Autum/winter makeup look

This look is a look that I would wear everyday but it is a bit more full on than others. It might niit be for  everyone but I personally like it and hope you do too. The same as any other look I write about it is yours to change and use how you like this is just how I do it.  It is less natural and more sleek so you could wear   it on a night out if you are that sort of person.

Concealer and foundation as usual and some finishing powder some people use it at and not at this stage hens the name "finishing" but I think it works well at this stage of the makeup.

Then for the eyes I did back winged eyeliner but it could also look good purple. Then  I did kind of a very slight smoky eye look. by smudging dark purple from the outer corner going up and in. And some white on  the brow bone and inner corner of the eye. You can mix and match with colours how ever you want it is just to match  the lipstick also purple goes well with blue eyes. And no  look is finished without mascara.

The eyebrows in  this look are darker than  I would normally do but the whole look is quite dark.

cheek wise I didn't use blusher but I did use then hoola bronzer for contouring the cheekbones.

Finally the lips I used a berry lip I actually can't remember which lipstick I used it was either Rimmel Kate Moss in 107 or Max factor both are very nice colours. If like me you don't have a berry lip liner then you can just take a black eyeliner and line your lips with that so when you put the colour on top it slightly smudges in and creates a lovely effect. You could add a gloss on top but I quite like it matt.

You could also do this with a traditional red lip that too would look lush. I have a couple  of redsone of which is also a Kate Moss and that is really good. Tanya burr has a limited addition lipgloos that is red and sparkly. Perfect for Christmas!

One reason why I love autumn and winter is that I wear  so much  more makeup. Because in summer it just slides off or feels so heavy.  Thanks for reading and  i'll see you in my next post!

Chrsitmas present ideas

MERY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Ok I know it's not quite Christmas yet but I am just very excited. I love presents I don't just love receiving them (which I know many people do), but I love giving them too and seeing the expression on peoples faces when they open them. but some people are harder to buy for than  others.

Mothers:

This might not apply to all mothers but I know mine would love it and I know many others that would. So you want something to say thank you for all you have done for me (don't  forget to write that in the card). In  my opinion something to relax them is great. Plus it means they are in a good mood. So a bath bomb or set of nice smelling bath or shower things. They  aren't  always that expensive so that's good. TK max always has some really good deals on things like that.

If you really know what she likes then  you could get her a handbag or shoes but that's only if you really know what type she likes and you have  the  budget for it.

Unless she has showed you a jumper or something that she really likes and you know what size she is I would avoid byiing her clothes. If you its too small she will feel fat and if it too  big you will offend her and  make her think you think she is massive and we don't want that.

Fathers:

I personally find this one the hardest. But most fathers like a  good beer but if you are under the age of 18you can't buy that for him. Little funny novelty things are always cute and give a good laugh when he opens them on the day. If  you are looking for stuff like that then sites like http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/ are really good.

If  you know what hobbys he is interested in thenn that's a good idea. For example my dad likes cycling so I could always get him something to with that.

I would avoid man bags because  not all men  like them or they can be  very particular about what bags they carry. I also wouldn't go for anything  too pink.

People you don't really know:

This might  be for people you feel obliged to buy for or if you just have no idea. Get the a voucher! they re so easy and simply then you can't really mess up and they can buy what they want. Obviously don't buy your dad  a Superdrug voucher they have to kind of be suited to what that person likes a little bit.

Want to do something personal:

This is for the people that no matter what you get them it won't do. You need something a little more personal. You could buy a photo album  and half fill it with pictures of the two of you together doing different things. Or another one is to write a very personal letter or more than one for  them to write bout at different times like when they are sad or bored or whenever. little personal things like tem people appreciate a lot more because it shows you spent time and thought on it.

Family:

something to bring the family closer together is a board game. or card games are good too. Its just good fun and worth however much you pend on it which is usually not much. You  can get them from anywhere and everywhere. You could stick to the traditional things like Monopoly or look for more new games. Or even quiz games can be  a good laugh.

Girlfriend:

Most girls  would like the typical things on Christmas like chocolate and a cute card. But some might want a little more than that like a well thought out one.  Maybe a cute planned out date to somewhere she loves. Jewelry may be a winner.

Do not buy her a voucher! that is the one  time you can not do that.  she will not appreciate tht it doesn't have to be anything big and expensive. Just something special.

Ok so thanks for reading my post I hope it helped you out in any way! My Christmas count down is currently happening so please check that out. http://jomilybeauty.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/count-down-to-christmas.html I hope you have an amazing Christmas and you get as good presents as your giving.

Mascara review

Hello there!
Fancy staying a while and having a read?

So today I am writing about mascaras! In my opinion the most important makeup  piece of them all. If you haven't got mascara or are not happy with the one you've  got or just  would like to  know more then keep reading. If you really  couldn't care less about mascaras then why not check out one of my other posts. I don't just do beauty but I do kinda have  a lot f beauty things. Any way on with the post...

 So the first mascara I ever had was actually a rubbish one so went won't talk about that... The second one I had was from Maybelline it's a classic, it is the Falsies. So many people rave about this and I agree with them it is really good  and drug store therefore it won't break the bank. It really does open your eyes up and make them look bigger. You can get this from Boots or Super drug, currently £7.99.

The next one on my list  is also from Maybelline that is there Rocket volume in Water proof. This one is a savior. If your like me and have blonde eye lashes then you know what  I mean. I look like a leopard without its spots. I live in Cornwall and consequently i am always in the sea. Not good for panda eyes. But this mascara cling and clings and clings to your lashes. Pure magic. That too is  only £7.99   from boots.

(The picture will not load)

This one is my favourite one EVER! that might sound a bit crazy because it's only mascara but once you have trued this you will love it as much me. I'm just going to hurry up and say the name... They're real by Benefit. I love Benefit they are my favourite brand at the moment and this mascara is part of the reason  why. It defines separates and volumises lashes. The only problem is that it costs almost £20 but in my opinion it's worth  it.

This following one may seem like  a  bit of a let down compared to the last one but it's  ok because this is more affordable for people who are on a bit of a budget or just do not want to spend that much on a mascara. It is by 17 and it is the va va voom waterproof. It isn't all that  it claims to be because it is not 100% waterproof but it is sweat and drip proof I will give it that. I just really liked it because after a hard day at work or school you end up with mascara dripping down your  face or at least I do. And with this mascara it doesn't budge. I actually got it on offer for £4 but the original price was around the £7  mark.

Now this one was a let down but i the price said it all it was a cheapy and it showed. It was just a miss sporty mascara that didn't impress me at all nor did their  water proof one.

Also  can i just say that i recommend any of the Maybelline ones not just the falsies. I also thoroughly enjoyed  the mega plush and go colossal and so many more to many to list. Don't just go for the one that everyone talks about try out a couple and see which is the  best for you.

The final one i have written about before in  a post that i will link here: http://jomilybeauty.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/rimmel-kate-moss.html  it's just the Rimmel kate moss mascar i loved it for a long, long  time and you can get it in  4 different shades  I have it in jet black  I also think the brush is really cool.

Ok so this was quite long and I probably droned on  a bit but thank you so so much for reading it means a lot good bye and I hope to see you soon.
