Kylie Jenner Makeup Look



The Kylie Jenner makeup trend is taking over everything at the moment and has even brought back the 90's style of makeup - dark brown/pink lips. I took my own twist on Kylie's classic makeup look, adjusting the eye liner to my eye shape and trying my best to create that 'Kylie' lip colour.

REVIEW & SWATCHES: MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Lacquers

During a recent shop in Superdrug, I came across the MUA section. If I'm completely honest, I have never taken an interest in MUA products before but they had a couple interesting things on show, in particular these lip lacquers!
Seeing the world 'velvet' and the fact that they were a liquid lipstick instantly reminded me of the Limecrime Velvetines, a type of product that loads of companies are producing at the moment. The lip lacquers were in a fancy packaging which caught my eye, with a sleek black and gold colour scheme and a variety of amazing shades. From nudes to reds to bright purples, there's a shade for everyone and I'm tempted to buy them all...
Left to Right: 'Atomic' and 'Halcyon'

Exclusive Meet and Greet with Zoella

I happened to be one of the few lucky people to be selected to personally meet Zoella! In case you don't know who she is, she is basically the biggest and most successful British vlogger and blogger to date, as well as one of the biggest in the entire world. I entered the competition online from one of Zoe's twitter posts and a month later, I received the email saying that I won!
