Electric Purple and Pizzaz Purple

Hello my beautiful reader! 

This is a look that I came up with from the MUA Poptastic palette. 

 
In this look I used the two puplrs I the palette. From this picture is doesn't looks like the two shades but it looks much better in real life. This is the steps that took to achieve this look! 

For the base: as my face has got a natural tan and I didn't want from that I used a very sheer BB cream. 


With some powder to take way any shine. No I didn't use any bronzer as I didn't really need it. I believe that if you have it naturally why put loads of products. 


This picture looks like more of a blue shade but its the Electric Purple. I patted this shade all over my lid with a flat brush. It's a fabulous shade. 

 
For the outter corner of my eye I used Pizzaz Purple. This is a lighted shade and its also fab! Pizzaz Purple is a sheer shade of purple. 


I think this look is just fab and I live how it turned out. For my lips I used a pink lip liner I do t k ow the name of it because I got it in a palette ages ago. 



I hope you understood what I was explaining. Still new to all of this! 

Hope you all liked the look!

MUA Poptastic Palette First Impression and Comparison

Hey all I had tuck a small break. Summer had arrived in Ireland and when the sun comes out you have to take it all in as the rain my come the following day. 


The other day I was in Supergrug and I picked up a MUA Poptastic palette. What drew me to this palette are the fab colours. As you know Rhys distroyed my other colour palette. 

The other palette that I have by MUA is the Glitter Ball and I wasn't to pushed about it. I only used two shades and even at that I didn't use it as offen as I thought I would. 

Both palette have the same packaging and is nothing exciting about it. Glitter Ball palette doesn't have names on the shadows but the Poptastic palette have named all the shadows and I really like that aspect. 


These shades are from the Glitter Ball palette . Most of them are creamy and very soft shadows the only shade that I do like is he black one. But I have other black shadows that great. 

 
These are from the Poptastic palette. First impressions are that I am in live with this palette. The shadows that I have tried they are all soft and easy to use. The test will be when I start using them in  a look. Which will be coming soon. Keep a look out for that. 

I hope that was helpful to you all. 

Do you have this palette? 

Thanks all for visiting!

Colourful Summer Look

Happy Monday everyone. Today ill show you what summer look I came up with during the weekend. I normally don't wear this kind of makeup but it was so nice outside and the sun makes me so crazy thinhgs 

 
Base: Nivea cream. I love this cream I have very dry skin and this heavy cream does a great job. I also like it how it works with my foundation too. I have used so many different moisturising creams under my foundation and they all have not worked. In other words what I mean to say is that all my flaky patches would come through and it would look terrible and as girls know that is not a good look for anyone. 


As you can see I have already hit pan on this concealer and I will be getting a new one and I am thinking of doing a review too. 


I took pictures of the colors that I used but the palette is in a total state as Rhys got his little finger and distroyed a lot of the shades. From his picture you can see I uses a pink a purple and a turquoise on the bottom. 


I just picked colors that I thought would look nice. I think I didn't do too bad of a job. I really like it anyway. The palette that I used the 88 Matte color palette from Blank Canvas Cosmetics. This is the only palette that I have from them and I love it.  I will need to replace it though as it look awful at the moment. 


The lipstick that I uses is an Avon called Naughty and Nice. I apply it very lightly as its a bit on the dark side to be a nice nude. 

 
This is what it looks like when applies on the heavy side. It has a orenge under tone. The smell of the lipstick is amazing. It smells like coconuts. 

I hope you like this look. I will be coming up with some more for the summer!
