I love the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette, the smell is to die for and the colours are very pretty. 

Today I did a slightly adjusted version of the 'Haute Chocolate' look which is in the little look book that comes with the chocolate bar palette. I really love the combination of the purpley red of Cherry Cordial with the gold of Creme Brule that is suggested but i also added Salted Caramel and Strawberry Bon Bon as transition colours and Semi-Sweet in my crease, as well as Champagne Truffle to highlight my brow bone and as an inner corner highlight. 

I prefer Butter Pecan which is the highlight colour in the Semi-Sweet palette, but I like to do a whole look using just one palette. 

I also really loved how my eyebrows turned out today. I've started using a different brush to fill them in too which I think is making a lot of difference, before I was using a small softer angled brush but I felt like i was using a lot of product and ending up really packing it on but now since I began using the brow brush which came with the Real Techniques Starter Kit I find I'm only having to dip my brush into the product once for each eyebrow and i can easily draw the shape of them with 2 sweeps and then use a spoolie to blend the colour through them. I've also changed the shape a bit recently and I love how natural but still 'done' they look.

I was also applying for a makeup based job today so I tried to look pretty flawless, honestly I spent so long blending my eyeshadow its ridiculous. Fingers Crossed though!

Limecrime Venus Palette Dupe - Inglot Freedom Palette

Recently I made myself an Inglot Freedom Palette which is a dupe for the Limecrime Venus palette but I hadn't actually got round to playing with it yet, so this week I decided to do a couple of looks with it. It was my first time using Inglot shadows and I'll do a full review later but they were so nice to use, they were pigmented and blended easily and felt almost creamy.

I didn't take a full face photo for the first eye look i did which i regret. Until now I've always been weary of pink and red eyeshadows so I decided to jump straight in at the deep end with this palette and used the pinks and reds, with a dark brown in my crease.

For the second look I used the browns but it ended up looking quite orange toned. I really love the highlight colour I chose for my palette to use in my inner corner, Inglot's 'shine' formula is so shimmery.

If I was going to do this look again I wouldn't do the double wing with the dark brown eyeshadow but I was in a hurry and didn't have time to take it off, so i decided to just go with it! I also decided to layer my lipsticks because I wanted something super opaque but not matte and i was really pleased with the results. I first applied Jeffree Star I'm nude and then layered Mac Pure Zen on top, giving me a really pigmented, glossy nude.

Orange FOTD

 I've been really loving oranges recently and yesterday I bought Nars blush in Taj Mahal which is bright orange and I was really excited to do a look with it. Excuse the slobber on my T-shirt, I'd been holding my dribbly teething daughter before I took this and I didn't notice it, oops!

Close up of my eye, it's simple and quite natural but still orangey. I only used eyeshadows from the Too Faced Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar palette (total heart-eyes, but that'll have to be another post because I could talk for hours about how much I love it).
