My Favorite Fall Trend

Recently in a lot of magazines, videos and on the cat walk I've noticed that there is a growing trend for the fall of heavy under eye make up. I really love this look, its so pretty and makes it possible to really show off the colour on the upper lid.

Its such an easy look which is possible with all colours of eye liner to match and extenuate any eye colour. So I gave it a shot.

To go along with the fall trend I chose to do a Gold eye look with a heavy black line under the bottom lash line. After a few experimental looks I found that this type of look is a lot easier with Gel liner instead of Pencil or Liquid. As pencil is, for me, quite harsh and insensitive for my lower lash line and liquid was too difficult to control between the skin and the bottom lashes on the lower lash line. Gel liner is also easier to blend than pencil or liquid so is easier to achieve a more smokey look.

Lining the waterline with a very black pencil will also bring the look together and give extra depth on the lower lash line.

I love this look. I love changing my make up look and stepping outside of the normal comfort zones that all my other friends seem to love to stay in. I am most defiantly going to be wearing this look out more regularly, I would defiantly recommend it!

Review: Collection Work the Colour Eyeshadow Pencils

As a person who suffers from annoying oily eyelids when I found the Maybelline Colour Tattoo cream eyeshadows, I have been crazy in love with them. The only disappointment I got from the Colour Tattoos were the colour range, I love the 'On and On Bronze' and the 'Taupe' colours but they are quiet dark. When I want to do a lighter look for on the eyes, its difficult to find a base which i know will last all day. 

Vanilla Sky at the Back, Vintage Blush at the Front

So I have been on the hunt. I know some brands such as Clinque have their eye shadow chubby sticks which have been raved about on the web, but the drugstore princess i am, I've been keen to find an alternative. That, my friends, is when I came across the Collection Work the Colour Eyeshadow Pencils.

Once again, i have fallen head over heels with a product. These pencils are sooo good i can not emphasize enough and at the price of £3 each, its hard to go wrong.

The texture of the pencils themselves are so creamy and the colour pay off is beautiful. The texture also makes them incredible easy to work with and very blendable.

The packaging claims the pencils to be long lasting and waterproof. Now I have tried these out a couple of times and they do last a good length of time considering the price. Unfortunately however, i have yet to test out the water endurance of these products, so for the claim of being waterproof, i am still not sure on.

Nevertheless, I have been successful in my mission to find a cheaper alternative to some of the higher end eye shadow pencils and I'm extremely proud of my purchase, if i do say so myself.

Fall/Autumn Tag 2013

Fall is one of my favourite months as it provides the comfortable transition from a rare hot summer here in England, to the freezing winter. It also gives the perfect excuse to sit in a duvet and watch movies all day without feeling like I've ruined a lovely day!

1. Favorite Fall lip product and Favorite Fall nail product? Autumn, in my opinion is the best season for make up because i love all the Purple tones, therefore my favourite lip product is 160 by Barry M which is a deep cherry colour! Whereas when it comes to nails i love Green in the Autumn so my current favourite colour is One Directions "Everything Emerald" (Liam's colour).

2. Favorite Fall Activity? 

Snuggling indoors watching movies

MOCHA COOKIE CRUMBLE! AJDFAHIDSJVSI! If you haven't tasted this, you haven't lived.

4. Favorite Fall Scent? 

I've just become a owner of the new one direction perfume "Our Moment" and i flipping love it, its fruity yet floral at the same time as being really girly. If you see it in a drugstore, have a smell and you'll know what i mean.
5. Favorite Fall Scarf or accessory? 
I'm going to count Jewellery in the same category as accessories in this question, so my favourite accessory is my Pandora bracelet - which to be honest is my all year round accessory but i just love it.
