URBAN DECAY SUSTAINABLE SHADOW BOX

HEY CHICAS, I hope everyone is enjoying the sun we're getting! I'm going to show you this gorgeous Urban Decay eyeshadow palette which I picked up for £20 (reduced from £27 because the primer potion was missing, how cool?!). It's not one that I'd heard of before, being in a wooden box I'm sure that's where the name 'Sustainable Box' came from. I really like the packaging as it's nice and solid whilst looking quite quirky. It opens by sliding the lid to the side, which took my blonde brain a few seconds to figure out as I tried to yank the lid up!

PARTY EYES: ICED BLUE

DOING A PARTY EYE OF THE WEEK post is a new idea of mine which I will stick to religiously! It speaks for itself and this week I came up with a simple blue look. It involves quite a few sparkly products so catches the camera lights nicely, adding a twinkle to your eyes.

Step 1: Using a fluffy brush, sweep your whole eyelid with

a shimmery copper bronze eyeshadow, to just below the brow bone.

BRONZED EYES

IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE we're having much of a summer in the UK so what better way to bring a bit of sun into your life than to play around with summer makeup?! I bought a single eyeshadow from The Body Shop with a voucher I had, there's no name for the colour but it's the lovely bronze one. I applied it with a damp brush because it brings out the colour that bit more whilst adding a metallic shine.

BARE ESCENTUALS TRUE GOLD

JUST A QUICKIE TO SHOW YOU a lovely eyeshadow by mineral makeup giants, Bare Escentuals. I have quite a few of their eyeshadows now thanks to one of my friends giving me a gorgeous selection at Christmas and the one I'm showing you today is a wonderful shimmery gold shade. It can be used all over the lid if you're daring enough to go down that route, however I normally use it on the inner corner of my eye for a subtle, sexy flash of gold. It's a really easy way of bringing a touch of golden goddess into your makeup routine without going OTT. Of course it brightens up the eye area too.
