♥ Outfit/Review of Shoebou Leather Studded Ankle Boots

Review: Shoebou Leather Look Stud Heel Detail Tassle Zip Boot Black

I am really excited to share and outfit post with you guys today, it's been too long! You can check out my other outfit posts here.

This post is also a review for these Shoebou boots, which I've shown before in a "new-in" post here. I was contacted a while ago about doing a review on a pair of shoes from http://www.shoebou.com, and these were my favourites!

I would definitely recommend ordering from Shoebou, the delivery was very quick, they've got all the latest trends in for really affordable prices. Here is a bit of info on them from their website:

"Shoebou is one of the UK’s fastest growing online retailers of women’s fashion shoes at affordable prices. Shoebou provide a wide selection of catwalk inspired and trend led shoes, heels, flats, sandals, wedges and boots with ranges constantly updated."

These boots also come in beige leather, and black suede- for the great price of £22.99.

My outfit:

• Leather Jacket: ZARA Trafaluc
• Cream Knitted Jumper: Forever 21
• Jeans: Dororthy Perkins
• Shoes: Shoebou.com
• Lipstick: Calvin Klein

My thoughts on the boots;
I am really happy with my choice and I definitely think these are perfect everyday boots. The heels are not too tall, nor to short and they are very comfortable to walk in. Even though the heel is twice as tall as these brown boots, they feel just as comfortable.

What do you think of this outfit &

 the shoes?

♥ Valentines Makeup Series Pt.2 Smokey Pink

Valentines Makeup Series Pt.2 Smokey Pink

Here is my second Valentines look. My first one was yesterday and it was a golden smokey makeup with red lips, see it here.

For this look I wanted a pink theme rather than red, and decided to go for pink eyes with a neutral lip.

The eyeshadows I used were:

• Pink from MUA glitterbomb on my lid
• Pink from my ELF palette on my lid
• Shimmer black from my MUA Glitterbomb palette
• Eyeliner from COMPANY
• Loreal Telescopic Mascara

Which look do you prefer, this one or yesterday's one?

& have you done a Valentines makeup look?

♥ Hooded Eyes Makeup Tips: The Arrow Eyeliner

Hooded Eyes Makeup Tips: The Arrow Eyeliner

You might or might not have noticed that I have hooded eyes, this is something I didn't really realise or pay attention to before I started to get more and more interested in makeup. If you are interested in makeup, either as a hobby or profession it is a good idea to figure out what your eye shape is. Otherwise you might struggle time after time to try to re create a pretty eye makeup look you've seen, wondering why yours will never look the same? Well, it's because you probably don't have the same eye shape as that person.

What are hooded eyes?
Hooded eyes mean that when looking straight at my face, or if I take a picture at a straight angle (something I avoid), my eyelid won't really be visible, as the skin above my crease "falls down" and covers my lid. This can be pretty annoying and quite a pain when you are working with eyeshadows. If I was to create a look with a yellow eyelid colour, and black above my crease, when looking straight at me- you would not see the yellow!

Check out this picture of me with no makeup on, to see exactly what I mean. Also notice that m right eye (left in the pic), is more hooded than the left one. 

 Hooded eyes also means that if drawing a straight, nice looking eyeliner flick, when looking straight at your eyes- half of the flick disappears and it just looks odd. I decided to try something I've heard of- the arrow eyeliner. I figured I could find a way to actually create the illusion of a straight eyeliner even on my hooded eyes- and it worked!
See this GIF for a mini tutorial. Bare in mind it was my first time trying this. I outlined my wing, making it thicker than usual, but not connecting the two ends, making the top part non parallel to the line on your upper lash line.
This will create the illusion of a straight line when you look straight at your hooded eyes.

Also, see this mini collage, with iPhone pics. I used my iPhone only because the front camera made it easy to show how strange the liner looks if looking at it underneath, then gradually shows the results from when looking straight at the eye.


Of course, anyone can try this type of eyeliner, but I find it particularly helpful for us with hooded eyes.

Have you got hooded eyes & 

have you tried an arrow eyeliner?

♥ Valentines Makeup Series Pt. 1 Luscious Red Lips

Valentines Makeup Series Pt. 1

I will be doing a min Valentines makeup series for a few days. It will probably be 3-4 posts and this is the first one. 

