GETTING TO KNOW: SMASHBOX.

Smashbox Cosmetics...

£35 from Online store - http://www.smashbox.co.uk
I have never owned any Smashbox makeup before, and after using other people's and seeing reviews, I have finally been able to buy my own. I'm not going to lie, these products are quite pricey , (and I did have to save up for them) but its good to try high and lower-end brand's to work out if they are worth your wage.

The first thing I was told about was their new contour kit - including a contour, bronzer, and highlighting colour.


Inside the packaging (and on the mirror of the contour palette)there is instructions on how to apply it due to your different face shape, which is really useful if you aren't used to contouring. The Palette also comes with a small angled brush which is the perfect size , and doesn't pick up too much makeup; allowing you to build up the layers of colour to best suit your skin-tone.


£20 from online store - http://www.smashbox.co.uk

The second thing I got was the Brow Tech To Go - crayon and gel. I have tried this before , and personally found it much easier to use than the No7 eyebrow pencil I had before. It is so precise, and you never have the problem of sharpening it ; the gel on the other end is an added bonus to keep the stray hairs in place. I would 100% recommend this, and I will definitely be re-purchasing. The only down-side to this product, is the fact that the crayon side can be used up very quickly - so If you don't have enough money to replace it , it needs to be used sparingly. 

 Hope this helps!

GROWING FLOWERS ON MY FACE?!

SPECKLED LILAC SPARKLY FLOWER FACE ? ♡ Ive been growing very bored of doing similar makeup on the day to day , so I have decided to mix it up a bit. Not really sure what this lewk is, but who doesn't love sparkles, flowers and fake freckles ?! HEHEHE  None of the products I use are particularly expensive because - a) I'm young and poor & b) Branded and expensive , doesn't necessarily mean better queens! Here are some of the product's I used: Eyes - Superdrug Fantasy Queen of Darkness hair  glitter pot.   Also a shimmery lilac eyeshadow - which is sold out but here's one  similar one. Eyelashes -  Superdrugs own brand  (cut in half so only on the ends). Faux Freckles - I used a mixture of water based face paint for the darker bits and Nyx  liquid white eyeliner. I'm definitely no makeup artist , but hopefully this inspires someone to experiment a little. Let me know what you think ! Mia  ♡

HAPPY PRIDE TO EVERY MEMBER OF THE LGBTQ+ GANG  ! Hope everyone is living a super duper proud life , and loving whoever the hell they want to. Me and Esther had such a good time this year having a boogie around trafalgar square - we joined in with a silent disco, and we got to watch Alyssa Edwards from Drag Race perform like the queen she is! We also managed to find a very lovely group of people to tag along with until the early hours, along with one of my good friends from school. I feel like it's so much easier to make friends, and come across as 'approachable' when your all glittery and covered in rainbows, haha! Here is what we wore for London Pride and what we used to make us SPARKLE.. My Outfit -  (shop the look) Rainbow bandeau (£5) from Boohoo -  CLICK HERE. Acid Debbie Shorts from Dollskill (newly reduced) -  CLICK HERE. Velvet Western Belt from Boohoo -  CLICK HERE. Handmade rainbow Earrings from NoBasicBombshell -  CLICK ...

RUN BOY RUN: Eyeshadow palette by Makeup Revolution.  Perfect for the bargain hunters! ♡ (Shade names from left to right, starting at the top row: Trying to catch you, Running is victory, Sun will be guiding you, Day is a prophesy, Another Day, Its time to run. World is not meant for you, Hide behind me, Dying to stop you, Break out from society, Dont have to hide away, You will be my boy. Follow me, Head to the hills, Run boy Run, Girl on fire, You are finally mine, and Head start.) Packaging: After contemplating between three of the available limited edition palette's, I settled for this one called RUN BOY RUN (which is the name of one of the shades inside). It is one of the first palette's they had which combines both shimmer and matte - 12 shimmer, and 6 matte. Despite having to apply a lot more of the colour itself onto the eyelid to create the same effect as a higher quality eyeshadow - you are getting 18 unique shades ( all super pigmented) for a barg...
