Mac Quad Palette

I thought it was about time I shared my Mac Quad eyeshadow palette with you, as this is a pivotal part of my makeup bag and it never leaves my side, I use this palette most days and every time I go out.

Im going to go through the colours and what I use them for individually, but first I wanted to explain why I chose these colours in particular. If you're not familiar with Macs eye shadow palette's then its pretty simple, you pick the 4 colours you want and they get put into one amazing palette. I picked these colours as it allows my the flexibility to do both a brown and black smokey eye.

1. Shroom- this is one of favourite Mac colours, its a nude shimmery base colour, perfect for a natural look by itself in the day but also an essential for the inner corner and building with darker colours to create a smokey eye and contouring.

2. Bronze Down- This is a shimmery slate grey colour and I love it, it is perfect if you really want to work in blacks and create a really dark smokey eye, I either use this on the outer corners or all over the lid and use a black blended in on the outside.

3, Coppering- This is probably the colour I use least because its quite strong colour that you have to be in the mood to wear, however when I do wear it I get so many compliments. It's my go to colour if I want to do something quite different or am feeling adventurous with my makeup.

4. Bronze- I love contouring with this colour- its such a beautiful golden brown and its the colour I use most when I want to create a  brown smokey eye, I would say its my standard evening eye shadow. I feel a bit lost if I don't have this to hand when I'm getting ready to go out.

Another Mac colour I love that isn't in this palette is Woodwinked, It's a lovely gold colour that I wear during the day time, and once blended in the corners it gives the effect of a darker colours on the outside. Check out the Mac's website to make your own palette.

I'm sorry my style diaries didn't go up, my camera had a bit of a melt down and I lost all my pictures, along with starting a new job its been difficult to get things back up and running but I'm back in action now, so expect lots more!

New & Old

Hey guys,

So I thought I would share with you the new products I have been loving, but also the old products I have fallen back in love with. I went through my makeup collection and bought out a few products that I haven't used for ages but still love!

Old Faves-

Nars LoveJoy Bronzer- This bronzer  is quite different from any other bronzers I have, firstly its very shimmery and I normally wear matte and secondly its very dark and mine are normally slightly lighter. But I love this bronzer, its amazing at contouring and looks great. Its a staple product in my makeup bag for the winer.

Rimmel Match Perfection loose powder- I have been using set powder for a while now but recently my skin has been feeling slightly more oily and I felt like I needed something slightly heavier. So I re discovered my love for this translucent loose powder from Rimmel that I used  for years. It sets my foundation so well and really leaves the skin feeling smooth and matte!

New Loves-

L'Oreal nude lipstick- L'Oreal has recently launched a new range of nude lipsticks inspired by celberites such as Eva Longoria (which is the colour I bought), I love it!! I'm a big fan of nude lipstick for the day time and this one lasts on the lips for ages! I would defently recommend any of these shades (I think there is 4) as your autumn go to lipstick.

L'Oreal Skin perfection serum- This product was on my wish list last week, and I was so excited to try it and . . .  I love it. I use it under my moisturiser in the evening and on its own in the morning before I apply my makeup. My skin has felt smoother and i have to say its appearance has improved. I'm really impressed with this product and will continue to use it.

My style diaries starts on Monday evening- so keep an eye out!