For my lips, I used MUA shade 3 (click for review) and 2true red lip gloss on top. I think this was a great combo, I didn't use a lip liner or concealer around my lips or anything like that. All I did was use a lip brush to give a more defined look. Best of all, as you know, the MUA lipstick is onyl £1 and the 2true lip gloss is £2 or £3. 

For my eyes, I used my Victoria Jackson palette, COMPANY liquid eyeliner, INIKA soft organic eyeliner pencil and Viva La Diva eyebrow pencil.

How do you like my 1st Valentines look?

♥ January Empties

January Empties Post

These are definitely all from January, of course, but I finished these all 2-1 months ago. I actually have more empties but I didn't want to put to many in the same post. In this post I've got some hair staples, #bbloggersxmas goodies & Body Shop haul products.

1. Tresemme Naturals Vibrantly Smooth Conditioner & Tresemme Naturals  Nourishing Moisture Conditioner: My staple. This is a perfect detangler but probably mentioned one too many times in my blog. Read review here. 

2. DHC Deep Cleansing Oil: I absolutely love this. I got it from the #bbloggersxmas goodie bag and even though I love oils, and I sometimes use the Oil Cleansing Method- I didn't have high hopes for this as I assumed it might contain mineral oil or just be like a normal oil. However, since it is water soluble it makes it the perfect face cleanser and totally worth buying. See review here

3. BodyShop Watermelon Body Lotion: A great everyday body lotion. It contains nice ingredients and is very light weights. I bought it when it was on sale for £2 and it was a part of my big BodyShop Haul, see here. It smells aa-mazing!

4. BodyShop Cucumber Freshening Water (face toner): This stuff is actually amazing actually. If I don't remember it wrong, it contains Rose Water which is a great natural ingredient. It also smells nice. See this in my Bodyshop Haul post or in my current skin regime post.

5. BodyShop Hemp Moisture High Balm: Although this stuff doesn't smell very nice, you might know that I love the BodyShop hemp product range. Hemp is very beneficial for dry or senstive skin and I would say that this is an allround balm or a natural vaseline type of product. See in an old Bodyshop haul post here.

6. Beauty Formulas Tea Trea Deep Nourishing Conditioner: My favourite cheap conditioner after the Tresemme one. I was so happy to find this at Poundland for £1, but when I went to repurchase they weren't selling it anymore. However, I just found it at my local Pharmacy and stocked up!  See review here.

7 The Bodyshop Chocomania Dry Oil (*) : Another product from my massive Bodyshop haul. I absolutely love this. To start with, all the BS dry oils smell amazing. They are really light weight and I think they are perfect to use after showering to lock in moisture. See review here.

8. The BodyShop Warming Mineral Mask: This is one of my oldest products, I think its a bit over a year, in other words expired. I didn't finish exactly all of this, not because I didn't like it- I probably just had another face maks to use. This really works in it is warming on the skin, this gives my skin a sort of itchy feeling when it is on, and the formula is pretty thick. See it in a post here.

Have you tried any of these products?

♥ Witch Anti Blemish Skin Clearing Primer Review

 Witch Anti Blemish Skin Clearing Primer Review

Description on Witch's website: "Witch Anti-blemish Skin Clearing Primer is designed to help prepare your skin for foundation by mattifying and absorbing excess oils, providing a smooth, silky base that helps you achieve an even and long lasting finish with any foundation or powder."

 This is actually the first face primer I've used. As I don't wear foundation daily and most primers are targeted for use with foundation, I've never really seen the point in buying a primer. However, after trying this (without) foundation I discovered that it was great to use on its own too!

After browsing a bit more on the website I read that they do actually say that it is good for use on its own as well: "Our Anti-blemish Skin Clearing Primer can also be used on its own giving a matte even complexion – perfect for men too, and for using in the summe"

Results?
Except for being perfect for use on its own, there was another thing that positively surprised me about this. It was the fact that it definitely serves as a moisturiser as well and I think that for a silicone based primer like this, that is pretty good! So you can definitely wash your face, and then apply this instead of a moisturiser. Even though it's mattifying, I wouldn't describe the finish at matte, it is just rather.. smooth. It definitely takes away any excess oils and leaves you with a great base for makeup.

