Sunday Swatches: 5 Best Golden Highlighters

Sunday, 22 May 2016


Here's a post I've been mentally putting together in my head for a while, based on my current obsession with highlighting. 
There's days I legitimately want to shine like a beacon a la Amrezy in my attempt to blind people with my strobe so that they don't see how tired I really am.. and I think it works most days!

So I thought I'd put together a post of my favourite golden highlighters at the moment.. I can get away with some pinker-toned highlighters and some more bronze-toned ones so I may do a separate post for them altogether, but right now I'm drawn towards gold *sparkle emoji*.

So here's my current favourite line up of 5 Highlighters that I highly love:

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

Friday, 20 May 2016

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

Friday, 6 May 2016

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

Friday, 22 April 2016

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).

Sunday Swatches: NYX Lip Lingerie

Sunday, 3 April 2016


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).

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

Friday, 1 April 2016

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.
