I enjoyed looking at their website and seeing the diverse range of products.

You Ready For It??? -My Makeup Collection!

Ok, so I still havent foun d MY camera, so im using my parents one, it isn’t great, but its better than my ipod or blackberry camera atleast. I personally reading makeup collections posts and videos so I though id do mine. DISCLAIMER: I am in no shape or form bragging about my makeup, I just find these posts interesting to read. I am very grateful for what I have and  have bought everything you see with my own money unless it’s a gift.

So now with the collection! Heres a full veiw of what my storage system looks like. I have clear plastic draws and every draw has 2 pink baskets in to organise my items better (apart from the top draw of each unit). I havent showed everything in their baskets as you cant see all the products sometimes as they are on top of eachother. Im not going to name everything aswell, as i cant remember all the names- I will name most of the products though.This storage thing of makeup, sits nicely on my desh next to my purfumes and lamp (if your interested in a purfume collection comment below). I keep my brushes on top of my storage, and and have some brushes in a brush belt under my naked palette. I also have a pink basket filled with random tools, leaflets and samples, here a picture.This pictures not very good, but the basket mainly contains: spare sponges, a victoria jackson makeup how-to booklet, my eyelash curlers, some samples, a colour wheel, leaflets and an empty mac concealer (for back to mac).

Here’s how i organise my brushes. As mensioned earlier I have a few more brushes in my brush belt but, I dont use them very often. These are the brushes I use the most. My collection mainly consists of: elf, ecotools, superdrug and no 7 brushes. I also have 2 pairs of tweezers here which I think both came from superdrug – Ive had them for about 2 years so I cant remember fully. I also think its a good idea to have a wash cloth on yout storage unit as you can wipe your brushes on it.

Everyday Neutral Eye Look

Ok, so today I am going to show you what I usually do when I want a neutral everyday eye look. I dont always use the same eyeshadows, I just used Urban Decay eyeshadows (mostly)  as they are widely available, if by any chance you’d like to re-create the look.

So lets get started!

First, start of with priming your eyes. Not everyone needs to do this step but I would as it keeps the eyeshadows looking more vibrant and increases the staying power of them. I use Too Faced Shadow Insurance.

Next apply your lid colour, I’m using ‘midnight cowboy’ for this. Midnight cowboy is a gold with silver glitter in it. I am using the elf professional eye shadow brush – any flat shader brush will do.Next I apply a colour to my crease. I am using ‘stray dog’ by Urban Decay in my crease (a brown with a satin finish and silver undertones). I use a No7 Blend & Contour brush for this- Any dome shaped shadow brush would work for this.

I then blend the shadow out with an ecotools blending brush, I then add a bit of ‘oil slick’ eyeshadow by Urban Decay (a shimmery black) in the outer ‘v’ of my eye, and once again blend, blend, blend!

I then apply liquid liner to my top lash line (trying to get a neat, small line as close to the lashes as possible), I use the L’oreal super liner luminizer (green eyes version), I avoid putting the eyeliner in the inner third of my eye.I then apply some pencil black eyeliner to the out half of my bottom lash line. I use elf’s Brightening eyeliner in Black.

I then curl my lashes, and apply 2 coats of black mascara. I use Maybellines Volume express lift-up mascara in black.

The next step is optional. I apply a white eyeliner to my waterline and also to my inner corner. I use avons colortrend eyeliner in white. I also apply Mac’s Brule eyeshadow as a highlight underneath my brow. Thats my finished tutorial you guys! If you want to add a pop of colour to the look, you could apply a bright coloured eyeshadow to the lower lash line. I did not put any eyeshadow there for this reason, but you don’t have to, its just an option….

Thank you for reading,

XOXO
