Coastal Scents 'Revealed 2' EyeShadow Palette.

Last week Coastal Scents released their 'Revealed 2' eyeshadow palette, the follow up to the original,  hugely popular 'Revealed' palette. It is a 20 colour palette with a mixture of mattes and shimmers with a predominantly pink undertone running throughout, so lovers of the Urban Decay 'Naked 3' palette will be impressed. I have been told that the original 'Revealed' is a mix of both the first and second Naked palettes.

Cute Cartoon Girl Makeup Tutorial :)

Left; Actual Makeup
Right; Photoshopped Eyes (badly!)

Hey Lovelies :)

Today's tutorial is a cute and kooky one in which I (attempted) to turn myself into a cartoon character!

This will definitely appeal more to my younger viewers and anyone looking for a cute and fun look to wear to a fancy dress party.

I had a load of requests to do a look like this after my cartoon lips tutorial and was in the mood to do something totally different!

Favourite DrugStore Foundations (Updated 2014)

Hey Guys!!

Please excuse the few times my camera unfocuses, I forgot to take off auto focus-again and it went a little hinky a few times throughout the video but most of it is perfect! Also, for those of you watching from the States where Max Factor is unavailable, CoverGirl is their sister brand and will often have the same products under a different name!

Arabic Inspired Makeup Look

Heyhey :)

It's Monday which means this weeks first video!... Not sure if ye have noticed or not but I have been keeping to a new schedule for the past few weeks of uploading on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 6pm (GMT). This has made life a lot easier in terms of managing Youtube and internet work, as well as freeing up a little free time for myself. But just because I am uploading 3 times a week on the channel doesn't mean that's all ye will see here on the blog, I will still be posting blogposts outside of (and as well as) that schedule. Anyhu, back to this tutorial.

Iconic 1970's Makeup Look; Debbie Harry Inspired Tutorial! ('Beauty Through the Ages' // Youtube Collaboration)

Hey Everyone!!!! 

Today's video and post are part of a huge Youtube collaboration called 'Beauty through the Ages' where myself and seven other Youtuber's were each allocated a decade (in this announcement video) spanning from the 1920's up to the 90's, and of course we had to come up with a look inspired by the decade.

Mini Beauty Haul, New Glasses, Video Schedule & Requests!?

Hey Guys :)

So the main gist of this video (apart from the Haul in the first half) is that I will be continuing on with the uploading schedule that I have been testing out for the past few weeks now which means new videos every Monday, Wednesday and Friday! This is already making life so much easier on myself and I feel like my time is managed so much better now too :) Also I'd love to hear about what kind of videos you all want to see from me. Leave your requests either below the video on youtube or down below here in the comments!

High Sun Protection for Perfect Skin by Vichy & La Roche-Posay.

As I've said before, the first step to perfect skin is protection. Sun-damage is the highest contributing factor to premature aging even before chemical damage from smoking & pollution and poor diet. 

I've been sent some great new products that not only offer extremely high sun protection but also help to perfect the skintone.

Vichy DermaBlend; New Products, Packaging & Formulations!

Vichy have upgraded their DermaBlend Range due to "the success of the existing range" and have added new products to the line-up as well as reformulating a couple of the existing ones and repackaging the whole shebang! 

Most of the changes are good but not all of them...

Beauty Sins and Tips & Tricks.

I uploaded 2 videos last week that I somehow managed to forget to add to the blog, so here they are!!

Firstly was a super quick 2 minute video sharing one of my makeup tips with ye all :)

And in the second video I shared some of the Beauty sins that people commit  that may be damaging their skin and looks, followed up with advise on how to avoid making them!!!

Hope they help!!

Cheers :)

NYX Macaron LipSticks; Serious case of WANT!!!

A picture of these guys from NYX appeared on my Instagram feed a couple of weeks ago and my heart skipped a beat!

I only recently uploaded my video on how to make lipstick from crayons  as a method of creating lipsticks in colours that either don't exist or are very hard to find, and in the video I said how I wasn't delighted with them due to the risk factor of applying crayons to the skin (and mouth) and would love to find all the colours in real lipsticks. Then lo-and-behold, NYX read my mind and the very next week come out with these babies!!! What good timing!
