Retro Pin-up Look

hey :D

I decided to do this Pin-up Look.Pin up is what I would describe as my 'style'. well makeup style, I describe my fasion style as boho chic, or comfy. anyway on with the makeup. 

I actually didn't wear foundation etc. because it was kind of late but just do the best foundation routine for you but try and get a very airbrushed finish.

Products Used in order:

Gosh foundation primer

Catrice all round concealer pallet 

Rimmel match perfection foundation

applied with MAC 187

Cartice compact powder (nude beige)

peach blush 

Also applied with MAC 187

Colourworks off white eye shadow

Applied with MAC 224

Maybelline gel eyeliner in black

applied with brush supplied

Black eye shadow

Rimmel Lash max mascara

Rimmel 500 diva red lipstick

Start off with doing your foundation routine, I didn't put on makeup as it was kind of late, but try go for a very airbrushed finish and apply a peach blush(theres not one in this picture though)

Take and off white or light brown and put in in to the crease with a fluffy brush just to add some depth, applied it with the MAC 224 

 retro/pin up girls usually had really defined eyebrows but I didn't fill mine in because it looks ridiculous on me but if you want do it on yourself.

then apply a back eyeliner and wing it out

 then set it with a black eyeshadow

curl your lashes and apply your mascara, you can use false lashes too if you want 

use a  red lipstick and apply it with your finger in a patting motion so you can get the matte look (apply gloss over it if you want)

and guess what ? your done :) I hope this was some what helpful lots of love, nicola xxx

River Island Outfit Idea

We all love buying expensive clothes from time to time and especially this Christmas maybe you might want to spoil yourself with a lovely outfit. I have put together an outfit from River island for under £160 ? maybe a bit expensive? but i really like it! River island unfortunately only deliver to Countries in the UK. So like me you can just buy it in the store or if your lucky get it on the website! Enjoy :)

Favourite Lush Products

I LOVE LUSH. Even though the prices are ridiculous I love the quality and the results you get afterwards. Now Im going to share with you some of my favourite ones...
1. Celestial moisturiser;
   I use this product every morning and night and I just love it! I have very dry skin and this moisturiser is very thick so if your skin is oily, dont use it! haha

I also love Lemony flutter, cuticle butter. Its really creamy and moisturising I put it on every night before I sleep. It smells like lemons, and i kind of citrus smell. I love this product.

I also really like there face exfoliate called angels on bare skin. It wipes out all the dirt in your skin and leaves it looking clean, soft and fresh. I unfortunately have none of this product left but I will definitely be buying more!

I'm not really someone to take many baths but when I was younger my mam used to always buy me this bath bomb, I used to love it!

My Favourite Nail Varnish Remover

My favourite nail varnish remover is a mixture of :

Tesco Nail polish remover,

        

                                                       and Cutex Nourishing Nail Polish Remover.          

  

I only use this amount ... ( I hope you can see, look close) 

I simply just pour it in :) It works great!

how to spot clean your brushes

Hi i'm nicola and this is my part of the blog, the girl who does the reviews is carla :) she doesn't even have the decency to tell you her name, haha only joking:) ANYWAY!! this is going to be a picture tutorial on how to 'spot' clean your brushes. spot cleaning your brushes is when you clean them 'on the spot', its the fast simple and great way to clean your brushes on the go or in between uses :) 

You will need

a brush cleanser. This is M.A.C's brush cleanser, obviously you dont have to use this one, Enkoremakeup(koren) off youtube has a video up on how to make your own, many other companies have brush cleansers, but I really like the M.A.C one :) It is €12

 A dirty brush or a brush you just wish to clean

 a face cloth/wash cloth 

 first put some of your brush cleanser on to your face cloth/wash cloth

 move your brush in circular motions or back and forward motions depending on the direction of the bristles, for this brush you would have to use back and forward motions 

where as with this brush you would go in circular motions

move to a dry area and move your brush around if any extra makeup comes off run it over the brush cleanser again, if not run it over the dry area and your done :) and you'll be able to use the same brush in about a minute or two :) hope this was helpful and I hope you enjoyed, 

I'll talk to you soon , nicola xx
