No.38 - Makeup brushes
My favorite makeup brushes
these are my three ultimate go to brushes
1. models own angled brush -
i use this brush for my eye browns, the models own collection are not to be over looked! i have had this brush for about two years and as far as i am aware, there has been no shedding and it is in as good of quality as when new. it is the perfect slimness and just amazing for the eye brown shape i have.
2. Models own Eye shading brush
This is the best all around eye shadow brush i have ever used, and trust me i have used a few! perfect for blending creases and amazing for just pushing on colour. once again never had any problems and cleans up very well.
3. Primark small brush
i got this brush as a present last year and have never looked back. looking at it, it looks cheep and horrible to be quite frank, But the hair are soft and perfect for concealer and cleans up well with no problems.
all of the above brushes are all under £4 ! Amazing huhhh :)

No.36 - January favorites
No.36 - January favorites
Red jeans - versace
i got this in the christmas sale, i needed an everyday perfume for college that i wouldnt mind putting in the bottom of my bag that didn't cost a lot. i found this for £10 in boots and actually i really like the smell.!
Pantene pro-v split end serum
this has saved my life!! smells amazing and leaves my hair and extensions in amazing condition. good alternative to moroccan oil and only about £3
Soap and glory - sexy mother pucker
Leaves my lips soft and plump, use everyday in the morning after foundation, leaving it to soak into the lips before lipstick.
Sleek pallet - storm
my favorite pallet i think. i have used to death and will for a few months ahead.
Scharzkopf hair shine.
Amazing smell and leaves hair glossy and shiny. also helps to repair the hair.
Wilkinson face wipes
its been a bit of a tight month, so i found these 2 for £1. they have cleared my skin up and really make my skin feel healthy. unlike other face wipes i don't feel like my skin is dry after.
let me know if you like the monthly favorites so i know to do them again <3

No.37 - Every day foundation
Everyday foundation
Loreal true match -
this is the lighter to the two main foundations that i use. it has good coverage and really does match to your skin tone.
Revlon Photoready
this foundation is beautiful and 100% give your flawless skin in photos. as i sometimes wear tan and never have the same colour tan (due to layering) i would always look at my foundation and worry that it wouldn't match perfectly. so i brought darker tan colour to mix with the lighter (true match by loreal) foundation. that way i can mix the two colours to order, so to speek.
Side note ...
as these are quite a matt foundations sometimes i want more of a dewy glow. i simply add a small amount of this liquid illuminator by revlon and it gives me a healthy glow

No.35 - colour block makeup
No.35 - Colour block make-up
once again i have used the sleek circus pallet, this time i used the sky blue and white.
1. lightly use the white shadow all over the eyes to create an even base for the blue to sit.
2. using a fluffy brush and the blue shadow, put it through the socket blending lightly.
3. take a small amount of the blue under the eye
4. apply a small amount of black liquid liner to the top lash line and apply mascara
5. for the lips i just used barryM - 145
i love the contrast between the pink and the blue, this would also look nice with pink and green which rihanna has been wearing recently.

No.34 - Orange eyes
No.34 - Orange eyes
I have been going sort of crazy experimenting with my make-up recently. with the cold months and snow i have just been going for browns, blacks and golds, quite frankly Im getting bored of it. Looking in magazines and seeing all of the spring colours and trend coming into shops, i got inspired :)
This was so easy to achieve ! Using the orange colour from the sleek circus pallet, i pushed the colour onto the eye blending to the socket. Thats it for the eyes! simple ey ?
For the lips i used 14-mango tango from collection 2000. using my finger i pushed of the eye shadow onto my lips using my finger. add a clear gloss and you good to go.
This works with any lipstick and eyeshadow combination :)
Hope this gives you inspiration enough to spice up your makeup thing spring... when it gets here.

No.33 - Armor nails
Armor nails
well sort of... they remind me of a shield that a viking would of had or something lol.
How i did them
1. put on some plain fake nails and shaped them, i went for a more rounded shape as i fancied a change
2. using collection 2000 hot looks - 27 wham , painted a few layers till opaque.
3. using nail gems placed them down the middle of the nail on all of the nails, while the final nail varnish coat was tacky.
DONE!
Hope these inspire you to create the armor look without having to buy accessories.
Love Megan x
