A week of #Instagram

Hi beauties,

So this past week I've been getting into using Instagram - I'm a little obsessed. Who doesn't love a good filter! Think food, FOTD's, and outfit pics - you can find me here. As I'm quite new to it I thought I'd see if any of you lovelies are on there - leave your links in the comments so that I can take a look :) And if you're on the land of Twitter please come and say hi too - @samanthadavismua.

Lots of love!

Bedroom Beauty Challenge - Sprinkle of Glitter

Hi beauties!

I hope you're having a lovely Sunday - in between baking some yummy cookies, I wanted to do a quick blog post for you.

So I'm sure many of you read the lovely Sprinkle of Glitter's blog, she also makes Youtube videos, where she talks about beauty, fashion, life and her little munchkin, baby Glitter (Darcy). She's also prone to an impromptu sing song, which I always appreciate!

Now, on to the challenge! The idea is to experiment with makeup, and each month she provides the inspirational words for you to get out your make up bag and create a new look! This month's challenge was Vivacious Vixen. Now I knew I definitely wanted to get the false lashes out for this look, and I was thinking sultry eyes, but also something quite wearable. So here's what I came up with!

I think this is such a fun idea, and will definitely try and take part each month! If any of you are planning on taking part, please let me know as I'd love to take a look at your lovely make up looks!

Face of the Day - Russian Red

Hi beauties,

So I'm making the most of this lovely long break from work, and I thought I'd do a quick post on my make up look today! 

Face: 

Foundation - Rimmel Match Perfection (I love this foundation. For once a shade that 

works for my very pale skin!)

Concealer - Collection 2000

Powder - Rimmel Stay Matte in 001 Transparent

Eyes:

Primer - E.l.f. Eyelid primer in Sheer (I've heard this is a good dupe for Urban Decay primer potion - I couldn't say though as I haven't tried Urban Decay's. I plan on purchasing it soon though, so I'll do a little comparison)

Eye shadow - Naked 2 palette (Verve all over the lid, tease through the crease and a touch of snakebite in the outer corner) 

Mascara - Maybelline's The Falsies. This stuff is amazing!! It gives so much volume and length, I love it!

Cheeks:

Blush - Bourjois no 74 Rose

Lips:

Lipstick - MAC Russian Red Matte

I used to be scared to try bright lip colours, but I've really tried to experiment recently with bright and bold colours and I think a red lip looks so pretty on any skin tone - rock the red lip ladies!

Hope you're all having a lovely day!
