Purple Smoke With By Terry

Hey Ladies,

For the past few weeks I have been doing the same makeup look...almost everyday. I bought the highly talked about By Terry Ombre Black Star in Misty Rock back in February and have been getting on famously ever since. At €30 its a steep spend for just an eye shadow stick but it is literally the most gorgeous thing I've ever laid my beady eyes on.

Even those who are eye shadow challenged will be able to master this beauty, simply twist it up and pop it all over the lid and either blend it out with a finger or with a blending brush. I find this fades to a soft brown shade around the edges so its not necessary to add any more shadows with it but you can if you want! Once it's on its sets so you don't have to worry about creasing, although if you do have an exceptionally oily eye lid I would recommend a primer before hand.

So I did a little tutorial using this shadow so you could see it in action:

So would I spend another €30 quid for a different colour from the collection? Definitely! My sister also picked up the same shade and gets great use out of hers! So let me know would you spend that much on an eye shadow pencil? Or do you have any dupes from a budget brand I should know about?

My Beauty Bucket List!

Hey Ladies,

So let's talk about bucket lists.

Every now and again I like to sit down and have a look at my bucket list, add things on and tick things off. And then I had an idea... What would be on my Beauty Bucket spendy I know exactly what to spend my hard earned money on.
List? All those products that I yearn after but can never justify to spend that much money on or simply don't need. What harm would it do to sit down and write out a list so when I am feeling particularly

Does anyone else have this problem.....when you have loads of money to burn and you see nothing you want and then the flip side when you haven't a bean to your name and you see all of these wonderful things that you would sell your soul to buy. Yeah same.

It's The Start Of Something New....

Hey Ladies,

I know what your thinking why am I posting on a Saturday night and more importantly why am I quoting a High School Musical song and that's because... my first YouTube video has just gone live EEKKK! I have wanted to really dive into making YouTube videos for some time now but I was always quite hesitant. By nature I'm an extremely anxious person and I am constantly thinking "Oh god, what will people think of me". But since the end of last year I have just changed my mentality complete and to be honest now.... I really don't care what people think and I am going to do things for me. Of course there is always the fear of falling flat on my face but you'll never know until you try and this for me is a new beginning.

And what a better way to get cracking than to start off with a haul! These are all the bits and bobs that I have collected over the last month or so and I have kept them to one side so I could sit down and have a really good play with everything. So here's a few snaps of everything including swatches etc. I will leave you with a list of all the stuff mentioned below in case something catches your eye. I may have missed out on one or two items but don't worry you will see them in upcoming blog posts!
