theBalm Cosmetics Full Face Makeup Look

The theme is definitely in the title. This is a full face of makeup using one brand, theBalm Cosmetics.

I did a post a little while ago about their newest releases here. It’s only fair that these make an appearance in the video, as well as some well known products too.

This is my first time really delving into theBalm Cosmetics like this. I am definitely only a dabbler in the brand. All that I had tried though I did enjoy. Especially Mary-Lou and their ‘Put A Lid on It’ eyeshadow primer. (I reviewed this here ages ago too).

I was lucky enough to get sent these products from theBalm Cosmetics to test out, so most of them are new to me, so you will be getting my first impressions on them too. As always I’ll list everything below, with a link to where you can get them:

Timebalm Primer. Available from Debenhams here. theBalm PR told me this has really similar ingredients to their eyeshadow primer so I used this on my lids too.
Even Steven Foundation in light. Available here.
Brow Pow in light and dark brown. Available here.
Foiled Again Eyeshadow Palette. (Only available in store from Debenhams at the minute).
Schwing Liquid Liner. Available here.
Mad Lash Mascara. Available here.
Sexy Mama Translucent Powder. Available here.
Bahama Mama Bronzing Powder. Available here.
Girls’ getaway Trio. Available here.
Mary-Lou Manizer Highlighter. Available here.
Bonnie-Lou Manizer. (Only available in store from Debenhams right now).

The look I ended up creating was similar to a look I shared on social media a couple of weeks ago that went down quite well. So I thought I would recreate it using all theBalm Cosmetics products. (I had just used the Foiled Again Palette initially).

I am really happy overall with how all the products performed. On first impressions, I will definitely use all of them again. I’ll keep you posted about how I get on.

Brown Smoky Eye Get Ready With Me

I do love a good get ready with me video 🙂 This time I’m doing a really simple brown smoky eye.

I used some of the new products that I hauled here not too long ago. And I actually I think I hauled some of them here too. I have been hauling a bit over the past while. I reckon it’s the change in temperature that makes me spendy. That’s my excuse and I am sticking to it 🙂

I was heading out, so wanted a decent face of makeup on but still wanted to keep it simple. When in doubt, I tend to taupe it out. A brown smoky eye is kind of my safety blanket. There’s a few old reliable favourites within the mix, but for the most part I used some new out and new to me products.

So let’s get listing:

Elf Mineral Infused Face Primer. More info here. I bloody forgot to put it in the product shot here like a dope. It’s the first primer I use though, yes I used two!
Benefit Porefessional. More info here.
Eylure X Fleur De Force Brow Define. More info here.
Freedom Brow Duo. More info here.
Rimmel Lasting Finish Concealer. More info here.
Benefit 3D Browtones. More info here.
Urban Decay Primer Potion. More info here.
Zoeva Cocoa Blend Eyeshadow Palette. More info here.
Chanel 268 eyeshadow quad. More info here.
Mac eye kohl in Costa Riche.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil in Torch.
Catrice Glam & Doll Waterproof Mascara.
Mac Extended Play Mascara. More info here.
Tarte Shape Tape Concealer. More info here.
Duo Latex Free glue. More info here.
Half Lashes (from Ebay).
Barry M Liquid Chrome Highlighter in At First Sight. More info here.
Rimmel Insta Fix & Matte. More info here.
Kat Von D Lock It Powder in Petal. More info here.
Elf Finishing Powder in medium as bronzer. More info here.
Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso. More info here.

Mac Spice lip liner. More info here. More info here.
Lancome Matte Shaker. More info here.
L’Oréal Infallible Fixing Mist. More info here.

Phew, that’s a lot of product I know, but I swear the video is short 🙂 You can click above to watch it or as always head to my YouTube channel here.

And that’s my easy brown smoky eye. I promise it’s easy! Let me know what you think.

Rose Gold Sparkle Eye Makeup Look

It’s been a minute since I did a makeup look on my YouTube channel. I always call them looks rather than tutorials. I feel like the word tutorial is more professional, and I am definitely not that. In makeup or video form 🙂 I created this rose gold sparkle eye makeup look a couple of weeks ago and snapped an Instagram of it.

I was super happy with how it turned out and I got some good interaction on social media from it. So, I thought I would recreate it in video form. To show you what I used, how I did it. And, just how simple it was.

The main components of this rose gold sparkle makeup look is my beloved Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette. I am so sorry, I have literally not shut up about this palette, I know. But I have just been enjoying using it so bloody much. And, I have to stay true to what I used on the day, right? I have a review of it here, so I won’t bore you with the details.

The glitter came in the form of the Stila Magnificent Metals Eyeshadow in Rose Gold Retro. I have a post on this here too. I find although this is a cream eyeshadow, I do get fall out. So I used the NYX Glitter Primer underneath. I picked this up in Boots here. Of course any sort of adhesive base would do the job.

