I am trying to come to terms with
the fact that summer is pretty much over now. It’s time to pack away the shades,
bikinis and denim shorts and get out your winter wardrobe. It seems to be a
thing that I see, that people are only getting creative and colourful with make
up in the summer…. well not me! I can handle a splash of hot pink or sky blue
at any time of the year and I am so grateful that I have palettes like the Full
Spectrum and the Moondust palette in my collection. I know that I can count on
them to give me the colour and sparkle that I crave during the cold wintery weather.
The colours are so pigmented and they all work so well together. Also how
beautiful is the packaging?!!!! To get maximum pigment I always use the primer
potion, which you all know how great that is!
I love throwing colourful eyeliners
into the mix too using the UD Razor Sharp Liquid eyeliners. I’m used to using only
black eyeliner so they have definitely made me go out of my comfort zone and
try something new and I loved it! They are so easy to use with a ‘razor sharp’
brush to help keep your liner looking clean and smooth and the like the
palettes, the colours are so pigmented.
I always try and embrace my
freckles in the summer and use minimal products on my skin and have light,
natural brows but as soon as it starts to turn cold I am all about the bold
brows, pale skin and rosy blush. I feel the All Nighter Liquid Foundation is
perfect for this. It has great coverage, enough to cover my millions of
freckles and I think I might be a shade too light for my skin so it helps me
look even more like a vampire. I personally think this makes the colourful eye
look seem even more dramatic.
Whilst I wear false lashes when I’m
doing my make-up looks, I don’t like to wear them every day but I still always want
that false lash feeling. I’ve tried many
types of mascaras over the years but I never seem to find one that I always go
back to…. Until Perversion came along! I think I first had a travel sized one
and I used it to the death so quickly, but just as I ran out I came home to
find I had been sent a full sized one. ANDDDD I was also sent its beautiful sister
Subversion, a lash primer?!! I had never seen a lash primer before and I remember
thinking, if it’s as good as the mascara then I’m sure it’s going to be amazing.
I love that it’s not too thick and doesn’t make your lashes stick together but I
love that it’s thick enough that when you apply your mascara over the top, it
makes your lashes like ten times fuller!
Don’t get me wrong, I love a deep
smoky eye and a maroon lip on an autumn day but I will always be a little
colour fairy at heart.
