So as you guys should know by now, purple (and pink) are my favourite colours and with Ultraviolet being the Pantone colour of the year I knew I wanted to start the year off with a bang, so I created this makeup look using the Urban Decay Electric Palette as it was best fitting (see previous posts with this palette here!)

FF: Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes Quarter Cut Crease

After attending the FIRST Too Faced store launch in Carnaby Street London and receiving an epic goodie bag, I knew I had to create a look with the Just Peachy Mattes palette which is currently only exclusively available at the store in the UK (Debenhams dates tbc).

Naked Heat Makeup Look 2 - Smoked Ashes

Second in my 3 part series of Naked Heat looks is this smoky matte look using shimmer shadows on the bottom lashline and a slight change of colour on the lips as I mixed 1993 Vice liquid lipstick with my fave nude pink shade Backtalk (yes it's personalised!) for this look. Read on to see all products used and more pictures 💗

Friday FOTD: Naked Heat Makeup Looks - Look 1 - Baked Ember

After my Naked Heat review + swatches (here), I wanted to create a couple looks with it so you guys can get some inspo seeing as many of you either already have this palette or wanted to see certain shades used (like Ashes and He Devil!)
I was going to just create two smoky looks (second smoky look here) as that was most requested but really wanted to add a reddish one (here) seeing as this palette is about bringing the HEAT:

Instead of putting them all in one post and making it super picture heavy, I've decided to split them up into three posts so keep an eye out for the other two makeup posts 👀 I pretty much used the same face/lip products for each look, with just a different eyeshadow technique, so I hope you enjoy this quick makeup series!
Read on for the first look and products used!

Friday FOTD: Mermaid Lashes Makeup Look - L'Oreal Miss Baby Roll

So lately I've been skipping uploading makeup looks to my blog purely because it's hard work enough uploading x3 makeup look IG posts these days let alone here on the blog with full reviews and swatch posts too!
I also find it easier to do a fast makeup look and take selfies with my phone if I have to, to keep my creative juices flowing and my instagram feed active. But for this particular look I brought out my SLR to take proper pics as it really made me feel some type of way. 
In case you're not following me on Instagram, I recently have remembered my fondness of colour and how happy it makes me feel to wear bright colours, so I thought I'd upload the latest IG post here that made me feel all mermaid-y using blue shades. Read on to find out what I used!

Friday FOTD: NYX Lid Lingerie + Modern Renaissance Berry/Maroon Make Up Look

Hello my beauts!
It's been a while since I posted a make up look for Friday FOTD, but ever since I got the new NYX Lid Lingeries I have been dying to create a look with them and as requested, I decided to use the reddest one from the selection I was sent: Evening Spell.
I also used the ever popular Modern Renaissance palette (review+swatches here).

FF: Huda Beauty Rose Gold Make Up Tutorial - Soft 3D/Halo Look + GIVEAWAY

Helloooo my gorgeous followers!
I'm back with another tutorial this week, using non other than the Huda Beauty Rose Gold Textured Shadows palette (full review with swatches HERE).
Not only this, but I am hosting another very exciting giveaway with this very palette, so for those of you who missed out and can't wait until January (when Cult Beauty restock it in the UK), or you just can't afford this palette yet, here is your chance to get your hands on a brand new one for yourself.. and yes it's international!
Details will be at the bottom of this post, so read on for more info and of course this make up look, complete with a YouTube tutorial <3

FF: Blue-Green Glitter Ombre Eyeliner Tutorial Make Up Look

I put out another Twitter poll (I clearly have a lot of material to blog about at the mo, woohoo) and this Ombre Eyeliner tutorial won, with the Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics palette tutorial as a close second so I decided to incorporate both in this look and hope you like! For my YouTube, I'm trying to keep it as simple and easy to follow as possible as I personally have never really been one to spend more than 10 minutes on a YouTube video and find it quite off-putting if a video is (sorry if you do!). I just don't have the time personally so if and when I do watch a YouTube video, I find myself skipping to the parts I'm interested in if the video is more than 10 minutes long. Basically, I hope to cut all my videos to under 10 minutes as much as possible.. so that it's all high quality content and not me jabbering on about things irrelevant to what the video is about. So this is the look I created with the new Urban Decay Razor Sharp Liquid Eyeliners, read on for the full list of products and the corresponding video tutorial!

