London Haul

So last Saturday my mum and I went to Covent Garden in London to do a bit of shopping and see the Lion King at the Lyceum (which was amazing by the way). I spent way too much money (despite the fact that we didn't even have that much time to shop) and so I thought I would share what it was that I bought!

We had got off the tube in Covent Garden and within five minutes I had bought a pair of ridiculously over-priced shoes. These limited edition Liberty Sky Hi Nike Air Max's are the most beautiful trainers I have ever seen. They were a whopping £119 and I am still a little in shock that I actually bought them, but I love them so much and if you can't spoil yourself in December then when can you, eh?

I was so excited to find a MAC store, but it seemed, so did the rest of London and so this tiny shop was filled with a million people. I had to make quick decisions about what I wanted to buy before I got knocked out by over-excited shoppers and so I bought myself a lip liner, a lipstick and an eyeshadow before I could think too hard about it.

I bought the lip liner in 'Vino' and I didn't even know I wanted it until the assistant, very persuasively, told me that it would go with the lipstick I was buying. It is a lovely deep red/purple colour and cost £12.

The lipstick was one that I first saw on Sammi from beautycrush and I thought it looked gorgeous. It was £15 and last a long time on your lips. (It also smells of vanilla is that just me?!)

Finally I bought an eyeshadow that I've been pining after for months and months and I'm so glad I finally bought it! It is a lovely dark brown matte colour and cost £12.50.

I also bought myself a perfume from Zara which was such an affordable price, for 50ml it was £7.99 which I think is such great value for money. The scent is called 'White' and it is quite jasminey and floral.

Finally we went into Urban Outfitters, and even though there were a million things i could have tried on and bought, especially in the presents section, we had to catch the tube to get the train and had only about ten minutes to spare, but maybe that was a good thing!

I ended up buying a beauuuuutiful white lace bra (which you can see here) which was very overpriced but oh well, and a hair scrunchie with cheetahs on.

So those are all of the things I picked up from London. I feel like I won't be doing any more big shops for a looooong time to come (especially for shoes!)

Get the Look: Miranda Kerr

Hi guys, so I really wanted to try out a look that other people could follow and use and I thought that this photo of Miranda Kerr is just too beautiful to pass up. I am so excited to recreate it and I hope I do her makeup justice:-) This is only my interpretation and so I'm not expecting to look the glowing goddess that Miranda Kerr does!

The photo that I was working from is this:

I decided to do the makeup look in video form because pictures and descriptions were proving too difficult haha! I'm sorry that the quality is terrible but it was the best option as I really wanted to upload a makeup tutorial today.

Products used:

BASE:

Maybelline BB Cream in Light (applied with beauty blender)

Benefit High Beam (for highlight)

Nivea Soft Blush (for contouring)
MUA Matte Perfect Loose Translucent Powder 

EYES:
No7 Stay Perfect Eyeshadow in Starry Lights
MUA Trio Eyeshadow in Chocolate Box
Collection Brown Eye Pencil (used for brows as well)
The Body Shop Liquid Eyeliner in 01
Benefit 'They're Real!' Mascara

LIPS:
Barry M lip liner in 1
Barry M lipstick in Pillar Box Red

So just as a quick description, I start by applying my base and setting it with powder. I then highlight and contour my cheeks, forehead and nose. Then I fill in my brows and start on the eyes. I highlight my brow bone and use a dark brown to create a wing shape in my crease and near my eyebrows, I then use a lighter brown on my lid. I use the darker brown again to go half way along underneath my eye, as well as using brown eyeliner so that there is some definition but it isn't too harsh. I do a small line of eyeliner on my lid and apply mascara. I outline and fill in my lips with a lip pencil and then use my lipstick to go over it. To get a more matte look like Miranda I go over my lips with some powder (this also makes the lipstick last longer) and do a final coat of lipstick.

Thankyou to anybody who took the time to watch and I hope it was helpful as I'm not too sure if I'm embarrassing myself here!
