BEAUTY: FOTD Trick or Treat

As they are one of my favourite posts to read, I thought I'd share what makeup I wore the other day. I wanted to do a smokey eye and make that the focus, therefore I kept  my base natural along with my lips. I also wanted to use my Naked 3 Palette which doesn't get as much love as I wish I did, so having an extra ten minutes decided to have a little play with it. 

Foundation - Rimmel Match Perfection / Concealer - Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer / Powder -Rimmel Stay Matte / Bronzer - The Body Shop Honey Bronze Powder / Blusher - B. Cheeky Blush in Candy Cane / Eyeshadow - Urban Decay Naked 3 Trick, Darkside and Blackheart  / Lips - Rimmel Kate Moss Matte 101

I'm loving the copper and amber toned eyeshadow at the moment and so used 'Trick' all over my eyelids. For a little definition, I added 'Darkside' into the outer corners and took it into the crease very lightly and then lined my lower lashes with 'Blackheart'. After touching up my efforts (I'm not the neatest person when applying eyeshadow) with a little concealer, I really liked the overall look. I would definitely wear something like this on a night out. 'Trick' is becoming one of my favourite shadows from the Naked 3 Palette.

Barry M Natural Glow Palette

Hi Guys,

So yesterday I was wondering around town after I finished work and popped into Boots. It's very difficult for me not to pick something up from the makeup aisles when I go in and despite telling my mum, 'I'm not buying anything' still ended up passing the lady over the counter the money for this gorgeous palette.

This is the Barry M Natural Glow Eyeshadow and Face Blusher Palette (click here to buy). It was one of those things that when I saw it I knew I had to have it. I've never worn a lot of eyeshadow (year 8 experimentation, eek), but lately I have found myself wanting to wear more after seeing bloggers such as Lily Pebbles and Vivianna Does Makeup talking about the Urban Decay Naked Palette's. I can't bring myself to spend that much money on something that I don't know how much I will use at the moment. This palette was significantly cheaper and similar (not a complete dupe).

It has six shades ranging from a pale shimmer pink, a cream shade (which is difficult to see in the swatch) two golden colours a grey and a dark brown. There is also a mix of matte's and shimmers. The palette also includes a pale pink blush, which gives a natural flush, perfect for the season. Personally, I've never seen this palette in the shop and thought it was a nice alternative for those of you who are just getting into makeup, or like me, don't wear eye makeup very often. I know I'll be getting a lot of use out of this and my Sleek Palette has been demoted to the bottom of my palette collection so far.

Obviously, I haven't had the opportunity to test the palette properly as of yet, but once I have I will return to give a full review. But these are a few pics of my first use (the pink and the last two shades were used, the very dark shade to line the lower lash line).
