Halloween Special: Pretty in Pink Make-Up Tutorial

Halloween is slowly approaching meaning lots of fancy dress parties wohoo! If you're going anywhere as a princess or Barbie try out this super simple pink look! It's not as subtle as it appears in the pictures, I think the flash must have something to do with that as the eyeshadow actually looks a lot more bubble-gummy face to face. The inner corner colour practically looks the same as the rest but I assure you it's not! If you'd like to see how I did it then click here to see the vid!

Hi beautylicious lurrvs! Excited about getting more use out of my bargainous Amazon eyeshadow palettes, I thought I'd share a FOTD post with you! Conincidently it actually matches my top which I only just realised hehe. The purples and main gold are from the Fraulein palette, my brow bone highlighter was from the Fash palette and my inner eye corner highlighter was from the La Femme palette. 

I applied the gold all over my lid then a light purple in the crease and blended it out. I then layered a darker purple over the lighter purple to intensify and continued to blend. The colour I used on my brow bone was a creamy warm colour so if you've got fairer skin you may prefer to use a lighter colour than that. I tend to opt for highlighters that aren't too light as I feel they don't work as well for my skin tone. Lastly I subtly lined my upper and lower lash line with a shimmery purple and the golds in the corners of my eyes. For my lashes I applied clear mascara as usual on my lower lashes and L'oreal's Volume Million Lashes to my upper lashes.

So there you have it, my purple and gold FOTD. I love it and got a few compliments on it so I'll definitely be going back to this one again in the future! Good vibes and peace to y'all, hope all has been wonderful. See you in Luxe 'n' Lush's next post! xoxo

Outfit of The Day + FOTD with MUA's Going For Gold

I'm back in the UK after being away for quite a while so I hadn't heard of let alone tried any MUA products until not too long ago. How I was missing out, I've been so eager to try out the products and now I've finally got my hands on a few things I love MUA! With a nice price for everything plus decent quality you can't go wrong! I just love the colours of the Going for Gold palette and the Undressed palette is great, so much so I'm not sure whether I'll get Urban Decay's Naked Palette any more. Take note that these FOTD pics were taken at the end of the day and I did not use any eye primer so the eyeshadow's staying power is pretty good for having paid only £3 for the palette (Superdrug deal whoop!)!!

I'm on a spending ban right now so I better not even step inside any Superdrugs or else tottering over to the MUA stand to 'take a peek' will be extremely tempting!

What are your favourite MUA products?

Wishing you a supa dupa weekend! x
