Sooo, unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know that there was the most epic British Royal Wedding here in the UK and I didn't think I could get this emotionally invested in it but I totally was.
In the run up to the wedding I watched a few documentaries about the Royal Wives of Windsor and found myself soo interested in it and the fact that so many rules will be broken if Harry were to wed Meghan.. literally so many and I am here for it!
Anyway, the wedding was absolutely magical and of course we all wanted to see what Meghan would wear but for me I just wanted to see her makeup although I knew it would be on the more natural side to a typical Asian bride 😅
When the veil was lifted she looked absolutely stunning and radiant and as the rest of the wedding carried on, I was trying to see what was going on on her eyes as her face looked like she barely had even any foundation on! From what I could see it looked like a matte smokey brown eye but not in the slightest bit heavy.
After the wedding ended I saw a lot of mixed responses about her makeup but I thought I'd challenge myself to attempt this look as I'm so used to using as many products as I can for a makeup look these days, it was refreshing that the look was so minimalistic on her.
Obvs I'm not blessed with beautiful skin like hers, so I did end up using a little more than I would have on someone with perfect skin/no circles, but read on to see the full list of products and a filmed tutorial!

FF: 2018 Pantone Colour of the year - Ultraviolet

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!)

Friday FOTD: Ariana Grande Beauty and the Beast Makeup Tutorial

For monthsss I've been meaning to upload this tutorial; I filmed it straight after watching Beauty and the Beast at the cinema, but didn't get round to editing it fast enough and then when the Manchester tragedy occurred it felt too wrong to post.. RIP all those innocent lives lost </3

I've always lowkey been an Ariana fan, but after watching Ariana's benefit concert in Manchester it was set in stone that she was awesome!

With the UK DVD release of Beauty and the Beast being this weekend, I thought I'd upload it in time for that, but do check out my video tutorial below as it's quite a wearable look using none other than the ever popular Modern Renaissance palette (yet again!).

The palette is definitely my favourite and most wearable pink-red hued palette so far (read my full review here), and seeing as most people (should) have it, I thought it would fit this "Ari-inspired" look best.

Sunday Swatches: Kylie Cosmetics Holiday Edition Set

Hi my lovelies!
So as my second most popular post for a while has been of the Kylie Birthday Edition swatches, I figured it would probably be good to include more swatches so you guys can gauge which suit darker lips and which don't.
I'm not going to give an in depth review as I have already done so in the original Birthday Edition post linked above, but I will say that this Holiday Edition set seems to be more comfortable to wear which I will elaborate on further in this post.

Sunday Swatches: Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks - Holiday Sets

This Sunday Swatches (and review) post is of yet another liquid lipstick mini set, but this time two from the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks range, which I've been meaning to try for ages now, but held off knowing there would be sets like these around Christmas. This is the fourth video in my latest lip swatches series and you can see the rest in the playlist I created on my YouTube channel here.
These swatch type videos seem to be most popular on my channel, so I decided to film these swatches too (as tedious as it can be!) so you can see more of their true colours in various angles and lighting and of course on darker lips like mine.
There are 7 liquid lipsticks swatched in this post + a Glitterati Lip Top Coat, so read on for more!

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!

Sunday Swatches: theBalm Meet Matt(e) Hughes Mini Liquid Lipstick Set

Hi my lovelies!
I feel like I haven't double blogged in one day in yearsss (if ever?!) but here I am, with two posts in one day.. spoiling you lovely peeps ;)
This second Sunday Swatches and review post is of yet another liquid lipstick mini set, the Balm Meet Matt(e) Hughes liquid lipsticks. I decided to get this up on my YouTube channel too so you can see it in action, definitely let me know if this is something you'd like to see more of!
I prefer to have my swatch and review posts up on a Sunday so it's all organised in my Sunday Swatches posts and hashtags; I've worked doubly triply hard to do this today (because YouTube videos in themselves are hard work!) so I hope you enjoy <3

Midweek Makeovers: Estee Lauder x Victoria Beckham Collection Kendall Jenner Makeup Look

Right my loves!
I recently got sent some of the beaut products from the Estee Lauder x Victoria Beckham collaboration and went through the products on my Snapchat/Instagram Stories (it's faster and easier to do so over there than writing up most times, so make sure you follow me!).
I decided to try and recreate this look that was done on Kendall Jenner for this campaign and luckily I had a gorgeous Kardashian/Jenner looking model (Yasmin Badi) to do so with.. and film for my YouTube channel!
It isn't my usual "style" of makeup and more of an editorial type look that I decided to create as I felt I had enough of the products to try it with.
Read on for the full list of products and YouTube tutorial and let me know what you think below.

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!

Sunday Swatches: Kylie Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lipstick Swatches + Review + GIVEAWAY!

Hellooooo my loves!
It's been a while since I've uploaded to YouTube so I thought why not upload a swatches video of the Kylie Liquid Lipsticks as I have the mini Birthday Edition set which is super pretty but also super tiny!
This will be a pretty long post as I will be comparing the mini Liquid Lipsticks to the full size and also my previous liquid lipstick post (NYX Lip Lingeries).
I'll also be hosting a giveaway at the end of this post so you can have a chance of winning a Posie K lipkit (lip pencil + liquid lipstick). Read on for the review, swatches video and giveaway details!

Sunday Swatches: NYX Lip Lingerie

Hello lovelies, this is my first review since the rebrand, so you'll notice I have to say goodbye to my "FrootiFactors" but will still use my lippies for my overall rating and the rest will remain the same.. hope this helps!
So following my last make up look (collage below), I thought I'd review the NYX Lip Lingeries with full swatches of course.. If you read my Mummy Essentials post you'd have seen me gushing over the NYX Lip Suede in Soft Spoken (still love it as an every day shade!).
When I saw the new Lip Lingeries available on the Boots site, I was a bit disappointed by the pictures (here), because it did not give an accurate depiction of the Lip Lingerie shades (they all look brown in the Boots picture to be honest).
