Sexy Little Stowaways- By Benefit

This is one of my favorite gift sets of the season, it is a set of 10 of Benefit's best sellers! This is a great buy for only $34 off the Benefit site,especially if you are wanting to try a few of their products but dont want to fork out the price for the full size items without trying them as benefit can get a little pricey.These are mini versions of each product so they are also great for traveling.

Defining Eye's Palette- Sigma Beauty

This lil baby is at the top of my list! This is the best gift you could give someone who is into makeup,it has everything! It comes with 8 eyeshadows,2 gel liners,2 pencil liners,a double ended brush and a booklet on how to create different looks using this palette and its $55. I would simply buy this palette as it was part created by Tiffany D,an all time favorite beauty guru of mine who started out on youtube,i just love her story :)

My Thoughts On Maybelline Eye Studio Palette's

I recently picked up two of the Maybelline Eye Studio palette's from Target when they had 30% off so i took full advantage of this great special and bought 2 for $20.I am LOVING Maybelline lately,i feel like they   are bringing out great products that rival high end brands,especially their colour tattoo's i cant get enough of them! 

These are two palettes i chose,they are both neutral-ish colours and warm which i always gravitate to. The top palette is "Irresistibly Ivy" and the bottom is "Copper Chic" which is my favorite.

These eyeshadows are so beautiful,they are like velvet! When i used these i had no creasing,hardly any fall out and the pigmentation was perfect!

 "Irresistibly Ivy"

"Copper Chic"

I have also created a look using the "Copper Chic" palette just to have a little play with it and let me just say,these eye shadows are amazing to work with! I would be more than happy to buy more of these :) 

Have you tried any of these palettes before? Are you a Mayblline fan? Thankyou so much for stopping by,i appreciate each and every one of you :)

Lilac Eyes

Hi pretty's!Long time no post,right? This weeks resolution is to be a better blogger :) Todays EOTD is very soft and girly but also a little bit smokey at the same time which i love,its a good balance! It was super quick and easy,so i hope you like it and give it a go.

Products used: Nyx jumbo pencil in "Milk",MAC eyeshadows in "Melton Mauve","Parfait Amore",Inglot eyeshadows in "Matte 336","AMC 67"

-First i started by applying eye primer over my eye lids,then over the top of that i applied the "Milk" jumbo pencil.then smudged it out with my finger.

Next using a small fluffy brush i used "Melton Mauve" around the inner corner of my eye, and then taking that colour in to about halfway of my eyelid.

-After that using "Matte 336" on a pencil brush i applied that colour around the outer corner of my eye,and blending the edges out with a clean blending brush.

-Next, in between the mauve and blue colour i patted down "Parfait Amore" on a flat eyeshadow brush to blend the colours together.

-I then used "AMC 67" on a pencil brush and patted    that down around the outer corner of my eye,this just gives the purple-ish-blue colour a bit of depth.

To finish off i applied black gel liner to my top lash line,mascara and false lashes.

Thankyou so much for stopping by,if you have any request/suggestions for upcoming post's i would love to hear them!  

Green & Bronze Eyes

Hi pretties! I have to apologize for the lack of post's lately life has just been waaaaaay too hectic! But i have  for you another autumn inspired look,please dont judge lol i just happen to gravitate towards these colours. 

This has been a look i have been wearing almost daily lately i love it,and i hope you do too :)

Products used: NYX jumbo eye pencils in "Rust" and "Sparkle Green",Inglot eyeshadows in "Matte 329","Pearl 452","AMC Shine 09", "Pearl 419"

-First i started by applying eye primer over my eye lids,then just using my finger i patted down the "Rust" pencil all around my eye lid.

-Next using a pencil brush i used "Matte 329" (a matte chocolate) around the outer corner of my eye lid making a "V" shape.

-After that on a flat eye shadow brush i used "Pearl 452" (a shimmery mahogany-cranberry) and i patted that colour down in the middle of the eye lid,overlapping the chocolate colour a little.

-Next in the inner corner i used "Pearl 419" (a pearly olive green),then in between the green and the cranberry colour i patted down "AMC Shine 09" (a shimmery copper-gold). I also used a clean blending brush and blended around the edges of color.

-To finish off i lined my water line with the "Sparkle Green" jumbo pencil,lined my top lashline with the black Inglot gel liner,and applied mascara and false lashes.
