Urban Decays Naked Palette 3

The Palette

It's the one you've been waiting for—The newest Naked palette, featuring 12 TOTALLY NEW and exclusive (and beyond amazing) rose-hued neutral . Urban Decay's Naked3 also includes a double-ended shadow/blending brush AND an Eyeshadow Primer Potion sampler with resealable samples of all four formulas (original, Sin, Eden and new Anti-Aging). Each sample holds about a week's worth of Primer! It is so much of a warmer palette compared to Naked 1 and Naked 2.

This features champagne and peach colours that would suit olive and caramel skin tones like myself. You can do so much with this palette, blending from the darks to the neutrals and transforming from day into night. Some of the shades are full of glitter and some are matted with a touch of shimmer, nothing gets me more excited then to get experimenting!

It is the best palette from the three and I just can’t believe I have got my hands on this beautiful eye shadow that everyone is after.  I am not sure about the price as I received this as a Christmas present but hey, it will last you all year so go and get yourself this very glamorous product.

The British Fashion Awards

The Goody Bag

Yesterday I was invited to most prestigious event of the year, which was The British Fashion Awards at the London Coliseum, which was hosted by Jack Whitehall. The ceremony saw the best of British and international fashion industries joined by a glamorous line up of guests and presenters, including Kate Moss, Donatella Versace, Sienna Miller, Miuccia Prada & Harry styles! It was just an amazing and exciting place to be and I was just in my element, surrounded by gorgeous dresses of the evening and champagne flowing all evening. 

I was so pleased about what they had to offer me in the goody bag, there were various beauty products and little treats I cannot wait to use. The Mac lady danger lipstick followed by the Mac mascara was a surprise to me; I am hugely looking forward to using these products. I also got given the Label.M hair products, shine mist and powder spray, which could come handy for a weekend away or an evening out for dinner. Overall I am pleased about the whole occasion and shall definitely be going next year.

The Pink Primark Oversized Boyfriend Coat

The Coat

Hello fashion lovers! I can’t believe I found this precious dime in the Luton store. Yes, the coat that is sold out everywhere and being worn by celebrities all over the country. 

I got my hands on this very special, just in time for Christmas ,Primark oversized baby pink coat.

I got it today and I just cannot believe my luck. It’s so beautiful I just keep trying it on and then putting it back in my wardrobe. I am very much looking forward to wearing this on special occasions.

The coat is very similar to the Zara Woollen blazer, which is also sold out in every store and can only be purchased on Ebay.  This is an incredible purchase, and at such good value that anyone who is lucky enough to get their hands on it should be as excited as I am now!

The Mac Prep + Prime

The Prime Example

Hi everyone! Being a Mac Obsessive, these are a few of the products I use on a daily basis and are actually a fundamental part of a makeup regime that assures me that my makeup will be left looking flawless. People always ask me why my skin is always glowing and fresh, it’s because before I start applying my makeup I use different primers and creams as a base coat for my skin. This gives it extra moisture and relives the dryness of the skin to ensure that the makeup will sit well and not rub off.

My two favourite primers are the Face Protection Visage and Skin Brightening Serum. These both work on dry skin more then oily skin which works fantastically on my skin cause I suffer from imperfections. The other one I use is Skin Brightening Serum that works well over the Face Protection Visage, this just leaves the face glowing and awake. The two combined gives me a soft base to then start applying foundations and concealers.

The lips: Everyone suffers with dry lips when applying a matte lipstick. Well I have brought the Prep + Prime for the lips, which is a lifesaver in all honestly, I carry this around with me everywhere. It’s such an amazing product and it really does give moisture to my lips.

Now you all know my secret to great looking makeup!  If these are not affordable products for you, there are plenty of cheaper primers that offer similar solutions.

The Chanel Freebies

Chanel Products

The Chanel freebies, every girl’s must haves and every girl’s necessities. Being a beauty addict I just had to indulge myself with as many free samples I could get my hands on, ITS CHANEL, why the hell not! I just love Chanel’s packaging, it’s so sleek and sophisticated I just had to get my hands on these. Being overly excited I had to try all the products as soon as I got them so I shall tell you my opinion on all these glamorous freebies.

The Hydra Beauty Cream – This is an intense hydration cream for the face, so you can apply this product before a Primer as a base coat and it will last you all day. This has left my face glowing and being radiant, I truly recommend this if shopping at Chanel.

Coco Mademoiselle, Fresh Body Cream – This is the exact scent of Chanel Chance fragrance, so if anyone is a fan of this perfume, this is the number one body cream to get. It is amazing! It’s so rich in scent and just delivers a radiant glow on the skin leaving it soft all day. As winter is here, this could be the perfect product for your hands. I have been using this product for my face and hands and it really does leave your skin silky smooth and radiant.

