Rose Gold Loving

I feel like spring is the time for me to whip out the pastel pinks, the natural nudes etc. But this year I've noticed myself wearing a lot more Rose Gold shades. It's such a spring like shade so I thought I would show you my favourite Rose Gold make up pieces for this spring!

The Eyes

The trend for Rose Gold eyes started when the Naked 3 palette was released. So many more brands brought out their own versions of the pink toned eyeshadows. However, if the Naked 3 palette is a little bit pricey for you and you are looking for a cheaper alternative, the w7 In the Nude Palette is a great dupe and I have a post all about this palette here. The colours are all gorgeous and there is a mix of shimmers and mattes. The packaging is also insanely similar to the Urban Decay palette! Something that I have rediscovered recently in my makeup is the No7 eyeshadow in Antique Rose. It is a stunning pink with gold shimmer. I love products that are quick and easy to use, so I especially love the Collection Eye Crayon in Vintage Blush. It glides and blends really easily and looks so natural on your eyes,

The Blush
Undoubtedly, I have chosen to include the Sleek blush in Rose Gold which is included in the Sleek Contour Palette. The blush in this palette is such a stunning pink with gold shimmers, which gives the blush a highlighting effect, perfect for spring!

The Lips
Going along with the rose golds and shimmery pinks, I have been loving the Revlon Lacquer Balm in Demure. I have mentioned these lip crayons so much on my blog so I don't want to go on about them too much. But the formula of this is so lovely, it is nice and sheer which makes it more natural to wear.

As you can see, I have a little obsession with rose gold makeup at the moment. What are your favourite trends for this spring?

W7 Palette - Urban Decay Naked 3 Dupe!

 

 

As a makeup obsessed beauty addict, I am always wanting to get my hands on the Urban Decay Naked Palettes, but the price tag puts me off every time! So for a while now I have been searching for a very similar dupe with the same pinky and rose gold shades. While raiding the TK MAXX store searching for any bargains (I picked up a set of 3 Revlon Lip Butters for the price of one of them (£7.99) in there before, trust me there's many goodies hiding around. I also got a Too Faced palette as well which is rare but a bargain buy!!) I saw hiding under some bits and bobs, a rose gold rectangle shaped palette and in my head I was hoping for it to be the Naked Palette. And when I pulled it out, it was something very similar!

So the palette I found is called the w7 palette 'In the Nude' and clearly as you can see from the packaging looks a lot like the Naked 3 palette. It has a sturdy rose gold tin packaging with the name of the palette written across it. Most palettes that have similar shades to UD palettes are often from MUA or Makeup Revolution which have fairly cheap packaging (but are very pigmented I must add), but this palette's packaging looks very good quality!

When you open it up, it is clear that the colours are more or less the same as the Naked 3. It ranges from natural pinky gold shades (which are my favourite!) to darker greys and mauves. There are 3 matte shades, one of which is my favourite (in the Naked 3 palette it's called 'Nooner'). The darker shades are very pigmented, but the lighter shades are a little bit less strong in colour. But they come out stronger when applied with my finger and not a brush! There are some glitters which are very pretty. My favourite shades are showed in the picture above. I might do a makeup look with this palette if you're interested?!

 

Overall I am very impressed with this palette and definitely recommend it if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to Urban Decay palettes. This was only around the £6 mark which is 1/6 of the Naked palettes! Thank you for reading this review and I hope you enjoyed!

October Favourites

 

 

 

This year is actually going so fast! October went so quickly and now it is November already? Say what?! Haha I guess that can only mean it is time for my monthly favourites.

Beauty

I recently picked up the w7 palette 'In the Nude' as I had seen a few bloggers talking about it a while back. You can probably see from the packaging it is VERY similar to the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, even the shades are pretty much the same. The shadows are very blendable and gorgeous colours! Before I go into too much detail, I have a post on this coming very soon so keep you're eyes peeled for a full review on that! If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to £37 UD palette, this is great for you at £6! 

You have probably seen this Nina Ricci Lipstick (unfortunately still remains shadeless) floating around in a few of my recent blog posts this month. But that's because I have been obsessing over it! It was limited edition around last year (maybe the year before) so I don't think it is available anymore. It is a gorgeous dark berry shade, perfect autumn shade! It is a glossy finish however which means it can slip and slide but the colour is stunning which is what draws me to it the most.

As it gets much more colder in winter, baths become inevitable which means I can bring out the Lush bath bombs. I recently rediscovered my love for the Comforter Bubble Bar from Lush. It is my ultimatefavourite  product of theirs I have ever tried. At only £4.95 it is such a bargain as you can cut it up (it's massive) and use it about 5 times, maybe even more! And don't even get me started in the smell, mmmm lushhhh!

Book

I've read the book: The Host by Stephanie Meyer about a year ago, however, this month I realised I never actually finished it oops! So I decided to read it again (from the beginning, not where I left off haha or I would never remember the story!) and I've really been enjoying it! It's quite a long book but I think it is very interesting and not boring at all! It is very gripping, adventurous, sad and enjoyable to read! I also love the film!

TV

My Dad introduced my sister and I to a show he used to watch about 10 years ago called Lost and wow let me just say I have never been as hooked onto a TV show as this one. It is by far the best show ever and in about 2 weeks we have got through 2 seasons so far. It's about survivors of a plane crash in a mysterious island with lots of creepy mysteries. There are so many unanswered questions at the end of each episode you just have to watch the next one.

YouTube

I have been loving watching the Saccone Jolys as they are just so adorable! If you don't know who they are, they are a family who make daily vlogs but they are just so fun and their two children Emilia and Eduardo are actually the cutest. 

Music

Majestic Casual - Say My Name (Remix)

Jessie Ware - Say You Love Me

Labrinth - Let it Be

So that is all from me I hope you enjoyed this months favourites! Have a nice day, bye!
