Confession Of A Makeup Addict

If you're a fellow makeup lover, you know what it's like when you see a product you MUST have!
Apparently, lately, I've been seeing A LOT of products that I have to add to my collection.

I've really been trying to test new products lately so most of the above I have never used before but have heard great things about! This includes the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer (not pictured) and the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush.

I am aiming to do a haul video as well as posts on these products, so stay tuned for more in-depth posts and initial reviews!
To see how I use some of these lovely products you can check out my FOTD's on Instagram HERE.

I'm excited to use them all!

Ah the life of makeup lover!

Red She Said Challenge

Whilst having my daily Tumblr browse I came across the most stunning picture of the model Eugena Washington looking absolutely breathtaking.
Now, Eugena is gorgeous regardless but what made her stand out more was her make up.
Just took my breathe away!
The make up in my opinion is just gorgeous.
The highlighting and contouring is evident but not stark which is something that really helps to accentuate Eugena's gorgeous facial features.
I also love how natural this looks, with a gorgeous berry red lip. There's nothing I do not like about this look. 
The MUA Eloy Guerra did a fantastic job here!

After posting this picture literally everywhere Jessica of Look What I Got suggested that we do our own version of this look, so away I went to see if I could recreate this gorgeous work of art.

Now, unsurprisingly, this task was harder than I thought it would be, highlighting and contouring is something that takes a lot practice, especially when you need to make it look natural.

At first I tried to recreate the exact same thing in the picture above but this didn't work out too well, my highlighting looked BEYOND ashy and I just couldn't get my contour to work, so I removed most of the under eye highlight and opted for something a bit more subtle.
In the end it came out ok, I was a bit bummed that I couldn't incorporate the highlighting more but practice makes perfect!
The thing I loved most about this look was the eyes, subtle and shimmery with soft brown liner to create a subtle cat eye.
The lip was also super fun to recreate, it took a lot of different reds to come up with this look as I didn't have a colour deep enough to match the original.

All in all this was a fun challenge and may be one I'll bring to the blog more often!

You wanna know what I used?

Autumn/Winter Makeup Tutorial

Hi lovelies!

I'm back with my second make up tutorial that I am really excited about as it is perfect for this season!
I'm not normally one for 'trends' but I am aware that others do prefer to wear a berry/vampy/dark lip for A/W.

This is a very simple and wearable everyday look making good use of the Wet N Wild Vanity Palette!

Remember you can also change up the lip colour, I normally reach for this look when I'm wearing my infamous red lips!

Grown Woman

Beyonce fever has gripped me!
I like to play like she is just ordinary to me but I always seem to break.
I went to her London concert and had such a good time I'm sure I blacked out for a while.

Her song Grown Woman has had me up and shaking a leg.
The modern Timbaland sound mixed with the essence of an African beat...PERFECT.

Grown Woman has also inspired this look I threw together.
I love the bold lips paired with a smokey eye. 
I used the Wet N Wild Comfort Zone Palette (which I lurrve) for this look which I received from the lovely Jenn from Spiced Beauty in a make up swap!

I know there's the rule of either a bold eye or bold lip not both but you know what?
I'm a grown woman and I can do whatever I want ;)

Vamp

Jacket: ASOS/ Crop Top: eBay/ Disco Pants: Glamorous/ Heels: Primark/
Sunglasses: eBay/ Bracelet: ASOS/
Lipstick: Wet N Wild Vamp It Up & NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Absolute Red
I felt like a BOWSE wearing this despite it being cold.
Initially I put this ensemble together for a styling post but loved it so rocked it out for a bit today minus the heels. You can also find this on my Instagram (@NatalieKayo)
I was cold as hell but at least I looked good in these Glamorous Charcoal Disco Pants...priorities right? I really like these bottoms as they are high waisted so they make my waist look smaller, WINNING.

On my lips I have another new combo: Wet N Wild's Vamp It Up with NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Absolute Red on top.

In life I still feel like I have a lot going on and not a lot of time to do it in but I guess you have to give yourself time to adjust to the real world. 
Sometimes I feel as though I am still in uni mode.
I think I have to find something to look forward to, does anyone else feel that way?

Song I've been loving lately? Press play below!

Nineties


As I sit here shouting at Nicole "I've been hiding my stupidity away for years until now" Scherzinger on X Factor I thought now would be a perfect time to share one of my new purchases.

I've wanted vintage high waisted Levi's for the longest and I managed to snag two on eBay both for less than £25, can someone say BARGAIN!?!
I teamed this one with my ASOS crop top and will probably team with my black Timbs or black heeled sandals.

I haven't had the courage to wear this out, when I drop another dress size then hells yeah!

In case your wondering on my lips I am wearing
Wet N Wild's Vamp It Up & 908C, loving this combo!

Berrylicious



This week has been fulla ups and downs...I am back on the job hunt as my temp job is coming to an end, I was feeling sorry for myself because I did enjoy working there and my contract was not extended but after some time I realised God must have other plans for me so I shouldn't be too sad about the situation...it's just the thought of being unemployed that scares the hell outta me! That added to the arrival of winter and the days getting shorter I've been feeling a bit MEH about everything this week but I'm trying to remain positive! Pay day is on it's way! ;)

This is today's face which I also posted up on my Instagram (@NatalieKayo.)
This face was inspired by a mish mash of YT vids that I had seen by the following talented ladies:
I took the subtle smokey eye from the Charlotte Tilbury and Jackie-O tutorial and the berry lip from Jennie.

I really like this look and I'm loving the brown smokey eye, I will definitely use this again but I'll probably use a lighter base such as a BB cream (all about the Sleek one right now as well as the Skin 79 and Skin Base combo! Two thumbs up baby!)

Stay blessed lovelies!

Lip Service

Nooo! Get your filthy mind out of the gutter!
I'm talking LIPSTICKS people!!!

I recently put in a ridiculous order to Beauty Joint, the reason why it was ridiculous..? 
The sheer amount of lipsticks I ordered, however I tried to rationalise my decision by reminding myself that if I were to shop at MAC I would be spending a hell of a lot more. 

That keep my conscious clear....for about an hour until I realised I still wanted several lippies from MAC...anyway I digress.

I decided to purchase several Wet N Wild Mega Last Matte Lip Cover lipsticks as I had heard nothing but good things about them. 
When I tried them on I was pleasantly surprised (baring in mind I scored these for £1.74 each) at their quality. 

The lipsticks are described as the following...ahem:


"This 4-hour, longwearing lip color leaves a semi-matte, crème finish in one stroke. Glides on easily with rich, velvety color that doesn't cake, feather, or bleed"


The description does say it all, the lipsticks are not matte, (farrr from MAC matte) in fact they are very nourishing and pigmented but not sheer. 
 Despite this they are long lasting, I had a hard time getting the swatches off my hand and the pigmentation off my lips.

I brought the following:
I love all of these lipsticks!
They all work so well with my skin tone, even Vamp.
Can't wait to rock them all!
(BTW I'm wearing Sleek BB cream in Medium for these pics, LURVVE it)

Out of my haul my favourite product was an Xtreme Lip Cream by NYX! 
Crazily pigmented but moisturising and not sticky at all!
Which one do you like? 
And can you recommend more colours?
I will definitely be purchasing more!

The rest of my haul will be up in my next post!
Mwah! ;)
