THOUGHTS: Maybelline 'Diamond Glow' Quad

(£7.19)

When I finally decide to release my grasp off summer, I automatically go on the hunt for the classic autumnal shades. Auburns, dark woody tones, all of which I have a slight love for.

Eyes Of The Day #1

I play with eye make up often, whether it be for college or a special event. Either way, I love a good statement eye look and change it up whenever I can or have the time to experiment. With it being autumn, I have really been loving the more cranberry and soft browns to complement the seasonal change in colours. 

For the base, I used the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in 'Metallic Pomegranate' which is a gorgeous warm berry with a pink undertone to not only help the shadows last but to complement and intensify the crease shades.

As I said, I have been loving the berry tones this season, so to intensify the base colour I packed on the darkest shade in the Mayelline Diamond Glow quad in 'Coral Drama' on the outer third of the lid and blended it in using a Sigma E40 Tapered blending brush. I'm going to do a separate post on this product so I won't say too much except the fact that I can not say enough good things about this quad.

I the gently buffed in 'Buck' from the Naked palette through the top of the shadow and where the base and the dark colour meet for a blended transition.  

Lastly, I used 2nd to darkest shade in the same palette and lightly applied it as my inner corner highlight and slightly on the lash line for the added definition and glow. 

For the liner, I used Maybelline Eye Studio Gel liner to line my upper lash line and slightly wing it out at the ends. 

I think this is a great look for both casual or evening if you want to smoke it out at the lash line for added intensity!

THE DAILY DOSE: My Fall Teas

Im british... and we british love a good old classic 'cuppa' from time to time... or everyday in some cases. In the summer, I really got into flavoured Ice teas, Lipton's Peach Ice Tea being one of my favourites! So going into this fall season, I figured that in order to keep up with my new found love, Flavoured tea bags were the way to go.
