Goodbye From Em

Hey guys just a quick post to update you all. Recently my health has been deteriorating and the blog and instagram have becoming more of a stress and chore than a fun hobbie so I have decided to leave. I want to thank you all for reading my posts and I also want to thank Ella for being the lovliest co-owner <3 I'm not sure what Ella is doing with the blog and instagram but I'm sure she will keep you updated - em <3

Naked 3 Dupe - W7 in the Nude Swatches & Review

Hi everyone hope everyone had a good day, since I didn't post on monday (because of health) I decided to post today since ella is busy with exams! I am going to be reviewing a new purchase of mine, the W7 in the nude eyeshadow palette! 

This is the packaging of this palette, its not that similar to the naked 3 however it is really nice and pratical. The only thing is that it doesn't have a mirror which is unfortunate for travelling but apart from that I love the packaging!

these are all of the shades which are more or less identical to the naked 3. There are a range of mattes and shimmers from crease colours to lid colours and even the dark brown shade would suit some peoples eyebrows. These colours suit most eye colours but are extra effective on blue eyes.

Another plus is they have shade names on the back so it's easy to use in tutorials. As you can see the ingredients aren't that good but that's what you are expecting in an inexpensive palette.

Considering the price these shadows are very pigmented and blend really nicely. The glitter shadows aren't as pigmented, especially the lighter shades which you can't really pack on the lid even if the brush is damp. Other than that the pigmentation is great and they look amazing on the eyes

Overall would definitley recommend this palette to everyone and is a brilliant affordable opition! The colours are pretty much identical to the Naked 3 palette and if you use a good primer you will get an amazing result.

Hope you enjoyed this post, let me know in the comments if you would like more posts like this and I will be sure to do then in the future - em <3

Drugstore Makeup Starter Kit

Hi everyone, today I'm going to be suggesting a few makeup products if you are just starting out with makeup but i would recommend them to anyone! <3

the first thing i would recommend for begginers is a bb cream. this just evens out your skin tone and looks really natural. this one is by maybelline however i would check the label to get one that matches your skin type ;)

powder was the first skin makeup item i wore and i still won't leave the house without it on. this just matifys your face and if you get an actual shade it gives a little bit coverage. i would recommend this one by rimmel, it's really cheap but i dont think i will ever use another one! the only thing is as it can cake, so definitley tap off the excess product before you apply. 

if you have a few spots, a bit of redness or dark circles i would recommend a concealer. this is also by rimmel and gives a medium coverage and doesn't cake or crease. i would always set this with a bit of powder as it gives 

hope this helped some of you! hope everyone has a good weekend - em <3

April Favourites

Hi guys, can't believe it's May already! Today I'm going to be talking you through some of the things i have been loving during the month of May <3

Beauty
♡ Rimmel Wake me up foundation in the shade '010 light porcelain' 

This foundation is absolutely amazing, it gives a medium but buildable coverage but creates this gorgeous glowing look. It's also very affordable which is always a plus and it is meant to have an anti fatigue effect which is another plus for me as I have chronic fatigue!  

♡ Makeup Revolution iconic pro lipstick in 'you're a star'

I never really reached for this until the end of last month and since then I have worn it pretty much every day! It's an amazing dark nude colour with a pinky undertone to it. It isn't particularly glossy nor matte and is very pigmented. I think it would also suit more or less very skin tone, oh and did I mention that it's only £2.49

♡ W7 in the nude palette

I just recently picked this up in B&M after seeing this in a few people's makeup collection's and i do not regret it! This is meant to be a dupe for the Naked 3 and has pretty much identical colours. I have really been enjoying more pinky toned colours as it's spring (even thought it's freezing and it was snowing the other day lol) I was thinking about doing a proper review and swatches in a seperate blog post so let me know if you want to see that ;)

♡ Real Techniques base shadow brush
I have had this brush for ages now but just used it to wack on a skin coloured shadow over the lid, but now i use it to put colour in the crease as well as over the lid and have been loving it. It just gives a much more blended and soft look instead of a dense flat topped brush that i was using previously.

Music
♡ The Vamps

I have been listening to The Vamps for a couple years now and now that they have realised their new album i love them even more! I was also lucky enough to see them in concert again this month which was absolutley amazing x

♡ Work from home by Fifth Harmony 

This is such a catchy song and just puts me in such a good mood

♡ Cheap thrills by Sia

This is probably my favourite Sia song so far and i just love it!

♡ Dangerous woman by Ariana Grande

I have never been that big of a fan of Ariana but I think I'm starting to become an Arianator as I have been listening to this song loads

♡ Hands to Myself by Selena Gomez

I have heard this in so many youtube videos but since i have actually heard the whole song it has definitely grown on me!
