Kylie Jenner Inspired|FOTD

September 17, 2015September 16, 2015Beauty1 Comment

Sometimes I hate the fact that the camera smooths and blanks out some of the make-up which is so vibrant in real life, but the show must go on and here I am showing you my face inspired by the beautiful Kylie Jenner – yes I am aware I look nothing like her!

Base

Now I am very pale compared to Miss Jenner so getting that warm glow is a little bit more difficult and the camera wiped out all the careful contouring I did; however for foundation I used the Rimmel Wake Me Foundation in Light Porclain which has light reflecting particles which on paler skin can look a little like you’ve smothered glitter on your face so don’t let people get too close; however it has a good coverage and blends easily. To concealer I used the Maybelline Fit Me! Concealer in 15 which helps hide dark circles and blemishes with a creamy texture which blends like a dream.

I can’t be bothered to spend hours on my contouring so I applied some of Illamasqua’s Cream Pigment in Hollow which is the perfect contour colour for paler girls. Kylie is not the biggest blusher fan so instead I attempted to get that warm glow she seems to effortlessly have by using the NO7 Skin Illuminator.

Eyes

Recently there has been a lot of shimmery gold on her eyes so I immediately went with my Inglot Quad using 11 all over the lid and 401 in the crease with a little bit of 330 to highlight underneath my brows. It’s a super simple shadow look which is right up my street for the coming autumn months. For liner I used the MAC Gel Liner in Blacktrack just to create a thin band for the false lashes to sit on and with a tiny flick to give the whole look a slightly more feline feel.

Two coats of Rimmel Wake Me Up Wonder’full Mascara on both my top and bottom lashes before popping the Eylure Urban Tropics Lashes in Rough Utopia which are a choppy lash which adds a slight grunge look to the whole thing.

Finishing Touches

Lips was an easy choice; MAC Lip Liner in Whirl all over the lips without over drawing them because I look like a clown every time I try. I love this lip colour because I think it’s perfect for every season and occasion.

Brighton Metropole Hilton|Review

August 10, 2015August 10, 2015LifestyleLeave a Comment

I recently took myself on a little mini break to Brighton and I stayed in the Brighton Metropole Hotel which is a Hilton Hotel and I thought I would do a mini review incase any one was interested in my experience whilst staying there.

Price

I paid a non refundable price of £108.75 for a Hilton Double with a Sea View. When I arrived I actually upgraded my room to a Deluxe Double with a Sea View for only an extra £50; not at all necessary but as I was treating myself I didn’t mind too much. You don’t have to go non-refundable but if you go for more of a flexible package the price can go up.

Room Value

My room was lovely, nothing super special in decoration but thats what I like when booking with Hilton you know you are going to get a comfortable room which is clean and tidy and i’m never going to say no to a king size bed. As I had a sea view I was very lucky to have a gorgeous view across at the West Pier which was lovely to wake up to in the morning. Also I am a sucker for a cute coffee station and the bathroom had a bath and a shower!

Customer Service and Food

All the staff were absolutely delightful, really helpful and never pushed you to purchase anything extra. I ordered room service instead of using the hotel dining room and firstly the range of food was amazing and fantastically made. I opted for a healthy but packed full of protein salad followed by a slightly less healthy cheeseboard.

If you are looking for a get away without leaving the country then I would highly recommend a stay at the Brighton Hilton – they also have a spa, pool and gym which i didn’t get to visit but heard great things about!
