24HR MAYBELLINE COLOUR TATTOO EYESHADOW IN METALLIC POMEGRANATE, ON AND ON BRONZE & ETERNAL GOLD

When you're in a rush in the morning, eyeshadow can be a real annoyance. I'll whack out my palette, brush on whatever shade I'm feeling and just as I'm finished I'll realise I've covered not only my eyelids with the eyeshadow, but also my cheeks too. Damn that fall-out. I got these cream eyeshadows last year and boy, I'm so glad I did. 

I started my collection with On and On Bronze, being a massive bronze lover and got on with it instantly. This shade is that typical summery bronze and is, and will continue to be my favourite and most used. For Christmas I got Metallic Pomegranate and Eternal Gold. Metallic Pomegranate is a cranberry shade which at first I was a bit scared of trying, I don't quite know why now! I can tell it would look beautiful on a brown eye. Eternal Gold is a bit less pigmented than the other two, but great nonetheless. A bog-standard shimmer gold. I love using this as a base underneath a pinky shade from my Naked 3 palette, it gives a beauty pink gold look!

The quality of all of these are excellent, great pigmentation and easy to use. I love the upmarket glass packaging, although some have said if the lids not on right it can dry out so be careful of that! Each colour can be built up for the desired look and they blend beautifully. They cost £4.99 from Superdrug/Boots and are definitely worth trying!

JUMPER - PRIMARK // JACKET - ASOS // LEGGINGS - FOREVER 21 // BOOTS - TOPSHOP

These leggings were a bit of a bargain at just £4, but I've just really struggled wearing them! I can't stand wearing leggings unless I have something to cover my bum, is it just me?! I also don't think I'll ever get bored of this burgandy jumper & denim jacket combo, I love the two colours together so much!

JACKET - NEW LOOK // TOP* - OASAP // JEANS & SHOES - TOPSHOP 

Don't you love it when a top does the accesorising for you?! This gorgeous top from Oasap does just this. You don't need to worry about what necklace looks right with this, making life a whole lot easier. I'm not sure why but I can see this being a perfect outfit to go out with some friends in for a cheeky glass of wine (fruit juice for me - don't drink underage kids!) and a catch up! Apologies for the awful lighting in these photos - I was too lazy to get 'made up' when there was natural sunlight!

TOP // HEELS // BAG // HEADBAND // DRESS // JEANS

Recently I've seen a lot of all-black outfits. Everbody knows black will alway looks good right?! It's become apparent I'm loving the croc/snakeskin print seeing as 3 of these items are those textures! I bought a snakeskin tee with leather sleeves in the Asos sale a while back and I'm a bit nervous to wear it because it's a bit out there - but I'm looking forward to being a bit daring!!

Naked Basics palette review

NAKED BASICS PALETTE - DEBENHAMS 

Ever since I started watching videos and reading blogs I've wanted a Naked palette. With the Naked Basics palette
being the most affordable at just £20 and most versatile, it was the first one I bought, and I haven't stopped using it since. I use at least 3 of the shades every single day. Four of the five are matte, with 'Venus' having a slight shimmer. 

I tend to use Venus on my inner corners and brow bown to give a subtle highlight. The next two colour are 'Foxy' and 'Walk Of Shame' both very neutral shades, with Foxy a more yellowy tone and WOS a more pinky shade. I tend to use these over the whole of my lid just to even it all out. Next is 'Naked 2', probably the most used in the palette. It's a light brown colour which I always use to fill in my brows - being blonde I find it hard to find a good colour as my brows are slightly darker but this shade is perfect! It's also great to put in the crease to give some subtle definition. Then is the darker brown shade of 'Faint', which I also use for my brows when I want a neater, sharper and bolder look. It's also another good shade for the crease if you want a more obvious but matte smoky eye. Finally is the least used shade 'Craze'. I think a black is needed in this palette however don't tend to use it much on a daily basis because it's so bold! The only time I use this is when I'm doing a much more dramatic smoky eye.

Overall, I think it's obvious that I love this palette. I have never been more in love with any product before, I just can't wait to get the Naked 1, 2 and 3 in the future!!
