Smokey Cat Eye

Okay so this going to be a very short post on how to get this look: 

1. Apply a nude colour all over the eye 

2. High light the brow bone and inner corner of your eye with a very light beige shadow 

3. Define the crease with a dark brown and wing out slightly- then blend

4. Using a light shimmery brown colour blend it in to the rest of your lid (if possible on top of this pack a gold(ish) glitter around the inner to middle part of your eyelid)

5. Using a black pencil liner line all around your eyes- even upper water line and smudge this a lot 

6. Using a black liquid liner line around your eyes and create a dramatic wing

7. Apply black mascara (fake lashes if you wish) 

8. Clear up under eye with concealer 

Here is my poor attempt at taking a selfie to show you the out come...

Pair this with a nude lip and strong brow

Salted Caramel Muffins

For my lovely mothers birthday I made the most delicious salted caramel and chocolate muffins instead of a traditional cake. Although slightly time consuming they were 100% worth it- but definately not a healthy option, they are basically fat and sugar.

Shailene Woodley Inspired Makeup

I recently went to see "Divergent" at the cinema and it's safe to say I am obsessed! Definitely worth a watch and the soundtrack is amazing. I fell in love with Theo James and Shailene Woodley! They were both gorgeous.

I am not very good with "tutorials" this may not be exactly her make up but it is my attempt using my own products etc. Obviously I look nothing like her but it is purely the make up taken from this one photo:

 

Use foundation and concealer to create a "flawless" appearance and then layer on the bronzer. She looks really quite bronze (if you're pale like me don't worry too much- it's hard to achieve)! 

Highlight the cheeks to give a dewy effect I used "golden peach" high light stick by "Elf".

Strong brows- make sure you comb them through and these should be naturally strong and defined. Although my eyebrows need to be tamed- I can't be bothered.  

A dark eye- natural base colour and a dark matte brown through the crease. To define the bottom use a brown eye liner on your lower lash line (you could go heavier than I did on this).

Then define the upper lash line and outer corner by applying a black eye liner pencil tightly and quite heavily- the trick here is to smudge a lot! You want it to delicately define the eye! 

Apply a natural matte coppery shade to your lips very lightly! 

Not too sure if this was at all helpful- this is a perfect everyday look! I hope you enjoyed.

Plum Foolery

Technically this is a re-purchase, the first time I bought this blush I left it on the plane before ever getting to use it! 

I thought I'd do a review on the shimmer blush by MAC named "Plum Foolery".. 

I am in love with the wash of colour it gives! 

Although this blush is better suited to Autumn/Winter, it is perfectly acceptable for all year round! The shimmer gives a really natural high light and compliments both pale and more tanned skin. If you have green or brown eyes it will compliment them perfectly!

My attempt at a swatch. 

Over all I seriously reccomend this product as an addition to your make up collection- it's gorgeous! 

Food Porn

Was feeling majorly hungry so I decided to blog about it.. 

Jamie Oliver's truffle tagliatelle would go down a treat 

Then again so would this waffle with almonds, walnuts, pistacio ice cream and peanut butter from potty pancakes. 

I must start dieting for prom. Which means that six biscuits with my cup of tea isn't acceptable. And no matter how much I try to justify those six biscuits by saying "they're fig rolls, figs are fruit. I am eating fruit. No one else likes fig rolls I'm doing everyone a favour." So if anyone has any tips on how I can achieve this, let me know. 

Hope I haven't made you too hungry!
