EOTD Help with Hazel

I'm trying to accentuate what little green I have in my eyes and I think this leafy green really does work to bring out the green flecks. I only recently came to the conclusion that my eye colour is in fact hazel and not brown, as I have always thought my whole life! 



I used:
Primark Prime of your Life - In The Pink
MUA Eyshadow - Shade 7
Front Cover Freeze/Sizzle Palette - Toffee
E.L.F Cream Eyeliner - Black

FOTD Simple Rockabilly

I was going to a vintage clothes fair type thing today and thought I'd do a Rockabilly look for fun. I don't really know what kind of colours are considered right for this style so I just left the eyeshadow out.
Excuse my collapsed fringe! It was really curled up but slowly dropped before I took the pictures. Being the bargain hound that I am, I have to share that all the cosmetics I used (other than foundation and mascara) added up to just £5.48!




I used:
Vichy Dermablend Foundation
Maybelline Dreamy Creamy Foundation
No7 Mineral Perfection Foundation
Barbara Daly High Impact Mascara - Black

The Bargain Bits!
MUA Lipstick - Shade 1 - £1 (Superdrug)
Collection 2000 Fast Stroke Eyeliner - Black - £2.99 (Superdrug)
Active Eyelashes - Style 05 - £1.49 (Home Bargains)

EOTD Purpley

 Purple is probably my favourite colour to wear on my eyes. I wear this look all the time, even though it's not very subtle, it just makes me feel like I have pretty eyes!



I used:
Primark Prime of your Life - In The Pink
MUA Eyeshadow - Shades 4, 9 and 13
Collection 2000 Fast Stroke Eyeliner - Black
Barbara Daly High Impact Mascara - Black

EOTD Totally Turquoise

 I'm so annoying. I want to change the name of this blog again! I'm currently brainstorming ideas. I'm aiming for something original, short and that will give new visitors a bit of an idea of what the blog is about. I really hate the current name, it just sounds wrong to me.



I used:
17 Eyeshadow Solo - Starstruck
MUA Eyeshadow - Shade 8
Front Cover Freeze/Sizzle Palette - Bayou
E.L.F Cream Eyeliner - Black
Barbara Daly - High Impact Mascara

MUA Lipstick Swatches (Shades 2, 3 and 11)


MUA, or Make Up Academy is a budget brand that you can find in most Superdrug stores and every single item costs £1.
They have lipsticks, eyeshadows, eyeliners, mascaras and loads more to chose from. They give the shades numbers rather than names which is a bit boring but for £1 each, you can't expect them to waste money hiring someone to think up imaginative names for the colours.
I have 3 of the lipsticks here to swatch for you.




Shade 3
This a hot, Barbie pink. It's definitely not a subtle colour but good for pairing with understated eyes and will make you stand out in a crowd.


Shade 2
A subtle, plummy pink. This is great for everyday wear but best suited to fair complexions.


Shade 11
This is a great shade if you're craving nude lips. It has a hint of orange but still looks natural and elegant.


These lipsticks wear very well considering the tiny price tag. Just beware of getting left with the lip-liner look as the colour wears throughout the day, it may be a good idea to refresh your application every hour or so.
