brands name, its not bleach! It all in all cancelled out any brassy tones in my hair that I had, but do beware if you leave it on too long you'l end up with lilac hair! Really good for warm blondes trying to go cool & super cheap!!
 Loreal True Match - I honestly forgot how bloody much I love this foundation. Was stalking Lauren Curtis' Youtube and in 8/10 of her Beauty video's she used True Match, so I thought I'd bring it out the back of my drawer. And good lord am I glad I did. It's such a thin consistency but with a medium/buildable coverage, great for dry skin as it can be dewy! Might be rising up there with my holy grail Loreal Infallible, maybe ;).
Mitchum Roll-on Deo - This may be a weird one, but deodorant is KEY. I didn't realise it until recent months that not all deodorant is the same, and I think I've found my favourite on! This smells good and lingers, it decreases my chance of 'sweat patches' at the gym, gross but true! The best part about it is the fact it's cheap & does the trick. Would pick this over any other roll-on any day!
Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner - This is another game changer for my skin. As you can tell. I've been on top of my skin lately, literally on top of all the pesky bumps and god damn lumps. I have super bad texture and this month I've been using it religiously and it's got rid of 90% of my texture! This has such a good amount of Glycolic Acid yet does not dry the skin out or smell like overly scented perfume! Holy grail in a bottle. BUY.
Drake's Album 'Views' - Couldn't do an April favourites without an input of one of the most popular and recently released albums?! This album is my morning jam, such a versatile album but also just motivates me to do things in the day!
