Urban Decay Naked 3 vs Makeup Revolution Iconic 3<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Could it be? A makeup post? I think it might just be!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been thinking about doing this post since Christmas (yes it has taken me 6 months to get off my ass and actually swatch some stuff).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My mother in law very kindly bought me the Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Palette for Christmas, and to be honest, I had been eyeing all of the Iconic palettes for a while, as they are supposed to be dupes for the Urban Decay Naked Palettes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The palettes from Makeup Revolution (MR from here onward) are around 10% of the price of the Urban Decay (UD) palettes. Yes that's right! 90% cheaper.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So, down to the comparison. First up, Packaging...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As you can see, the difference in packaging is huge. The UD palette is made of beautiful Rose Gold metal whilst the MR palette is Black plastic with a clear window. The UD is much sturdier and comes with a Good Karma double ended shadow brush and a mirror. The shades also have names in this palette, whereas the MR do not. The MR has no mirror and comes with a sponge tip applicator (does anybody use these?). With such an enormous price difference, you would expect the packaging to be a bit more </span><strike style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">pants</strike><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> lacking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now for the swatches - left swatch is MR, right swatch is UD...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">From swatching these side by side, pretty much all colours are almost identical, the exceptions being; Nooner, Burnout and Strange, where the MR equivalent is slightly lighter in colour.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In terms of pigmentation, I am super impressed with the MR palette, it stands up to the UD well and in my opinion is an excellent alternative for those who don't want to shell out for Urban Decay prices, and I have already recommended it to friends.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Two Years! It has been almost two whole years since I last posted anything - and it's only now that I'm sat with a cup of tea, laptop open, that I realise how much I've missed it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">This post is purely as an update, to show how far I have come in these two years, and to show where I'm currently at.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">I suppose I'll start with the biggest change, and the one that will have the biggest influence on my future posts...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">On December 4th 2015 - after being ill for weeks - I finally bit the bullet and peed on a stick! This was the result. Whilst initially I was filled with panic, this soon wore off and it didn't take long for me to become very excited.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">It hasn't been the easiest time, but I have not had a difficult pregnancy by any stretch. I've had horrendous heartburn and I'm currently at the stage where standing up, rolling over in bed and just general movements have become a struggle - but both myself and my little pickle are happy and healthy, so I have no complaints. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Due to some childhood health problems, I have had extra scans to keep an eye on baby - and I have included the best of the bunch here...</span><br />

Whilst it's been lovely to get extra opportunities to see my little pickle, I panic every time that they will find something wrong. But at yesterdays scan (37 weeks), the doctor has decided that I don't need to be seen again until I'm in labour. YAY :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So that's the biggest update since my last post in October 2014. Since then I've also got engaged, moved in with a boy (expect some posts about the annoying things men do) and finally got a job I enjoy and excel at.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall, my life is pretty darn good right now, and I have grown so much as a person in the last few years - I would even go as far to say that I'm proud of myself. So I'll end this update with a picture of my engagement ring and an updated photo of me (I've had a lot of hair changes).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hey Guys, I know I've been a bit MIA as of late (part of the reason can be found in my previous post), not only have I been dealing with some personal issues, but I have <strike>finally</strike> got a new job.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today just felt like a shopping kind of day. I had saved some money up for some necessities and some little treats and decided that today was the day to get them. So I had a drive into town in my little car and loaded up the back seat with goodies.</span><br />

