E.L.F Make Up Brush Review!

Hey guys so I have something different for you today! 

Instead of nails I have an E.L.F. Make Up Brush Review! Now when I say I'm completely new to the 'make up world' I mean it, I'm 18 years old and the only make up I have depended on was my trusty concealer, eyeliner and mascara! But since starting this blog with Rosie I have started to get into make up more and more, constantly watching youtube tutorials and I now own two lipsticks (which I might do a review on soon depends how this one goes) and 5 make up brushes! I will hopefully soon be able to go shopping and get some more make up and might even do a haul!

The brushes I bought I would say would be the 'beginners brushes' so if you're starting out like me I would definitely recommend these 5! 

Halloween Tutorial: SUGAR SKULLS

Hey everyone, here is another Halloween Tutorial for you! Hope you like it! P.S HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Products used: White, Black, Red face paint, Number 17 Lipstick in a dark purple shade, and a small sponge and small paintbrush.

Ok, so below is a close up of what Beckiie did on me, how amazing is that! Keep reading to know how to create this creepy sugar skull look!

Ok, so here are the steps to create this look:

1. First off, cover your face in white face paint, preferably use a sponge and it will cover your face more quickly.
2. Next, with a small paint brush, outline your eyes with a circle using the black face paint.
3. Using the red face paint, create little circle shapes or half flowers? Around the black around your eyes.
4. Then getting the black again put a small black line through the red around the eyes.
5. Next for the nose, really we just copied a picture, and it's hard to explain how to do it so you can just look at the picture above.
6. For the mouth, I used a dark pinky, purple shade of lipstick but you can use whatever you have, just make sure it's a dark colour because that will add to the creepy effect.
7. Then with the black draw a line from one side of your face to the other connecting the lips, then create small lines through that line to make stitches on the mouth.
8. For the last part, you want to draw a small half sun on your chin, using the red and outlining it with the black.

And there you have it, a Sugar Skull Halloween Tutorial! If you are wondering about my hair, Beckiie is going to do a post on that and how she did it, so come back and find out how!

Halloween Tutorial: RED BAT EYE!

Hey guys so here is another Halloween tutorial for you! I hope you like it!

The products I used: Red face paint, Sponge, Small paint brush, Black face paint.

How to achieve this look:

• First of all you can apply white face paint over the face to make it white but I just concentrated on the eye.
• Next get your red face paint and dab a sponge or small paint brush into it, create a circle all around the eye, try to make it as even as possible but don't worry if it isn't perfect because you can always change it by using white face paint around it.
• Next I used a small thin paint brush I drew a line across the lash line and out to create a flick.
• I then created small bat like shapes across the eye with the black face paint and using the small thin paint brush.

I hope you enjoyed this simple Halloween look, I think its great if you don't want to look too scary but still want to have something unusual.

Simple Halloween MAKE-UP TUTORIAL!

Hey everyone! So it's getting close to Halloween now and I know you're all at least doing something for it, so I thought I'd come up with my own Halloween Make-up Tutorial. I have taken other ideas and techniques from youtubers who have done Halloween Make-up Tutorials so I hope you like my idea!

Products used:  Simple Soothing Facial Toner, Simple Hydrating Moisturiser, Simple Rapid Action Spot Zapper, Max Factor Colour Adapt in Natural (70), Rimmel London Concealer in Soft Honey (103), Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder in Transparent (001), Unbranded Eyeshadow Palette, Rimmel London Soft Kohl eyeliner in Jet Black, Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara, Smudging tool, MUA smokey eye palette, unbranded dark purple lipstick. 

How to achieve this look:

1. First of all apply your foundation and normal face routine.
2. If you'd like you can add white face paint onto your skin to make it paler, I didn't have white face paint at the time so I couldn't do it.
3. Next I filled in my brows just to make my face look more structured, plus I always fill in my brows anyway, haha.
4. Then you need to start adding the eye shadow to create dark eyes, first just apply black eye shadow over your eyes and then blend it into your crease, it doesn't matter if it's messy because you're meant to be dead!
5. I then used a dark eyeliner and created a very thick line over my eye to line my lashes, I then used a smudging tool to smudge it all over my eye. 
6. Blend out your eyeshadow as much as you prefer and how far out you want it, remember don't worry if it looks messy.
7. Then bring thick eyeliner down on your lower lashes and smudge that out as well, you can also bring the eye shadow down as well to make it smokier. 
8. Curl your lashes or apply falsies if you'd like. If not apply your usual mascara, I used Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara, it's fantastic!
9. I then apply my dark purple lipstick quite thickly over my lips, I created such a great look as it almost highlighted the inner part of my lips and darkened the outer part. 
10. Then for the final part of this Halloween look, I used the same black eye shadow i used for my eyes across the temples of my forehead and brought it up a bit more just to create a dark highlight.
11. I then contoured my cheeks with the black as well and made quite a think line which creates a dead, skeleton look.
12. I also contoured the sides of my nose as well just to make it look longer and highlight all the lines on my face.

