Elle Magazine UK Samplers

This month Elle Magazine UK has a double wammy of samplers. The main samples featured on the front of the plastic wrapping are three deluxe skin care samples from (MALIN+GOETZ). 

This (MALIN+GOETZ) set include the Grapefruit Face Cleanser, Vitamin E face moisturizer, and a lip moisturizer. I am currently using them as my nighttime treatment routine and my skin is loving them. The face wash is nothing spectacular, it washed your face, it does its job. The moisturizer has such a smooth sensation and it definitely hydrated my skin. I have an oily complexion but slightly dehydrated skin. The lip moisturizer is AMAZING. In three days of use, my lips are transformed and super soft and smooth. For getting a sub par magazine, you can get awesome samples.

BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE!

L'Oreal Elvive High Gloss Shine Shampoo massive sample sachet!

I love this stuff, for a cheap shampoo, there are not cheap results, my hair is SHINING and super smooth!

Maybelline Color Show nail polish

At my local Tesco's, I have been picking up these nail polishes by Maybelline and have been extremely impressed. Today I did a manicure using a pastel purple and a shimmering pastel pink named in the picture.

Comic Book Inspired Look

Pinterest provided me with more than enough inspiration to do a comic book inspired look. I have been limited to not many proper products (yet) to do crazy makeup, I did what I did with what I had! I went for a black and white with a color pop! 

MY LIPS ARE THE FAVORITE PART OF ALL OF THIS!

I used Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation in 00 (white) and the NARS Pandora (black and white) powder palette as well as Illamasqua black kohl pencil to straighten up lines. The lips are Anna Nicole matte liquid lipstick from Jeffree Star Cosmetics.

For having no idea what I was doing, I think I did a pretty impressive job! I want to invest in high quality face paints so I can do some crazy stuff! Hopefully soon I will have landed a job and can get cracking on that!

Thanks for reading! XO

LOTD: Crazy Colors

Somedays, you just need to have a little fun! 

On the eyes I used Velocity (blue) and 2AM (purple) eyeshadows with Goldilux glittering gold pigment. Added a pop of color on top of that with Blue Milk liquid eyeliner by Lime Crime. My lips are Passion (irridescent pink) by LUSH. I did my complexion using the Benefit 'Look Good In Everything' box kit including promer, foundation, concealer and powder. Finished it off with Hoola bronzer by Benefit and Lightscape by MAC.

I hope you enjoyed this look! Xo Tay

New Hair Color

I am on the prowl for a job so I changed up my hair color for something a little more normal. So from Peachy Orange and Pink to Brown with a peekaboo panel of blue and green. (I could not go COMPLETELY normal...) I am getting an undercut on the back and bottom of my hair next week at Vintage Rocks Belfast, but until then...

Hair Color is unfortunately a box because I am skint (I never recommend coloring your hair at home, always go to a hair color professional if you can.) My peekaboo panel is washed out mermaid and seapunk by Bleach London.