Ingredients?
I think the ingredient list was on the packaging that this came with. And since it is a silicone based primer that was of course on of the top ingredients. In addition to that, it contains some supposedly skin clearing ingredients, described on their website:

"Anti-blemish Skin Clearing Primer is formulated with the following key ingredients: || Pure witch hazel extract: provides natural astringency, balancing the skin || Antibacterial actives: help prevent blemishes and breakout || Liquorice root extract: calms the skin || Glycerin and Provitamin B5: condition and hydrate skin || Silicone polymer: absorbs excess oils and mattifies the skin || "

Summary?
Since it is a pretty good moisturiser and leaves you with a super smooth, oil free base for makeup. I recommend this for the days when you don't wear foundation. I don't use foundation and the only problem with that is that powder based products like bronzer and blusher might not "stick" as well to your face. Which makes sense, as I would never apply a powder eyeshadow without a primer. Then again, it might make your foundation last longer so I would definitely try that on an occasion where I am wearing foundation and I want it to really stay on.

Have you tried this primer?

If not, which one is your favourite face primer & do you think face primers are necessary?

Fashion Collage: The Turtleneck Crop Top

I am sure I am not the only one to be really sick of the winter right now. Today, it isn't raining or snowing- there is a freaking tornado (okey the weather is a bit more windy than usually). Anyway, I need to start sharing my fashion collages again so here you go.

I know this is far from a new trend, but I really love all of these, just haven't got around to buying one. When the summer comes I will definitely be stocking up on these :)

♥ Pretty Purple Eyes

Pretty Purple Eyes

Here is a little Sneak Peek of an upcoming whole FOTD look I will be posting very soon. I definitely wanted to use some shades I don't usually use, and I think it came out quite pretty.

How to get this eye makeup?

• Use a shimmery white/light shadow on your eyelid
• Use a nude transitioning shade to blend out the light shade and bring it up towards your brow
• Apply a plum shade in your crease/outer V and blend.
• In the outer corner of your eye, apply a "dot" of a very dark purple shade for definition, and blend out.
• Apply eyeliner & liquid eyeliner!

♥ My Pink Lipsticks

Lipstick Collection; My pink lipsticks

I got the idea for this post after seeing a few "my lipstick collection post". With all of them, I though wow that is a big collections, but was then shocked to read "so yeah these were only my reds". What I am trying to say is that compared to a lot of bbloggers, my collection is not big. 

I don't like having duplicates and as you can see these are all very different shades of pink (except for the two nudes).

Therefore I decided to show me my favourites shades- the pinks! I wear one of these almost daily and I love all of these different shades.

< || Calvin Klein Nude Pink Lipstick || Natural Collections Nude Pink Lipstick || NYC Coral/Pink Shimmery Lipstick || Tom Ford Violet Fatale Lipstick || NYC Shade 405 "Blue Rose" Lipstick || MUA Shade 1 Bright Pink Lipstick || Sleek Pout Paint Shade Mauve Over || >

♥ Di Palomo Enriching Hand & Nail Cream

Di Palomo White Grape & Aloe Enriching Hand & Nail Cream

Here is another product from the #bbloggersxmas event. It's quite small with 25 ml/0.8fl.oz. of product, but I just thought it made a perfect hand cream for my hand bag /makeup bag. I hadn't heard anything about the brand before but I was very happy with the results.

This products is pretty fragranced so if you have got sensitive skin or just don't like strong fragrances you might want to stay away from this. However I think this smells really nice.

The formula is non greasy, of medium thickness and feels very nourishing! Top ingredients are Grape Seed Oil with Aloe Vera leaf extract in the middle of the ingredient list. I am definitely happy with this as the ingredients are fairly natural and will turn your dry hands very soft!

Ingredient Check:

• Mineral Oil (/)
• Silicones (x)
• Parabens (/)
• Butylene/Propylene Glycol (/)

Get the full size 75ml product from Feel Unique for £6.30.

Have you tried this or anything else from

Di Palomo?

Shoebou Leather Look Stud Heel Detail Tassle Zip Boot Black

My fashion post have been fewer and fewer lately and I suppose I have turned in to a beauty blogger, however- that was not my aim when I created my blog, and if you check out my tab in the menu above called "Fashion" you can check out my Outfits & Trend Collages.

Anyway, I was contacted about reviewing a pair of shoes/boots of my choice from www.shoebou.com and choose these. I am really happy with them as I didn't have any black boots nor heels like these.

