Eylure Natural Eye & Lash Kit


So I recently come across the Eylure Eye & Lash Kit. It took me about 3 seconds to decide I was going to buy this gorgeous kit. I really do love Eylure lashes so was very excited as soon as I saw the Kit. Whenever I go to a special occasion or clubbing with friends I feel naked without false lashes. Eylure is the first lash brand I reach for when it comes to lashes for personal use as well as for my shoots and makeup work.

So here is what you get inside the Kit.


First things first the eye shadow. As you can see in the photo above you get a lovely tutorial which shows how to apply all the products. Of course the eye shadow comes first. Its very helpful that each shadow has a name as well as the order number imprinted with in the shadow  

As you can see the eye shadows are 3 lovely natural shades which are really going to enhance the eye. 

1. Almond - This shade is a beautiful natural beige colour with a beautiful shimmery tone. 

2. Nutmeg - A slightly darker beige with a matte finish. 

3. Mocha - A gorgeous dark brown shade which will really enhance the sockets.

Just like the box says these 3 shades really are lovely and natural. They are perfect for enhancing the eyes and will look great on any eye shape or colour.





Next we have an Eylure Black Liquid Liner. The eyeliner applicator is a brush. The applicator is very easy to use and the actual brush is not too long so you can get a nice precise application.

If you feel the brush applicator is to long and you cant get the hang of it, just trim down the brushes for a more precise application.

The actual liner itself seems a great quality and applies very well. I hate the liquid liners that seem to remove themselves when you apply more. The liner also lasts well until you fully remove it. The liner removes really easy and doesn't leave any dark stains or tints that some liners can do.







I personally haven't used this mascara yet as I don't tend to use mascara when wearing lashes. I always apply mascara and lashes with my clients but personally I don't.

My lashes seem to soak up mascaras to much and make the false and real lashes look very un-even. I understand that no false lashes look natural but I do try and make my real and false lashes blend together as much as I can.

I do sometimes apply mascara to the lashes after the false lashes have been placed but mainly when I go to clubs. I only apply a very small amount and while the mascara is still wet I lightly press mine and the false lashes together.

 I haven't got round to using this mascara yet so I cant review it on its quality, but it does look great.







So saving the best until last we have the Eye Lashes !!!
As this is the natural set in this Kit you get the amazing 080 Lashes.
These lashes give a lovely soft natural fluffy look and really enhance the eye. The lining of the lash is almost invisible when applied so perfect for small soft eyeliner application.
So if you are looking for a great sexy full lash look but still want a  natural enhancing finish then these are the lashes for you.



You can buy these Kits online at Eylure the sets cost £19.50
There are 4 different sets to collect and I love them all !
I hope to get the other sets eventually and I will review them all too.

Have you tried any of the sets ?

Thanks for reading :D

Eylure Eye Lashes !


Now if your anything like me you will not be seen on a night out without a pair of eyelashes on !
I love eyelashes I really feel you can do so much more with your eye makeup with a pair of lashes on. 
When I do big dark eyeshadows and liners I feel my natural lashes seem to disappear and blend away so by adding a pair of lashes to the makeup, it makes your lashes stand out and also compliments your makeup. They are also great to glam up natural makeup for the extra oomph when you want to really stand out.


Applying lashes is very very tricky so I will soon do a step by step guide on how to apply them !

So here are a few of my absolute Favourite lashes from the Eylure Brand

083
I love these lashes they are quite minimal and great for applying lots of volume to the lashes without looking too much. They add a subtle volume and still look very natural. These are great to enhance your day make up or can be teamed with glamorous makeup to complete the perfect look for a special occasion.
They are a cute short length compared to some but really do add a lot of volume.
 I really feel these lashes compliment any look and I make sure I stock up on these! 

 107
 These lashes I like to wear for nights out. They have a lovely flare as they start small and get longer as the lash goes along. This is great for a vintage 1940's glamour look. They add great volume even though the start of the lashes are shorter. The lashes are not to long either that they still look flattering and enhance every eye shape. So keep these for the very special occasions for that extra special look !

101
This style has got to be my favorite for a night out. They are full of volume and length so give the extra oomph to complete your look. I think these are more evening lashes and could look a little too much with day wear. They have a lovely curve throughout the lash which is such a great lash shape that will enhance any eye shape nicely. These lashes teamed with a bold liner and smokey eye look amazing ! I would definitely purchase these if you want your eyes to stand out.


Each pack of lashes comes with Adhesive Glue for easy application and range from £5 to £6
You can purchase any of these lashes on www.eylure.co.uk/
If you want to look for any of the lashes in this post just type the lash number into the search box on the Eylure website.

MAC Fusion Pink Lipstick


I decided to get a light pink lipstick for the summer. This MAC lipstick in Satin Fusion Pink is the perfect colour for me. The colour goes on really well and lasts for hours as all MAC products do.  
I think this lipstick would also look great teamed with a gloss on top for added shine.
As this is a satin finish lipstick i find that it can be a little drying. I apply a small amount of lip balm before applying this lipstick to stop my lips from drying out. 
It is quite expensive at £15.00 but that's how much you pay for a MAC lipstick !






In the pictures i have added the lipstick itself looks a lot darker than it is. Below is a picture of how the colour looks on my lips. So you can see it is lighter on my lips.


This is a very subtle shade but can easily be built up for a more vibrant look to stand out. This colour is also really easy to mix with darker pinks and vibrant reds to tone them down slightly . I really do think this is the perfect summer shade and has so far complimented all my makeup and outfit choices. 




I will definitely repurchase this when i run out as i love this shade. But i will look out for other brands with the same colour for a cheaper alternative. 

Whats your favorite MAC Lipstick shade ? Do you like to use the satin finish ?

The Body Shop Born Lippy Pomegranate


On a recent shopping trip with a friend i got The Body Shops Born Lippy lip balm in Pomegranate (now that's a mouthful) . 
I had no intention of getting the lip balm but looking on the voucher codes app this lip balm popped up.  
By showing the code at the tills you received a free lip balm !
Usually you only get offers like this when you spend over a certain amount of money, but I didn't have to spend a thing. I simply just showed the code at the tills and could pick any shade I wanted. 


The lip Balms are usually £3 which is a great price anyway but even better for free. 

The lip Balm comes in 6 different shades.
Toffee - Caramel Tint  
Lychee - Transparent Shimmer 
Plum - Plum Tint
Pomegranate - Red Tint
Strawberry - Pink Tint
Pink Berry - Light Pink Tint




I don't usually go for red colours but I thought I have enough pink lipsticks and lip balms to last me for the next 10 years (well if the expiry date lasted that long!).
I wasn't really expecting much colour to come through after applying but there is a lovely subtle red tint with a nice shine. You can definitely tell that something has been applied to your lips.
The smell of the lip balm is lovely. You can really smell the Pomegranate. Its very fruity and sweet.   
  This lip balm is also one of the best for moisterising. It has left my lips feeling completely soft and nourished. 
If the weather it cold outside or Lovely and Sunny this is great to use. 


 I also love the pop art style on the packaging. It makes the lip balm stand out as most lip balms are quite simple and block colours. I know the design definitely made me want the lip balm even more.

To buy this product please visit The Body Shop

Have you used any of the Born Lippy range ? What do you think ?
