#snap shadow

Hi everyone,

After showing you the 2 new Fenty Beauty Snap Shadows I picked up yesterday I wanted to show you a make up look using the 3 Deep Neturals palette. When you first look at this palette it can look a little intense but I wanted to show you a look I’ve been doing recently which is a mixture of bright and deeper tones.

For this look I started off with the shade Nudy Butty across my crease for my transition shade which is the nude shade on the top left corner of the palette, this shade is perfect for warming up your eye but isn’t too intense. Next I use the shade Fiya Freak on the centre of my lid to throw a pop of colour and this shade is the orange on the bottom left of the palette. Now I use the shade Shots Fired which is the burgundy shade in the middle on the second row through my crease and outer lid to deepen the look. Lastly I used the shade Heaven Cent which is the shimmery orange on the top row in the middle on the centre of my lid on top of the orange previously put on my centre. I then take my Real technics buffing eyeshadow brush just to blend the look together and take away any harsh colour and there we have it!!

I find using this palette a lot easier then I assumed I would since the colours can look a little intense at first but honestly I am loving this palette, I think so far this palette and the rose palettes are my favourites to use. I’ve been watching a lot of tutorials on how to get these looks so I will be posting more detailed tutorials as I get better at them.

But for now I hope you enjoyed this post and I’ll see you tomorrow.

Lots of love

Hi everyone,

Last year was the first year I actually got to try out Fenty Beauty products and as we saw from my many reviews I tried a whole bunch from the collection and loved it. On the 26th December 19, Fenty released their newest eye creation the Snap Shadows (£21.00), the collection has 8 different palettes consisting of 6 shades each and every palette has a different colour story. The idea being you pick your two favourites palettes and they then click together making your dream combo palette. I love this idea since you gives you complete control on what palettes you actually want to use and put together. What I love most about this selection of palettes and colours and is that each palette only has colours that you would actually use because we’ve all bought palettes in the past where we use like 60/70% of the colours and the rest is left untouched.

For my first purchase of the palettes (there were also on offer when you purchased 2, I believe you got £4.00/£5.00 off ) I decided to get one fun coloured palette and one neutral palette just so I would get good use of them and could mix together. When I saw all the swatches on the Fenty Instagram account I loved 1 True Neturals which is the 1st in the 8 palette collection and as you can see it is a real nude neutral shaded palette with a mixture of matte and shimmers. It has the perfect mixture of light nude shades and then deeper tones so every skin tone can use the palette. I have been using this to make a nude smokey eye with a shimmer in the centre of my eye and brown shades mixed together on my crease. The colours blend so effortlessly and if you’re a fan of Fenty’s eyeshadow formula then you’ll love these even more.

Like I said I wanted to get a neutral coloured palette and then a fun coloured palette so I then picked up 4 Rose which is a gorgous palette full of pink and burgundy shades. This palette was also one of the first to grab my attention since I’ve really gotten into pink eyeshadows the last few months. This palette has a mixture of eyeshadow formulas giving you matte, shimmer and a glitter. These colours are my favourite to play with and basically match all my wardrobe as well.

The best things about all these palettes are they click together, you pick two palettes you like and then push their backs together and it makes the perfect duo palette. This idea is brilliant with the exception of loose eyeshadow palettes this is the first time you can customise mini palettes and put your favourites together. This is also ideal for travelling since you no longer need to bring a big palette with you to use your favourite colours. I think marketing wise the whole design was a great idea from Fenty and is very unique which of course so is the brand itself. This year they are FINALLY releasing a mascara to go into their brand which I’m so excited to get my hands on.

Can’t wait to see what else Fenty release this year.

Lots of love

Hey guys,

After showing you the Snap Shadows in yesterday’s blog I wanted to show you a look I’ve been wearing using the palette 4 - Rose 💗

I’m a little obsessed with this palette and it was one of the first Snap Shadow swatches I saw and straight away was like yep I see it I like it I want it (I’ve been listening to a lot of Ariana lately 😂). For this eyeshadow look I started off wearing the shade Sleepova (pale pink) all over my lid. Then I use the shade LiL Miss (bright pink) all over my crease and then mixed it with Spice Trip (brown) in the crease to deepen the colour. Lastly I used the glitter shade Diva Feva on the centre of my lid to add some shimmer.

In the spirit of having a Fenty Face I then decided to try a little experiment and see what it would look like if I mixed the two Fenty foundations Pro Filt’r and Pro Filt’r Hydrating foundations together. The hydrating foundation is the perfect shade for me (120) but the original formula oxidised on me a little so it goes a bit darker on my skin after a while. A lot of people said mixing the two together actually creates the perfect combo so I decided to give it a go. I have to admit the foundations blended together perfectly leaving my face with a full coverage finish that actually didn’t oxidise on me which is the first time it’s happened so I was over the moon. I have to admit recently I’ve been loving the hydrating foundstion because you still get amazing coverage but it doesn’t feel as thick on the skin. I’ve ever used up my Fenty concealer while doing this look which is a long time coming since I’ve had it since June 2019 so I’m not surprised it finally died.

I also finished this look with the Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip paint in the shade Unbutton which is a gorgeous nude shade that I really need to wear more often. I love this formula because it’s so long lasting on the lips but doesn’t leave your lips dry at all. When I finished this look I decided not to wear eyeliner or mascara and I have to admit I love how much brighter my eyes look. Think I might have to do this more often.

Hope you enjoyed my little get the look post.

Lots of love

Hi everyone,

After watching some Fenty Beauty Snap Shadows tutorials online I decided to get the last two Snap Shadows missing from my collection. Previously I have picked up 1,3,4,5 which are a mixture of warm tones and neutrals palettes which I have basically used everyday since getting them. When I was first buying my palettes I didn’t pay much attention to the cool toned palettes just because I gravitate more towards brighter/ warm toned palettes. But after seeing the palettes in action through tutorials I realised how gorgeous the palettes actually were. Sometimes pictures online don’t always do the palette justice so I want to show you the two new editions to my little palette family.

First off we have 2. Cool Neturals which is a mixture of cool tones colours with a pop of colour. I love the colours in this palette, they’re so different to what I would usually use and get on the eye they look gorgeous. The shimmer shades have a silver undertone in each colour which makes them blend beautifully with the mattes. I also love that they threw in purple tone to this palette to add some fun to the cool toned looks.

While I was looking at this palette I finally had a proper chance to look at palette 6. Smokey and I have to admit a palette like this is very out of my comfort zone but I was so obsessed with the glitter black on the bottom left corner that I was instantly converted. On its own I probably wouldn’t go for a palette like this but putting it together with palette 2 became a whole game changer. The palettes compliment each other perfectly. I got this palette because I actually wanted to learn to do a smokey eye and I feel like if I buy a palette that is literally designed for smokey eyes I’ll have to start practising and getting use out of it. I have attempted a few smokey eyes using the colours in this palette and I have to admit I wasn’t as I thought I would be, obviously need more practise.

As I’ve said before cool tones aren’t my first choice of eyeshadow colours I would normally go for but these two palettes have completely changed my mind and really won me over to the cool toned world. I will be posting videos/ pics of looks I’ve done with these palettes as I said at the beginning of this year I want to venture out and try new things especially when it comes to makeup comfort zones.

Lots of love
