PRODUCT OF THE WEEK - DR LIPP Original Nipple Balm for Lips ♡

Hello Beauty addicts ♡ 

Todays product of the week is the Dr Lipp Original Nipple Balm for Lips. 

It is basically a better version of Vaseline which means it is a beauty staple for all you beauty lovers out there!

This balm can be used on literally every part of your body but I have only ever used it for my lips and it works AMAZINGLY on my lips so I can imagine it will work just as well on any part of your body! It works great as a nourishing lip balm which is what I mainly use this for but its also just as great over a lipstick to add a gloss effect or even over eyelids for a shimmery look.

I tend to put it on before I go to sleep so my lips are nice and moisturised ready for the morning or I will apply it in the morning after I have moisturised so my lips are nice and soft before I apply any lipstick.

What I love even more about this product is that it is 100% natural and doesn't contain any parabens, alcohol, colouring agents or perfume so it is perfect if you have sensitive skin or if you just like to keep it au naturale!

It is also such a perfect size that you can carry it around with you in your handbag or just leave it in your make up bag as it doesn't take up any room - and with its easy screw cap you can just squeeze a tiny amount out and apply it to your lips etc and then you're good to go!

I really love how when you apply it it doesn't leave a sticky residue but it just leaves your lips feeling super moisturised and within minutes it dries leaving them even softer. The consistency of the balm is a slightly thicker version of Vaseline but it is kind of stickier than Vaseline but this stickiness goes instantly!

This balm is a definite must have in my opinion as it is just so versatile and you will always have a need for it - whether you need an intense moisturiser or if you just need to make you're make up look more shimmery this is just what you need!

Have any of you guys tried the DR LIPP Original Nipple Balm for Lips? Do you guys love it?

Hello beauty lovers  ♡

So today I am going to be telling you how I got this seriously bright pink lip and grey/brown smokey eye look. This look is definitely a night time look as I think it's a tad too heavy for the day but you could always mix the lip with a more natural eye for a daytime look.

2. Prep your skin using a primer - very important for a long lasting flawless finish

3. Apply your foundation using Real Techniques Stippling Brush

4. Contour around hairline, down the bridge of your nose, along your jawline and beneath your cheekbones

5. Highlight above your cheekbones, under eyes, above upper and lower lip, along and in-between the contour on your nose and in-between brows

6. Blend all contour together using the Beauty Blender

7. Brush out brows using a brow brush then apply pencil or gel to brows. Brush out again for a natural look

8. Apply Busted all over lid, then using Snakebite blend into crease working the way to the outer corners

9. Apply HalfBaked in the inner corner and tear duct 

10. Blend all together focusing on the crease using the Real Techniques Shading Brush

11. Using Busted line underneath lower lashes 

12. Apply liquid eyeliner along the upper lash line gently winging outwards at the outer corner

Autumn/Fall Make Up Tutorial ♡

Hello beauty lovers  ♡ 

I hope you're all enjoying the start of Autumn!

So I finally have Instagram and I honestly don't know how I have gone all this time without it?! There are sooooo many amazingly talented MUA's that I have discovered since joining the Instagram world and I love it!

One of the talented MUA's I discovered was the self taught +MakeupByAzzah who inspired me to create this Autumn/Fall make up look.

 

So lets begin....

Skin/Face

To start off you need to prep your skin with a moisturiser, once it has dried apply your primer to allow your make up to last longer and to make it look more flawless - I always prime my skin! I then applied my foundation using the Real Techniques stippling brush to get rid of any lines I then used my Beauty Blender to blend away any harsh foundation lines. I did a light contour using the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Stick applying it to the hollows of my cheeks, along the sides of my nose and along my hairline. Then using Mac Pro Longwear Concealer  I highlighted under my eyes, between my eyebrows and lower forehead, down my nose and under my chin. Using the Real Techniques stippling brush again blend all the contour and highlight together. Then go over with a Beauty Blender  to thoroughly blend all the product together. I then applied blusher on the apples of my cheeks using the Real Techniques Blush Brush and finally to finish off my skin I applied a highlighter on my cheekbones and on the top of my cupids bow using Mac Duo Fibre 187 Brush 

Eyes 

I mainly used the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette for this look so start off by applying a natural base colour (I used Tease) all over your eyelid using the fluffy side of the brush that comes with the palette. Then apply a darker colour over the lower eyelid (I used Roach not in the palette) using an eyeshadow flat brush and gradually build the colour up until you get your desired colour. Using Snakebite blend into your crease gradually working it out to the outer corner of the eye. Using half-baked line the upper lash line and lower lash line and the tear duct for a pop of colour and to open up the eyes. To highlight underneath the eyebrows use Bootycall. Then line your upper lash line with a liquid liner. Curl your eyelashes and apply loads of mascara! If you like you can add eyeliner to your waterline however I left mine natural and just applied mascara on my lower lashes. 

Lips

I applied a lip liner all over my lips as a lipstick.

Make Up Review - Lancome Virtuose Mascara ♡

Hello beauty lovers ♡

Today I am reviewing another one of my favourite products that I can't live without - it is the Lancome Virtuose Mascara. 

Left eye without mascara Right eye with Lancome Virtuose Mascara

I loveeee mascara I think mascara is definitely a make up item that you can't leave the house without! Mascara makes such a huge difference to everyone - whether you're wearing a full face of make up - a mascara will complete the look or whether you're wearing no make up - a mascara will just widen your eyes making you look so much more fresh faced!

So no matter what a mascara is a definite MUST.

Without Mascara

With Lancome Virtuose Mascara

With mascara and curled eyelashes with eyelash curler

I personally don't wear false eyelashes as I really don't like the way they look on me however I adore how they look on pretty much everyone else?! So its always been really important that I have a mascara that makes my eyelashes look really full and long. 

I have spent many years looking for that one mascara trying and testing so many from drugstore ones to the high end ones and after vigorous searching I finally found the one around two years ago and I have never looked back since!!

The mascara that I found was the Lancome L'extreme mascara - WOW it honestly is the best mascara I have ever bought! Whenever I wear it I will always get complimented and people often mistake my eyelashes as being false when I wear it! So after this one I was hooked and as I loved it so much I started trying out other Lancome mascaras, however nothing really came close until I found this little gem! Typically my normal mascara was sold out and as I was in desperate need I just picked up the Virtuose one as I liked the look of the curved brush - what a great choice that was!!

This mascara is AMAZEEEEE honestly I love it and I am now torn between L'extreme and Virtuose as they are both so good!!

First of all the curved brush is just perfect - it really lifts your eyelashes giving you that extra volume and length as well as giving you a natural curl without the need of an eyelash curler!

I love the formula as its super dark and doesn't clump or flake at all so you only need a couple of coats!!

This mascara in my opinion just ticks all the boxes and I would really recommend this mascara as it is just too good not to have.....

Have any of you guys tried this mascara? What is your fav go to mascara?
