Tanya Burr Hollywood eye palette!

Hollywood eye palette

This is such a beautiful palette. If you are looking for a pallete that has some amazing shades from nudes to glittery bronze then this is the palette for you. Tanya's collection is bringing out some amazing paletts but this one is my favourite. I have blue eyes so the copper colour " enchantment" compliments my blue eyes perfectly and the white colour " nude delight" is a great under the brow colour.

The shades are so pigmented and the colour pay off is amazing! They last a long time on the eyelid and the colour stays all day! For me it does start to crease if I haven't put down a base on my lids first this is only because I have oily lids. However I have tried this on others without oily lids and it stays in place. Even if your don't have oily lids I would still recommend putting an eye shadow primer down or even use a concealer they both work well in ensuring that the shadow stays longer. You get your high end pallets like the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette which is also one of my loves but this one is equally as good, there isn't as many shades no. But you can buy more than one pallet for less than the chocolate bar palette which I this is really good, and the pigment is equally as good also.

If you have blue eyes I would definitely recommend this palette because it makes blue eyes POP, also if you're looking for a good palette for an affordable price then this is one for you!

Everyday Makeup!

Everyday Makeup

So for today's blog I thought I'd give you a low down on how I do my everyday makeup!


So first of all I start off with my clean and clear advantage facial cleanser or my garnier micellar water to clean my skin and remove any excess dirt or oil. I will then apply some of my simple toner on a cotton ball to my face, also apply my simple under eye cream to my eyes.


As for primer I will start off by using my Nivea men's post shave balm, and once this has gone tacky I then apply my W7 prime magic camera ready primer to the areas where I have large pores and also my T zone. Once I have let this sit I will go ahead with my foundation, which is the L'Oreal infallible 24h matte foundation, I will buff this into my skin with a buffing brush until it's all blended well. Once I have done this I will then go in with my Freedom eyebrow pomade on a angled brush and fill my brows. I'm one for doubling things up so I then go in with my collection lasting perfection concealer and apply this to my eyelids as a primer. I tend to use a variety of eye shadow pallets; the one I reach to the most is my freedom pallet! I will choose an eye look and go for it, I never do the same one again each day.

Once my eye look is complete I will go under my eyes with the collection lasting perfection concealer and blend it in with my beauty blender. Once this is done I go in with a great hack and I apply baby powder under my eyes to bake. While this is baking I either go in with my cream contour kit (not sure of the name) or my powder one by Primark and define my cheekbones, sometimes I use both if I am going for a more dramatic look. I will then move on to covering any spots I have with the same collection concealer! I will then go in with my sculpt and bronze duo by MUA and bronze up my face. Finally I will remove the bake and curl my eyelashes with my Barry M curlers and I will then go in with my Maybelline push up drama mascara and apply this to my top and bottom lashes. I will then set my foundation with my Maybelline stay matte powder and finish it all off with a few sprays off my Urban Decay De-Slick setting spray! If I am going to wear a lip colour I will go between Mac's Velvet Teddy and Stone by Mac or if not I will just use some lip balm. OH and I can't forget HIGHLIGHTER and this is my MUA Shimmer Highlighter in Iridescent Gold and I will apply this too my cheekbones, eyebrow bone, and cupids bow. I'm sorry this isn't the best description but hopefully I will be doing a full YouTube video of my everyday makeup more in depth.

Favourite Scent Over Summer

Zara - Lilly Pad

This has to be my favourite scent over the summer!
ZARA has some really good perfumes and if I'm honest the price is really good too!

There was many that I tried to see which one I liked the most and yes they all smell really good but this one stood out for me the most! It's such a good scent and for only £5.99 for 30ml is really good! I almost used it every day and I still haven't used up the whole bottle.

So summer is all about sun, beaches, fruit cocktails, and bright colours. This perfume has a fruity aroma and it's definitely long lasting. The website says the scent is - Fruit cocktail-Tangerine-Wood-Vanilla-Praline. All these together are really beautiful and I wore it all the way through summer. I would also say this would be a great scent for autumn and I think I will be wearing through to winter. If you're looking for a sweet and fruity scent then this one is for you. However if you're not the biggest fan of a fruity smell then you should definitely check out some of their other scents. If you're looking for a floral scent I recommend ZARA White, or if you're looking for something Oriental then I recommend ZARA Black. I will definitely be repurchasing this again because I find it such a beautiful scent and it's now one of my favourite perfumes.

Autumn Inspired MUA Palette

 MUA'S - Romantic Efflorescence Palette 

This is such a beautiful palette! The shades are so autumnal with some lovely deep plumbs, to glittering coppers! This is the ultimate autumn palette.

I was in my local Superdrug looking for a cleanser and me being me I will always come out with some sort of makeup product! When I already know I have too much! I'd seen this palette before, however put of buying it because I know I have way to many palettes and didn't need another one! But seeing it again and the same palette catching my eye, meant I had to get it, it had to be fait! And for £4 it's a no brainer!! It's so worth the money that you pay! Again like their highlighter, there is almost a covering on each showdown that you need to rub away before the shadows become pigmented. Out of all the colours in the palette the copper shade really caught my eye. I think this is because I have blue eyes and shades like this really compliment them, so I was all up for trying it. If you too have blue eyes this pallet is definitely for you!

You can create a wide range of eye looks from subtle daytime, to daytime glam, to full out night glam. That's what I like about this palette most, because there is a range of light to dark shades which means you can create a wide variety of looks for different occasions.

I am very fond of the MUA palettes are I currently own a few of them. This is down to the quality. Their makeup is such good quality and the pigmentation is really good! The eye shadows are long wearing and with a really good primer underneath they will last all day! I would definitely recommend to a friend or anyone looking for a really good pallet for good money this one and the other pallets the brand does! Because the quality and the price is just so good and you would be a fool not to have one in your collection.

So if you are looking for good quality makeup on a budget then I would definitely say check out MUA because they do a wide variety of makeup from brushes, foundation, setting spray, lipstick etc.

This could be my next Holy grail cleanser - Micellar water

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

The cleanser I used to use none stop was the traditional Micellar Cleansing water and I re purchased it one after the other for around a year. Last week I ran out of this one so ended up taking a well earned trip to Superdrug. I love a good bargain when it comes to make up and facial products and this one was on offer for £4 for 400ml which I think is defiantly value for money!

My skin is so complicated, I have oily skin which I don't mind. But when it comes to acne, my skin is so weird! I can go through a time when it's really clear, to the odd spot to when I have quite a few. And I defiantly try different products to control this. The standard Micellar water is really good for cleansing the skin and getting rid of makeup and dirt.
This cleansing water is the new pure active range so this immediately caught my eye because I thought this could be really good and clear my skin. So this product claims to "Micellar Cleansing Water is an easy way to remove make-up, cleanse and purify the skin, eye area and lips in 1 step without rinsing. For combination to oily and sensitive skin". In my opinion it defiantly removes makeup with a couple of cotton pads. I have oily skin so this is a really good product for me because it removes any excess oil and leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh. Within the week I have been using it I have noticed that my skin has cleared up a lot and also my oil has reduced. If you have oily skin then this is the product for you!

The way I use this is in the evening I will either just use this to remove my make up or use a face wash as well. I apply this to a cotton pad and swipe it all over my face including my eyes and neck because this is really gentle and nice on the eyes. I will use it until the cotton pad is clean when removed off my face. I also use this on a cotton pad in the morning to remove any excess oil before I do my makeup. It leaves my skin feeling clean, fresh and smooth. If you want to clear your skin fast with a really good gentle product this is defiantly the one!
