Eye Edit| Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Paint in Golden Bronze

Rimmel Scandaleyes in Golden Bronze


On the Skin


This is the first of the Rimmel Scandaleyes colours that I have tried, but I have been intrigued by the claims of extreme longevity and high impact shades. I loved the look of this Golden Bronze shadow paint, as I have Green/Blue eyes, and anything with a hint of rust does wonders to my eye look.

Naked 3

Naked3


It seems like yesterday I was drooling all over Urban Decay's Vice2 Palette, (which FYI is am-az-ing…), so come Christmas time this year, I pre-ordered this bad boy and treated myself to an early Crimbo treat. I have used it many (many, many), times since I got it, and I feel fully confident in giving it just the kind of review it deserves.



Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit, Buzz, Trick, Nooner, Liar, Factory, Mugshot, Darkside and Blackheart (L to R)


The theme of this palette, whilst still flying the neutrals flag, is more of a rose-gold look. They are just as perfectly stunning quality as all Urban Decay shadows , and I really can't even pick some favourites, because I may as well list the whole lot.

I have green eyes, so the pink undertones really make them pop, but the gold in this palette will put a sparkle on blue eyes, and brown can layer on the colours however they fancy. (Really anything goes with brown eyes, I definitely think they can carry off the most versatile looks.)

Below are the shadows, on skin with a primer. You can see how bloody beautiful each and every shade is…!



L-R: Strange, Dust, Burnout, Limit, Buzz and Trick





L-R: Blackheart, Darkside, Mugshot, Factory, Liar and Nooner


This is such an exquisite piece of make-up genius, that from my tireless digging around, it appears it is currently sold out, but it should hopefully be back soon, and when it is…snap it up. I promise you won't regret it. I will be using this in some tutorial looks soon, so keep a look out on my blog and video channel!

In the mean-time check out my youtube channel HERE, for more more more….




Lots of Love,

Urban Decay Vice 2

The Box

The Beautiful Palette

The 20 Colours and Huuge Mirror

As an avid Urban Decay Shadow fan, I was super excited by the release of their Vice 2 palette. Having missed out on the first Vice, I was doubly excited to get my hands on this limited edition box of 20 new colours. I am so in love, each and every colour is just gorgeous. I almost want to buy another before they all go..




With Flash





Without Flash



Shellshock,  X-Rated, Coax, Strike, Stash, Madness, Prank, Poison, Lovesick and Smokeout


Damaged, Vodoo, Betrayal, Derailed, Radar, Ambush, Rewind, Toxic, Dope and Habit


All colours are over the Urban Decay regular primer, and as you can see, are just fabulous. There isn't a single shade I won't use, and I'm already excited to plan some looks using them. Some of my standout faves are Prank, Radar, Damaged... God actually pretty much all of them, it's crazy!


I highly recommended you buying this quick if you're looking to invest, as it will sell out. It's available from all Urban Decay counters, I got mine from House of Fraser online, here for £42.



SO Pretty



Enjoy!

Lots of Love,

Too Faced - The Return of Sexy

Too Faced- The Return of Sexy Eye Palette 

The Treasures Within


I bought this beautiful eye palette a few weeks ago, when I spotted it in Boots. At around £40, it's not cheap, but I couldn't resist the aptly named Sexy array of shimmers inside. As well as three blocks of complimentary colours (sort of like you're getting three palettes in one anyway...), it comprises of the lovely waterproof kohl liner in black (ah-mazing), and three little 'how to' cards, for each eye look. Day and Night.

As you can probably tell from the pictures, I couldn't resist trying it before I took pictures. I know, I know... but it's soo pretty. Although, I can probably give a review with more authority now that I have actually used it a few times... so it's probably a good thing *ahem*.

It's seriously wonderful. Seriously. Each 'theme' of colours is perfect to create wonderful eye looks, and the cards (I must admit I wasn't going to use them at first...), are great too! If you simply follow the suggested steps and colours for either a day or evening look, you will get a flawless, professional look every time. And it genuinely works.

I truly love this palette, and alongside all my Urban Decay Naked favourites, this is fast becoming a firm fixture in the world of my go-to makeup. Too Faced, I salute you.

If you want to see further swatches of the colours, of a couple of examples on the looks actually on the eye, let me know and I'll happily post some examples or even a video on my YouTube Channel. Just pop a comment below!


Lots of Love,