So for now this post will be my outlet of emotions and explanations and feelings, which if published, will hopefully be of some help to someone. It will be a ramble, and there won't be a structure of any sort, I'll just write when I have something to write.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few months ago I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder, although I had been suffering silently for quite some time. I confided in a few friends, but it didn't really help, as the last thing I wanted was for everyone to tiptoe around me, so I played it down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I began to consider seeking medical help when hearing 'cheer up' all became too much to handle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was suffering from panic attacks more frequently than I cared to admit, and it wasn't until I had a particularly bad one whilst at work that I finally bit the bullet and went to see a doctor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">FYI the single worse thing you can ever say to someone suffering from panic attacks is 'what do you have to panic about?'</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the things i struggle with is not being in control of situations, it puts me really on edge and I get super antsy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My new philosophy on life is that if something doesn't make you happy, then don't so it. So although currently I have no clear path in life, for me that's better than being on the wrong one. I've decided that if something makes me happy, then I don't care what anyone else thinks. It might sound selfish, but I'm putting myself first. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm currently finding comfort in girl time, pampering, chick flicks and wine, as well as learning to drive, which I'm really enjoying.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A bi</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">g thing for me at the moment is learning to love my body. I know I am overweight and i know I can lose weight if I really try, but dieting just doesn't make me happy. So for now, I am focusing on being happy with the way I look at the moment, and wearing clothes that make me feel like myself. It's quite a challenge at times but I'm feeling much better for doing it. Other people can think what they want about my figure, my style, my hair or my makeup, as long as I'm happy then there opinion is redundant. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have recently been taking a break from blogging for a little while, but will do my best to get back to it as soon as possible.</span>J-Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05906200905796202724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039214096312579077.post-9095088890073541402014-08-11T13:28:00.001+01:002014-08-11T13:28:28.335+01:00Wilkos Stippler Foundation Brush<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On a recent shopping trip, I noticed that Wilkinsons had some own brand makeup brushes which I hadn't seen before. They had a very Real Techniques feel due to the colour scheme and I counted 10 basic brushes in the collection.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I only bought one (go me!) to try out, as I really don't need anymore brushes right now. I went for the Stippling Foundation Brush, as I am always looking for better ways to apply foundation to get the perfect coverage and finish.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The bristles on the brush are very long and soft, and not very dense. The packaging claims that it's great for use with liquid foundation and highlighting powders. I've tried this with my Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation and my Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, and I surprisingly prefer it for powder. I found the bristles weren't dense enough for me to get a nice blend and it took much longer than usual to get an even finish. However with the powder, it gave a nice light application as the brush didn't pick up too much product. I'm yet to try this for highlighter as I feel it's too big to get the precise application I like.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For comparison purposes, I took some photos of the brush next to the Real Techniques Stippling Brush.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can see, the Wilkos brush (on the left) is much larger in terms of length and width. The Real Techniques has much shorter, denser bristles. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At £4 this brush is very inexpensive, I did really enjoy it for powder and for those who only want a light coverage from their foundation this might be more suitable. I may try this with a BB cream or perhaps blush to see how it fairs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Have you tried any brushes from the Wilkinsons range?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't normally do fashion type posts, but recently I watched the most amazing lookbook video (which I'll link below) and it really inspired me to think about my style and the sort of things I feel happy and pretty in. So I did a spot of shopping and picked up a few things that I really fell in love with.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really like bright colours but wanted some more subtle options, as opposed to the bright block colour tops I usually wear. I also really like the look of little crop tops with high waisted skirts and trousers. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The skirt, crop tops and kaftan are all from Select. Socks and Accessories are all from Primark.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Online makeup shopping is my new best friend, and my bank balances worst nightmare. Whilst browsing the Superdrug website for a blog post, I spotted a few new items from Makeup Revolution which I just had to try.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These are the Ultra Cover and Concealer Palette Light, and the Ultra Blush Palette Sugar and Spice.</span><br />

