Two Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly Palette Review

Hey guys, as you probably read the title then you will have guessed that I am reviewing the Two Faced Peanut Butter and Jelly palette. I have been waiting for this palette for so long, ever since I saw it in one of Amanda Steele's videos, but I was lucky enough that somebody super special bought it for me. Living in the UK it is hard to get some Two Faced products which is another reason I didn't pick it up straight away. But with christmas fast approaching this pocket sized palette is a perfect gift.


This palette is perfect for travelling, it is small enough to fit into handbags and I actually think that it is smaller than some mobile phones. It is great for beginners as it has 9 shades which are split into three step by step looks but of course yo can create whatever looks you like. There is a mix of shimmer and matte shades giving you multiple day looks which can easily be transitioned into night looks.


Shades:
-Spread the love: A peachy tone with very fine glitter, it is very light with a shimmer, it is perfect for a base.
-Peanut butter: A matte brown/ tan, this shade is good for and everyday look and is an ideal transition shade for each of the colours in the palette; it has a lovely buttery texture.
-Peanut butter cup: a shimmery bronze shade, I love this colour although it has quite a bit of fallout.


Spread The Love/Peanut Butter/Peanut Butter Cup
-Bananas: I love this light golden/ champagne shimmery shade, it is wearable as a day to day base shade or on its own.
-Peanut Brittle: a shimmering coper shade with a warm under tone, this another of my favourites the pay off is incredible and it has a smooth textures.
-Jamin: For me this is my least favourite shade in the palette, it is a deep purple shade with glitter, it is a build able shade but it also has a lot of fall out. This shade is good if you want to smoke out your look and transition to a night time look but I think that a lot of palettes have a shade the same as this one.

-Extra Creamy: This is a pure cream shade and as the name suggests it is extra creamy with a super buttery texture.
-Jelly: This shade is the reason I was draw to this palette, its a bright purple shade, it is blend able  but also sheers out a lot and has an iridescent finish. unfortunately this shade is quite crumbly.
-Nuts About U: This is a russet shade shade that blends really well and compliments all of the other shades in this palette.

I think this may be one of the favourite palettes that I own, I smells amazing, the packaging is so cute and it is such good quality and I recommend it to everyone.


Thank you for reading

Urban Decay Vice Reloaded Palette Review

I was skimming through the Debenhams website for christmas gifts a few days ago and saw that they have discounts across the whole store. I then found myself in the depths of their beauty section and I couldn't help but pick something up for myself. After lots of browsing I decided up on the Urban Decay Vice Reloaded Eye Shadow Palette, the vast amount of colours immediately drew me in.

For me this is my first Urban Decay Palette, gasp! I know right?!?! No Naked Palettes, no setting spray, no Primer Potion, no nothing. But I have to say with this first purchase I'm in love.

Im a little late reviewing this palette because its limited edition and it came out in January but oh well I have it now. This palette is to celebrate 20 years of Urban Decay, it includes some of some of their older, discontinued shades, some current favourites and a few new ones. The matte black packaging and the purple jewel logo on the front won me over, it is just so sleek and stunning, also the button to open the palette just makes it feel so much more high end and glamourous.




The pigmentation of these shadows are incredible; they are so creamy and I also love the shade range,  the only down side for me is there is a lot of fall down with a lot of the colours but they blend beautifully and have greats staying power. The range of colours is also perfect, you have some more day appropriate, but you also have a range of bright colours and shimmer and to top it off they are build able so perfect if you are still experimenting with the more bold colours.

UV-B, Goldmine, Gash, Mildew

 The colours I swatted for you are, Mildew, Goldmine, UV-B, Gash, Smog, Freakshow, 501and misdemeanor. My favourites being UV-B, Goldmine, Gash and Mildew.

Freakshow, Misdemeanor, Smog and 501

Freakshow, Misdemeanor, Smog and 501

Mildew, UV-B, Goldmine and Gash






 All in all I love this palette and I can't wait to start trying out new looks with all of the shade. Thank you for reading, what are your favourite shade? Are there any other palettes that you would suggest?

