So the other day I finally used my 120 Pro Palette which im in LOVE with and have had it a while but haven't really used it for anything.
I really liked the way I did my eyes, so I thought I would show you all. 
I used a shimmery brown to cover the lid, crease and up to the brow and slightly outwards. I then got a blending brush and blended this in so it didnt look so harsh. I then applied a matte light brown to the inner corner of my eye, to the middle of my lid, applying this with a fluff brush, which slightly blends it, but doesnt get rid of the pigmentation. After this, I applied the bright coral color, using a blending brush, because I didnt want it strong, I wanted a light coral, but strong at the same time if this makes sence. 
I then used my Barry M wink eyeliner pen for definition and used a pencil eyeliner on my bottom waterline for an outline, I then slghtly smuded it so it faded. I used Natural Collection black mascara and away we go.. Just a simple look!

Just a little 'what I bought' here.
I was having a little walk through Town with Mum on Tuesday and we popped into Peacocks, I adore this shop because its affordable and I have my eye on some nice wedges too in there! Haha!
So, they had a little Jewlerry sale on, which, they normally have.. Zofia loves these!
I bought these for £1.75 each, I think this is an amazing price seeing as they were £3.50 to start with. 
They're a matching set, but didnt come together. 
As you can see, pastel/duck egg blue, leopard and metallic gold are the colors included, I think thse go well together and look pretty, I think these will go with quite a lot and are really casual. 
So, I just thought Id share!

Sorry I am SO behind! Been busy, new camera etc and there hasnt been much to post about, but, there is now, so so so much to show you!
Ill even post some Camera pics up soon.
So, these were last weeks nails, no YouTube video this week, sorry.
In used my LA color nail polish from Beauty Base in Westfields and its actually really good for the price it was. It doesnt chip but without a clear coat on the top, it can feel chalky and so you do need a clear coat. 
White nail paints are always difficult in my opinion, so you will need a second coat so they dont chip.
I added black, zebra like lines to the nails for effect and detail, these look good with a steady hand, and look nice for occasions etc, if you have Nail Art pens. 
I hope you like this look! More posts to come, been busy!

Right, last of the haul!
Primarkkkkkk!
These are the things I got. Didnt get a lot, spent £32.
I didnt want a lot, ill be going to London again soon anyway.. second home! 
First, Ill talk about the top. This is a simple brown top with photography/polaroid/film type pictures on the front. I really like this because I can tuck it in with my brown polka dot shorts this was £3.. 
Next is the blue shirt on the left. I love this! Its a color block shirt and I already have the nude/mint green one. Its dark blue collared and the top part is light blue. Then the bottom half is stripy this was £4.50. 
The next one is socks! These are really soft and come in different patterns.. £2.50.
The next item is a pair of black/white floral shorts. These are a thin cotton and they're lovely and light. These are £10 and are really pretty.
The next thing is a navy blue, lacy style top. I love the collar part and the whole top is just loely altogether. This was £6.. amazing!
The last thing is amazing, a zebra print maxi dress. I love this and ive tried it on, it looks so good and is perfect length. It comes with a hot pink belt which really separates the pattern. This was £10.. amazing really!
Hope you enjoyed my haul.

Last on the makeup that I bought and the first thing from Primark to show you.
False lashes! I dont use these often but I thought I would get myself a pair, as, these were £1 and I really liked them. They looked very natural!
They're actually very gluey when you first take them off the plastic, didnt expect this, I expected them to be very.. rubbish? But no, they're good!
I havent put them both on, I tried one of quickly and they actually look really pretty. Ill post a picture when I apply them.. probably Saturday.
They also had a thicker pair, very black, but they're for next time!

So, the next thing/s I bought were, nail polishes!
I can NEVER go shopping without getting some haha, im lethal!
I got, LA colors color craze in Treasure Island and Energy Source. I needed a white nail polish and I couldnt resist this sparkly blue color.
They go well together so I might do a white bottom color and add this blue on the top, im not quite sure. 
These are 99p from Beauty Base. At the back of the store is where they're located and there is a whole big rack of them! Every color!
For the price, they're amazing! 
I admit, I didnt expect them to be good, but they are!
These will be applied soon! Stay Tuned!

Now, moving on to what I bought from London. 
First, Ill post the makeup bits&bobs.
The first thing is this. The LA Color Baked Eyeshadow quad. This was £2.99 from Beauty Base  in Westfields. As you can hopefully tell my the swatches, this is amazing! Its so pigmented and I think it will go on really well, I havent applied it yet.
From top L-R and on my hand, R-L.

