Natural Spring Eyes

I wanted to try a natural look for spring and found an old palette that was perfect for helping me to create the look that I was aiming for.

Sorry for the horrid picture, it was REALLY hard to get a good one of my own eye haha

So hopefully you can see that I have a light pink on the lid and then a light, shimmery brown running through the crease. A thick black line, without the standard flick, lots of black mascara and white eyeliner on the waterline to help open up the eye and give it a bright, fresh look.

I really enjoyed experimenting with this look, although it's not that difficult to create, it's something that I wouldn't usefully opt for so I had a great time playing with the pink and the white eyeliner.

Here are the products I used to create this look:

I don't know if you can get this palette anymore but it should be really easy to find similar colours in your favourite brand.

Thank you for reading and I'll see you all again soon :)

Pastel Blue Eyes

I recently read that Pastel Eyes are going to be a spring trend and so I decided to give it a go. The only pastel colours that I own currently are blues in my Chilli Pepper London palette.

Here's the look I created:

With a more pastel turquoise colour on the lid and a darker blue blended through the crease, a thick black line and lots of lovely mascara, I think this is the perfect way to incorporate pastel colours into your look without it being too girly (which you all know by now, I don't like being too girly). 

The blues that I used were: 

As well as a Fearne shimmery loose eyeshadow and these other products: 

I know that this isn't the 'standard' spring look but I wanted to put my own twist on it. 

I hope you like it and I would love to see your take on the pastel trend :) 

Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you all again soon,

7. Which product have you repurchased OVER and OVER again?
   
   It's actually one of the cheapest products that I own but one that I just keep going back to and that is.. Natural Collection's Blushed Cheeks in Peach Melba. It's the only blushed I've found that doesn't irritate my eczema and the fact that it's so cheap is a BONUS!

   When I was younger I bought a Miss Sporty waterproof mascara, it made my eyes water and itch all day. Never again.
