FOTD: Desert Rose

Hey ladies!

Today I decided to have a little play around with my makeup as it has been a while since I have done anything dramatic or at all different to my everyday look. I decided to create a double wing and got carried away whilst doing so and ended up double winging my inner corner too. Quite pleased with how it turned out actually! Makeup deets below:

Hullooo! ♡

So last night I put on a whole face of make-up for pretty much no reason whatsoever. This is pretty much a "Face of the Night" blog post because I applied my make-up at night.. Not because I was going anywhere. Ah, the sweet life of a social reject.

I've seen a few people rocking this look recently - the blue liner/lower lid look that is - and as I thought it looked pretty awesome so I decided to give it a good old go. I actually really liked the way it turned out and figured it would be a little bit of a waste if I didn't blog about it.. So here you go! I realise I've used a TON of products (as you'll see below) - honestly, it's really not necessary - I was just playing about with my makeup and got a little carried away (lol). I hope you enjoy!

FOTD: Modern Vintage (08/11/14) ♡

Why hello there.

I think it's fair to say that it has been quite a long while since I posted any sort of "Face of the Day" blog posts - shame on me. Since I quite liked my make-up yesterday however, and  since I also had quite a bit of time on my hands to take a few photographs of it, I thought it would be nice if I got my big girl blogging panties on and shared my face with you all.

 I aimed for a slightly "Pin-up Girl" look which is quite retro/vintage with the winged eye-liner and red lips. Of course, I myself am a modern gal in the sense that I am living in the present, so this is a "Modern Vintage" look - just to justify the title of this post!

 I've listed every single product used below. I hope you all enjoy this little read & I look forward to seeing you again soon!

I did quite like the asian clothing.. Despite how unbelievably heavy it was.. the fact that my trousers kept falling down and the fact that the jewels kept pulling hairs out of my head and catching just about everything >.<

I hope you guys enjoyed this post - I know it's something a little different! I tried to follow on from a request for more Arabic-style makeup looks so I hope I've managed to please with that :-)

Take care & I'll see you all soon!

♡ FOTD || Too Faced Natural Eye Palette | Gold and Brown ♡

Hello ladies! ♡

We've had an awfully long heatwave going on over here in the UK for a couple of weeks now so if I've been slacking in posting it's because I just cannot stand the feeling of makeup on my face when it's hot and humid outside! You can see how frizzy my hair is in the pics below too (lol) it's just disgusting over here at the moment.

Anyway, I thought I would use my Too Faced Natural Eye Palette as I have been neglecting it recently. I felt like creating a really warm gold and brown smokey eye to emphasise that little bit of a tan I've got going on at the moment. I can't pull off warm shades in the winter so I thought I'd just go for it while I can! Here's what I came up with. It's a pretty basic smokey eye but I do like the way it turned out ^_^

That's all dolls! Any feedback on this look would be greatly appreciated! Again, the colours aren't as vibrant in the photographs as they were in person so just hang on in there! I'll have a new camera within a couple of months so I'll post better quality makeup looks for you all.

I do have another look on the way (should be up by tomorrow) so keep an eye out for that! I hope you're all enjoying the sunshine more than me and I'll see you all soon!

FOTD- Arabic Inspired Dramatic Makeup ♡

Hello Ladies! ♡

I thought I'd try and do an FOTD/FOTN inspired by Arabian makeup. I find it so glamorous and feminine and really wanted to test it out as it is one of my absolute favourite looks. 

I've always LOVED the Arab culture.. from their food, music and dancing right through to their makeup and fashion. It may have something to do with living abroad in an Arab country for a while in my childhood. I can't say it was a negative influence at all though!

I kept my face very neutral so that my eyes stood out from the rest of my face. I used a selection of matte and shimmery bronzers to create a dewy bronzed complexion. I also opted for nude lips and kept them quite matte so that my face didn't look over-the-top and greasy.

I don't know how well the look has come out as my makeup skills are self-taught so I'm not the best when it comes to creating such wild eye-looks haha. I'm personally not too keen on the double-wing I created as it's rather scruffy and not very precise. I don't think the rest is too bad though.. aside from the fact I may have taken my eyeshadow a little too high up! I hope you enjoy the look anyway ^_^