I've loved doing this look and I hope it gave you some ideas on how to look for Halloween this year. I can't wait for Halloween, I love it!

Favourite MUA Products!

Hey! I've picked some of my favourite MUA products and thought I'd share them with you guys. MUA isn't my favourite brand of make-up but they definitely have some great stuff!

Ok, so the first products I'm showing you guys are these above. On the left is a nail varnish I recently got for Autumn in the colour Plum Noir, it's a deep purple colour that looks absolutely amazing on my nails! And unlike most nail polishes it didn't chip for quite a while which is great! Next are the two palettes, my friend bought me these for my birthday actually, one is called 'Smoke Screen' and the other is 'Pink Sorbet'. I would say I have used the smokey palette more than the pinks just because I love having dark smokey eyes when I got out. I would definitely recommend these palettes though because using three colours, one for the inner part of your eye, the outer part and the crease is great to get you started when creating the same coloured make-up look! Last in this is a Gold Glitter Eyeliner, I have had this for ages but have only recently started trying it out, I think it looks fantastic on, it isn't dull or doesn't move off your eyelid, it's definitely great for a party!

Ok so this is a palette I use everyday, mostly for highlighting and blush. The colours consist of (from left to right from the top to bottom) Pistaschio, Mocca, Ice, Grape, Chocolate, Cookie, Pink Sparkle, Primrose, Bronzed, Shimmer Kiss. The colours along the top are eye shadows and the colours along the bottom are blushes, bronzer and highlighter. I have already used the purply colour and the dark brown colour and they are amazing, they stay on all night and apply really nicely! The blushes are a great match for any ones cheek and it's nice they have two shades, one darker than the other. The highlighter I also use under my eyes everyday and down my noise just to brighten my face and it looks great!


I would definitely recommend all the products I have shown here, they are all super cheap so great if you need new make-up face and are on a budget! MUA products are always super cheap but are good quality.

DELIVERY: Make-Up Brush Set!

Hey guys, it's Rosie! I thought I would share with you guys the delivery I got through the post! The make-up brushes I was originally using were average and they were ok for me to use but I thought I needed a new set with lots of different brushes that I could use to help create different looks. So I ordered a set off eBay for £9.98, they are a Professional German Brand called 'Fraulein 38'. I thought they looked amazing in the picture and there was 21 pieces in the set so I thought they would be perfect for me as I'm not looking for really expensive brushes, I am just looking for practical brushes that can be used in many different ways.

As you can see I have put in a close-up of each brush, the first and section brushes are used for eyebrows. I already had the second one but another one won't hurt! The third brush is obviously used for eyeshadow and the next four brushes are used for fine use like when you want to apply liquid eyeliner or a pigment.

These brushes here are used for eyeshadow appliance and blending. I have already used some of these brushes and they are amazing, so much better than ones I was previously using. As you can see some of them are thicker, these ones are used for blending, the flat ones are used for eyeshadow and the angled brushes are great for blending through the crease of your eye.

The first brush here is a flat foundation brush, I was a bit annoyed because I really wanted to invest in a foundation brush that I can use to buff the foundation into my skin and this set does not have one, however I used the brush shown and it's amazing! It's like the one I had before but it's so soft and applied my foundation flawlessly! The next two brushes are used for applying blush on your cheeks or you could use them to apply powder but I use the big brush for that. The angled brush in the middle is great for contouring also the one on the end on the right which is fanned out for creating quite a harsh contour line. And the big brush I use for applying powder.

Here I've just shown a photograph of all of the brushes that I got, they came in a leather fold out case and each brush was slotted in with plastic around the handle and brush to make sure they don't get damaged. I'm so glad I purchased these brushes, so far I love them!


If you are looking for a lot of brushes that are great for everything and are not looking to spend a lot of money then I would definitely say to purchase these, they're great!


If you liked this post or are thinking about purchasing these brushes then look them up on eBay. Please tag rrbeautyxo on twitter/instagram/tumblr if you have any questions about the brushes or any questions in general, we'd love to hear from you!

Autumnal MAKE-UP Look!

Hey guys, so because it's getting colder here in the United Kingdom, I thought I would do a make-up look on a dark colour. So therefore I used barely any make-up on my eyes and used a dark lip colour! I hope you enjoy this look and keep reading!