Usually this would mean taking a bubble bath and spending more than half an hour in it. But this time I decided to try a few different products to really give myself a treat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Over the course of a few days I tried out two different face masks, some pore strips, a foot pack, and a foot cream.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I apologise for the scary photos of me wearing face masks!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first mask I tried was Tea Tree and Spearmint Pore Cleansing Fabric Facial from Montagne Jennesse. I'm very lazy when it comes to face masks and really can't be bothered to wash them off (unless I'm getting straight into the shower) and my skin is too dry to benefit from most peel off masks. So a fabric mask seemed like the perfect thing for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This smelt very strongly of mint, which I really enjoyed but might be a little overpowering for some people. The mask itself was a very wet piece of fabric, which appears to be made for people with huge faces as the eye, mouth and nose holes were not in very convenient places. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My skin did feel quite nice after using this mask, and it was pretty relaxing whilst on, I would probably repurchase this mask.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The second mask I tried was the Renew You Pure Radiance Hydragel Masque, which claims to illuminate and perfect the skins texture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This felt like there was a goddamn jellyfish on my face! It was so slimy and gross feeling, and pretty difficult to get on as it was so slippy. It comes in two parts which makes it fit the face much better than the previous mask, which was nice. It has a light floral scent, nothing too noticeable or overpowering. Once I got used to the texture it felt nice on the skin, and </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did feel like it softened and hydrated my skin, although I did feel like I belonged in a horror movie when I looked in the mirror.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have never used pore strips before so I was a little unsure to try these. You have to wet your nose for them to work properly, and the first time I didn't do a very good job, but it stuck firmly the second time I tried. Either these aren't very good or I just had really good skin on my nose (which the spot at the side of my nose disagrees with), as it looked clean when I pulled it off, which I didn't expect. I also wanted to scrunch my nose a million times whilst this was on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In all honesty I doubt I'll use this brand of pore strips again, but I will try others to see if I really do have perfect skin on my nose.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really dislike feet! Doing a sport and having a job where I am constantly on my feet has really taken it's toll, and there is more dry skin than those little fishes at the spa can handle, so I got particularly excited at the prospect of a foot pack. These were little plastic booties with a mesh like inside with the cream/liquid in the middle. Upon application, these were super cold and felt really odd and squelchy. But I soon got to used to it and sat with them on fro quite a while, occasionally massaging my feet through the booties. These claim to soothe and soften dry, rough and chapped feet. My feet felt lovely afterwards and I will definitely be repurchasing these by the boat load.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally I followed up with a foot cream from Scholl, which contain Salicylic and Lactic Acid to help break down dead skin. My feet aren't perfect, but they feel so much better than before, after a few more uses I'll be able to show of my tootsies without worrying about unsightly dry patches.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To go with your pamper supplies, I recommend a good bottle of wine (as long as you're old enough) and some cheesy chick flicks, I watched PS I Love You and Dirty Dancing. You don't get much better than that!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This really didn't have much colour at all but it redeemed itself by being ridiculously sparkly, so I will get some use out of this. Perhaps a darker colour would have more payoff. This was £1 on the Superdrug website.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was a little skeptical to buy this mascara, having heard absolutely nothing about it, as I usually go for mascaras which everyone raves about. But nevertheless I wanted to give it a go so I can let you guys know how good a £2 mascara can be.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really dislike the packaging on this, it looks super cheap. The brush is a regular mascara brush, maybe slightly bigger and the formula is a little drier than I normally care for.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the Makeup Revolution Lipsticks. I already have two, but if you read my previous Makeup Revolution post you'll know that I didn't exactly buy wearable colours, so I wanted to try some others.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These colours are so me! 100% Vamp is a deep purple, which looks almost black in the tube and is super dark on the lips. Rebel With A Cause is a beautiful deep raspberry colour which I've worn everyday since I got it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As before these are creamy and very pigmented, with a vanilla scent similar to MAC lipsticks. The only issue I have is the flimsy packaging, as I the lid comes off very easily and doesn't click into place.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These were £1 each so an absolute bargain.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Upon opening this product I was instantly dissapointed, as the website showed this colour as being a black colour, and as you can see it is more of a bronze/beige. This is a mistake on the website and I have emailed Superdrug to let them know.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I do quite like this colour, it's just not the one I wanted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a neutral bronze colour which I will use as a base for neutral shadows. It is a nice creamy texture, but not so creamy that it feels like it will crease easily.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was £3 on the Superdrug website.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall I liked all of the products, my favourites being the lipsticks and the blusher. