Hey lovelies!

Hey lovelies,

So last week I decided to head to Makeup Revolution online and see what catches my eye and whats new on the website! I love the Makeup revolution website as it is so easy to use and flick through to find different items and collections, I have shopped with them before and parcels always arrive early to me! Id much rather buy from them directly rather than Superdrug.co.uk as their website is rubbish.


As you can see I purchased 4 items, including 1 sale item (btw they had an amazing sale, definitely check it out for some bargains). All the items I bought were complete bargains anyway as Makeup revolution do the best quality beauty & makeup products for such amazing prices.

Rainbow Highlighter 

I did originally hit up the website for the most beautiful rainbow highlighter you have ever seen!  I had been looking at some on eBay (but thats for a different post). It is just utterly stunning, who doesn't want their cheekbones highlighted from a rainbow...I sure do! On first swatch it is a beautiful as it looks, and also very pigmented - like all Makeup Revolution items I am never disappointed. The colours include; pink, yellow, green, blue and purple. I also will mix this up and use certain shades as eyeshadows too, as I love multifunctional products. The rainbow highlighter was £4, and £4 well spent!


Re-Loaded Palette Visionary 

I really wanted to pick up the new soph does nails palette however already owning the first one, this paler caught my eye a lot more! Theses shades are so up my street it is unbelievable, I love pinky tones on my eyes as I feel as though it really complements my skin tone and face. The sparkly pink shade immediately got me and I had to swatch it asap! ... It is gorgeous! Again this palette was £4, and for 15 eyeshadows I think that is pretty good. Compared to Mac or urban decay which around £32. Also for summer, I love the idea of switching up to less neutral shades and for £4 you can't go wrong really!



Pro Supreme Lipstick in the shade Rebellious

This lipstick was £2.50 from £5 in the sale, however since looking on their website today the lipstick is back up to £5 which is still cheap! The pro lipsticks are pretty new so I quickly snapped it up for the £2.50 price tag. The shade definitely looks darker online than in real life however it is still lovely! It is like a your lips but better and a bit lighter, also in a matte finish. I love wearing this already and actually have it on now! I can't wait to test it with a lipgloss over the top as I think that would look lovely.


Renaissance flick Eyeliner 

Last but definitely not least is the Renaissance flick eye liner in black. My current eyeliner which I love from Eyeko is sadly running out so I decided to try this one out for £5. To be honest it was the rose gold colour packaging that mostly caught my eye. I used the liner this morning and it is honestly so black and thin, perfect for the ultimate cat flick which I love doing everyday. With the shape of the felt tip, you can make the line thin or thick that is totally up to you! But I must say due to the shape of the packaging it makes the lid really hard to get off, unless that is just me and my weak hands haha.



I really hope you have enjoyed this quick little Makeup Revolution haul, I have really enjoyed doing it as of course I love spending the dollar on makeup - shopping is my cardio and all that! If you want to see more haul blog posts please let me know where from and what you've been hauling recently, as I love being nosey seeing what people buy!

Hello lovlies,

So June has just ended and we're finally in July! What a better to way to commemorate June than a favourites post! I have plenty of beauty favourites this month, however I've been enjoying things I can't physically show you such as Sims 4 on my Mac and Friends the TV show. Obsessed with 24/7 in the month of June, but no spoilers because we haven't managed to finish all of friends yet, I still can't believe I've got to the age of 21 and never seen an episode! Sims 4 has also been an obsession of mine recently, I even downloaded a love island villa and all the islanders...sad or what haha.

However the other favourites I am loving are...



1. Inside Vogue by Alexandra Shulman Book 

The book reflects Alexandra Shulmans diary of British Vogue magazines 100th year and what it entails. This is by far my 2018 summer read. Its witty and insightful, if you like fashion and all the inside scoops (like me) then this is a must read for you. With my heart set on a future career in fashion promotion, all the ins and outs are essential. The book discusses celebrities and designers alike. Set in a diary format through each month with different occasions discussed.


2. Liz Earle Botanical Shampoo & Conditioner 

After using a somewhat harsh colour shampoo and conditioner for the past few months my hair is really appreciating the calming effects of the Liz Earle botanics. After using Liz Earle products for years now my amazing nan treated me to this due in the limited edition packaging, and I am in love as per usual with all Liz Earle products. The scent is just heavenly, very fresh and botanical - clean! I love the consistency of both products and how they really feel as though they are cleaning every inch of your hair thoroughly! If you think Liz Earle is just about the Cleanse & Polish (which is also amazing) definitely branch out and check out her other products this summer!



3. Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Lipsticks

Priced at £5.99 each, I honestly think these liquid lipsticks are the best on the market! So affordable and so long wearing with amazing colour pay off. There are so many shades in the range to choose from it was so hard to pick just two to buy! The formula is amazing and dries within seconds on the lips however applies with a velvety/satin feel. I can't wait to get my hands onto a red shade. These Liquid lipsticks really do last all day long, wearing throughout the centre of the lips just slightly but after a touch up looks perfect again. Drink and eat and you have no problems what so ever.


4. Carmex

My ultimate essential for summer, I have one in every handbag! Strawberry is my favourite, the way it tingles on the lips feels so good and the SPF is totally needed in the UK heatwave! I put this on before my makeup and it lasts for so long afterwards! Also a perfect base for underneath lipsticks to keep you lips nice and moist (especially for underneath matte lipsticks). I really want to try some of the different flavours as pineapple and mint also sounds very refreshing!


I hope you enjoyed seeing what my June favourites are! Comment below what you're loving this month and how you're dealing with this UK heatwave!

Hey Lovelies,

Sorry I've been absent for a while but Im back with a lovely little easter post, so grab all the chocolate you can and keep reading!

Planning my easter makeup led me to crave something more natural (ish) with a pretty spring time eye look. The makeup as mentioned below will definitely give you the pretty spring look we've all been looking for, even if this english weather isn't complying.


Lets all be honest I did this post due to my love of the I heart Revolution Surprise Egg rose gold, I am utterly in love with all aspects and most of all the travel friendly size! Also for the £5 price tag I had to try it, and I was not expecting to love it as much as I do now! Makeup revolution you did so well! Perfect for easter with the compact easter egg size, the rose gold packaging and the pinky warm tones - utter heaven in an egg with 2 beautiful highlighter shades. Be aware that I had to order this beauty online due to the amount of out of stock signs they have in stores, but I cannot wait to buy more eggs from the collection!


Of course I then had to include another recent essential of mine, the Bad Gal Bang Mascara by Benefit. This mascara is honestly out of this world (fitting as it contains aero particles derived from space technology - one of the lightest materials!). Adding the perfect amount of volume and length to my lashes like no mascara has ever done before, I find the formula dries very quickly on my lashes and feels weightless. It is also a little clumpy however I enjoy this as it makes my lashes look less false and naturally bigger. Overall the best mascara you will ever try.

 Finally another essential of mine is this Mac Lip Liner in the shade Boldly Bare, it works perfectly with my favourite Mac Velvet Teddy Lipstick and makes the shade last longer without adjusting the colour of velvet teddy. This is my perfect lip kit and isn't too much on the lips, so natural but 90's. Your lips but better! Also as its easter and a lot of eating and drinking is probably going to take place, no need to worry about your lips - the lip liner makes any lipstick last ages!


I hope you enjoyed this quick little post about my easter makeup essentials, and please let me know in the comments or social media (all my links are in the sidebar and below) if you have tried any of the products I've mentioned or any you recommend for me to try! Any excuse for makeup shopping!

Hey lovelies,

So Valentines Day is just around the corner and if you haven't already got your makeup sorted, you can definitely plan a makeup look around this perfect lip colour!

Whether you are spending your valentines day with family, date night or with your gals then you can still rock this lip shade no matter what the event! Wearable in the day and super seductive for the night, suiting every skin tone. Of course I am talking about Sleek! An affordable beauty brand with quality at the heart. This is the Sleek Matte Me liquid lipstick in the Rioja Red shade.


Perfectly red in every way. I received this for Christmas and I've kind of been obsessed with this shade ever since! The formula is creamy yet matte (obviously) but doesn't feel overly drying on the lips. I desperately want to pick up more shades as they are only £3.95 on Feel Unique. The formula lasts a super long time, Ive even managed to eat and drink with only a little smudge but with reapplication looks perfect again.


I just wear this liquid lipstick on its own as I've found a lip liner isn't needed, due to the formula not bleeding out onto my skin - which I've found before with other high end liquid lipsticks!


