Avon Mark glow on face illuminator review

Hi everyone , welcome back ….

What I love most about this product is that I can wear it however I want …. 

The first way is wear it alone. Simply apply to your bare skin and let the product work to brighten and blur any imperfections.

The second way is to prime before applying the rest of your make-up. As well as minimising the look of pores, using this as a base will allow your look to last all day!

The third way I would use this product is to highlight over the top of make up. Apply to the high points of your face (cheekbones, nose and cupids bow) for a strobed effect.

Once blended into the skin it gives a gorgeous, healthy glow ……

Another way to use the product is to mix with your foundation to make a matte- finish foundation more dewy in finish.

I really recommended , if you have any question please comment below 😉

Thanks 😉

Update makeup collection

Hi everyone , welcome back

I’m always changing my make up around and re-organizing my collection, along with purchasing new ways to store my make up, so I thought I would do an updated make up collection post.

I have done  makeup collection before but I constantly purchase new makeup
so my makeup collection has obviously grown.
I’ve got a lot of makeup but I’m not going to apologize for it. Beauty is my passion, I obviously don’t wear everything at once.
I’m very happy with my collection. It’s big but not too big.
 I hope I inspired some of you!
If you have any questions please feel free to ask!
Thanks 😉

Victoria Secret Velvet Matte lip stain review

Hi everyone , welcome back …..

Today I will do a review of ; sexy new lip obsession: high-intensity colour with a full-coverage matte finish and lasting stain effect, with conditioning vitamin E and olive oil for softness.

The Victoria’s Secret matte-lipstick collection includes 10 Velvet Matte Cream Lip Stain shades: Wanted, Desire , Adorned , Perfection, Obsessed , Impulsive, Tempting, Scandalous, magnetic, and Drama . They’re creamy, full-coverage, and super pigmented with a stain effect that lasts long after the lipstick wears off. I wore perfection almost every day  and really liked how it felt on my lips. The formula contains vitamin E and olive oil, and it really doesn’t feel dry at all.  I have the shades Drama, Wanted and perfection and I love it ….. 

Perfectly defines! And spreads nicely when applied ……

 

 

Because of the cream-like formula, you only need to swipe on one layer to get the fully opaque shade, no touch ups necessary. Even after three hours of drinking coffee and snacking, when the initial whipped layer had faded off my lips, I was left with a gorgeous, hyper-pigmented stain that felt silky. There’s even a wash of color on my lips when I get home after work…..

It won’t cake nor crust around your lips. The innovative formula also doesn’t feel sticky……

I definitely recommend

Thanks 😉

Highlighter Tips for the Perfect Glow

Hi everyone, welcome back

If you’re a makeup enthusiast, I’m sure you’re very familiar with highlighter

Here are some highlighter tips you might find useful:

Image result for highlight face  tips for summer

Cream highlighters, for instance, are great if you have dry skin because it will not make it look flaky or emphasize the dryness while powder is perfect if you want to achieve a very subtle glow.

Image result for highlight face  tips for summer

Pick the perfect highlight colour – highlighters come in a variety of colours and each colour can give off a different effect so picking the right color is crucial to achieving the perfect glow. Champagne and bisque tone highlighters are universally flattering but peach and pink toned ones are great for adding that radiant look.

Know where to highlight – basically, you’ll want to put your highlighter on the high points on your faces including the nose bridge, the center of your forehead, your cupids bow, the highest points of your cheeks.

During the Summer you will sweat. Keep your highlighter on point with a bit of powder over it.

  • Focus on the high points of the face.
  • Sweep a little under the eyebrow and a bit on the Cupid’s bow of your lip.
  • With a small brush, run a line of highlighter down the bridge of the nose.
  • Place a dab at the top of the cheekbone making sure not to apply any to the apple.
  • Blend in with a sponge or tap in with your fingers.
  • Take a clean sweep across the face lightly to blend any lines.
  • Finish with a translucent powder just on the T-zone and on the sides of the nose.
  • Highlighter is also beautiful placed on the tops of shoulder and along the collarbone.

5 Things I can’t live without

Hi everyone , welcome back

Do you ever wonder about the things you couldn’t live without on a day to day basis? Everyone has a different list of essentials…….

My Phone 

The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is check my phone, reply to emails, scroll through Instagram and Facebook numerous times a day. I also use my phone every single day for taking photos, and chatting to friends, it’s basically my lifeline and definitely an essential for any blogger.

My Ipad 

  Easier to carry around than a laptop with all the same functions as an iPhone. When I first got mine I brushed it off because I really didn’t think I needed it but once I figured it out I was hooked! Is it sad to say that I don’t remember life before it??

My Planner (Agenda) 

I am a note-taker and constantly collecting content.  I like to do it on paper.

Coffee 

I’ve always been a caffeine addict, literally for as long as I can remember. I honestly don’t think I would survive without caffeine.

Lipsticks 

I’m addict to lipsticks, I need to have lipstick with me all the time, I have a big collection of lipsticks….

What things can’t you live without?

Thanks 😉

Portugal has a rich and interesting history in many ways. Portugal was technically considered a country in 1143 after an array of power struggles and invasions until finally joining what is now known as the European Union in 1968. This move is largely responsible for the Portugal we can visit today. Particularly interesting features of Portuguese history are preserved in unique museums

Bom Jesus do Monte Monastery, Braga, Portugal.

There is no place in the world where seafood is more adored and masterfully prepared than on the coasts of Portugal. From fresh fish to octopus, you will not only find it all, but you’ll taste the sea like never before. Portuguese cuisine is fresh, authentic, and full of flavors that have been perfected over generations.

Eye makeup tips

Hi everyone , welcome back

Image result for eye makeup tips

  • Start with your brows. Defined eyebrows frame your face and bring attention to your eyes. Fill in your brows with an eye shadow that matches the colour of your brows.

 

  • Use a primer or base to make your eyelid as smooth as possible. That way, your eye shadow will stay in place all day.

 

  • To make eyes look big and bold, the trick is to create depth with your eye shadow. First apply a lighter-colored shadow all over your eyelid. Then, take a darker shadow and apply it in the crease of your eye above your lid. This will create an element of dimension. Don’t forget to blend the lid colour with the crease colour to create a seamless look.

 

  • Blend well; you should never be able to tell where one colour begins and ends.

 

  • Choose the right eye shadow colours- Everything from vanilla to almond, to mid- tones like taupe and terracotta, to deep shades, like coffee and smokey grey. Ultimate your own colouring will determine what works best for you.

 

  • Highlight your eyes in the right place; Use highlighter on any part of the eye area that you want to bring out. Put Put a dot on the inner corner of the eye to make eyes look big and bright….

 

  • Don’t skip Eyeliner; Liner helps define shape and open the eye, but it should be done with a delicate line. Apply a gel, pencil, or liquid liner on your top lash line. If you have light eyes, go with a brown eyeliner, while brown eyes will pop with black liner.  For a smokier look, apply a brown or black eye shadow onto your lower lash line with a small eye shadow brush. Just make sure the top and bottom eyeliner meet at the outer corner of your eye.

 

  • Always include mascara; First curl your lashes. Hold the curl for a few seconds, and then let go. Then, brush two to three coats of mascara from the base to the tip of your top and bottom lashes.
