Cinderella Makeup Look

Hey Guys!
Following the release of the new Cinderella film and the MAC collection I thought I'd do a Cinderella makeup tutorial! I'll be explaining more the products I used other than the techniques so I hope you enjoy!



So starting with the face... I used Kiko Perfect Base Corrector for primer to make my foundation application easier to apply. I then used my ever trusting L'oreal True Match foundation in the shade Rose Beige all over the face. I moved onto the eyes and used my MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre. I then went over this with my MAC Paint Pot in Chrome Angel as this made the perfect silver glitter base I wanted. 



For shadows I used MAC Cork in my crease a Morphe Brushes shadow in the shade 29 on the lid. I then went over the lid with Kiko Colour Sphere - 34 which is incredibly glittery so be careful with this product! I then lined my top lash line with Soap and Glory - Supercat and lined my water line in a white eyeliner. I smoked out my lower lash line slightly with Cork. 


Moving back onto the face, I used my MAC Pro Longwear Concealer - NW20 under my eyes and slightly down my nose, on my chin and around my nose. I then went in with Benefit Hoola Bronzer for a light bronzed contour. I used MAC Desert Rose Blush and then blended these two out together. On top of this I used a light dusting of MAC Soft and Gentle Mineralize Skinfinish above my cheekbones as a highlight. 



 I then slightly filled in my brows with the Sleek Brow Kit in Dark and then finished of my face with MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder- Medium. Moving back onto the eyes, I used Benefit They're Real Mascara on my top lashes and used Maybelline Great Lash on my lower lashes. 


I lined my lips with MAC In Anticipation Lip Liner and went over this with MAC Royal Ball Lipstick from the recent Cinderella collection. I added a bit of Gerard Cosmetics Butter Cream Gloss in the centre of my lips and then set everything with my Kiko Face Makeup Fixer and the look was complete!


A really simple girly look which can be recreated with so many products. What look do you think I should do next? I want to start using more drugstore products so will do a complete drugstore tutorial soon. Hope you enjoyed!

5 Makeup Products Under £5

Hey everyone! 
As i've been trying to not buy makeup recently i've been trying to shop my collection and recently I found some great drugstore products that I had forgot about! I wanted to share them with you in a 5 makeup products under £5 post as I thought it was a great way for money saving beauty lovers! I will also be doing 10 products under £10 soon but for now here are these little beauties... 



1. Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr - 70 Metallic Pomegranate - £4.99



This is quite a new product for me and I have only used it twice. It is my only product from this collection but now I want so many more! I love this shade as it is not too bold yet is in no way neutral so encourages me to venture out more to the bright side! As for the actual product, it did seem to last the majority of the day without fading, creasing or flaking which is perfect especially for it's price!

2. MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter - Iridescent Gold - £3.00



Again this is a newer purchase for me as I was desperate to get my hands on the pinker shade however this was all they had in my local Superdrug and for £3.00 I picked it up anyway. This is a very glittery highlight and can look just like glitter instead of a highlighting shimmer however in the right light this can look to die for! I still want to get the rose shade to see how it compares but for £3.00 it really can give an intense highlight. 

3. Milani Lipsticks - 11 Fruit Punch, 26 Nude Crème, 27 Dulce Caramelo - $5.99 (£3.98 approx)



I got these last year while away on holiday as they don't sell Milani in stores here in the UK. I LOVE these lipsticks as they are so pigmented and smell like watermelon. These were the only 3 they had left in store where I was but I'm dying to get my hands on some more Milani lipsticks, especially their new matte range. I love the gold packaging and my favourite lipstick out of the 3 I own is Nude Crème as it is the perfect nude shade for me, love!

4. NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder - 720A Sunny - £1.99



This is such a staple piece in mine and I think a lot of other beauty lover's collections! Definitely one of the cheapest products in my collection but there's nothing that shows that! The product is definitely a bronzer and not a contouring powder as it has quite orangey brown undertone but it's perfect for that effortless summer matte look, I think I will always repurchase this bronzer.

5. Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - Blackest Black - £4.99



Growing up whenever I was allowed to wear makeup, this product always sticks out as being something I would wear. Because of this it was one of the first makeup products I purchased myself and I've always had him in my collection since! I used to use this on all of my lashes as when I was younger it would provide me with the perfect natural lash look however now that I prefer a more fuller lash, I only use this on my bottom lashes. It has a very thin wand and also thin consistency of product which makes it perfect for using on my bottom lashes and I use it almost every single day!

So that is the end of my 5 Makeup Products for Under £5! What did you think? Would a £10 version still be beneficial? Personally I love beauty related posts that help me to save money so hopefully you will too! 
Hope you enjoyed reading this,

Makeup of the day: Night Out

Hey Guys!
On Monday night I went to a club in Bournemouth where Callum Best was hosting his Birthday party. I ended up not even meeting him but took pictures of my makeup when I was getting ready! I've been trying to use things in my collection that I never reach for so here's what I used....


For a primer I used my travel sized MAC Strobe Cream which gives an amazing dewy glow to the skin through your foundation. I also used some Maybelline Baby Lips to moisturise my lips while I do the rest of my makeup. I've been loving L'oreal True Match at the moment so used this for my foundation. I then primed my eyes with MAC Paint pot in Soft Ochre. This is where I wanted to use some products that I hardly ever use... I put down my MAC Palette and picked up my MUA Undress Me Too Palette. I used the shade Lavish (5th from the left on the top row) mixed with Benefit Hoola in my crease for more definition. I then darkened up the outer v with Obsessed (5th from the left on the bottom row). For the lid I used MAC Lily-White Pigment from their A Fantasy of Flowers collection. I love the colour of this but for some reason have hardly ever used it before! 


For eyeliner, I used my ever trusty L'oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim - Intense Black on the top as it's so easy to draw on your liner as close to your lash line as possible. For my lower water line I used MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil - Engraved and it stayed on all night! Moving back onto my face, for concealer I used my Maybelline Instant Anti-Age The Eraser Eye - Light and then to bronze, used Benefit Hoola again! I used my MAC Powder Blush in Desert Rose and then blended it in along with my bronzer. For eyebrows, I used my Sleek MakeUp Brow Kit - Dark and just used the powder. To finish off my face I used MAC Studio Careblend Pressed Powder - Medium and then used MAC Fix+ all over the face to add to the dewy finish. 


For lashes I used Benefit They're Real on top and then Maybelline Great Lash Mascara on my bottom lashes. I then lined my lips with MAC Whirl Lipliner and then filled in my lips with Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm - Elusive which I had just bought that day and really loved. And that completes the look! I know it wasn't very intense reviews on everything but was more for the products!

What's your go-to look for a night out? Or do you normally experiment with new things?
