Retail Therapy | Illamasqua, Liz Earle & Soap and Glory

Every girl needs a little retail therapy, today was my day. If you read blogs, and watch youtube beauty videos you always have a list of recommendations and products you want to try! This is basically everything I have been lusting after recently!

I am really starting to get into Illamasqua at the moment, I am starting to get a bit bored of Mac products (The past couple of years that is all I have bought) and the artists at Illamasqua are always so quirky and fun! I bought the hydra veil primer (my flatmates got it recently and love it) eyebrow cake in motto and their concealer in cc210. I know the eyebrow colour is grey, but that's the colour ashy blondes or white/purple hair should use, avoid any colours with warmth! It doesn't look as grey and scary on the brows!

These are all repurchases, I never brought any of these over to Manchester with me, and nothing beats them! I am in love with the scent, if you haven't tried any they are a must!

Eventually jumped on the bandwagon, after so many people absolutely love this. In this set I got the Liz Earle cleanse and polish and 2 muslin cloths!

Let me know if you like or have tried any of these products! Thanks for reading xoxox

10 little secrets TAG

1. What is one product that makes you feel like a million dollars?
Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer...wow words cannot describe how much I love this product!! I use shade 1 under my eyes for that kim kardasion look and shade 2 on any blemishes! The difference it makes is amazing... must buy it now! haha (its only £4.19?)

2. What is your skincare secret? / A passed down skin care tip
My skincare secret is including a facecloth when im cleansing as it exfoliates aswell as removing makeup! Old school! But works!

3. Share your hair care secret?
Macadamia healing oil... Never tried anything like it! Its expensive but ten times better than any of the cheaper ones. Must have if you got dyed hair like me!

4. What is your biggest diet rule?
Im crap at diets. No willpower :( But an easy thing that I find to cut out is fizzy drinks etc, drink water instead!

5. Any workout tips?
Currently on day 3 of Jillian Micheals 30 day shred... Never felt more pain like it!! Definately working so far if you can put up with barely walking haha.

6. Which perfume is your secret weapon?
No joke my boyfriend is obsessed with britney spears fantasy!! (I know its sooo 10 years ago haha)

7. What is a clothing item of yours which always turns heads?
In the winter I love my tweed blazer.. Summer which is non exitent where I live, its a toughy, maybe heavily printed scarves! I need the warmth..

8. What is your most treasured piece of jewellery?
My boyfriend bought me a D&G charm bracelet for my last birthday. I wear it all the time!

9. Who is your style crush?
On youtube/blogs I heart..(wait for a list lol)
clothes encounters
fashion citizen
handfuloffashion
fashiontoast

I admire them for finding AMAZING thrifted pieces..

10. Tell us something we don't know about you
I got my first tattoo last summer! its an angel wing on my ankle. I was freaking crapping myself but I got through it because my 3 other besties all got tattoos at the same time! Was so cute we all supported eachother.. Now I have an addiction to looking up tattoos. Don't know if or what my next one will be. Maybe nothing...

Make blue/green eyes pop!

All the eyeshadows are from the blush palette see below! and the glitter is mac reflects bronze!

The colours are quite daring and bold so if you feel you need to you could tone it down with more warm tone browns subsituting brighter oranges and reds.