Perfection Lumiere, Long wear Flawless Fluid Makeup 40 Beige- A 15 hour long wear foundation, sadly this did not match my skin tone, it is way to dark for my skin and it is quite a thin coverage for the face. As I love my foundation to be thick with a lot of coverage, this foundation was not the one for me. This also goes for the Perfection Lumiere foundation, this was just not a match and not compatible with my skin. On the positive side it smells delicious , but it is not for me I’m afraid.  

There you have it! Go get yourself some Chanel or even get the free samples to try and experiment like me!

The Body Shop Obsession

The BodyShop Products

The Body Shop is one of my favourite places for natural perfumes and fragrances. They are just beautifully scented and packaged it will just make you want to buy everything in there.  

The Smoky Rose fragrance is a mysterious and intoxicated blend’s of tobacco and black smoke with a seductive floral-musk after smell. These will work well for a night scent as opposed to a daytime scent as its sweet and complimentary and will last the whole of the evening. I got these two bottles for £20.

The White Musk Rose is a very similar product but less mysterious and more of a daytime fragrance. Its rich with the rose scent and manipulated with the musk scent that brings out the fragrance even more. Also with this fragrance I got the shower gel and conditioner that came in the box set. These were also £20.

Amazing if your getting a christmas present for a loved one or if you just want to spoil ones self! 

The Essentials for my Handbag

Inside my HandBag Today

In every girls handbag they probably have this, maybe more and thousands of little extra things they won’t even use, but hey that’s women all over the world! We love to pack luxuries whether it’s a little car journey to the supermarket or a long train journey to London. Well that was me today; this is just half of what was in my handbag because what girl doesn’t need their lippy and a spray of perfume now and again?

Chanel Chance – Paranoid about smelling bad, I usually keep body spray or a lovely fragrance with me at all times.

Sleek Blusher & Mac Blusher Brush- An amazing blusher for a top up if it’s a windy day like today.

Mac Concealer- The best concealer ever and amazing for full coverage.

Mac Lipstick, Brave- Well if you have hot drinks all the time, you usually left with the lipstick rubbed off before you know it, this is a brilliant nude lipstick and I recommend it to any Mac lovers.

IPhone 4s charger- Well the obvious, if your phone dies!!

Purse- For all my beauty cards and debit cards along with spare change and notes.

Armani Glasses – I am now a contacts girl and I don’t usually wear my glasses unless I’m at work or at home, though I am always scared if I ever lose one, I have my glasses there in case.

The Monochrome Outfit

Outfit Of The Day

It’s every girls nightmare to plan an outfit for the day whether its for casual drinks or just to go shopping, I find it the most daunting part of my regime. The amount of times I change my mind and always going back to the original outfit is beyond me.  The outfit of the day features “The Monochrome” style which I am loving this season. These are all again from the high street and I’m certain everyone can get their hands on these little bargain buys.  Everything apart from the BarryM nail varnish was purchased at the incredibly cheap store “Primark” all less then £30.  

I am loving this years autumn /winter fashion and I am sure there is more delightful treats to come this Christmas!

I found these  sexy strap heels in the sale section in my size (very rare), which I immediately, with no hesitation placed into my basket.

I fell in love with the colours as soon as I saw them. These delights will go with absolutely everything; I'm looking forward to wearing them and would definitely recommend the purchase if you stumble across it.

Girls Essentials in a Handbag

Inside my handbag today I have all the essentials that a girl needs. Whether it be walking to work , on a train or a day out with her friends a girls needs things to keep her occupied. So here I have a girls favourite magazine , ELLE October edition which features many articles about autumn fashion and style advice. I also have my Mac Ruby Woo Woo lipstick which every girls needs just to retouch when it wears off during the day! My Costa Club card which I love , this is great if your addicted to coffee like myself. Then I have my Chanel, only worn on special occasions , today was one of them! Most importantly my Iphone 4S , I recently got a more sophisticated cover , a bargain price of £5.00. L'oreal being one of my favourite beauty products at the moment,  I now carry around the skin perfection day cream which was brought by my beauty card. 

YSL Beauty Products

Bronzing Powder and Radiant Touch

Being a Mac obsessed girl I was not sure on these products until the beautician at the counter offered me free samples on these amazingly packaged YSL products. As to my surprise I fell in love with the subtle coverage and radiance they supplied me with. I did not want to spend a fortune but I just could not resist! 

The YSL Bronzing Power 04: This is brilliant if you have a dark skin tone like  me and find it hard to get a match with bronzers and blushers. This gives you a very subtle touch to the cheekbones and you don't have to apply too much if you wear light makeup during the day. If however you like a lot of coverage then apply a little extra. This cost me £30.00, but hopefully it will last me quite a while.

The YSL Radiant Touch 4.5: This is my favourite after the Mac concealer as again its very subtle and works amazingly well to cover those dark circles and the odd blemishes. You can apply straight after a primer underneath your makeup or over foundation, whichever way, it is very subtle and not thick what so ever.  You can use your fingertips or a brush to apply it with or a sponge, whichever way you prefer!