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used the MUA eyeshadow tint as a base for the Makeup Revolution Pigment in Supreme (with some Savage from UD Electric Palette through the crease). I used the mascara (about 3 coats) and was actually quite pleased with the result. On the cheeks I blended out the baked blush, which was ridiculously bright and pigmented, you only need the tiniest bit. And finally, on the lips i used Rebel With A Cause all over and then used 100% Vamp on the outer corners to add some depth and fullness to the lips.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've recently seen a few of my favourite Youtubers do the Summer Lovin' Tag, so thought I would give it a go. I'll link some of my favourites at the end of the post for you to check out :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The Questions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>What Summer Lipstick are you Loving</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am currently loving nude lipsticks, either Benefit Shy (a new discovery) or Sleek Liqueur. I've been wearing a lot of bright colourful eyeshadow and so a nude lip compliments it perfectly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>What Summer Nail Polish are you Loving</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My current favourite polish is Models Own Flip Flop. The formula is <strike>shit</strike> not very good, but the colour is so bright and summery that I am willing to work with it, but only on my toes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Bikini you are Loving</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't own any bikinis at the moment :( although I have seen a lovely Wonder Woman one in Asda that I have my eye on. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Favouite Frappaccino from Starbucks</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My favourite drink from Starbucks at the moment is the Coconut Mocha Frappaccino. It's so tasty <3</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Favourite Fake Tan</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My favourite fake tan is St Moritz Dark Mousse. It's a nice colour and goes on without streaks when used with a mitt. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Favourite Summer Song</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wilkinson - Afterglow is my current favourite song.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Favourite Summer Accessory </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My new Minecraft style sunglasses from Primark.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Favourite Summer Fragrance</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Soap and Glory Orangeasm is such a refreshing summery fragrance, which as you can imagine, is a super orangey scent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Summer Book you are Loving</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I haven't got much reading done yet this summer as I've been such a busy bee, but I recently finished The Fault in our Stars and I really enjoyed it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>What are you Most Excited to do this Summer</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am most excited to pass my driving test and drive to the Beach whenever I want.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That's it for this tag. I tag all of you so please link your posts/videos below if you do this tag.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As promised, here are a couple of my favourite Summer Lovin' Tag Videos.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made a little impromptu shopping trip today and spent a little too much money on things I do not need (as usual).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Obviously I had to pop into Lush, as I haven't been to the one in my home town for quite a long time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made one purchase (aren't you all proud of my restraint!) although it was pretty pricey for such a small amount of product.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sesame Suntan Lotion - £8.00 for 100ml</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is more than I would usually spend on a sunscreen, but it smells so good that I needed it there and then. It smells like peanut butter and tahini which is just so delicious that I want to lick myself (my friend may or may not have tasted it whilst we were in the store). It only has an SPF of 10, so isn't the best if you're particularly fair or prone to burning, however the label states that it is also effective as an aftersun, so even if you need a higher SPF sunscreen, you can still have a use for this delicious smelling product.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can imagine, I applied this as soon as I left the store and it is surprisingly quick to sink in and isn't greasy feeling at all (which I was slightly worried about if I'm honest). Overall I really like this and the only downside is the price.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now although I only bought one thing, I left with a few more (I promise I'm not a thief) as the lovely Lauren who works there gave me a couple of samples.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She gave me a very generous sample of Ocean Salt Cleanser, which I absolutely love and it smells like Margaritas.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She also gave me a sample of H'suan Wen Hua hair treatment, which I also really enjoy. This is probably enough for one use as I have ridiculously thick hair. It has a really nice spicy scent to it, which is definitely not to everyones taste, but I really like.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Thank you Lauren for being so generous. This is why I love Lush, the customer service is fantastic and I've never come across an employee who isn't super friendly and helpful.</span><br />