These along with the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil in Torch were the main products I used to create the eye look. I got this from Debenhams, but it’s actually cheaper from Feel Unique here.

I also mentioned my lip combo in my Insta post, so I recreated that too. It’s a very ‘me’ combo. Rimmel Eastend Snob lip liner all over the lips, with Mac Syrup lippie over top. Mauve and neutral. My go too lip colour for the past few months.

I totally got bored taking photos of myself 🙂

Obviously you can see create the rose gold glitter makeup look over on my YouTube channel here. Or you can just click on the video above to watch also.

Be sure to let me know what you think!

Thanks for tuning in, as always.

New Makeup GRWM & Life Update!

Forgive me. I thought I would sit down and use some of the new makeup products that have come my way over the past few weeks. Some are PR samples, some were gifts from lovely people and some I bought myself.

Then, I thought I would sit down, play with some new makeup and answer some of your questions. Still OK.

It kind of turned into using new makeup and having a bit of a therapy session though. And as a result, the video is nearly 30 minutes long! It was also a bitch to edit. When I am rambling I say ’em’ so much, it is infuriating!

As a beauty blogger, I don’t delve into my personal life all that much. It’s not really that necessary. You come here for the beauty chats 🙂 I don’t hide it either though. If you follow me on social media, I do dip in and out of life updates.

I use lots of new makeup products in this video. Some I have used before, some are brand new out and some are just new to me. I give you a run down of my impressions and how they apply, as well as talking a lot of shit too 🙂

I have posts already on the Essence Collection here. Also the Tarte Shape Tape aswell here.

There’s some new products from The Body Shop and Catrice being put to the test too.

The makeup ended up being a simple bronzed eye with a pop of colour in the water line and a mauve lip. Very me and I ain’t mad at it 🙂

As always you can click on the video above to watch or go directly to my YouTube channel by clicking here.

If you manage to get to the end, I thank you with all of my heart 🙂

Boyfriend Does My Makeup

I roped John in to do the Boyfriend Does My Makeup challenge! It took a bit of persuading, he was a bit skeptical about being in front of the camera.

After a few beers though, we set up the camera and we jumped in. And I think you’ll agree with me after watching it. He took to it like a duck to water 🙂 I never particularly pride myself on being great in front of the camera, I just do it because I enjoy it. He’s so bloody quick and funny, he puts me to shame really 🙂

It took us an age to begin though because he couldn’t get used to the ring light at all. So if you hear him complaining about the light, that’s what he is on about!

If you’re not an avid YouTube watcher like myself. The Boyfriend Does My Makeup challenge is basically an umbrella term for your partner chancing their arm with your makeup. Myself and John are together over thirteen years, so calling him my ‘boyfriend’ is a bit strange. He’s just John to me now ha!

He tries to think he knows a thing or two about makeup. And to give him credit, he does listen to me harp on. (Notice the Anastasia Subculture reference he makes). I don’t think he realised just how hard it is to apply it all, and how much time and effort goes into it all. I reckon he won’t badger me so much now when I’m running late for a night out 🙂

I won’t name the products he uses, sure none of them went on right ha. But if you want to see me put the Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette to proper use, I have a post on it here.

If you want to watch the video, just click on it above, or you watch it directly on YouTube here. Big shout out to John for being a great sport. My sides were sore from laughing. I hope you get a laugh from it too 🙂

Urban Decay Naked Heat Makeup Look

I’ve already swatched it here. Now, it’s time for an Urban Decay Naked Heat Makeup Look. Don’t get too excited if you like crazy fun makeup. This is my version of a wearable and easy tutorial, (if you can call it that) with the palette.

Products used on the eyes:

theBalm Put A Lid On it eyeshadow primer. (Review here).
Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette. (Swatches here).
H&M Raw Umber Eyeliner Pencil. On their website here.
Kat Von D Lock It Concealer. (Review here).
Penneys Eyelash Curlers.
Catrice Glam & Doll Waterproof Mascara. (Review here).
Inglot Gel Liner in number 69. On the Inglot website here.
Mac Extended Play Lash Waterproof Mascara. (Review here).

I didn’t think I would be as into this palette as I am. I have alot of similar shades in my collection already. They are used, them but not super often. Having them in one handy place, I think makes you reach for things more though. Playing with makeup is a big part of my life, but I can get a bit lazy. Makeup ruts are real people 🙂

When you’re writing a post about a makeup product and you’re day dreaming about how you are going to apply it the next time, I think that’s a sign it’s a hit!

There’s a good mixture of shades and finishes within the palette to keep things interesting, for a while at least.

Did you take the plunge and pick it up? Are you a red tone eyeshadow fan? I never thought I would be. I never thought they would suit my colouring. But, I have definitely been proven wrong 🙂
