Purple Paradise

Hello lovelies

Last night I was playing around with my make up and I really liked what came out of out so I'm going to share that with you today! I did a post on Selena Gomez's makeup from her come and get it video and that went down really well so this is very similar!










Face
Rimmel Wake me up Foundation: Ivory
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder: Translucent
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer: Fair
Nars Bronzer: Laguna
Urban Decay Eyeshadow: Virgin (used as highlight)

Eyes
Urban Decay Eyeshadow: Buck (eyebrows)
NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil: Milk
Urban Decay Eyeshadow: Omen, Half Truth, Vanilla, Foxy
L'oreal superliner blackbuster intense
No.7 Stay Perfect Mascara: Black
Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner: Black, Nude

Lips
Rimmel lipstick: Airy Fairy
Miss guided lipgloss: Peach

I applied my concealer first, I've recently discovered this is the best way for me to hide all my blemishes to get the most flawless finish I can. I then applied a thin layer of foundation before setting it with powder.
For my eyes i applied the nyx jumbo pencil as a base and also to really make the colours pop especially the colour omen. Omen is a beautiful purlple with some pink in it from the 15th wedding anniversary Urban Decay Palette (Swatches here). I put this all over my lid then using Half truth another colour from the palette in my crease and under the lower lashline. In the inner corners i used Vanilla and as a highlight I used Foxy from the Naked 2 Palette as it is a matte finish.
I filled my eyebrows in just a little using the eyesahdow buck from the Naked Palette before using the L'oreal liquid eyeliner to create a thin line with a small flick.
I used rimmel scandaleyes eyeliner in black to tightline my eyes and use the eyeliner in the shade nude to line my waterline. I used No.7 Stay Perfect mascara in Black which is currently one of my favourites for long eyelashes.
To finish off the face I used Nars laguna bronzer all over to add some colour back without using colour and highlighting with Urban Decay eyeshadow Virgin.
I then applied my rimmel lipstick with miss guided lipgloss on top for a nice neutral lip to finish everything off.

I love this make up, I can't wait to have a party I can wear it to! Hope you liked this kind of post and if you'd like to see more in this style let me know!

Keep Your Heels High

Hello there beautiful people

I don't know about you but I LOVE getting dressed up to go out and getting dressed up means HEELS

I love shoes, heels in particular so I thought I'd share mine with you so we can discuss how amazing shoes are


Starting with my black heels





 These were the one of the first ever heels I bought from New Look years ago. I could hardly walk in them when I got them, Bless my little self. But Yeah I still really like these, I don't wear them as much anymore but they are great because they are so simple and classic and go with practically anything.



 These next ones I got about 2 years ago from a German shoe shop in Aberdeen (sorry I can;t remember the name! ) They were so cheap like £15 and I have worn these to death and they are still in amazing condition! What more can I ask?













These babies are my newest to my heels collection that you will see! They are from New Look, I got them in the sale in January for £13. These are great. They go with almost everything for a party and they have lace all over which I love and they also have patent details! Only down side to these is they kill your feet because of the height!


Next, My purple shoes



Looking familiar? Yes these are the exact same as the first pair I showed, just in purple. I loved them so much I had to get both colours even though they only had purple in a 6 and I wear a 5 I bought them anyway. So as you can imagine I've never actually worn these.. I'm going to give them to my mum I think, they'll fit her!













Now these, These are my pride and joy, My babies, I love them to pieces. They were actually a birthday present for my 16th from my best friend, oh she knows me so well. I know they were from boohoo.com But come on, we all just have to take a few minutes to appreciate the beauty that are these shoes. They are suede with an amazing glitter heel, only downside is again, they kill your feet and aren't the easiest to walk in but it's so worth it even if you do fall three times in one night..


My red and pink













These were the first pair of heels I ever got and they were actually my mums and are also slightly too big being a size 6 but I wore them anyway because I adored these shoes! They are just patent red with a little fabric bow. As you can see i like this style of shoe when I first started wearing heels! These were from New Look and are just a pair of nice simple red heels.




 I got these nude shoes after months of searching for the perfect pair. Eventually I found these in guess where? New Look. I absolutely LOVE how the heel and platform and strap are a different colour. These shoes just make me so happy. I get to wear them a lot and they are the perfect fit! No insoles needed for these babies! The best part yet, I can keep them on ALL night!

My Little Silver Sandals





I got these for a friends 16th whose party was in the summer. They are from Stead & Simpson which has now closed down I think, well at least the one where I live has. They were just perfect for the occasion and were really inexpensive. I really like these because they are so dainty and pretty. Perfect for summer parties with the family and little things like that.

Wedges













These are the last shoes I'm going to show. My wedges. I got these last summer to go with a dress I bought for going on holiday and I really wanted wedges for the summer anyway! These are actually just from Primark! You can really find some gems there when you're lucky. Since they were from primark they were so cheap for shoes but they work perfectly well for me. Since they are black they also go with a lot of outfits and are just perfect for what I wanted. Although everyone says walking in wedges is easier, I completely disagree! I find these so difficult to walk in compared to for example my nude shoes! What is wrong with me?!

I do own one more pair of heels that just arrived this week but I'm not going to show you because they are my prom shoes! I love them and I so desperately want to show them but I'm keeping the for when I do like my Outfit of the Night for Prom post in June!

So if you want to see those babies ( they really are beautiful) then you should follow my blog ;)

Now leave me a comment telling me about your favourite shoes so we can be all girly and get excited over shoes!

Hope you all have/having/had a fantastic day! All I did was read a book and write this, exciting stuff eh?

Nails of the Week

Hello beautiful people!

I am a complete nail junkie so I change my nail polish pretty frequently like every 3 days tops! This week I changed my nails 4 times which i know is rather a lot but i can't help it!




I started this week with "urban coral" from the Maybelline Color Show 
Its just basically a really nice bright but not too bright coral

I then had quite a change and went to "tomorrow never dies" from the James Bond collection that O.P.I came out with. I cant tell you enough how much I love this nail polish! I genuinely would say it is my favourite and when you have the amount of nail polish I do that is certainly something!

Then I went for this glitter tips ombré type nails, They didn't turn out the way I wanted but I wore them for a day or two anyway! The nude is just a random nail polish from FCUK that I don't know the name of and the glitter is "gold glitter" (inventive right) from Barry M

And Lastly these are my nails now! This is the colour "She's pampered" from Essie's winter collection but in my head this colour works for spring and summer just as well as it did for winter!

Whats your favourite nail polish of the moment? Let me know because I love talking about nails and things!

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend! I sure will because the sun is finally out in Scotland! Wow what?! Sun in Scotland!? YES!