What I used: Simple Soothing Facial Toner, Simple Hydrating Moisturiser, Simple Rapid Action Spot Zapper, Max Factor Colour Adapt in Natural (70), Rimmel London Concealer in Soft Honey (103), Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder in Transparent (001), Rimmel London Soft Kohl eyeliner in Jet Black, Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara & Extra Super Lash Mascara, "17" Lipstick (not sure what the colour is called), Unbranded Eyeshadow Palette. 

What I did to achieve this look:
Step 1: I applied my toner, moisturiser and spot zapper like I normally do. 
Step 2: I then used a Classic Paddle Foundation Brush to apply my foundation all over my face.
Step 3: Using my concealer I applied it with a small flat brush underneath my eyes and over my spots.
Step 4: I used a powder brush to apply my Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder, to keep my foundation in place. 
Step 5: I filled in my eyebrows using my unbranded eyeshadow palette with a brown colour, using a small flat brush.
Step 6: Now that my face is done, I proceed onto doing my eye make-up. I first line my eyelid with quite a thin line of black eyeliner, I would usually do my water line as well, but with this look I didn't.
Step 7: I then curled my lashes, and applied a coat of Lash Accelerator Mascara and then Extra Super Lash Mascara both in black, both by Rimmel London.
Step 8: I then applied the "17" lipstick over my lips to create the dark, sultry look. 


I hope you enjoy this look just as much as I did doing it! I think it's great for Autumn and I'm definitely going to try this look out again for a night out.

Get Ready With Me: Slightly Tousled/Curled Hair with Neutral Eyes and a POP of colour for the lips!

Hey everyone, it's Rosie again! I was just going to do a hair tutorial but my hair is so hard to handle when using products to give it volume and curl as it's just so straight it flattens easily :( Anyway, I tried to create a slightly tousled, curled hair look with neutral make-up but with a pop of colour for the lips, I hope you enjoy getting ready with me! :D

Products I used for my hair: Hairbrush, Salt Spray, Hairspray, Curling Iron, Heat Protection Spray, Batiste Dry Shampoo, Teasing Comb.
Products I used for my make-up:  Simple Soothing Facial Toner, Simple Hydrating Moisturiser, Simple Rapid Action Spot Zapper, Max Factor Colour Adapt in Natural (70), Rimmel London Concealer in Soft Honey (103), Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder in Transparent (001), Unbranded Eyeshadow Palette, Rimmel London Blush in Santa Rose (001), Rimmel London Soft Kohl eyeliner in Jet Black, Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara & Extra Super Lash Mascara, a Pink Lipstick (sorry I don't know the brand name but I'm pretty sure you can get the same colour in the Rimmel London Kate Moss collection, or you can just match my lipstick to another one), Strawberry Lipbalm, Eyelash Curler.

How to achieve this look:
Hair: 
Step 1: First of all I brushed through my hair, this is the day after I've washed it.
Step 2: I then flipped my hair over and sprayed the underneath with my dry shampoo, then in the roots of my hair on top, gently massaging that through.
Step 3: I then used a cheap Salt Spray from Superdrug that you can get for £2.99!!
Step 4: Sectioning off my hair I sprayed on the under layers of my hair and ran my fingers through it to create volume and a slight wave. I then repeated this all over the rest of my hair.
Step 5: I then sprayed my hair with Heat Protective Spray and curled random parts of my hair that I wanted to have more volume and wave.
Step 6: I then used "Exquisite Hairspray" from Superdrug and sprayed that all over my hair.
Step 7: If you then want to have even more volume, spray your hair with the Salt Spray again!
Step 8: Finally I used a teasing comb to lightly tease my hair where I've curled it.

Note: I personally have just started using Salt Spray for about a month, as my hair is very naturally straight I have to do a lot for it to have a wave and stay in that wave! Also I would say that Salt Spray makes your hair feel quite dry, but then I knew that would happen anyway because it's meant to create that beachy wave look! :)

Make-up:
Step 1: I first applied my toner all over my face.
Step 2: Next I used my moisturiser to hydrate my skin.
Step 3: I applied a Spot Zapper on my spots as they tend to become rashy and very red :(
Step 4: Applied my Max Factor foundation with a Classic Paddle brush all over my face.
Step 5: I then used my concealer underneath my eyes using a small flat brush.
Step 6: I covered my face with the Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder to hold my foundation in place.
Step 7: I used a small flat brush with a brown shadow from an unbranded eyeshadow palette to fill in my brows.
Step 8: Using my eyeliner I gently created a thin line just above my lash line to create quite a neutral look and as if I have no eyeliner on.
Step 9: I gently curled my lashes.
Step 10: Then applied a coat of the Lash Accelerator and then the Extra Super Lash Mascara.
Step 11: I used a blusher brush to gently sweep over my cheeks with the Rimmel London blush.
Step 12: Applying the strawberry lipbalm and then waiting a couple minutes, I then applied the Pink Lipstick.