How I Got On<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Earlier in the week, I posted to let you all know that I was going to be doing the Electric Challenge, as mentioned by Emily from Beauty Broadcast.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wear my electric palette almost everyday, so part of my challenge was to have a brand new look each day, which I hadn't done before.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I put absolutely no planning into this challenge, I simply opened my palette each day and used the colours I was drawn to, other than the final day, where I used the colours that I hadn't previously used.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Monday</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this look, I used <b>Fringe</b>, <b>Freak</b> and <b>Chaos</b> from the Electric palette. I mixed Fringe and Freak to create a minty teal colour, then blended Chaos into the outer corner. To finish the look I used some colours from the Naked 3 palette to blend, and my Urban Decay Ink for Eyes liner.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this look, I used <b>Thrash</b>, <b>Freak</b>, <b>Savage</b>, <b>Chaos </b>and <b>Urban</b>. I used Thrash on the tear duct, then blended Freak a little further along the upper lash line. Then I blended Savage a little further along, and Chaos to the end of the upper lash line. I then created a wing with Urban. I completed the look by blending <b>Darkheart </b>from the Naked 3 palette along the lower lash line.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here I went for a bit of a frozen vibe, and this is definitely one of my favourite looks from the challenge. I used <b>Revolt </b>along the inner two thirds of the lid, then blended <b>Gonzo </b>along the outer third and into Revolt. I used <b>Chaos </b>on the outer corner, softly through the crease, and along the lower lash line. I finished the look with Urban Decay Junkie Eyeliner.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first colour I used was Half Baked from the Naked Palette. I then blended <b>Freak </b>onto the outer third of the eye and along the lower lash line. To brighten the look I placed <b>Savage </b>into to crease and blended.</span><br />

Finally I blended Slowburn through the crease.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yesterday Emily from Beauty Broadcast posted on Instagram about a challenge called the electric challenge.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The task is to use at least one shade from the Urban Decay Electric Palette every day from Monday to Friday, and by the Friday you must have used every colour in the palette.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought this would be a great challenge for me to try out as I love my electric palette, but find it easy to get stuck in a rut when I find a look I enjoy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have started this challenge today (Monday 14th June) and will post all the looks I created in one post on Saturday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you want to get involved then use the hashtag #electricchallenge on Instagram, and please tag me in them so I can see @jadehadge</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are all Emily's links for you to check out, she is one of my favourite Youtubers and her reviews are so in depth and truthful.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whilst I have nothing to do with my life (explanation post to follow shortly), I have been having a play about with some colours, and it's been so much fun.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think this look has a bit of a regal feel to it, and it has been my go to look as of late.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apologies for the picture, my camera still needs replacing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To create this look I first primed my eyes with my <b>Urban Decay Primer Potion</b>, then I blended <b>NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk</b> on the outer two thirds of my lid and <b>Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 24k Gold</b> on the inner third.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On top of the colour tattoo, place <b>Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow in Stargazer</b> then place <b>Urban from the Urban Decay Naked Palette</b> onto the white base and blend into the gold shadow until the line between the colours is seamless. Next take a clean blending brush and blend through the crease to prevent any harsh lines, then apply a little of <b>Jilted from the Electric Palette</b> and blend out. Above and slightly overlapping Jilted, blend a small amount of <b>Savage from the Electric Palette </b>to create a gradient. Using a small smudger brush, line the lower lash line with Urban, and using the same brush, pack more of the Urban colour onto the outer corner to create depth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ensure everything is blended out with a clean brush and you're good to go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Please tweet me any pictures if you try this look :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's no secret that I love sleek blushers. Their single in Rose Gold goes absolutely everywhere with me (a dupe for Nars Orgasm), and with a light touch Pomegranate gives the most perfect healthy flush. So I decided it was high time I bought myself a little palette.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After much deliberation over which palette to choose, (would it have been too excessive to buy them all?) I went with the CALIFORN.I.A Palette, which consists of three cream blushers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The colours in this palette are; Newport Peach, The Surf, and OC.