As you can see the swatch of the lipstick matches the bottle perfectly, so you know what you're getting instantly. It is the 'perfect' beautiful red shade for any special event, and even though I have extremely pale skin it suits me to a T. Every once in a while we all need a bold lip colour to express ourselves and I think I have found mine.


Here is a quick selfie of me from Christmas Day wearing the lovely Matte Me lip! Also very wearable with any eye look from a classic smokey to just simple cat wings to spice things up a little. I wear this lip colour with any outfit, a dressy date night look to a lovely every day me.

I really hope you enjoyed this little pre Valentines Day post, comment below with your favourite red lips or feel free to tweet me as all my social media links are in the sidebar! And of course I hope you have the best Valentines Day thats filled with lots of love, fun and most of all chocolate!

Hey Lovelies,

My skin has been so up and down as of recently due to the weather and me consuming my own body weight in Christmas chocolate. So because of this I decided to reach for my L'oreal pure clay face masks, I use them as a combination to work in unity together to get my skin back to its peak condition.


Now you've probably seen so many posts around the internet about these face masks but I decided to add a new one into the mix that is a pretty new release. Also if you are currently having trouble with your skin recently like myself then maybe these clay masks can help you out too.

Pure Clay Detox Mask 

Kicking this off with my favourite of the 4 in my current collection, the detox mask aka 'the grey one'. This mask is my one true love and I mainly focus using it on my chin and jawline area, also the upper lip. This mask is perfect for detoxing your skin of all the impurities it holds. It is enriched with black charcoal that acts as a magnet to draw out all the impurities.  Did I also mention all the masks smell gorgeous? I apply it to dry/damp ish skin and let it sit for around 10 to 15 minutes its totally up to you - then I remove with a damp muslin cloth. Each and every clay mask feels utterly smooth and professional on the skin, like a spa day right in your own home.



Pure Clay Glow Mask

Unlike the others in the collection the Glow mask contains tiny exfoliating beads that you can feel when applying to areas you would like to brighten. Its beautiful pink colour comes from red algae that is known for its brightening properties, and apricot seeds to gently exfoliate dull and uneven skin. I tend to focus this one under my eyes (but not too close to cause irritation) and around my temples and cheek bones, where I naturally would like to glow and be bright. Again using this the same way and removing with a damp muslin cloth (mine are from Liz Earle).



Pure Clay Purity Mask

The texture of the purifying mask is a lot thinner and much creamier than the rest. I focus this on the areas where my pores may be large and blackhead areas such as my nose and around and my forehead - the T zone. It is enriched with Eucalyptus extract with is known for its purifying properties. My T zone always feel hydrated and smooth after using this product, ready to apply my serums and night time moisturiser.



Pure Clay Blemish Rescue Mask

Claiming to clear and unclog pores with Marine algae extract. Again this is a thicker texture very similar to the detox mask, I like to focus this on all my problem acne areas, as of lately it has been my chin with a few on my cheeks. This mask always does its very best to calm the spots down, as they definitely appear less red and inflamed after just one use.


Below shows swatches of all 4 of the clay masks I own, from this you can clearly tell what the textures are going to be like and how they vary...


The only one missing from my collection is the pure clay bright mask 'the yellow one' which I also can't wait to try as all 4 have impressed me and my skin so far. Whats not to love about all illuminating properties?



I really hope you have enjoyed this little skincare post and skin update, if you are having problematic skin lately and love some products that help please let me know in the comments as I would love the excuse to by more! All my social media links are in the sidebar so tweet me with recommendations too!

Hello Lovlies,

Having never done a Bath bomb/Lush haul before ever on Abbey Hearts (Which is totally unlike me, bath queen over here) I thought November would be a fitting month. It's the run up to Christmas, its now snowing outside so why not cosy up - put the heating on full blast and run a nice relaxing bath. I have been a lover of all things bath time since forever, it makes it fun & relaxing all at the same time. The bath bombs/fizzers & bubble bars in this haul I have collected since the end of October (so excuse the halloweens items), from a mixture of places. I can't wait to share them with you!


First up are my beloved Lush bits, again from October but who says you can't just get round to using them?! However you may think I'm barking mad but the "Sparkly Pumpkin" bubble bar shown below is still available on the Lush website and leaving soon so be quick! It claims to be "uplifting, protecting and refreshing" all in one. But the true reason I bought into this sparkle bomb is indeed for the crazy amount of glitter - you'll find glitter everywhere after using this, trust me! Sparkly Pumpkin is a bubble bar therefore a little sprinkle under the hot running water is all that is needed to create autumnal heaven in the tub!