I hope you enjoyed how I did this hair/make-up tutorial! If you have any more suggestions as to what I can do and what you'd like to see, then tag rrbeautyxo on instagram/twitter & also check out our tumblr page!

My EVERYDAY Make-up!

Hey guys, it's Rosie! Ok, so I was thinking of what to post and I thought about doing my every-day make-up that I wear to school! It's very simple as I don't have long to get ready, but here it is!


I used: Simple Soothing Facial Toner, Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser, Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation in Natural (70), Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder, An unbranded Eyeshadow Palette, Rimmel London Soft Kohl Eyeliner in Jet Black (061), Eyelash Curler, Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara, Rimmel London Extra Super Lash Mascara, Eyebrow Brush, Rimmel London Blush in Santa Rose (001), No7 Lipgloss (sorry it doesn't have a name), a Bright Pink Lipstick (don't know what brand, it doesn't say and I can't remember).

How I achieve my everyday look:
Step 1: First I apply my Toner using cotton wool all over my face.
Step 2: I then apply my moisturiser.
Step 3: Using my Max Factor foundation I apply it all over my face using a Classic Paddle Brush.
Step 4: I then apply my powder to set the foundation.
Step 5: I then use a eyebrow brush to brush through my brows to make sure they're in the right shape, I then use my unbranded palette of eyeshadows to fill in my brows with a small flat brush.
Step 6: I then apply my eyeliner across my eyelid and create a small flick.
Step 7: I then use a brown eyeshadow from my palette and apply that very lightly just below my bottom lash line.
Step 8: I then curl my lashes.
Step 9: Using the Lash Accelerator Mascara I use a couple coats just to fan out the lashes.
Step 10: I then use my second mascara the Rimmel London Extra Super Lash and apply as many coats as I think my lashes need until they are really long and look volumized.
Step 11: I use the second mascara lightly on my bottom lashes as well.
Step 12: Using the Santa Rose blush I lightly dust my cheeks with a blusher brush.
Step 13: I then used a Pink lipstick over my lips, then went over that with the No7 lipgloss just to give it some shine.


I hope you enjoy knowing how I do my everyday make-up! If you have any suggestions as to what make-up looks you'd like to see then tag rrbeautyxo on Twitter and Instagram and also check out our Tumblr page! I'd love to have some new ideas that you'd like to see so feel free to request something!

Review on MUA EXTREME felt liner!

Hey guys it's Rosie! Today i'm doing a review on a new product i've just recently used,
the MUA Extreme felt liner!


I used the felt liner on a smokey eye, I would say that you have to press quite hard or either go over the same area a couple times because it doesn't come out like for example a liquid liner. Using a
felt tip is something different to what I normally use, however I do think this product is worth
trying out if you like a harsh, dark liner.


The product was great for the price it was sold at, at your local Superdrug, they are selling it for £2.00!!
I would say that is a bargain!

I hope you like this review, MUA products are fantastic, they have a great range and at such low prices! If you like this product, please tag rrbeautyxo on Twitter and Instagram and if you liked the review or are planning on purchasing this product.

Smokey Eyes!

Hi! This is Rosie, this is my first post, so don't judge too harsh! ;)

These are Rebecca's eyes done by me, smokey eyes are very popular and are great for a night out!

I used Max Factor Colour Adapt in number 70 (natural), Rimmel London Stay Matte Power in 001 Transparent, Rimmel London Soft Kohl eyeliner in 061 Jet Black, Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara, MUA trio eyeshadow (Smoke Screen), a simple brown eye-shadow (the correct colour for her eyebrows).

 
Step 1: I applied the Max Factor foundation with a Classic Paddle brush under the eyes and on top of the eyes acting as a primer.
Step 2: I then used a power brush to apply the Stay Matte powder which will keep the foundation in place.
Step 3: I used a eye-shadow brush and used the Blend and Shadow mid shade from the MUA smokey trio eye-shadow and applied that half way across the eye from the inside to the middle.
Step 4: I then applied the Define and Line dark shade from the middle to the outside.
Step 5: I then used a blending brush to blend the two colours together and to elongate the smokey eye i went out a little further than the eye lid and blended in the crease of the eye lid.
Step 6: I blended until it looked the same on both eyes.
Step 7: I then used a eyelash curler to curl up the lashes.
Step 8: Then applied to Rimmel London Lash Accelerator mascara, using a couple coats.
Step 9: I then used the Rimmel London Kohl eyeliner on the water line from the outside only half way a long.
Step 10: I then applied the mascara again on the bottom lashes.
Step 11: To fill in her brows i used a small eye-shadow brush that is flat and gently blended the brown eye-shadow into her eyebrows.