Enjoy

Date Night Outfit Idea Featuring Adore Me | AD / Collaboration

Hey guys how are you? I am doing this post in partnership with Adore Me who have asked me to pick out a date night outfit and choose what items of theirs I would pair it with. I was exited to compile this outfit idea because after all of the outfit posts I have done, I have never thought to pair it with lingerie set which when thinking about it your underwear has the powers to make you feel confident and sexy and this always needed on a date.



For my outfit I have picked this white dress with a blue floral pattern, as we transition into autumn I thought the slightly longer length of the skirt and the little capped sleeve would fit nicely. As a person that is easily effected by the cold I also paired this dress with this grey waterfall jacket because I never leave the house without a jacket. For a a bad I chose this simple, small, white bag because I didn't want to draw attention away from the dress but I thought the small blue flowers added a cute detail and the pale blue colour matches the dress.




 For the shoes and jewellery I also keep it simple once keeping the focus on the dress so I went with these white strappy heels and this silver dot and dash bracelet.


Lastly for the lingerie I couldn't pick between these two sets. I know that they look similar but they are different styles and shapes so I am keeping them both. I went for these because I think they are both super cute, I am in love with bralette's at the moment because they are super comfortable so the Rainey Bralette was a no brainer. But for more a bit more support I also chose the Vivanne balconette bra.


Adore me have a huge selection for people to chose from, there is definitely something for everyone from bras and Panties to sleepwear and corsets, also good news ladies Adore Me cater for a whole range of different sizes and shapes have a broad plus size range so there will always be something to choose from.

For people who want to see more from adore me or need some inspiration then follow them over on pinterest.

I hope you have enjoyed this post, if you would like to see more like this feel free to leave a comment.

Beach Day | OOTD 2016

On a recent trip to cornwall I couldn't miss the opportunity to wear one of my new dresses. I bought this dress off Boohoo after I saw the Duchess of Cambridge wear a gorgeous dress by Naeem Khan. For me it was love at first sight and I finally understood why we need the heart eye emoji, after searching the internet for a look a like I stumbled upon this one.



It doesn't compare to Kate's dress but for a family holiday in Cornwall it is perfect, the pattern is inked on to a lightweight polyester material. The dress is also lined so it keeps everything covered. Unlike the Duchess's dress this one doesn't have sleeves and isn't synched in at the waist but it is very comfortable and extremely affordable.






I can't compare my elegance and poise to that of Kate and my hair never stays in place but I have enjoyed the chance to create my own look. Note to self sand dunes really aren't easy to manuver.

Enjoy!

Lost Ink Wishlist

Recently I have been finding a lot of new brands who have products I love and one I keep going back to is Lost Ink, so here is a wish list of of my favourite items from them.


All of these items I found on Asos which has a sale on at the moment so these prices may differ from the Lost Ink website.
1:Black Tuxedo dress | 2: Roisin ghillie lace up heels
 3: Lace panel dress | 4: Black soft wrap heels
5: Ruri wrap heels | 6: Pleat aline dress
7: Glitter block heels | 8: Denim western playsuit

 These are just a few things from this brand but look how amazing they are, this brand has such a wide range of styles that are a mix of modern and simple vintage looks. One of my favourite aspects of the dresses is that a lot of them aren't too short, giving them a very classic and timeless look which are exactly the kind of things I am trying to incorporate into my wardrobe..  The wrapped heels are so elegant and look much more expensive than they are.  The block heels are a combination of white and blush pink, adding the glitter makes the shoes more of a statement piece but the toned down colours make them much more subtle and suitable for multiple looks.


Prices:
1. Tuxedo dress, was £44, now £22
2. Roisin Ghillie lace up heel, was £35, now £26.50
3. Lace up panel dress, was £65, now £45
4. Black soft wrap heels, was £46, now £32
5: Ruri wrap around heels £45, now £32
6: Pleat aline dress, was £46, now £13
7: Glitter block heels, was £38, now
8: Denim western playsuit, £44

I absolutely love these choices and given the chance I would wear them all the time, and I will with out a doubt be keeping an eye on any future products and if anybody has any suggestions feel free to leave them in the coments.


Enjoy!
