Makeup Look: Nearly Purple

I have recently started back at college to do my masters so with nine o clock starts, my morning make-up has become a lot simpler. To create this look I used Natural Collection in Blackcurrant/Violet.

How I created this look:

1. I applied Urban Decay primer potion to prime my eyelids.

2. Next, I applied the lighter of the two purple colours from my eyelid to slightly above the crease of my eyelid.

3. Now I applied the darker purple to my eyelid and then blended both the colours on the crease.

4. Finally I applied NYX doll eye mascara to finish the look.

This is a very simple look and very useful for when you may be in a hurry.

Makeup Look: Plumtastic

This is another look created with the Urban Decay Naked Palette. I would consider this a good look for day time or if you prefer something neutral. I used mainly the purple and plum colours. Although the colours appear more brown in the pictures for some reason.

How I created this look:

1. I primed my eyes from lid to brow bone.

2. I then applied 'Toasted' on to the entire eyelid. I blended it in to make it appear more natural and soft.

3. Next I applied 'Hustle' to the crease and blended it with 'Toasted'. I wanted the colours to be very blended and very soft.

4. I applied 'Virgin' just above where 'Hustle' ended all the way to my brow bone to highlight the area.

5. I finally applied NYX doll eye mascara to my top and bottom lashes.

I wanted to keep this look very simple therefore there are only a few steps. I wear this look a lot as it is good for nearly all day looks.

July Favourites

I know it's a few days into August so I apologise for being a little bit late with my July Favourites.

1. I'll start with what I have definitely been using the most. It also made an appearance for the June favourites. It's Urban Decay's Naked palette. I still use this nearly everyday and also night for creating different looks.

2. I have also been using Urban Decay's Supercurl mascara a lot this month since I received it for my birthday. It really finishes off an eye look and is great for day and night time.

3. With regards to foundation I have been using Max Factor Lasting Performance. It gives me great coverage and also gives a flawless look.

4. For priming my eyes before eyeshadow I have been using Revlon Vital Radiance. It gives great longevity to any eyeshadow that I apply and also prevents any creasing.

5. For my lips I have been using a Benefit lipstick in LaLa Land. I will be reviewing a few of Benefits lipsticks soon.

6. I have been using a variety of different blushers and bronzers over the past month. I have been trying to use different ones instead of using my Benefit Coralista and also testing some other's for review purposes.

7. For my nails I have been using, again, Penny's Cornflower and also Tesco's Barbara Daly Goodbye Yellow.

8. For my brushes I have been using mainly MAC 187 for foundation and No7 concealer brush and also Elf stippling brush for applying my high definition powder. I have used some other brushes too but these have been the ones I have used most.

Gifts!

I haven't posted anything in a few days and the reason was it was my twenty-first birthday and I had a lot to organise. I also had family and friends coming to visit so I didn't get time to do the posts I had planned.

I did however get some really nice presents so I'm going to share those things with you.

Urban Decay Urban Bride - I'm not or wont be a bride for a long time but my friends knew I would love this box and I do!! There are six great products inside.