Another one of my favourite all time scents from Lush is Snow Fairy which is now available as a jelly bath bomb! Anyone else as excited as me? The snow fairy scent is timeless and gorgeous, with the jelly style bomb making a new twist on the old classic. Now not to be hasty or controversial but I this bath bomb to me is massive! Therefore I would never use all of it on one bath only. Call me old fashioned but I like to be savvy, priced at £4.95 each this will definitely last me at leat 2 - 3 baths, as well as some of the others in this haul. And its pink so whats not to love?


A newbie in my haul is Rocket Science, again from Lush priced at £2.95 each, which in my opinion is decent for the size you receive. The lovely sparkly blue colour is what first attracted me to this particular bomb, and again claiming to be "uplifting and refreshing" on Lush.com. I got this as a present for my mum to try as we both loveeee a good bath. I can't wait to see Rocket Science get fizzy in the bath, and the scents and trails it leaves behind. They're always so much fun!


A brand I haven't tried before but was intrigued to is bomb cosmetics. These 2 caught my eye immediately in the shop (it was a garden centre could you believe) just because of how beautifully christmassy and cute they are! I decided to purchase 2 as the deal was 2 for £6 which is cheaper than 2 bigger bath bombs at Lush. Both smell gorgeous, I picked up Ugly Ducking and Candy Cane Lane.  Priced at £2.99 each. I can't wait to see how they both fizz up and go under the challenge once in the water, because to this day I haven't found any as good as Lush.


Im sorry this was only a tiny haul, but a haul none the less. I also hope you enjoyed it! Maybe it gave you a little inspiration to go shopping (sorry not sorry). But it is the season for giving so why not treat yourself and a pal all at the same time! Please let me know if you would like to see my reaction/thoughts to how they all fizz up in the bath - and always keep an eye on my social media for that good ol reverse boomerang. Comment below if you have any recommendations for me to buy next...Im always on the lookout haha!

Hello Lovlies,

So me and my bestie went for a little shopping spree last week, so obviously we had to nip into Primark only to be surprised by the amazing beauty section! We both picked up one of these new 9 shade custom eye shadow palettes and I haven't stopped using it since! I recently saw these on @Primarks insta stories, so they are definitely a new launch.

So for reference the shades were individually 60p and the palette was £3



I chose to make a 9 shade palette as I just loved way too many shades for a quad (£2) and for the extra money why the hell not. This palette is just stunning and I can create so so many different looks using it! The shades are beautiful (I already want to make another one!) and the colour pay off is insane for the 60p price tag!


Of course I had to go for an autumnal vibe with this palette as its October and custom made to suit all my needs. Looks for daytime, for uni and for date night. I think this palette smashed all three. I went for a mixture of mattes, shimmers and glitters. Including a gorgeous khaki shade that I just had to try and now cannot get enough of!


Since creating this palette last week I have managed to create a different eye look every single day, often getting compliments from fellow friends and family then them being shocked that it could be from Primark! They have really upped their game recently as I also love a liquid lipstick from their insta girl range! As this was custom again I went for a warm tone palette as this definitely suits my skin tone and blue eye colour more than a cooler tone of colours.

Primark had a lot of colours to choose from...and I mean a lot! We must have been stood there at least half an hour picking our 9 shades each, but it was so bloody fun and therapeutic!


Each shade has a name on the bottom of the pan, just like MAC however this isn't available to see until purchased and taken out of the packaging. So these are the shades I bought...


As you can see the shades are just stunning and perfect for autumn with a berry lip and a cosy wooly jumper! The shade Naked is beautiful however my camera didn't pick it up very well, but it is a perfect inner corner and brow bone highlight! All Very creamy however some matte shades seem to be a little powdery with only minimal to almost no fall out, but I really don't mind that for the price I payed for these shadows. Overall I am finding the quality and colour pay off insane for everyday use, with a good mixture of colours! I also think these would make great gifts for girls in the family and besties alike. My top 3 are Basil, Sun Kissed and Cranberry - if you can't afford the beloved Naked Heat palette then I would say some of these colours are a definite 'dupe'. Truffle mixed with Espresso also doubles up for a perfect shade for my eyebrows, this palette is the ultimate win win!

