Vice Palette and Babyliss Curls

Good Afternoon!

Today, I decided to sport a quite pink-based makeup look and loose beachy waves. Scroll down a little bit further to find out how I did it.

For my birthday, in November, I received the Urban Decay Vice 3 palette and I couldn't love it any more than I do!

On my eyes, I used the Urban Decay Primer Potion in 'original' and then used the shade "Truth" as my base. I then simply used my Sephora Airbrush Shadow brush from my set. I then used the same brush and applied the shade "Alien" and "Alchemy" on the outer corners of my eyes. And, of course, I blended with a MAC 217 blending brush. I then added the Soap and Glory Supercat Eyeliner to wing out my eyes followed by my Tarte mascara - Lights, Camera, Lashes.

For my lips, I used a MAC lip pencil in the shade 'Spice' with Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in the shade 101.

Next, the hair. For Christmas I got the Babyliss Thermo Ceramic Rollers. I am still practising, but today I liked the look I got with them. I have read other blog posts on them and some people get some amazing looks.

TOP TIPS:

• The rollers will work so much better if you use them on slightly damp hair that has been moussed! And don't let out the rollers until the hair is 100% dry. This way, your curls will be a lot more durable.
• Leave the rollers in for quite a while. The longer they are in, the better the curls.

Thank you for reading and please feel free to leave any questions and I will answer!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Lots of love,

My Top 3 Daily Make-Up Essentials!

1. Bourjois Bio Detox Organic Foundation

For me, this is a must! I have quite oily skin and this thick foundation has excellent matte coverage. It can be found at Asos and Lloyds Pharamacy for £10. I think this is reasonable as you get a decent amount in this classy glass bottle and it seems to last forever! I would definitely reccomend you try this, or for more combination/normal skin types maybe try the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation. 

 

2. Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Colour (Soft Coral) 

Bobbi Brown lipsticks are to die for! The soft texture and good quality of the lipstick is the best I can find and the 'soft coral' colour, which is my favourite, really adds some life to my rather pale complexion without looking too over the top. However, this is around £18 from shops like Selfridges. This might seem a bit steep but it is one of them lipsticks that's worth the investment! 

3. Rimmel Silky Loose Powder (Translucent) 

As I said, I have quite oily skin and using this throughout the day helps reduce shine A LOT! This is my savior and I only just picked it up recently and wish I had done sooner! It is only £7.19 from Superdrug at the moment and a must have item for every girl.
