Natural Beauty Life Hacks

No1

Coconut oil

I have been so glad to discover this one.

Skin- Coconut oil has now pretty much replaced my moisturisers. I also use it with sugar to make a good scrub. It's also great to use with shaving. It can also be used as an under eye cream.

Hair- It has been said that coconut oil doesn't only condition the hair well but stimulates hair growth too. It can prevent other hair problems such as dandruff.

Mascara My Top 3

No 1 Loreal Telescopic (extra black)

I have tried a lot of mascaras in my lifetime but I always default back to this one. I get the most comments about how long my eyelashes are wearing this mascara. The style of the wand creates amazing results. The only downside I would say is when it's brand new it can get a bit messy but I'm used to applying it now. I have yet to find a mascara that lengthens my lashes and frames my eyes as well as this one. Love.

No 2  Benefit Roller Lash

This is the best free sample I ever had. I will definitely be purchasing this, the sample ran out quickly. I find this mascara similar to Benefit's 'They're Real' mascara but more lengthening and easier to remove.

No 3 Benefit They're Real Mascara

I found this created the best volume out of all three and I found it neat and very easy to apply. The lashes were all separated nicely. The only downside is it's quite difficult to remove but it lasts so well. I also noticed there is now a special remover for it, which is a bonus.

Sleek i-Devine Palette

                   

I have been on the look out for some good value eye shadow palettes. I tried and tested a few for you all and discovered these little gems. Sleek i-Devine eye shadow palettes had a great range and I had some trouble picking. I chose vintage romance as I adore golds and purples and the oh so special palette for the pink shades.

I only paid £7.99 each for these, there are 12 shades in each. Overall I found the colours were well pigmented and very good value for money.

Oh so special palette shades

BOW, ORGANZA, RIBBON, GIFT BASKET, GLITZ, CELEBRATE, PAMPER, GATEAU, THE MAIL, BOXED, WRAPPED UP, NOIR 

Vintage romance shades

Pretty in Paris, Meet in Madrid, Court in Cannes, Lust in LA, Romance in Rome, Propose in Prague, A Vow in Venice, Marry in Monte Carlo, Honeymoon in Hollywood, Bliss in Barcelona, Forever in Florence, Love in London 

Here are some looks I tried out.

Oh so special

For this look I applied Organza on the lid and blended out with Gift basket in the middle to outer edge. In the outer edge I used celebrate, I also used gateau on the lash line.

Vintage romance

I applied Meet in Madrid on the lid and tear duct. Marry in Monte Carlo in the crease, Honeymoon in Hollywood in the outer corners, blended with Forever in Florence to darken the outer corners. 

I used Real Techniques Make-Up Brushes: Your Eyes Enhanced Starter Set to apply these looks. Great set of brushes, has everything you need and great value.
