Halloween- Dead Army Nurse

I thought I'd share my Halloween costume with you today! I went for the easy route out and decided to really play up the make up. I had an army nurse costume already so thought I'd make myself a zombie one! I found a few zombie tutorials (this one being my favourite- LINK) and just followed them.

I used this make up palette from Morrisons which worked okay. I wouldn't recommend it, separate tubes of face paint seem to work better than palettes like this. It was only £2 though so I'll forgive it

I thought the look turned out really spooky. There were a few mishaps (as always with me!) but I loved it. I went out with my housemates to our student union and it was such a good night!

MUA Undress Me Too palette

Hey!

This post isn't a review, more of a 'I bought this and thought I'd share it with you' one. 

From left to right: Corrupt, Obsessed, Wink, Naked, Devotion, Shy, Fiery, Lavish, Dreamy, Tranquil, Exposed, Reveal

Sorry for the photos, I didn't realise they were dark until after swatching!

Another product picked up for my sisters prom look (as well as for myself, as I get to keep it afterwards!), I thought these eye shadows would be perfect for the look. This palette has been said to be a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked palette so i was quite intrigued by it, despite not owning the UD one.

This palette has neutral creams and browns in it with one black. There are nine shimmer shades of varying shades of cream, taupe and brown and three matte shades. I think this palette has a good range of colours and the colour pay off is good for the price. There are a couple of dud colours like Lavish and Reveal, no attempt of building up could make these colours come up on the swatches; especially Reveal which shows just the tiniest shimmer at the end of the line. I picked up this palette from my local Superdrug for £4, so despite the duds I still think its worth a try! The bronzier colours being more pigmented.

My favourites are Shy, Fiery and Obsessed. Have you got this palette? What are your favourite shades?

Soap and Glory "Tricks of the Shade" Review

Hey!

Today I'll be reviewing the Soap and Glory "Tricks of the Shade" Eye Palette for you!

This eye palette comes with a double ended brush and a "Supercat" liquid black eyeliner pen. I love Soap and Glory packaging on a whole with its vintage pictures and quirky sayings. This particular palette is in a strong cardboard case which includes a very large mirror on the inside. Its not really travel friendly (e.g. can't throw it in your handbag) however at home or if travelling for a long time, the mirror is perfect.

I like the eye liner pen. I use it when I've put on eye shadow and don't want eye shadow all over my normal eye liner. It's a jet black and the pen makes it very easy to apply, especially as I'm really liking winged eye liner again

 My favourite shades have to be Wild Blue, Dandy Plum and Minky.

However I do have some criticism of this shades. I find that the colours aren't highly pigmented meaning you have to put on quite a lot for them to show. I prefer using my own brush as the brush supplied tends to eat the eye shadow so you're having to use even more.

I think they'd work a lot better with a primer which I didn't use when I wore them.

I would recommend this palette to anyone who has the patience to build up the colours as they really are gorgeous shades.
