Simple glitter eye look 💫

Image result for stila eye glitter holiday set

Hi guys and welcome back to my blog!
Today I'm doing a simple mini eye look on the new Stila Written In The Stars - Glitter &
Glow Liquid Eye Shadow Set that launched as part of Stila's holiday collection. I wanted to create a very simple glittery look and give you guys my thoughts on this new Stila set. According to Stila's website this mini set comes with 3 shades, Diamond Dust (sheer silver and multi-colour glitter) Kitten Karma (champagne, silver and copper glitter) Smoky Storm (light pewter and silver glitter) and this set retails for £25 on Cult Beauty.
In my opinion it can sometimes be tricky when dealing with glittery eye shadow. So I'm hoping this trio will be easier to use compared to other glitters and pigments.  For this look I wanted to create a simple glittery glow that is wearable even on a daily basis or for a more natural look.
I love these shades as they are universal colours and are going to compliment every skin tone. These eye shadows come with a flat doe-foot wand applicator which I find beneficial for make up beginners as it's very easy to apply with. The texture of these shadows are smooth but wet and takes time to dry. You should be careful when applying these as they can smudge easily and I would also recommend using an eye primmer as the shadows can settle into the crease.
However overall I believe this is a stunning set especially for the price point as this mini set is roughly equivalent to one full sized eye shadow.
 For anyone who is interested in testing out this trio I would recommend watching out for it in the January sales.

Moo Goo Shampoo Review

 I realise I am late to discovering this shampoo but nevertheless it deserves a review. I picked up the Moo Goo shampoo in my local chemist last week after a friend recommended it to me. I must admit I have been obsessed every since. I have dry hair and over the years I feel like I have tried every shampoo on the market for dry hair. It wasn't until I discovered the Garnier Ultimate Blends shampoo did my hair improve at all however sometimes even that doesn't work for my hair. It can be frustrating as using hair masks can make my hair go greasy faster and my scalp would still be dry. Since I started using the Moo Goo shampoo my hair looks more hydrated and there is no dryness on my scalp. This shampoo is a little more expensive than your average bottle of shampoo however I believe it is worth every penny. This shampoo is excellent and also leaves a lovely shine.   Available at:  https://moogoo.ie/scalp-friendly-milk-shampoo Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC...

SOSU Contour Stick

Hi guys! Today I’m going to be reviewing the SoSu contour stick. I’m aware this product has been around for a while now but I have always avoided cream contour products for two reasons. The first being that I don’t want the product to slide around my face and also powder products are easier to use. Secondly, any cream contour products I have come across for reasonable money have been too dark for my skin tone. I purchased the contour stick in the shade ‘Cool’ from my local pharmacy that stocks SoSu products. On application I swiped the contour stick directly onto my face where I would normally apply contour powder and then I used a beauty sponge to blend it out. The stick is very pigmented and it only takes one swipe to apply. It’s very smooth on the skin and the product is easy to build up if you want a more prominent contour. The component feels good quality and the product is cruelty-free, paraben-free and vegan. Overall I think this is a great product. The stick is ea...

Upcycling my bedside locker

 Hi! Today I wanted to show you a piece of furniture I recently upcycled. I have this bedside locker for a few years. However the top of it have been damaged by nail varnish and it has some wear and tear marks. I decided to paint it one of my favourite colours from Dulux which is Mid Shadow. I picked up everything I needed from Bandon Co-Op Retail and Garden Centre. I will link what I bought down below.  I started by cleaning the locker with a damp cloth and then waited for it to dry. I removed the drawer knobs. Then I lightly sanded down the surfaces with some sanding paper. This creates a key for the paint to adhere to when you are applying it. I started applying my satinwood to the locker. I decided to purchase the water based satinwood as it drys quickly and is more environmentally friendly. It took about 4 coats however you can buy an undercoat too to reduce the amount of coats you need to apply.  For the drawer knobs I decided the keep them and spray paint...