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(They definitely do not look this smooth and untouched now)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love all three of these colours, they blend beautifully, layer luxuriously, and are super buildable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Both Newport Peach and OC have no shimmer or glitter, whilst The Surf has a lovely sparkle throughout.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Unblended swatches.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wear at least one of these every single day, although I usually blend one of the outer colours with the light shimmery peach in the centre.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If I want my blush to really last I will set this with a powder blush, although it really doesn't need it. To apply and blend these blushers I use a Real Techniques Stippling Brush.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So my love for Sleek continues...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This month I haven't really discovered any new favourite makeup items, at least not enough to warrant a whole post dedicated to them. So instead I decided to share a collection of some of the non makeup related things which have made their way into my favourite products this month. </span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I finally bought myself an electric toothbrush after years of using <strike>shitty</strike> cheap manual brushes and I'm in love. This is the Oral-B Vitality White + Clean, and it cost £17.50 (half price) from <a href="http://www.tesco.com/direct/oral-b-vitality-white-and-clean-toothbrush/204-5573.prd?skuId=204-5573" target="_blank">Tesco</a>. My teeth have never felt so clean, even hours later and after eating they fell squeaky clean when I run my tongue over them. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I really really want whiter teeth, so in conjunction with this toothbrush, I have been using...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">the Oral-B 3D White Brilliance Toothpaste. First of all, this toothpaste is purple, which automatically makes me enjoy it more, but it also feels nice on my teeth and doesn't have an overpowering taste like some other toothpastes. I'm already noticing a slight difference in the colour of my teeth, so fingers crossed they'll be sparkling in no time.</span></div>

It shows the tiniest amount of my tummy and I find it's really flattering on my shape when worn with high wasted skirts or trousers.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First up is this Amaretto Almond Coffee from Beanies which cost around £2.50 from <a href="http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/instant-coffee/beanies-amaretto-flavour-coffee-50g" target="_blank">Sainsburys</a>. Now, I'm not a huge coffee fan usually, but this stuff is damn delicious. It's got a lovely flavour without being overpowering or too sweet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For those times when I don't want a coffee, particularly before bed, I turn to flavoured teas and green teas. This is the best of both, with a subtle caramel flavour this feels like a real treat, whilst still providing all the benefits of green tea. I love settling into bed with a good book or tv show and a nice hot cup of this tea.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now for the alcohol. This is a Porn Star: Vanilla Vodka, Passoa, sugar syrup, passion fruit puree and a shot of prosecco. These are damn delicious, and have very quickly replaced long island iced tea as my favourite cocktail. I tried this cocktail at <a href="http://www.missoulabars.co.uk/missoulanewcastleunderlyme/food-and-drink/" target="_blank">Missoula</a>, which is my new favourite place to go. Lovely food, fantastic cocktails and the staff are really friendly and helpful, and more than willing to chat away to you. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally, my very over talked about book favourite is The Fault in our Stars by John Green. I resisted reading this book for as long as I could, I hate being caught up in other people's book obsessions (with the exception of Harry Potter, my one true love) but after seeing it on sale on Amazon I decided to give it a go. I enjoyed this book way more than I expected (and wanted) to, and I even had a bit of a cry at parts. I will see the film, which I am also expecting to hate, as with every film adaptation of my favourite books (again with the Exception of HP).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This post is much more personal than anything I've written before, and is inspired by the book <a href="http://www.dearme.org/" target="_blank">Dear Me by Joseph Galliano</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At first I thought I wasn't old enough to benefit from this, or even to be able to have noticed any significant changes, until I realised that it had been <b><u>SEVEN YEARS</u></b> since my sixteenth birthday. So although there will definitely be more things to write about when I'm older, I wanted to do this now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b>Dear Me,</b></i></span><br />
