Stila Natural Eyes: One Palette - Three Looks

Remember this time last year when everyone and their wife was banging on about this palette? Well it was with good reason, as the palette is gorgeous; and I'm bringing it back for this post.

There is so many gorgeous colours in this palette and I thought I'd show you three different 'smokey eye' looks that I like to create from this palette.

Look One: The Neutral Smokey Eye

I started by blending Kitten all over my lid. I then placed Bliss in the crease with a bit of Sandstone in the outer corner. For a bit of lash definition I ran and smudged some Damsel into my upper lash line and outer corner of my lower lash line.

Look Two: The Bronze Smokey Eye

For this look, I took Sunset all over my lid then place Gilded Gold in the outer corner, crease and lower lash line. I then took Bliss to blend the crease colour to my brow bone. To define my lashes I added some Ebony and ran Damsel onto my waterline. 

Look Three: The Dark Smokey Eye 

I started with Luster along my upper lash line, and up to my crease. Across the rest of my lid I added some Sandstone and blended the crease and brow bone with Bliss. I then Luster underneath my eye, and placed Damsel on my lower water line. For a bit more definition I added Ebony onto my upper lash line.

Do you have this palette? What looks do you create?

Update on My MAC Palette

I've had my MAC Palette for a while now, and have been adding to in every now and again, and thought I would show you the shadows I have at the moment, and the ones I recommend.

My top five would be:

Mulch
Handwritten
Satin Taupe
Patina
Quarry


As you can see it is very much going to be a neutrals palette, so with that in mind, what are your recommendations?

Update on my MAC Palette

A while ago in this post, I showed you that I had started to build by own MAC palette. To begin with I just had Malt and Omega, but then last weekend I took advantage of 15% off and free delivery from Debenhams. I then got Woodwinked, Quarry and Naked Lunch.

I then decided to experiment, putting Woodwinked over my lid and Quarry in the crease, I think it worked quite well, if I do say so myself! I wore it to a nice little picnic in the park with my friends and think it looked rather good on a nice summers afternoon!

I've saved a space for All that glitters at the bottom, and I'm also pondering Charcoal Brown, any more recommendations?

Little MAC Splurge

When I first started my blog, I didn't own any high end make-up. Que a few months later, and what a surprise, my collection is slowly growing. Last week I went shopping again with Rachel, and we had another great time, I love that I've made real friends through blogging, so nice! Anyway, we went shopping and we went into MAC, and thought I'd share what I got!

I've made the desicion that I want to start my own MAC palette, which I know is expensive, but make-up, as sad as it sounds, is my hobby, so yup! I've started with the two colours Malt (the pinker colour) and Omega!

These are quite light swatches 'cause I didn't wanna waste the product haha.

Malt//Omega

I think together Omega is a great contour/crease shade to Malt, and they give a nice day time smokey eye.

I then got the famous MSF in Soft and Gentle, and I must say, I can see why people love it, (a better review to follow!)

And last, but by no means least, this Kohl liner in Powersurge. We saw this little guy as a tester the last time we went shopping, but unfortunately they were sold out. We were so desperate to get it too, and then Rachel noticed you could reserve and collect it from John Lewis, and she could use a 10% student discount and ended up ordering it for us! I am so happy I finally have it though! It is the most gorgeous bronzey golden colour!

So that is the end of my mini little haul type thing.

What eye shadows should I get next?
