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?

Red Lip Make Up Tutorial ♡ Get The Face ♡

Hi guys  ♡

So today I thought I would do a make up tutorial on a look I've been wearing A LOT recently.

It's a look which you can wear as both a day/night look, I personally wear this for the day but it can be a bit too much if you're not used to a red lip!

Apologies for the quality of the photos but I've taken the pictures using my iPhone :( but hopefully you can still get the gist!

FACE:

MAC Prep and Prime Natural Radiance Primer

MAC Pro Longwear SPF Foundation - NC30

MAC Mineralize Blush - Warm Soul

Sleek Face Contour Kit - Light 884

Blink Eyebrow Pencil - Cardamom Pod

Lancome Virtuose Mascara - 01 Noir Sensuel

SKIN:

After washing my face I start off by applying my MAC Prep and Prime Primer. I massage it all over my face and I wait for it to dry before applying my foundation. Using my MAC 190 Foundation Brush I then apply my foundation in circular motions to make my foundation look airbrushed I then dab all over my face using my Beauty Blender just to even out the foundation and to get rid of any lines. Make sure you ALWAYS blend down to your neck to avoid any foundation lines!! I tend to use my Beauty Blender to blend down to my neck.

 I then apply my concealer using the same 190 Foundation Brush I press the concealer under my eyes  in a triangular shape going along my nose - just to lighten the area under my eyes. Then use the Beauty Blender just to set the concealer.

EYES:

I always do my eyebrows as soon as I am finished with my foundation! 

So using the brush end of the eyebrow pencil first brush any excess foundation out of your eyebrows. Then with the pencil side of the eyebrow pencil using light, short, strokes brush the pencil through your eyebrows in the same direction as the hair growth. For areas that are sparse use slightly thicker strokes. 

For a natural golden/brown smokey eye I used Devotion from the MUA Palette and swept it all over my eyelid with the H&M eyeshadow brush. Make sure you don't go over your eye crease yet!

Then using Dreamy from the MUA palette lightly blend into your crease whilst blending out towards the outer corner of your eyes using the same H&M eyeshadow brush. 

Using Nylon lightly dust in the tear duct whilst blending up towards inner corner of the eye using Lancome Eyeshadow Brush. Using a blending brush take the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish and blend all over the crease and gently working towards the eyebrow. Whatever product you have left on your brush from Nylon gently sweep under your eyebrow to give a light shimmer and highlight.

To line your eyes use the L'oreal Super Liner and starting from the inner corner work your way to the outer corner but gradually making the line thicker as you work your way out and finish off with a slight winged look. Only line the top eyelids - No products are used on the bottom eyelids. 

Finally curl your eyelashes using the Shu Uemura curlers and hold down for 10 seconds whilst clamping lightly. Then apply three coats of the Lancome Mascara on your top set of eyelashes.

CHEEKS:

Using the MAC Warm Soul Blush sweep over the apples of your cheeks lightly blending up towards your cheekbones. 

Then take the Sleek Contour Kit and using the darker shade contour the hollows of your cheeks using MAC Contour Brush. With the left over product lightly sweep over the apples of your cheeks just to blend it all together. Then using the highlight from the Sleek Contour Kit lightly dust over your cheekbones and down the bridge of your nose using MAC 130 Brush.

LIPS:

Using the MUA Lipstick apply it all over your lips. Then use the MAC 316 Lip Brush just to line your lips using the same lipstick but making sure you do not go over your natural lip line.

There you have it, the complete look for my Red Lip Day Time Look!

I hope you like it and let me know if you guys try it out!

Eyeshadow Palette ♡ - Urban decay Naked 2 verses MUA Undress Me Too

I thought I would do my first ever post on two products that I swear by and that I use EVERY day.

They are of course eyeshadow palettes! I tend to always wear a brown smokey eye for my every day make up look and these two palettes are perfect with both having a gorgeous selection of neutrals and brown colours.

As you can see from the above pictures the MUA one has had A LOT of use!

The above picture is the MUA undress me too palette. The colours from left to right: Naked, Devotion, Shy, Fiery, Lavish, Dreamy, Tranquil, Exposed, Reveal, Wink, Obsessed, Corrupt.

Above is the Naked 2 palette. Colours from left to right: Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, Blackout.

I honestly love both of these palettes! However if I had to choose one over the other I would have to pick the MUA undress me too palette. The main reason being is that I actually prefer the colours in the MUA palette compared to the Naked 2 one. I feel that the colours are more pigmented and therefore apply more easily. 

Another big reason has to be the price difference. 

MUA Undress me too palette - £4.00   buy here

Urban Decay Naked 2 palette - £36.00 buy here

Yes you have read that correctly, £4.00 I know! Even if you're not strapped for cash I suggest going to buy the MUA palette (I've made several of my friends purchase it just because its so affordable) because it really is such an amazing little palette and even if you only use one of the colours (which I highly doubt) its still so worth it!

I will say though that the only downfall with the MUA palette is the black shadow in 'corrupt' you really have to build up the colour if you are wanting a dark black look. Whereas the black shadow 'Blackout' in the Naked 2 palette is as black as it comes - really amazing matte black eyeshadow, perfect for a smokey eye look!

I hope this post has been helpful if you were debating whether to buy a new eyeshadow palette!

Let me know which palette you guys prefer in the comments below.
