Favourite Eyeshadow Palettes

Good morning from Florida!  The weather is finally starting to cool off here so I decided it was time to sit inside and get the laptop out (all my other posts were written in advance).

Today I wanted to talk about my favourite eyeshadow palettes.  I love palettes as opposed to single shadows because they seem better value for money, are great for travelling and you can you the same palette for one look.

I know everyone has this palette but there's definitely a reason for this.  This is one of the first palettes I bought about 2 years ago for roughly $50 and it's still going strong now so it's so worth it.  I prefer the warm tones of this palette compared to the 2 and 3 versions, however, I really want to try the smokey one.



This is a great little drugstore palette.  You get 12 shadows for $6 and the colours are very similar to the Naked palette above.  I took this palette on my cruise holiday in 2014 and created so many looks with it.




I recently bought this from Ulta and it's what I used to create my New Year's Eve look last week.  I knew I had to have it as soon as I saw it because it has so many different colours unlike my other palettes so it's great for travelling when you want to mix it up.  It also cost me $35 which I think is pretty good value for the quality.




Still classed as a drugstore product but a little more pricey at $40.  I think I actually managed to get this in the sale after Christmas last year but anyway.  These eyeshadows are so creamy and pigmented and also have the odd colours that I really like but can't find anywhere else such as burgundy and chocolate brown so are great for creating smokey eyes.



Which are your favourite palettes?

My Favourite Looks From Fashion Week

Last month was 'Fashion Month' with showcases and catwalks taking place each week in different locations across London, New York, Paris and Milan.  Although I have been attending London Fashion Week for several years now, this time around I was in California and unfortunately could not attend any shows. However, that did not stop me from catching up once I was back from my trip to check out all the latest trends.  I was also browsing the   Esprit website   and noticed they had some awesome pieces just like the trends seen on the runway last month. Here are some of my favourites that I think are going to be hot this season and where you can copy the looks for less! Floral prints at Gucci.  You can shop the look for less here . All black at Marc Jacobs.  Shop the look for less here . Bows at Chloe.  Shop the look for less here . Sparkles at Alexander McQueen.  Shop the look for less here .

New Year, New You

As with every New Year, we make resolutions (you can see mine in my last post) but I think for most of us it's about becoming a newer and better person than we were last year.  I've come up with a few ways we can make little changes to become a newer and better you. New Hair I've said in many of my posts how much I like to change my hair and you can read about my hair dying experience here and my hair extensions experience here .  However, it needn't be a drastic change, just a little trim and some subtle highlights .  Whenever I change my hair I always feel like a new woman! New Wardrobe The New Year is probably the best time to invest in some new clothes because there are so many sales on.  You don't even have to spend a lot of money, I love affordable brands such as Esprit which do really on trend pieces at high street prices.  With a new wardrobe you will not only feel better but look better too!

How to Wear a Pink Lip

Wearing a pink lip can sometimes be quite hard, especially if it's a rather bright and vibrant shade but I think it looks so lovely for this time of the year. My favourite shade of pink is Impassioned by MAC .  It's very bright and has such a creamy texture that it glides on really well and stays put for quite a few hours.  I find I never have to wear a lip liner with this one either. When wearing a pink lip I think it's important to get the rest of your make up right so that you don't look washed up and colours don't clash. So starting off with the skin I would get myself nice and tanned.  My favourite tanners at the moment are the Superdrug Solait tan in dark and also Tan Truth which you can get from Sally's Salon Services.  Where I have just come back from Ibiza I have still got a bit of a tan so every few days I use the St Tropez Everyday gradual tanner and this helps top up my tan slightly. Then you've got to get the make-up right so
