Sleek purple eye look

With my usual eye looks I tend to stay safe and do boring neutral looks as I know my browns and golds will never fail me.

So last night I decided to brave a purple eye and to my and I'm sure your surprise I was actually pleased with how it turned out.

I carried out my usual makeup routine (let me know if you want a blog post on that?!) before priming my eyes with my urban decay eye primer. Then taking my Sleek 594 eye palette I applied the lightest pink to the inner area of my eye and built it up to achieve a bolder colour.

From the same palette, I patted on the darkest pink colour to the middle of my lid using a flat square eye brush, again building the colour up. This shade is really gorgeous! Perhaps a dupe for MAC cranberry.

Again from the Sleek palette, and the same brush as the pink, I took the purple shade to my outer corner and slightly through the crease. Now for me, this shade wasn't as intense as I was hoping so I found my Becca Jewel Dust in the shade Mazikeen. I'd never used this pigment before so now was the perfect opportunity. You only need the smallest amount on your brush to create a really bold, bright look. I applied it over the top of the purple colour and again through the crease.

To finish off I took my blending brush and blended the whole eye look to get rid of any sharp edges. Then, taking a small brush I applied my sleek highlighter from the contour kit to the inner corner of my eye and my brow bone.

I LOVED this look! Don't be scared of purples again!

MAC lipstick dupes

So recently I finally gave in and purchased MAC's ever so famous Russian Red lipstick. As I had ever so high expectations of this product my excitement levels were at an all time high after purchasing it.. (Especially since it was with a gift card and not my own money!)

So off we went ready to start our new romance together. OBVIOUSLY, the first thing I did when we arrived home was try out Russian Red to see if it lived up to the hype.. And it definitely did! My teeth looked glistening white and my confidence was through the roof.

Anyway, back to the point of this blog post. As I was putting the lipstick in my makeup storage I noticed that I already had a red lipstick that was almost identical to MAC's Russian Red. Loreal number 461 to be precise.

To see if my suspicions were right I tried both on to see if they looked the same on the lips.. And they really did.

MAC lipsticks sell for around £15 whereas Loreal sell for about £8! So if you're looking for a great
dupe for MAC's Russian Red, definitely check out Loreal's 461 for a fraction of the price!

Hey my lovelies.

I just wanted to come back and apologise for my absence recently, my life has been a whirlwind of occurrences these past few months.

Firstly, I passed my A-Levels that I studied hard for with 3 B's. I was over the moon as it meant I gained my place at university.

before result night celebrations took over!

Moving to university was an adventure in itself as you can all probably guess or even relate to. So I hope you can all forgive me for my absence and welcome me back.

So to conclude, after the busy period in my life, I can promise you that I am back for good!