FF: Soft Glitter Cut Crease Make Up Look + Tutorial

In case you haven't noticed, I've been pretty consistent with my blogging this year; I feel like I have my blogging mojo back and feel inspired with my consistent posts so if you're a fan of these or find them helpful, please do comment below and let me know what you'd like to see more of!
This week's makeup look is a fairly simpler/less harsh version of a glitter cut crease that I created back in 2013 (blog post here, check out my marker pen brows though!)
Anyways, here's the final look and I decided to create a corresponding YouTube tutorial with it below (yay!), so let me know if you recreate it and if you found it easy enough to follow!

FF: Super Simple Soft Smokey Make Up Look + Tutorial

Couldn't help alliterating there! Soooo, after my last eye make up tutorial, I'm back with another "simple" full face one this time and I'm hoping it is of some benefit to my lovely followers out there! 
I half contemplated not putting it up on YouTube to be honest, as I had to record on my Camcorder (which doesn't record in as great quality as my SLR) and I was out of shot a lot due to my mirror, but I salvaged what I could and hope you enjoy anyway!

Again, I'm using my Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette (review in this post). Read on to see all the products used!

FF: Easy Glittery Moondust Palette Make Up Look + Eye Make Up Tutorial | Eid

It's been quite a while since I've done a make up look on myself but I'm indeed back and with another YouTube video too *gasps*.
If you've kept up with me on my social media channels (Snapchat/Instagram), you would have probably seen me post about this beaut of a palette I received from Urban Decay: the Moondust palette. I was obsessed with the colour "Lithium" in this palette when I first swatched it and knew straight away I had to create a look with it (see "Magnetic" being used in the make over I did here). As Eid is coming up, I thought it would be fitting to do a simple glittery make up look and one that doesn't require eyeliner so that it's super simple.

I thought I would make also make use of my Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette as it's sooo versatile and of course is currently sold out, so I'm assuming a lot of people have this as a staple palette too now! (If you don't, see me rave about it in this post). Read on to see all the products used!

FF: Smokey Grey Alice Through The Looking Glass Make Up Look

This weeks look is using the new Urban Decay Alice Through The Looking Glass palette (to which I have the original that you can spot in this UD post here). I asked you guys what colours you'd like me to use for a look and decided to pick Dream On as I haven't done a greyish look in a while.

FF: Smokey Navy Arabic Make Up Look

Hey guys!
This week I thought I'd get down to doing a smokey look as it's been a while..  and thought I'd jazz it up by using my newest lenses (Solotica Hidrocor Avela) and an Arabic style eyeliner. I uploaded a phone camera pic on Instagram (below) after a friend forced me to (I tend to keep looks under wraps until Friday's) but the response was lovely so I'm glad I did post it raw from my phone!

FF: Naked Palette Brown-Gold Make Up Look

Hi my loves!
This post features an old but much used palette: the original Urban Decay Naked Palette. I have to say out of all three palettes this one is still my favourite (you can read my recommendations/thoughts on the three palettes here).

Anastasia Beverly Hills World Traveler Smokey Make Up Look with NYX Lip Lingeries

Hello my lovelies!
I fancied going for a smokey look as it feels like it's been a while and of course I couldn't help myself and had to incorporate neutrals/brown into it (my hands/eyes are just drawn to neutrals these days, can't help it!). I decided to use my untouched Anastasia Beverly Hills Shadow Couture World Traveler palette and decided to pair it with (shock, horror) nude lips - the new NYX Lip Lingeries.

FFF: UDxGwen "Danger in 1987" Blue-Gold Makeup Look

Hello my loves,

Thought I'd start 2016 with a fresh, colourful FFF/makeup look featuring the same main two shadows as the last look (1987 and Danger), but used in a different and more colourful way (as requested).

I also followed the Dress Your Face contouring technique with the LA Girl concealers I already owned (Creamy Beige & Fawn).. Hope you like it as much as I did creating it <3

FFF: Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Palette Makeup Look

So following my last review post of the gorgeous Gwen Stefani palette, I had to use the two colours I picked out asap for a makeup look; 1987 (a bright yellow gold) and Danger (a deep royal blue).

love this palette! <3

I also added the electric blue 24/7 eyeliner on the waterline.. full product list and more pics below! 

FFF: Urban Decay "Flame" Vice 4 Palette Look

I'm back with a makeup look I created using the new Urban Decay Vice 4 Palette.. I fell in love with the shade "Bitter" (a matte burnt orange shade) and knew I had to use it for a look so I decided to also use the fiery golden "Flame" and add a pop of purple colour to finish the look..
