OOTD & MOTD- Burnt Copper

In only a few of weeks I will be off on holiday for two weeks to Mexico, Cancun. It always feels nice to have some newer clothes to take with you on holiday so i have been picking up bits and pieces the last few weeks for the summer and also with my holiday in mind.
I ordered a pair of shorts from Newlook online and I tried them and loved them so I paired them with some tights for the slightly cooler weather we have been having at the moment and wore them out. They are a almost burnt copper colour and are very comfortable. 

As well as wearing new clothes I thought I would also experiment with a new makeup look and used a colour from my Mac Pro Palette that I have not used much. It also matches the colour of the shorts.

Eyes- Mac- Coppering- All over lid, blended out and taken underneath. Mac- Charcoal Brown- Outer corner, crease and taken underneath. Mac- Brun- to darken up the areas where Charcoal Brown was used. Urban Decay- Naked 1 Palette- Virgin.

Blush- Nars- Orgasm.  Bronzer/contour- Benefit- Hoola.

Lips- Rimmel- 1000 Kisses lip pencil- 011 Spice. Rimmel- Apocalips lip velvet- 206 Atomic Rose

I like the the colour but I would love to know your opinion!

Nail Art

I am not a very big nail person and I am rubbish at painting my own, but the other day I was up quite late doing coursework and I needed to take a break. My nails were really chipped and had needed painting for the last week so I did just that. I fancied something different so I searched nail art for beginners on YouTube and I found a nail tutorial that did not need nail tools and instead a makeup sponge which is something I do have.

This is the nail tutorial here. From a channel called elleandish.

I changed it up a little bit as I did not have tape for the heart. I just did the normal style over all my nails. I messed up quite a few times and I had nail polish everywhere but after a cotton bud and nail polish remover clean up I don't think that they turned out too bad. They are a little messy, but practice makes perfect right?



What do you think ?

Daytime Look- Matte Eyes

I do not own or wear a lot of matte eye shadows, so when I do my eyes like this it is a rarity. However, I think that it actually looks quite flattering on the eye as sometimes glitter, shimmer and sparkles can get a bit too much! The colours Iv used here could also be used in a night time look. They are quite dark for the day time and if built up could become very dark and would be ideal for a night time look. 

I have used one shimmery colour in this look which is the inner corner and brow bone highlight because I do not have any highlighting colours that I really like other than shimmery ones. Other than that, this eye look is all matte. 


Eyes: Mac-Quarry-All over lid and taken underneath. Mac- Charcoal Brown- Through crease and outer corner and also taken underneath. Blended out. Urban Decay- Naked 1 Palette- Virgin- Inner corner/brow bone.
Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner 24H- 08 Black Gold

Blusher- Nars- Orgasm

Lips- Vaseline

OOTD & MOTD

Occasionally, me and my friends go out for lunch and a pop round the town. Last week I was feeling braver than usual and decided to wear a playsuit that I had bought a while ago and loved, but never wore because I didn't feel that it looked right on me or very nice, but since I have lost a bit of weight lately I tried it and loved it. I wore it with tights because it was a bit cold outside and I also added a black leather jacket when I left the house.
Playsuit: Newlook
Shoes: Primark

For my makeup I used an eye shadow that is very popular from Mac but that I always struggle to pair with clothes. 

Eyes: Mac- Sumptuous Olive, Charcoal Brown. Urban decay-Virgin Naked 1 palette. 
Maybelline- Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Black Gold.
Lips- Mac- Posh Tone