♥ DIY Bentonite Clay, Green Tea & Argan Oil Face Mask

DIY Bentonite Clay, Green Tea & Argan Oil Mud Face Mask

Today I have got an exciting DIY to share with you. I've had this Bentonite Clay lying around for quite some time but after a few failed attempts at using it, I just put it aside. I should probably mention that my failed attempts were most likely due to be mixing the bentonite clay with a metal spoon which is the only thing you shouldn't do because it reacts with the clay which has some kind of electrical charge (lol not sure how that works, google it). 

The most common brand of Bentonite Clay is the Indian Healing Clay which I think is available at stores like Whole foods or online on sites like Amazon. Common uses are:

• As an internal detox (sounds scary though)
• As a mud face masked by mixing Bentonite Clay & Water, and sometimes Apple Cider Vinegar
• As a hair clarifier by using the same recipe as above

 Bentonite Clay in your face is meant to draw all impurities and toxins out of the skin. I got the idea of mixing it with Green Tea after trying out the GlamGlow Youth Mud Mask which contains Green Tea leaves & Green Tea extracts. So I decided to give this clay another try.

Here is my Bentonite Clay, Green Tea & Argan Oil Mud Face Mask Recipe:

• A bowl of water
• Two Green Tea Bags
• A wooden spoon to stir (or anything which is Not metal)
• Bentonite Clay
• An oil/essential Oil, I used Argan Oil

How to?

1.  Add water to a bowl (optional: add 1/4 ACV* to the water, use Rose Water, Use Aloe Vera Juice) || Add a bag of Green Tea and let it brew for a few minutes || Add a few drops of the oil of your choice, I used Argan Oil
2. Pour the leaves of one Green Tea Bag into your mix
3. Stir it with anything that isn't made of metal
4. Add the Bentonite Clay until the mixture has the consistency you want it to have

This is what mine looked like!

My thoughts on this? 

The first time I tried mixing a Bentonite Clay face mask I felt like the clay didn't properly mix with the water, but as I said above- this could be because I used a metal spoon. This time it definitely mixed, but I am guessing it mixes better with the mix if you do Not put oils in your mix. My mix took ages too hardened, I think it was because it wasn't mixed too well nor distributed too well in my face and I also put quite a thick layer in my face. Next time I might try putting a bit more water in my mix.

Results?

Oh my god. Results definitely exceeded my expectations. I knew that your face could get a little bit red from using this, but due to my mud mask taking long to harden, I left it on for like 30 mins while I was showering. My face was soo red. It didn't hurt or anything but I literally had a line in my face where I was red from the mud mask.

Anyway, surprisingly this just left my face suuuupersoft. Like I exfoliated it, which it didn't really because I didn't have any scrubbing beads in it. Maybe my face was so clean that it just felt soft, either way this i definitely a keeper and I will be using this face mask recipe again!

Have you tried a Bentonite Clay face mask?

♥ Shopping My Stash

Shopping My Stash

 Nivea Pure & Natural Moisturising Day Cream: For a brand like Nivea, with creams and face creams usually packed with mineral oil- this is a great product! The glass jar gives a less cheap feel to the product, and it contains Argan Oil. It absorbs quickly and is very light but yet  moisturises your skin. I just haven't finished it because I got way too many face moisturisers lately.

St Ives Sensitive Skin Apricot Scrub Gentle: This is another great affordable product. Even though it's gentle, it definitely has enough of exfoliating beads for a great scrub, leaving your skin soft! The beads are walnut shell powder and it doesn't contain sulfates which is a plus!

Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream with Vitamin E: This is a completely natural product with the top ingredients Glycerine, Olive Oil, Oat Kernel Flour & Lanolin. So as you can see it is not water based. It is not a cream, but more like a salve or pomade and works best as an over night treatment as it is very thick and sticky.

The cream puff from Collection 2000 is a great product, you can see my review here. The Lavera cream is all natural and has got SPF 15, but due to the Zinc Oxide it's very white and leaves your face with a white film. Love the fully organic NYR eyeliner but I'm just too bad at using up an expensive product like this- don't wanna waste it.

Do you have any products you like

 but never got around to finish?

♥ Intense Cat Liner & Dramatic Lashes

Intense Cat Liner & Dramatic Lashes

All the products I used are in a picture at the end of this post

For today's makeup look I am wearing an intense eye liner, a defined crease and a contoured and glowing face! This is definitely a going out look because I am wearing foundation, concealer and everything as well as a lot of eyeshadows & eyeliner.