<i><b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hows life? First of all, stop worrying about what people at school think. You will give zero fucks about any of them once you leave and you'll make some much better friends elsewhere.</span></b></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b>College on the other hand is fucking awesome. You will meet some wonderful people at every college you attend (yes it's more than one) but I'm not going to tell you to try harder at this stage, that's not how memories are made. You are going to fail some exams, but don't worry, it will work out in the end.</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b>Boys are an unnecessary stress, none of them are worth the heartache, especially one in particular, who isn't worth your time, breath, money or shit. You will know exactly who I mean soon. He won't change, he never will.</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b>Going to Uni will be the best thing you ever do (asides from staying away from the aforementioned male) and it absolutely rocks! You'll have so much fun and make some amazing friends. But when the time comes, do what makes you happy!</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b>So Good Luck, Enjoy yourself and don't worry too much.</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b>P.S don't drink 4 rounds of glitter bombs to yourself ever! It won't end well.</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I apologise that this post is short and may be a little uninteresting, but it's something I wanted to do :)</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">So, this week I made one of the biggest and hardest decisions of my adult life so far...I decided to leave University without doing my final year.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">There are two sides to university life: there's the side where you join societies, make friends and have a jolly good social life; then there is the constant flow of coursework and exams and lectures and seminars, which as you can imagine, isn't quite as fun.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">The whole experience of university (outside if the work) has been absolutely amazing, I've met some of the best people imaginable, done things I'd never have dreamed I'd do and had a very active social life. However, the work side just all got too much and I realised that not only was i struggling to get good grades, I was struggling to be happy. University effected my health quite badly, and after some counselling and some medical help, I realised that a degree really wasn't for me. As soon as I decided to leave, it was like a huge weight was lifted, and friends noticed a change straight away.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">I was dreading telling my family, in particular my Grandad, who has helped me a lot over the course of my 3 years at uni. But I had to do what was best for me, what would make me happy and what would improve my health, surely they would understand? Thankfully, everyone so far has been really supportive, and I am so grateful.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;">Since leaving Coventry, I have spent everyday applying from jobs, and have heard back from a few for interviews. I have no idea where I want to work or what I want to be. But for now I just want to get my foot onto the career ladder, gain as much experience as possible and get myself a nice little flat.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My hair has been to hell and back! It's been bleached to within an inch of its life and not properly looked after (I'm quite lazy). Lately I have been paying much more attention to the state of my hair as I'm really desperate for it to grow. It's been stuck at the same length for about 8 years and this really upsets me, as I want beautiful flowing locks.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I first heard about this line of products (other than my conditioner) from watching a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA5XOltlTtM" target="_blank">Melon Lady Video</a> (Thanks Helen) and I immediately had to check it out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The product name immediately jumped out at me, 'For Hair the Never Grows Past a Certain Length'. PERFECT!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I Originally just bought the treatment to use in the shower, and really liked how it made my hair feel. I then caved and bought the shampoo and the leave in treatment. I am so determined for my hair to grow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So far I really like all the products, my hair feels so damn healthy and soft, and I'm certain that it is growing; my roots are coming through so quickly.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My conditioner is American Cream from Lush, and has been a firm favourite of mine for many years. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lush Says "</span><span style="background-color: #f2f2f2; font-family: helvetica-neue-LT-reg, 'Helvetica Neue Light', Helvetica, Arial; line-height: 32px;"><i>A milkshake-thick conditioner with a strawberries and cream fragrance to leave your hair soft and shiny. Fresh strawberries help cleanse the hair, and are rich in vitamin C. We've added a splash of orange juice to add gloss too, since its acidity makes the hairs' cuticles lie flat and allows it to reflect more light. To top it off, this contains soothing clary sage and calming lavender for your scalp."</i></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f2f2f2; font-family: helvetica-neue-LT-reg, 'Helvetica Neue Light', Helvetica, Arial; line-height: 32px;">This stuff smells so goddamn awesome!!! The scent lingers until I next wash my hair, I'm constantly catching whiffs of it when I'm out and about. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #f2f2f2; font-family: helvetica-neue-LT-reg, 'Helvetica Neue Light', Helvetica, Arial; line-height: 32px;">This also leaves me with super soft, shiny hair, so it's a win all around.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few weeks ago I posted a <a href="http://j-ambermakeup.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/first-impressions-makeup-revolution.html" target="_blank">First Impressions</a> on the products I purchased from Makeup Revolution. So now after using all of the products, I feel I can give my final honest opinion.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The eyeshadows are a miss, none of them has enough pigmentation for me to get a nice look from. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However the brow powders in the palette are actually really nice, I've been using the darker of the two on a daily basis and am actually really enjoying it. It seems to stay put nicely and has just enough colour.