FOTD – Blue eyes!

Posted by mickung

Yesterday I decided to do a colourful look for work as I haven’t in a long time and I wanted to be adventurous. I ended up creating this blue look!

If I want to be ‘colourful’, I always end up wearing blue? Not quite sure why, but I think its the easiest bright colour for me to pull off. Blue also looks stunning on brown eyes so try it out if you’re a brown eyed girl!

In the future I definitely want to try out a purple look as I never wear purple, probably because I’m scared that I’ll look like I have a bruised eye! But I’ll try it out soon and report back!

When you’re feeling adventurous, what colours do you normally wear?

I’ve never done an In’s and Out’s blog post, but have decided to do one today! If I do one regularly you’ll get to know a bit more about me and hopefully I’ll learn more about you guys aswell!

INS!

  • Being Happy – I am so content and happy with life right now, I feel like everything is perfect!
  • Colour Coach – I have been appointed the position of Colour Coach at work at The Body Shop!!! This means I’m in charge of make-up and all aspects of it – make-over's, training the other girls, figures, etc! Very excited as my boss and I have come up with some very exciting ideas!
  • Summer!!!! – Even though the weather isn’t perfect at the moment, I can tell this summer is going to be amazing. I turn 22 in two weeks, I’m going on holiday to France in three weeks – which will include Disneyland, lots of Sephora trips and staying in a Chateau in the South! I also have lots of gigs and theatre trips lined up which I can’t wait for – OkGo gig tomorrow, and WolfBoy at the theatre on Friday!

OUTS!

  • Guys!! I really don’t have any time for them at the moment! I always seem to get messed around! But in the words of Jamie Callum – I’m all over it now!
  • Decorating my room – Its taking forever and I’m painting it all by myself which makes my arms hurt and means I’m always covered in paint!

Hope everyone is happy and well! XX


Urban Decay Deluxe Palette

Posted by mickung

I am again, SO sorry that I haven't been posting much recently, but I have a valid excuse!  I’m moving back into my parents house next weekend for the summer holidays, so I’ve been very busy packing everything up, tidying and also trying to decorate my bedroom back home as it needs a revamp!  I’ll take before and after pictures and show you when its all done!  So after next weekend I should be back for good after I’ve unpacked everything so expect more posts!

I bought myself this Urban Decay Palette as a cheeky Christmas present a year ago and have treasured it ever since!  I love love this palette, but I really don’t wear the colours as much as I’d like to! Probably cause I’m too scared that I’ll ruin it! Haha!

I think there is a really nice selection of colours in this palette, and Urban Decay’s eye shadows are all so beautifully pigmented and stunning, you really can’t ask for more!  I mostly use the browns as they are more wearable for everyday use, although my favourites are – Fishnet, Honey, Peace and Underground.

All swatches above and below are on plain skin – no primer or base, and they are still stunning and bright, I think you really get your moneys worth with this palette, which costs around £22 at Boots.

There's really no need for lots of waffling about this product, as I’m sure you are all aware of the amazing quality of Urban Decay and all their products and I’m sure you’ve read many reviews on this before!

In the near future I think I’m going to create some looks using this palette as I can imagine it looking quite daring at first, and I want to show how wearable the colours are!  Let me know if there are any in particular that you want used in the EOTD! 

Who else has this palette? What your favourite colour combination with it?

Also, I’m really really excited as I’ve been invited to Zuneta’s Edward Bess Make-up launch event!  I’ve never been to a beauty event before, and although I’m quite nervous as I won’t know anyone, I’m really looking forward to seeing the range and meeting everyone! If anyone else is going then let me know!! :)
