arden rose beauty blue colourful make up make up look make up of the day urban decay

I'm blue da ba dee..

Tuesday, 21 March 2017



 Lately, I've found myself admiring Arden Rose's blue eye make up in her Instagram story one day, so I decided to pop some blue eye shadow on myself and see how it looked. Personally, I love how it turned out - I felt great the entire day I wore this, I think this may be a go-to look for when I fancy being a little more colourful with my makeup, especially now Spring is coming around.

Here's everything I slapped on my face to create this looks:

Marc Jacobs Coconut Primer
Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able Foundation in Ivory
Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in Ivory
Marc Jacobs Re(marc)able Concealer in Awake (similar linked)
Marc Jacobs #Instamarc in Mirage Filter
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Luminous Light
Clinique Blush in Pink Love
Maybelline Master Brow Pro Palette in Soft Brown
Urban Decay Full Spectrum Palette shades Metamorphosis, Blindsided and Minx 
Tom Ford Eye Defying Pen
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
Estée Lauder Lipstick in Venetian Rose (discontinued, sorry!)

This look also features in an upcoming video of mine, so subscribe to my Youtube Chanel if you're interested in seeing that!

What do you think? I love experimenting with different colours in my make up!

blue lottie london nail polish nails peace out

Blue Nails.

Monday, 26 September 2016
As I browsed the shelves of Superdrug, I found a nail colour kept catching my eye - it was the beautiful cobalt blue, the nail polish is question was the shade Peace Out by the brand Lottie London. As it was unlike any other shade in my much too large nail polish collection and it was only £2.99 (originally £5.99 but had been reduced), of course, I had no second thoughts popping it in my basket. However somewhere in the back of my mind, I found myself thinking I'm probably not going to wear this too much, it's a bit of a statement colour, no wonder I don't already own something similar. I had put this nail polish buy down to being in a bit of a strange mood, that I felt like making a statement with my nail colour (I know, it's just a blue nail polish it's not that big of a deal, but what can I say, I'm an over thinker). When I applied the  colour, I realised strange mood or not, I was attracted to the colour, because, guess what? I like the colour. My strange mood didn't have all that much to do with it, although I expect it will be a colour which is reapplied when a similar mood strikes.
When I got home I excitedly painted my nails. The colour applied evenly and it just needed two fine coats to cover the nails completely. 
Once my nails were painted, that was it, I was in love with this nail polish. There's a slightly purple tinge to the blue colour, and the colour sits somewhere between being dark and bright. The shade is neutral enough that it can be practically worn with any outfit but slightly unconventional so that it would also add a subtle statement to an outfit. 
At the low price, I didn't anticipate the longest wearability for the nail polish, however, with a good top coat, there was nowhere near as much chipping as I'd expected, it lasted a good few days before the chipping began. Of course, as the shade is far from the most subtle colour when the chipping did start, it looked awful and I had to either touch up or  removed the colour.

Overall I'd definitely recommend this nail colour is fancy picking up a new shade, I think this colour is beyond beautiful (and almost matches my bathroom tiles exactly - that's always a plus, isn't it?). The quality is great considering the low price point, and I think my nails look pretty cool.

What do you think of this colour?