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The primer seems to make my shadows last well, but I will be putting it to the test in a post soon, and comparing it to my other primers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The lipsticks are comfortable on the lips and wear relatively well, although for I've only worn them around the house, I'm not quite brave enough to rock a yellow lip outside just yet.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am also really enjoying the concealer. It blends beautifully, is a fantastic colour match for my skin and seems to last relatively well, although nothing will last a busy 9 hour shift.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The highlighter is super pretty, but it is very easy to apply too much and look like a disco ball on crack. If used sparingly then it has a really nice effect.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The shining stars of the collection are definitely the blushers, both the lacquer and the powder. They have awesome colour pay off, blend lovely and last all day, especially when I layer the powder over the lacquer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Overall I am really impressed with the products, other than eyeshadows and will definitely be placing another order soon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do check out my original first impressions post (if you haven't already) for pictures and swatches.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sorry for another Electric post, but I thought it would be nice to share some of my favourite looks using such bright colours. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(Apologies for the photo quality, I need a new camera)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Urban Decay Primer Potion and Perversion Liner was used in all the looks.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9IReLw722DeJAn09b2P4_uNyhs_3V0CJf_xEde4U9e5aq3-0EFWj6TLElpkx-aFrgmpt5r_B9p8PUTKzTuFbM4j0XJmE4OK7M7pOAtLjwcRYmWxvgNMZq78of08Mfj9yjJ1PIqJGEvQ/s1600/1401880605602.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9IReLw722DeJAn09b2P4_uNyhs_3V0CJf_xEde4U9e5aq3-0EFWj6TLElpkx-aFrgmpt5r_B9p8PUTKzTuFbM4j0XJmE4OK7M7pOAtLjwcRYmWxvgNMZq78of08Mfj9yjJ1PIqJGEvQ/s1600/1401880605602.jpg" height="640" width="388" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To create this look I first used Fringe on the outer two thirds of the eye, I then out Freak in the inner third and blended into Fringe towards the centre of the lid. I then took Chaos (my fav!) and blended into through the crease and into the outer corner. I blended Urban along the lower lash line and to finish the look I used a small amount of Revolt in the inner corner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuAD0Ppji3ZMSt8i4pWgaxuTBozqBAXeaSbr9qA8Gp_KYiQ0OYoTAAZE-9rayrLvFDCQK4GTgFOoUchPMyNSEB3lV98DUS3wHuitl5UeN9WcrosdMypYFUkB5vEyqVLTT7WfkJ0p54lA/s1600/Snapchat-20140605124243.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuAD0Ppji3ZMSt8i4pWgaxuTBozqBAXeaSbr9qA8Gp_KYiQ0OYoTAAZE-9rayrLvFDCQK4GTgFOoUchPMyNSEB3lV98DUS3wHuitl5UeN9WcrosdMypYFUkB5vEyqVLTT7WfkJ0p54lA/s1600/Snapchat-20140605124243.jpg" height="640" width="388" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this look I again used Fringe on the outer two thirds and Freak in the inner third. Then I blended Savage through the crease and softly blended upwards with a fluffy brush. With a pencil brush, I applied Jilted in the crease, where Savage and Fringe meet. I finished the look with Chaos on the lower lash line.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMSm4rSQbZBLNQWrYNqySjGFP-FPS-GcSArxIOqfcmqaoNlzcQCj7JSyZTNmeUIrUu-EokyDIcSeDmwZbf3OluKLrxvXXljzTmeE0tUGbazR4AQUIe7E6f8vtixhjqeaQdOFPPlnDWmA/s1600/1402071467180.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMSm4rSQbZBLNQWrYNqySjGFP-FPS-GcSArxIOqfcmqaoNlzcQCj7JSyZTNmeUIrUu-EokyDIcSeDmwZbf3OluKLrxvXXljzTmeE0tUGbazR4AQUIe7E6f8vtixhjqeaQdOFPPlnDWmA/s1600/1402071467180.jpg" height="640" width="388" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This look was a little more experimental, but I really liked the way it turned out. I used Thrash all over the lid, blended Savage through the crease, then used Urban in the outer corner and lower lash line.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM4xSPn3L5wrbpSkNaRJshRAYTvfsxvWFb2l5DMPKqXIWbeHlDaigg2emiG10S8tlXuWH9mRWh5ezYZI5ziEHfWiZ5glPkwV3GHz2QKDuoc_806f1x8lNg-sT7GG22MXmp3XU5I0DBOg/s1600/1402508637981.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM4xSPn3L5wrbpSkNaRJshRAYTvfsxvWFb2l5DMPKqXIWbeHlDaigg2emiG10S8tlXuWH9mRWh5ezYZI5ziEHfWiZ5glPkwV3GHz2QKDuoc_806f1x8lNg-sT7GG22MXmp3XU5I0DBOg/s1600/1402508637981.jpg" height="640" width="388" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally, a more wearable look. I used Half Baked from the Urban Decay Naked Palette all over the lid, I then blended a Black shadow from Sleek in the outer corner and crease. I used Savage to brighten the look by applying it softly above the black in the crease and added another pop of colour by using Chaos along the lower lash line.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope this gave you some ideas of how to wear these colours, and I'm happy to do more if that interests anyone. Also, if you happen to try any of these out then please do tweet me a picture :) @prettyglitter14</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This thing is crazy. It's so colourful and bright, some colours fizz away quickly while others dissolve slowly. And the end result is a deep pink water with a beautiful scent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Peppery, Gingery Citrus scent is lovely and really fills your bathroom with scent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would definitely buy more of these as they're so super fun.</span><br />
