€20 MAKE-UP CHALLENGE - S/S'14 TRENDS - COLLABORATION WITH BEXTACYBEAUTY

I had lots of fun doing a collaboration with Beauty Guru BextacyBeauty over on YouTube. We decided to do the €20 make-up challenge following current Spring/Summer make-up trends. The purpose of the challenge is to complete a full face of make up using products with the combined total of €20. For the main theme of our looks we went with S/S '14 trends. Word on the street is that blues, purples and golds are all in this season. Bold brows, winged liner and coral lips are also in.

I decided to go with the blue trend and used the On Cloud Nine trio palette by Wet n Wild to achieve the look below. I was also able to use this palette to fill in my brows which was an added bonus.

Products I used:

NYC Skin Matching Luminizer foundation in Fair €4.49
NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder in Sunny (????)
NYC Creme stick blush in Big Apple Blush €3.49

NYC High Definition separating mascara €2.99
Wet n Wild Trio Eyeshadow palette on On Cloud Nine €4.49
Essence Colur & Shine eyeshadow in Simply Me €1.00
Essence Ballerina Backstage Lipgloss in On Your Gracile Tiptoe €1.99

Iv'e left the prices above for you and the total is €18.45. You might notice I have no price for the Bronzer, for the love of god I can't find the price anywhere! So in total I say I just went over the €20 mark but I'm still delighted with the look I achieved. I've never played with light blues like this before because I just love my purples and browns. I really liked how the look turned out.

Check out Beckys look below. Becky did a stunning purple eye look using some fabulously affordable products. I think the UK market as more to offer in the way of make-up products compared to Ireland. After watching her video I'm thinking of flying over just to save on make-up haha!

Thank you for stopping by and as always thank you for your support. Be sure to check out our collaboration looks and subscribe if you haven't already.

Love,

Casual Spring Outfit - Beaming Buttercup

Hands up who's loving the sunny weather at the moment! I love early spring because I start living in dresses again. I wore this yellow buttercup dress from Dorothy Perkins over the weekend and boy did it feel good. I paired it with stretch denim leggings from Penneys and a navy lace blazer from Next. The dress itself is a little too short for me to wear with bare legs just at the moment so I like to wear leggings or skinny jeans underneath. It's sleeveless with buttercup print and open back detail. I adore this blazer from next and I'm kicking myself that I didn't get it in other colours when it was in store. Sunny weather make us feel happier and I think bright clothes do too. What do you think? Can clothes change the way we feel?

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend and look forward to sharing outfits I wear in the future with you. Would this be something you would like to see more of? Let me know in the comments below.
