The Art of Strobing


Have you heard of strobing before? Probably not as it's only become a big thing in the past couple of months, so much so that its dubbed to be even more flattering than contouring and much much easier!!
So here's the definition: The new way to define facial features and create a gorgeous glow, strobing is about highlighting the face using light and only light.
It's supposed to create the effect similar to that of an actual strobe light (hence the name). The best part!? It's super quick and easy to do! And a absolutely great product designed specifically for this new trend is MAC's strobe cream
MAC strobe cream £24.50

But if like me you don't want to splash the cash and only want to try it out then the high street offers some great cheap alternatives, such as the collection highlighting stick (4.99, boots) and MUA undress  me powdered highlighter (£3.99, superdrug) which is my favourite combo! As the collection cream highlighter is soglowyand fresh with out being sparkly (great on its own) but if you really want to push the boat out if you're going on a night out or just anywhere special add a little bit of the MUA undress me highlighter which will just give it a whole other dimension and make your skin all glowy and gorgeous!
At the moment I'm really loving the in your face glowy highlighter (but not glittery!), I know it's not to everyone's taste but there's just something about this technique that makes your skin look so healthy and flawless
 
Thanks for reading!

The MAC-Daddy Of All Presents


As you may, or may not know, Saturday was my 18th birthday, yep! that's right, I am now officially an adult (God help us all!). I also share my birthday with my beautiful twin sister charlotte, who is now my favourite ever person for buying me my first MAC palette, insert and eye shadows EEK!!

L-R: Sable, Wedge, Amber lights, Shroom, Retro-Speck and Nocturnelle
I had always wanted a MAC eye shadow palette and I was speechless when I woke up on Saturday morning to unwrap these beauties!!! do I have the best sister or do I have the best sister!?
I had written down a list of shades that I wanted and she got it spot on with the bronze/goldie tones that look amazing on my blue eyes! MAC eye shadows are really as amazing as everyone says they stay put all day, not a crease in sight! with their beautiful buttery soft texture with hardly any fall out. although they're £10 a pop I have definitely found my new obsession, I reckon I'll have about 3 more palettes by the start of 2015 (there goes my bank balance). I'd say although I'd wish that they were cheaper, they are definitely worth the money, I've never had eye shadow even half as good as the lil' circles of joy!

L-R: Sable, Wedge, Amber Lights, Shroom, Retro-Speck, Nocturnelle



 
Have you tried any MAC eye shadows? What did you think and what shade is your favourite (I need suggestions).
 
Thanks