Please tweet me and comment below if you've also bought into the custom eye shadow palettes at Primark! As I definitely recommend them! All my social media links are in the sidebar and below, also please don't forget to comment as I loved and appreciate all feedback and just love to have a general chat!

PS I am so so sorry it has taken me a while to upload content on my blog since my last post but life/uni just gets in the way sometimes! But I'm back on track!

Hello Lovlies,

So running with the back to uni theme here, we're now in September when the school terms are approaching and if some of you are heading back to uni for 2nd year like me or you're new to the whole uni thing then you may find this useful! Some points I make here may seem extremely obvious but if you're new to uni it is often easy to forget that you can now get student discount etc!  All of the points I make here are what Ive discovered from being at Uni a whole year already, and I continue to do them to this day!


 SIGN UP FOR ONLINE FREEBIE SAMPLES & ASK AT MAKEUP COUNTERS

This one may seem a little weird to some of you but I have been doing this one for years and I know many people that do too, even my boyfriend! Girls we all know that feeling of wanting to buy that new Clinique foundation for say £20 + however as a student that is pricey and a lot of money to fork out just for a foundation. So my savvy trick is to ask at you local makeup counters in Debenhams, Boots, John Lewis, House of Fraser etc for a little sample pot! I have sensitive skin so trying products out first for me is definitely essential! This savvy trick also works with perfume, I have sooooo many samples!

If you don't fancy being this abrupt and upfront in store then don't worry you can also sign up for online mailing lists from Latest Free Stuff (Which Martin Lewis has talked about before so don't worry it is legitimate) and Magic Freebies. These websites will email you every day with the latest free deals, from free makeup/skincare and perfume, to free candy bars. Once you've clicked on a link you often just put your name and address and the free sample is on its way!

LOOK OUT FOR SAMPLE SALES IN YOUR CITY

My University is great for this, we have a student union that often email us when the latest sample sale is on its way to our uni. In the past we've had boohoo sample sales and Victoria Secret but they do get busy with queues lasting for hours so I suggest you hit them up early! Sample sales are amazing everything is under half price sometimes every item is only £2 so great for us students! Don't forget to sign up to your university student union, and you can also find events happening in your city just by one easy google. If you're in Manchester like me theres often many sample sales happening at the Northern Quarter every month.

STUDENT DISCOUNT & DISCOUNT CODES

Now this maybe the obvious one but like I said above if you're new to uni then sometimes you can forget about student discount that many shops offer its so easy! You just ask and quickly show your student ID. Many shops do offer this in store online however River Island does not! If you have an NUS Card then you have some brilliant perks at both restaurants and shops however this does come with a fee.  UniDays is the number one, take that from someone who knows! Just sign up with your email and confirm your place and uni and you're in. UniDays has discounts for missguided, public desire, apple, asos and loads loads more so definitely have a look at their website!


STUDENT BANK ACCOUNT PERKS

When you receive you're student loan I highly suggest changing your bank account to a student back account, therefore you can arrange and see your money better with more added student perks! I received a 3 year Railcard with my Santander student account which saves me £ 25 a year on buying one and another 30% off each rail ticket I buy! I chose this one as I was commuting to London a lot in my first year as my boyfriend studied there and I was in MCR, so just pick the bank account that has the best perk for you! These accounts also offer a free overdraft, super helpful.


STUDENT MALL LOCK INS

If you are a fan of the student discounts then this one might be for you! Every year cities offer this in the winter months at local Malls and shopping centres. Ive only ever been to the one but picked up so many bargains. These student lock ins are obviously just for students and shops within the Malls offer a higher student discount than usual on these nights! So get your uni pals together and start planning.

BURSARIES & GRANTS FRORM YOUR UNIVERSITY

At MMU we have a card which the university provides money on, that you can spend on printing, your lunch, snacks, starbucks, art/stationary supplies, and technology like iPads and MacBooks all on campus at the uni shops which is super helpful for me and my life at university. You can apply for things like these through your uni and on your student loan application, depending on how much your family earns depends on if you will receive something similar to this or money etc. But be sure to look into it , or have your parents look into this as it can be confusing.

ALWAYS LOOK IN THE CLEARANCE SECTION

Again another obvious one but in ANY shop be sure to look in the clearance section of the store as Ive found bargains in sainsbury's and boots. Boots is a great one and often have amazing brands in the clearance section and even snacky foods!