To make this a day time look- skip the heavy base of foundation and concealer for a normal moisturiser or bb cream. Wear no eyeshadow or neutral shades as opposed to this sparkly heavy eyeshadow.

How to do the eyes?

• Apply a neutral eyeshadow to your lid
• Use a black eyeliner to draw a line on or slightly above your crease
• Blend the black line out with a thing detailer brush
• Apply brown shadow above your crease and bottom lash line
• Mix NYC primer & highlighter (or just use a concealer) on your lid.
• Apply a loose sparkly eyeshadow or pigment to your eye lid.
• Using a liquid eye liner, line your eyes starting at the inner corner of your eye with a flick outside of the tear duct. Line all the way out to the wing and start to line your lower lash line (not your water line).
• Wait a few minutes for the liquid liner to dry. Now with a pencil eyeliner, go over the liner on the bottom lash line making it more smudged and intense, line your waterline and tighline if you wish.
• Use false lashes or your normal mascara and lash fibres like the Magnifibre Brush on Lashes

How to do the base?

• Apply a primer to a clean and moisturised face, wait for it to get absorbed to your skin.
• Using a foundation brush, apply your foundation all over your face (I blended some of my sparkly loose eyeshadow to my foundation for a glowing look)
• Clean up and brighten your under eye using a concealer
• Using a contouring shade, apply quite a lot on to a medium sized brush or a contouring brush and draw a "line" along the hollows of your cheeks- blend this out a lot to avoid a harsh line.
• Contour the sides of your forehead
• Use a highlighter on the apples of your cheeks

How to do the lips?

• Start off with moisturised and non chapped lips
• For an even neater effect, you can use a lip pencil, I didn't do this
• Apply some concealer around your mouth and cupids bow
• Apply highlighter to your cupids bow
• Apply your lipstick using a thiner lip brush
• I used Calvin Klein lipstick

Here are all the products I used, some of the products are linked if I have previously mentioned or reviewed them. So click on them to see the review :)

♥ January Makeup Wish List

January Makeup Wish list

Collage by me. Pics from Google, Sleek.co.uk, Harrods.co.uk & Inglot.com

1. Glam Glow Youth Mud Mask: You might have read my review on this here, but that was just a sample- and I'd love to buy "the real thing" :) However, I'm guessing it's quite pricey so I might just make a DIY version myself, and show it on my blog.

2. Chanel Les Four Ombres Quadra Eyeshadow Raffinement: I am not a high end girl, but the purple shade in this just caught my eyes. How gorgeous is this?! I could imagine creating loads of nice looks with the shades in this.

3. Sleek Face Form Contouring Kit: Saw this in a blog and I knew I had to get this, at some point. You might have heard me raving on about a rose gold blush from ELF, the only blush I ever use and like. So the blush along with a contouring & highlighting shade is just too perfect! Love it.

4 INGLOT Round Eyeshadow Palette: The more I experience with makeup looks the more I crave some high quality but affordable eyeshadows. I have a 5 shadow freedom palette from INGLOT already and would love one of these round shadow palettes- & the shades in this picture are gorgeous!

5. YSL Rouge Pur Couture The Mats: Lipstick shade 204 Rouge Scandal. Again I am not a high end girl but this packaging is gorgeous and so is the shade! I've really been looking for a dark red lipstick lately.

See my other wish lists here.

Do you own any of these products?

& What's on your current wish list?

♥ Transitioning Diaries Pt. 8: Transitioning to natural hair style tutorial

Transitioning to natural hair tutorial, 8/9 months post relaxer

I thought I would share a quick and easy tutorial on how I've been wearing my hair lately- a great style for transitioning or natural hair. The reason I haven't posted many transitioning to natural hair styles is because I don't really know many. You might recognise the picture above from my "FOTD: Pink, Turquoise and Flat twist".

Anyway, as you might have understood I don't really wear a lot of different styles now that I am growing out my natural hair, because I just don't know how to. I learned how to twist natural hair a while ago, but I'm not good at it, now I've (almost) learnt how to flat twist, but only a big one as the one in the pic below. And it's not very neat lol.

If you don't know how to flat twist I suggest you go on to youtube and watch a few tutorials. That's how I learned and I just hope as I keep practising I will get better at it lol.

What hair styles do you suggest for natural/transitioning hair?