  • A light grey color with a white marble effect. I like this because its light & shimmery and would look nice for daytime. You can also create a two toned look with this because of the 2-in-1 color.
  • Next one is a sorbet/candy pink. I really like this because its a light, girly, shimmery pink. It looked very light like it wouldnt go on, but, its actually very pigmented. Good for daytime!
  • The third one along is a lighter grey. It looks like a blue/grey but, its just really light. 
  • The last one is my favourite grey of the quad. Its quite dark, but, shimmery and has a really nice effect to it. 
These look like they would blend well and could be used all in one. I really like the cheapness, but quality. Beauty base is amazing anyway! http://www.beautybase.com/
I went to London last weekend, and, this is the makeup I wore.
For my face, I added Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation in 100 Ivory. This is £6.99. I used my Natural Collection Loose Powder £1.98 to set the foundation and to make it matte, I have oily skin. I then added bronzer, Chit Chat, £1. This is a mosaic, I love this! Its handy for your makeup  bag too.
For my eyes, I applied Primark Dazzle Dust. This was 4 dazzle dusts for £1. These are AMAZING! They're so pigmented and are so shimmery, I love! I appied this as a base, this is the lighter color of the set. I then added MUA Brown Dazzle Dust, I dont know the shade but it will be obvious when you purchase it.. £1. I applied this in my crease and outer eye, so its light-dark. I then got my Maybelline Gel Eyeliner - £7 to line my eyes, I love this.. its an everyday favorite. It doesnt last all day on my bottom waterline, but lasts all day on my eyelid which i need most anyway.
For my mascara I used Models Own mascara in Black, which, I got free with Fabulous. After, I used Maybelline Colossal Cats Eye £5.99. I love the wand of this because it fans my eyelashes out perfectly.
For my lips I then used MUA shade 5 lipstick £1. This is more like a lipbalm or something because its unpigmented and very glossy and shimmery. Its good for on the go, but, because its not pigmented, I added Barry M glossy tubes in Light Pink color which I got free in BUZZ, over the top.. perfect look!
If you would like a tutorial, you know where to message.

This is the outfit I wore for London at the weekend. I also teamed it with a nude color vest top, but thats in the wash and this post REALLY needed doing! 
I wore a nude/fleshy color loose blazer/jacket and a polka dot chiffon skirt. The only problem with this outfit was the wind! Oh dear!
I I added a lot of bracelets/bangles because this looked really pretty. I added the red,silver&gold one that I got for my 15th birthday last December and my £5 primark watch bracelet. I added my New Look bracelet which I got for Christmas too. Then, my blue/gold bangle from New Look, which I have already told you about. 
My skirt - £14.99 New Look.
My Blazer/Jacket - £15 Primark.
Shoes - £8 - Primark.
These are my Nails for this week. I did them last Friday for London. I decided on polka dots because they matched my outfit and decided on the pastel colors because they also matched my outfit. I love Barry M and the brown & mint green colors are my favorites. 
These colors matched really well and as you know, I love Barry M's because they dont chip quick and they're not gloopy. I really liked these!

If you watch my YouTube videos, you will know that last Wednesday/Thursday, I went shopping. I didnt get LOADS, I just got a few little sale things, and things I liked.
I thought I'd share them all with you, seeing as I did on my YouTube.
I lost one of the things when I took this - a Nude color vest top - I have now found it, so I will post a picture tomorrow. 
So, in picture 1, you can see all the products I bought, the NYC Nail Polish & Eyebrow Pencil you already know so I wont review them again, its just boring.
Picture 2 being the price tags, thought this would look good on the picture so I added them in, nothing special.
Picture 3 being, the Bangle I got. I love this! Its quite different to the Bangles or Bracelets I already have, so I picked this up from New Look on a sale shelf. I thought it would be more than £0.50p on the sale, but it wasnt, 50p for sure! I love the design, the fact its Duck Egg Blue/ Pastel Blue, with a gold, brassy type color patterned on. Its not a small, detailed pattern, just a swirly shape all round. Inside is a brassy gold shade, no pattern here. It fits well and goes well with the skirt. 
Picture 4, as I just mentioned, the skirt. I actually love this, in the picture it doesnt look very good, but, skirts are really in trend at the minute. This is a  chiffon type material, if you know what chiffon is, its like them very loose shirts that are in trend at the minute. Its very thin and loose for hot weather, it has an elastic waist so it fits me perfectly. Its a polka dot pattern as you can see. It caught my eye in New Look and was £14.99. It goes well with the vest I got and a nude blazer that I have. Ill be wearing this for London! 
Picture 5, you should know if you read/watched my review of them, if not - http://www.youtube.com/user/littlemisspradaxo.
Picture 6, I love these! So, so different to what I usually wear or buy. These are actually so light its unbelievable! I thought they would be very heavy, but they're not. They have a beaded type design to them and are a gold & black & white color. I think they'd go with a maxi dress of the same shade and would look nice for summer too. Not much to say on these, I havent tried them on! £0.50p.
Picture 7, I LOVE these so much! So different to what I usually buy too. They're a gold color (I see a theme?!) with a little diamante in the center. I think they're floral design, I dont actually know. They're really heavy but look so pretty in and would go well with the skirt. Perfect for summer aswell, which is good if the sun decides to say hello! Amazing for £0.50p!
Hope you all enjoyed this mini haul, im sure i'll have a lot more goodies to haul on Monday, after London, too!

