LOOK Beauty Haul!

LOOK Beauty is a cosmetic brand launched by LOOK magazine (UK based but I do think they ship internationally, if you're interested) and as you are aware I find LOOK's makeup a bit hit & miss. I LOVE the Flirty Flick Eyeliner (it's my Holy Grail. Yes. I did just say that.) and I love the 3 Mono Eyeshadows I own but I really disliked the foundation. So, When I saw they had a little half price, offer on sale type thing (Which I did post a link too on my Facebook page so make sure to click the like button in my sidebar to keep updated! >>) I had to grab a few more bits to try!

So let's start off with the mono shadows: I got the colours Gilet, Jewel & Couture.
The Shadows in their cute see through packaging :)
Gilet isn't as strong as I would like but in a way that's good as it makes for a nice crease blending colour, Couture is a nice purple but not as Bright as I would've liked it to be... :/
Jewel is a nice bright colour that can build well. All of these colours are matte and I am quite fond of them. I actually used all 3 of these shadows in my 80s Inspired LOTD (you can see here:http://tinyurl.com/n2a5qpd). I used Jewel as the base eye colour, Couture as the under liner and Gilet through the crease :)
Overall for £2 each they're not bad, would I pay the regular £4? I think if I had I may have been a tad disappointed :/ Overall: C+

My 80s Inspired LOTD back in August :)
Next up I bought 3 mini makeover palettes, Baby Blue Eyes, Rock Chick and Brown Eyed Girl.

Let's start with Brown Eyed Girl (BEG):
This was the first palette I added to my basket, it's cute and comes with 8 shadows, 4 lip colours and a blush. I was so disappointed with the shadows!! They were so lacking in pigment it was awful (you can see in the pic below) The Blush is a nice colour but the shadows, blush and lip colours don't work well together :/ the lip colour I enhanced by adding a clear gloss over the top but all the other colours weren't pigmented at all. I was so highly upset with this palette :( Overall: E-

Next palette was the Rock Chick!
I tried this palette and pretty much liked it straight away! The colours match and blend well, the blush is great! the lip colours are still lacking a little... but they're better than the BEG palette. I actually used this palette to get my Neutral day smokey blue eye LOTD (which you can see here:http://tinyurl.com/no32c44) The shadows in this are of a much better quality, though, and I really am enjoying it :). Overall: B+
Ma blue smokey eyes :')
the RC Palette!
One of the...ok...lip colours.

Now for my last mini makeover palette (and perhaps my favourite XD) the Baby Blue Eyes (BBE)!
This palette. Just wow. Shimmering sexy nudes and neutrals that blend and melt into eye sockets, the blush is a beautiful peach that is to DIE for and the lip colours are...still lacking but a tad more pigmented than the others :) Overall: A :D
How Pwetty is dis face? :3



Another cute-sey look :)
 Next up, LIPS:
I am sure you lot know I love MUA's lip booms, y'know the ones where you have a lipstick one end and a gloss the other end? Well these Double Hit Lips from LOOK are AMAZING. They're so pigmented, come in gorgeous colours and LAST. I don't know how else I can tell you that I am literally on the floor begging LOOK to never stop making these! Berry Blast really makes me think of Lime Crime's Airbourne Unicorn and similarly Pink Punch to Lime Crime's Contessa Fluorescent :D Overall: A* -If  there's one thing you buy from this haul, these should be it.

Last but certainly not least the Pro Palette:
This "Palette" or Box as I prefer to call it, is a Box that comes with 3 little strips of shadows, blush and 2 lip colours and also a little carry case for one of them, so you can take it with you wherever you go! I do like this palette, the shadows are of a nice quality but they're very small!! The blushers are very, very nice and the lip products are much better quality to those in the Mini Palettes. Although I hate how big and bulky the main outer packaging box is! Considering the trays are really slim, this box is massive. :/ I do like that each little tray has a designated theme with it though like the third one is a 60s trend :) Overall: Cannot fault the actual product, A :)

So that was my LOOK haul! I hope you've enjoyed it, it was a very long time coming with this one, so I am sorry for that! But you know what I am like, I like to give you all a GOOD amount to read and really review it, not just try it once, I try everything at least twice to really give my opinion :) x x x

LOTD 26.8.13 -Inspired by the 80s with a bit of colour blocking!?

Today I wanted to try out my LOOK beauty mono shadows I bought in my most recent haul (stay tuned for the review and swatches-hopefully next week now!) and so I decided to use Jewel as the blocked colour, Gillet as a crease/blending out colour and Couture as a Bottom lash colour/liner.

My Full Face

Of course, if I really wanted to go all out 80s I should've taken the colour right up to the brow and drawn thick brows on, with a lot of blush blended out to the hair line, but....I kinda needed it wearable for walking round a car boot sale...lmao >.<

Ma Colour Blacked Eyes...
I then swept some Benefit's One Hot Minute over my cheeks, popped some High Brow Glow under ma brows, whipped up my lashes with some of that MaxFactor Wild Mega Volume Mascara (which almost disappears into my skirt-a skirt which I did NOT wear for the day haha!) and lastly, slicked on some Tarte's Amazonion Lipstick in the shade Whimsy.

All products used :)

Thanks for reading guys! Let me know if you actually like a weekly Look of the Day?

Love you!

Kelly's Hen Do: Neon+POPworld+woowoos=Good Night ;)

Following my ideas of what products I was going to use to create the look of La Neon, This is my Post on what I actually ended up using and a few photos of my outfit etc. :P
We did have such a fun filled night with massive woowoos and pure cheeseyyy 90s music >.< and of course, everyone in neon...

My Outfit >.<

In This photo, you can see my Nails Best :)



My eyes:
I ended up using this bright neon greeney/yellow (almost exactly the same colour as the wig:P)  I took a close up of the colours in the palette and I'll give a good description of which ones I used :) with MAC's Bare Study Paint Pot as a nice neutral base (to help the colour payoff and staying power of the powder shadows)The Black Eyeliner is LOOK Beauty's Flirty Flick Liquid Liner (also pictured below) And I used Rimmel's Scandaleyes Mascara as it's the best for upping and voluminising your lashes without removing any previous stuff on your lashes :)

Some of the products mentioned above

I used (from row above the bottom orange) The shade 4 from left in and not the next shade, but the next one after that! :P

Pretty <3
My Face:
I just went over the makeup I had on from throughout the whole day (BareMinerals Foundation etc) I buffed in Benefit's Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Liquid Foundation (In shade "I am pure for sure, Ivory") all over my face and when happy with that went over it with a dusting of Mary Kay's Powder Mineral Powder Foundation (In Shade Ivory 1) both, pictured below. I also used Benefit's Perk Up Artist Palette to conceal, brighten & correct etc. I then used MAC's Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft & Gentle on my cheekbones to act as my highlight.
