Maybelline colour tattoo pomegranate review

I am a huge fan of the Maybelline colour tattoo eyeshadow's, and have worn the colour bronze near everyday since purchasing. Whilst I was in Superdrug I fancied trying another shade to add to my collection, I was stuck between the beautiful blue shade or the pomegranate. Having blue eyes I went with the most practical colour for my eye shade and chose pomegranate.
Pomegranate punk is a shimmery metallic purple shade, It is probably one of my favourite colours. I found this needed around 2 coats to have the perfect coverage so really good considering the price. This shade is slightly more sheerer than the bronze which I previously purchased.

When I got home I was very excited to try this colour but was slightly disappointed with the outcome, on my eyes I felt it  gave me the 'I haven't washed my makeup off' Look, like slightly dirty, but maybe that is against my skin tone. I was really hoping this would be amazing like my first purchase but that didn't seem to be the case.

Performance wise, These are amazing. They last at least 10 hours on my lids which is great for when I'm feeling lazy! Another thing I love about this product is the packaging. It is very handy to have, for travelling, nights out and days where you simply can't be bothered to give yourself a makeover. I usually just use this with my fingers and it is very practical. I would probably use this eyeshadow as a base colour underneath a purple rather than on its own so I will still get my wear out of it.

Price: £4.99
Availability: Superdrug, Boots & most online makeup stores.

June Gloom | Favourites

Having so much go on in my life lately I felt like I needed a little pick me up, having a little shop I thought I would make a few cheeky purchases which have become my monthly favourites. 

1| Paul Smith - Floral £12

I remember using this perfume when I was 12 and thinking it was amazing, when shopping recently I spotted it in the perfume shop for £12 and needing a fresh and summery perfume for the day I was quick to buy. I love this just to top up throughout the day and for £12 its a bargain.

2| Mac - Studio Fix Fluid - £21.50

I badly needed a new foundation that would last me all day and give me the perfect finish. Having tried Mac foundations before I could never get the perfect match for my skin tone and every make up artist always colour matched me to such warm pigments. I was recently in Meadowhall and decided to try a different Mac store to my usual one and I was matched up to the colour C3.5. I never heard this colour before so was excited to try, luckily it is the perfect match and this has become one of my favourite foundations to wear. 

3| Aztec Print Necklace - £1.59

I seen on Instagram somebody had put this necklace up and mentioned it only cost £1.59 from eBay. As I love bold necklaces it was such a good bargain, I couldn't resist (Hurray for eBay!)
This came from Hong Kong and took around 3 weeks to come. This is perfect for the summer!

4| Essie & Sally Hansen Nail polish - £3.99 & £1.00

I absolutely adore these nail polishes, this beautiful Essie nail polish is from a shop called 'Xtras' in south Yorkshire. Priced at £3.99 I was happy to buy! they also have a website so you can buy these goodies online! The beautiful blue colour was from Poundland and I always get compliments when wearing it.

5| Este Lauder Double wear - £28.50

This has to be my ultimate favourite foundation. It has lasted me so long and it gives the most amazing finish to your skin. The colour is two shades darker but I love this when I have a tan, makes my skin look flawless and bronzed.

6| MAC Studio Fix powder - £24.50

Originally I bought this as a foundation after hearing good reviews, but It honestly did not work for me at first , leaving it to sit in the draw for quite a while I decided to root it out and give it a second chance. Instead of using this as a foundation or powder I have been using it as a Bronzer/eye shadow and now I love it. The perfect size as a compact and I get double use out of the product woo hoo!

7| NYC High Definition Mascara - £2.99

This is the best mascara I have ever purchased. I was after a cheap fix when I was in a rush one day and happened to come across this, the packaging was what caught my eye but when I tried it, I couldn't be more than happier. It is the perfect length for me, I don't feel like I need too much on my eyes now to make them stand out and I hardly ever wear false eyelashes. Try this if you see it, you wont be disappointed!

Glitter smokes

Hey Guys!
Today I have my first makeup pictorial! I love a glitter smokey eye so I thought I would share how do it, hope you enjoy! P.s Don't mind the numbers at the bottom of the photo, they got mixed up!

Firstly I begun by using a full coverage concealer to prime my eyelids, Using a small foundation brush I used this all over the lids.

I then took Mac's Eyebrow liner in 'stud' and roughly shaped my eyebrows, I never done them perfect because I will always end up shaping them later on.



 I then took a flat top brush and a light concealer to shape underneath my eyebrows, This is important as it defines them into a better shape. Then use your favorite highlighter and use under your brow bone.

Use a black eyeshadow and blend into your crease, This does not have to be perfect!

Use a Gel liner over the top of the eyeshadow to create more definition, I used Collection black gel liner to create this look, Not only is it very pigmented it is easy to blend.

Roughly wing out your liner, this does not have to be neat, you can always redo and touch up later on. I then took a glitter gel liner again by collection and covered the lid.

I then took fearne cottons glitter pot in silver and placed it over the glitter gel liner, this helps it to stay on longer and give it that extra sparkle. 

Using a baby wipe or a cleansing wipe, Clean up under the eye and sharpen up your liner.

Once you have cleaned up, Take a blending brush and blend the top of the gel liner to make it smoother rather than a harsh line.

Take your favorite concealer and conceal under your eyes and above your eyebrows. I used collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer, My favorite for under the eyes. 

Keep blending the liner until your happy with the outcome, Then take your mascara and coat your lashes before the falseys!

Put some lash glue on your lashes and wait till tacky, I used naturals for this look.

Once applied, again go over your lashes with a mascara, this will blend your own lashes with the false ones. Make sure you go from the root!

I then took my glitter liner and topped the lid up for extra sparkle!

 And your done! This is the final look, perfect for dinner or a night out!