Okay so about.. 2 weeks ago I did this look.
I wasnt going out or anything, just sampling some makeup I have that I didnt even know I had! ..sorting out!
I want to just tell you, if you like this, how I created them. 
'Red Lipliner Lips'.
I saw this on a YouTube video before.. about two years ago. I was looking through my makeup and spotted a red lipliner I havent used in AGES and it created this look well.
So, instead of going on, Ill explain how it was created. I might even do a YouTube video on this too.. maybe.

  • I got my red lipliner (Just a plain red, nothing dark, nothing pale), and pouted my lips so the Cupids Bow was even more visible. I have very 'pouty' lips anyway, as you can see, Im not even pouting here, this is just the natural shape of my lips. I made the cupids bow more visible and lined my lips with the lipliner. 
  • Try and do the line quite thick, this is what I did. 
  • Then, you'll start to see a red outline with your normal lip. 
  • After this, get a lipstick in the same sort of shade as your lipliner. This COULD be a little lighter than your lipstick, nothing darker though because you do need them to match.
  • After you have found a color nice enough, fill your lips in with this shade.
  • Coat your lips a lot, so do a lot of applying.
  • You might want to find a lipstick that is light and not really matte, MAC/Rimmel ones will be good for this.
  • The reason for this is, you're adding a lot of gloss on the top too..
  • Once you have filled your lips in, they will look like the first picture.
  • To get it like the second picture, which is what im trying to show, is to find a lipgloss a little darker than your lipstick that you just applied. 
  • Apply the gloss and there we go..
  • You SHOULD have a result like this! Just remember, all lip shapes are different so if you have very small lips, you wont have this exact pout look, but they will be a glossy red!
  • Its so simple, hope you all enjoyed this!
(I will be doing a YouTube video on this, on Monday, so I will tell you what products I used then)

Okay, so, I havent posted today because I thought id have a bit of a break and stuff, and, I havent posted on YouTube either.. things to come tomorrow. 
I tried this out on Tuesday and I really liked it. 
I got it two Christmases ago, but only used it twice. The smell is gorgeous! Wild Rose & Raspberry Leaf. 
Its a different scent, never heard of Raspberry Leaf before, but, its noticeable in the smell. It foamed up so well and lasted around 20 minutes. I dont like my bath bubbly so I didnt add a lot. This was the perfect amount being run under cold water.
Its like the other Baylis&Harding Bath Foam I reviewed, this one is a little thicker though. 
I could smell it on my skin when I got out of the bath, which is good.
Thought id tell you all about this, I dont know how much this is, but, I know it was from ASDA.

DISCLAIMER: THESE PICTURES ARE NOT MINE AND HAVE BEEN SAVED FROM https://www.facebook.com/MUAmakeupacademy.

I saw these get posted on the MUA Facebook Page earlier this afternoon and fell in love straight away! They're in stores from July 3rd and will be £3 each. I already know which ones ill be purchasing.. them all! 
I like the darker colors a lot more, but, Tribe will be good for a vibrant look and is a different edition to the gel eyeliner range.
I have a few Gel Eyeliners and I love them! Underground will be a more used Eyeliner, for me, because I like the original black look more than using a colored eyeliner.
Fairgorund & On Move will be good Eyeliners for smoky eyes and for a light daytime look or added more for a strong nighttime look.
I like the packaging too, simple and basic and looks a little like a liquid eyeliner.
I dont know where the brush is stored, because I dont have this product yet, but, I think its stored  where the top part comes off to see the eyeliner.
I think for £3 you do get a lot of product so.. yeah I cant wait to try this product!
Lots of Love, Zofia xxx