5PM ONWARDS = TIME TO REDUCE TODAYS FOODS IN SUPERMARKETS

This clever hack I actually stole from my boyfriend as this is what we use to do when he was at London his local Sainsbury's and Tesco stores always did this past the 5pm mark as that days food obviously isn't going to last! You can find yourselves some amazing bargains if you are doing the weekly or daily shop for you hall. I commute so I don't have to buy my own food as Im still at home but like I said if you're staying in halls of residence then this is a great hack for you! Look at the sandwiches, ready meals and snack sections.

STORE LOYALTY CARDS & VOUCHERS

Another basic and more simple savvy trick but still a handy one, below shows some of the best loyalty cards and vouchers available including; Boots, John Lewis and Ikea. Some of these cards offer free drinks in the cafe, money off own brand names and free gifts. It is definitely worth signing up to as many shops loyalty cards as you can, the perks are so so worth it especially near the gift giving season in Christmas!


FREEBIES IN BIG TOWN CENTRES FROM BIG NAME BRANDS

Maybe you're uni is in a big city centre like mine in Manchester and if it is then don't forget to look out for freebies in the street from big name brands. In the past Ive had full size free drinks plus vouchers from; Coca Cola, Lucozade, Ribena and yoghurt drinks. Obviously this ins't an everyday occasion but when a company launches a new "zero" sugar drink then expect this to happen in your city! Saves buying a drink with that meal deal.

I really hope you've enjoyed this post and my tips for saving money and being savvy at uni. Hopefully these will help you if you're just starting or fancy being more savvy! Please let me know in the comments any other savvy tips and tricks or if you've tried any of these! I love feedback and replying to comments is one of my fav things to do. All my social media links are in the sidebar so don't be shy.

Hello Lovlies,

I'm back! Obviously I had to get my hands on the newness that is the Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette, because it is just so so beautiful! The colours are just perfect as I have nothing else quite like it in my makeup collection, and find myself reaching for this palette a LOT! I also feel this palette is ideal for the summer to autumn transition because who doesn't want their eyelids to match; the falling leaves, pumpkins, spiced lattes...need I go on?!


So after lusting over this for many many months it is finally mine! I ordered mine from Debenhams from here in the UK as the UD website is always sold out (typical right).  I would definitely suggest swatching this palette before you buy if you are hesitant - would the colours suit you etc? I would say they suit me, I am definitely drawn to more warm tone colours over cool tones as I have been using my Naked 3 Palette for years and years now. As a brunette with balyage blonde, blue eyes and fair skin this palette suits me, but I honestly think it is a universal palette for all skin tones and hair colours.


Just like all the Naked Palettes the formula is magnificently creamy, even with the one swatch/sweep of colour it is amazingly pigmented and definitely build-able. I have been wearing Lumbre the most and as a glitter shadow fallout is often expected however over the last few days I haven't experienced any fallout with Lumbre or any of the other beautiful shadows. The size of this palette is also great for travelling as it contains a large mirror, fits into my travel makeup bag and you can create many different looks with it, as I travel up and down quite a lot.


Looking at the close ups of the shadow there is such a variety in shades, especially when they are swatched. However I fear that this palette is almost missing a medium/dark brown shade that could be used in the crease and to blend other shadows - but that could just be me wanting to stick to my usual 'safe' shades.


Again the outer packaging of this palette is just to die for, really bringing it all together with a 3D look hidden within the lid. Also the loveliest mirror is always added to the Naked palettes meaning they are great travel buddies!





 A few close ups of the shades swatched on my very very fair skin shows they are indeed highly pigmented, I decided to just do one sweep of colour to show you lovelies this. I don't know about you but the 4 middle eyeshadows are by far the prettiest and definitely my favourites so far. However I think En Fuego could look lovely around winter time. This palette also comes with a brilliant quality double ended eyeshadow brush, just like all the Urban Decay Naked palettes which is just perfect for helping you create the perfect eyes. I actually prefer this brush to many others on the market and tend to reach for this and my bobbi browns the most.


I really hope you have enjoyed this mini little review of the naked heat palette. In the future I hope to include some real life eye looks, almost like a tutorial showing the shades I use with what brushes to create it.

But for now I hope this post has given you an insight into this palette if you were maybe a little unsure, I say go for it! Order it! It is beyond pretty, Urban Decay you have again outdone yourselves.  Not a sponsored post. All images are my own copyright Abbey Hartley
