The Finished Look

Hey Guys...

Yet again i've got inspired by none other than the pixiwoo sisters. Using my Sleek Acid i Divine Pallette and BH Cosmetics Pallette, I re-created the look.

I NEVER wear this much makeup on a daily basis, but then it's always fun to do for a blog post!

As for products I used...

Revlon Colourstay Foundation - Sand Beige

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder - Transparent 001

MAC Blush - Pink Swoon

Rimmel Professional Eyebrow Pencil - Hazel

Sleek Acid i Divine Palette - Pink Eyeshadow

BH Cosmetics Eyeshadow Palette 

Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer - 240 Aqua Sparkle

Collection 2000 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner - Black

Bourjois Volume Clubbing Ultra Black Mascara

MAC Eyeshadow - Carbon, Charcoal Brown

Eylure Naturalites Lashes

Collection 2000 Lipstick - Bubblegum 6

Barry M Lipgloss - 4

Hope you enjoy this look, it was fun to do, as pink eyeshadow is always a challenge to work with! Think the blonde hair helps too!

Kirsten Stewart Inspired...

The finished look.

Hey Everyone!

My kind friend Catherine, yet again let me borrow her face for me to experiment on, and i got inspired by pixiwoo from youtube to do the Kirsten Stewart inspired look! I love using Catherine as her deep eye sockets and large lids are very easy to work with, as the product can be blended and you still have the highlight space under the brow!

I love recreating these looks and love sharing them on my blog for you guys, to give you inspiration for night outs, weddings, and any other occasions.

As for the products I used, I tried to keep them as close as I could to the pixiwoo tutorial. I will list them below:

Base:

Revlon Colourstay Foundation - Sand (was not happy with the flashback from this product)

MAC eyeshadow in Charcoal Brown for the Brows, using Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Dark Brown for the end of the brows.

Eyes:

Maybelline Gel Eyeliner - Black, all over the lid

MAC eyeshadow - Cranberry, over the black gel liner

Bourjois Delice de Soleil - 12 Fair/Medium Skin, in the crease to blend

Maybelline Gel Eyeliner - Black, to line, waterline, under the eye and tightline

Smashbox Mascara - Black

HD Brows Pallete- used black shade for outer corner of the eye

Face: 

Bourjois Delice de Soleil Bronzer

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

Lips:

Barry M Lipgloss - 11

Collection 2000 Cream Puff - Fairy Cake 3

Thank you for reading...

Hey Abbie's Beauties :)

Finally, a new make-up look! It's been agggesss... 

As one of my friends in work is getting married this summer, I was inspired to do a wedding makeup look. 

I got inspired by the simplicity of Bella Swans make-up from the Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn! I love the hint of colour on the corner of her eyes, with a smoky lid.. very sultry and sexy without too much. As i think less is more on your wedding day! As for the lips... The natural Collection Lipsticks are £1!!!!! They are so so so moisturising and go on the lips so smooth and pigmented. The staying power of the lipstick is amazing too.. Got to have a good lipstick with all the kisses you will be giving on your wedding day including the most important one! <3

I hope you like this make-up look :)

Black Crystalize...

What you will need for this look:

Any Black Eyeliner, I used Collection 200 Extreme Felt Tip Liner.

Black crystals, I got mine from Amazon, they are 1mm Colour Wheel Crystals (they are for nails, but work great on eyes, as they are very small and light)

A Good lengthening mascara, I used Bourjois Fast and Perfect Mascara

A bright Fushia pink lipstick and gloss, I used Sleek MakeUP Lipstick in 'Pink Freeze' and for gloss I used Cargo Lipgloss in Tokyo.

Hey Abbie's Beauties!

I was on youtube, scrolling through my subscription list, and came across a new video from Pixiwoo, I saw this look and thought it was AMAZING! I've never experimented with crystals on the eyes before, so I had to give it a go! This look was SO easy to do, as it only really needs two products for the eyes, black eyeliner and some black crystals. This look is so dramatic but very simple at the same time, and perfect for a night out!

Hope you like this look, and try it out for yourselves!

Sleek Acid i Divine Palette Look #2

Firstly, I used Mac Painterly Paint Pot, all over my lids as a base.

I then applied the raspberry colour from the Sleek Acid i Divine Palette and mixed it with a little 'Sin' from the Urban Decay Naked Palette, to make it more iridescent. 

I then applied, the true purple colour from the Sleek Palette and used a Lauren Luke Pencil brush to apply it on the lower lash line.

Next, I chose the dark grey form the Sleek Palette and used a blending brush to apply it to the outer corner of the eye and into the crease.

I then lined my lids with Collection 2000 Extreme Felt Tip Liner in Black. I also applied Bourjois Volume Fast and Perfect Mascara in Black.

The finished look!

Hi Beautifuls!

Since I love the Sleek Acid i Divine Palette so much, I thought i would make use of all the colours and do a little Acid Series of makeup looks! So.. this is number two! I hope you like it :)

Review - Collection 2000 Extreme 24hr Felt Tip Liner.

I have two colours from the range 'Black' and 'Purple'

'Black'

Also on my eyes... 17 Wild Metallic Eyes - Wild Nude

Mac Pro Palette Eyeshadow - Satin Taupe (over the top of 17 to set it) Naked Lunch/Brule (on the brow bone and inner corner)

                             Benefit 'They're Real!' Mascara

'Purple'

Hi Beauty's :)

This is the AMAZING Collection 2000 Extreme Felt Tip Liner! This eyeliner is perfect, it fits in your hand perfectly like a pen which makes application so easy! The size of the product is good for travel too, as it's slim, sleek and will fit perfectly in any handbag or make-up bag. My favourite out of the two is the black, its a matte, very true black! This product comes in four different colours Black, Purple, Dark Blue and Teal, I am yet to try the other two. The colour is so buildable and the applicator allows you to do thin and thick lines, whichever suits your eye shape. It's very fast drying, and the pigmentation lasts all day. This product lasts ages and mine is yet to dry out! 

Best eyeliner of 2011/12 for me!

Party Nails!

The topshop nail vanishes come in loads of lovely different colours, i chose 'moonshine' as i didn't have a silver in my nail vanish collection. 'Moonshine' has great pigment of colour and glides on the nail very smooth and is so easy to apply (only one coat needed) 

Hi Abbie's Beauties <3

I'm not a big fan of nail vanish, and have only now started painting my nails, as i have started to grow them. But, i was looking through my nail vanish case, and i picked out two colours which i thought would be 'christmasy'.

Hope you like it :)

xoxo

Collection 2000 2 in 1Strengthner and Hardener (Clear) - £2

Topshop - Moonshine - £6

Rimmel - Disco Ball - £2.95
