Hi my lovelies!

I recently received the Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette and couldn't wait to create some looks before I got on to the review, so here's my creation I decided to go with, I hope you like!

Sunday Swatches: Too Faced Born This Way Foundation and Love Flush

Hello my loves, hope you're all well!

Today I'm going to be reviewing the Too Faced Born This Way Foundation in shade Sand and the Love Flush blush in I Will Always Love You.

As you may well know from my last post on the Too Faced Bronzer Wardrobe, I have always loved Too Faced for their super sweet girly packaging. 

Sunday Swatches: Illamasqua Dusk Collection

Following my last post featuring my Eid Makeup Look which used the new Illamasqua collection, it's only right I follow up with a review and swatches post to show you just how awesome this collection is!

Dusk Collection (minus the Illustrator Pen)

Dusk is inspired by the middle east and the art of skin sculpting and contouring; I love how the shades in this collection compliment medium/warmer skintones perfectly, (but can equally be worn by fairer and deeper tones too). 

My first impressions were of course surprise and adoration; firstly at the wearability of this collection for my own skintone and secondly the new products I'd never seen before by Illamasqua - the Slick Sticks and the Sculpting Palette. I'm used to their colouring pencils and the quad palettes so this was new territory for me and I couldn't wait to dig in.

FFF: Teal Eid Makeup Look

Hi guys!

So sorry about the lack of posts, I've been uber busy with baby and the month of Ramadan but now that it is over, I thought I would get back on track with my backlog of posts and start with the Eid makeup look I wore last week to compliment my teal kaftan (from StyleMeLondon) as posted on my Instagram:

I didn't get to get a close up of the eyes as usual but I got pretty clear face pictures so you can see that I went for a soft glam with a hint of colour on my lower lashline to tie in with the kaftan as I felt teal on the lids would be too much!

I also got to use my newest makeup products from the Illamasqua Dusk collection (review here!)

Here's a breakdown of products used:
Eyes:
• UDPP
• Illamasqua Brow Gel - Strike & ABH DipBrow Pomade in Chocolate
• Smashbox Full Exposure palette: shimmery golds on lids and matte nudes and black to blend in crease and above
• Illamasqua Precision Gel Liner in Infinity
• UD 24/7 Pencils in Covet and Flipside
• Huda Beauty Lashes: Giselle
Face:
• Maybelline Fit Me foundations in shade 210 and 220
• NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Ginger (slightly darker for me so added HOGD (next) on top
• House Of GlamDolls GlamBase Wheel for contouring and concealing under foundation 
• Illamasqua Sculpting Palette

• Illamasqua Slick Stick for Lips in True

Sunday Swatches: Make Up For Ever HD Foundation and Aqua Products

[picture heavy post!]

After attending the MUFE UK event 2 weeks ago, I knew people were dying to get their hands on some products so here's my review of the ever popular MUFE foundation and swatches of some of their Aqua range.

MUFE HD foundation has been a firm favourite of mine and it has been a staple in my kit for brides (and one that I actually do repurchase seeing as it works so well!)
I also love the HD Powder to use on clients so I was happy to get a full size in my goody bag at the event.

FFF: Too Faced Chocolate Makeup Look

My last post featuring the Too Faced Bronzers spurred me on to do a makeup look, so I thought I would include some of my newest acquisitions in this look including two of the bronzers from the previous post and a Make Up For Ever electric blue Aqua liner. The smell of the Chocolate Soleil bronzer made me want to reach for my Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette too so I thought I'd do a neutral-ish eyeshadow with a dramatic liner.
