FOTD: Purple smokey eye

Hello everyone!

I was playing around with one of my favourite palettes, the Professional Eyeshadow Palette from Active Cosmetics, and I really liked the end result.  The lighting in not great and the eye make-up was much darker in person but I wanted to show you my Face Of The Day nonetheless.  Here are some photos of yesterday's FOTD!


Here's a list of everything I used:

  • Nivea Men Sensitive Post Shave Balm (as a primer)
  • Essence Stay All Day 16h Foundation (20 Soft Beige) mixed with a little moisturiser for lighter coverage
  • Essence Stay All Day 16h Concealer (20 Soft Beige)
  • Yesensy Blusher  (07)
  • Catrice Prime And Fine Mattifying Powder - Waterproof
Eyes - 
  • Active Cosmetics Professional Eyeshadow Palette
I also used this palette in a previous FOTD post!


These are the colours I used for this smokey eye! (Dark brown, purple and a nude highlight colour)
  • Yesensy Retractable Eyeliner (01 Black)
  • L'Oreal Lineur Intense Brush Tip Liquid Eyeliner (Carbon Black)
  • Essence I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara 

Eyebrows - 

  • Essence Eyebrow Stylist Set (01 Natural Brunette Style)
  • Essence Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Mascara (Browny Brows 02)

Lips -

DIY: Natural deodorant (spray)

Image
Hello everyone!  If, like me, you hate the chemical-laden, store-bought deodorants,  y ou can make your own natural deodorant from scratch � in both  solid  and spray form.  Since I�ve already posted a  DIY solid deodorant recipe , I want to share my favourite spray deodorant formula, too.  This one is way easier and quicker to make.  Enjoy! Ingredients: 60 ml (2 fl oz) witch hazel (astringent) 12 drops of essential oil - Choose an oil with antibacterial and anti-fungal properties such as, sweet orange, tea tree, lemongrass, lavender, etc. Method: Pour your ingredients into a spray bottle and screw the top back on.  Shake well before use.  It's super simple to make and it  really does work ! Have you ever tried using a DIY deodorant?  Do you prefer a solid or a spray formula? Have a great day!

Halloween is quickly approaching so  today I want to share  with  you an  easy, last minute costume  idea .  Want to dress up as  Wally   from  Where's Wally?   (aka Waldo)  this Halloween ?  -  Easy!   You can probably make this costume  from clothes you already have!   Wally's distinctive outfit includes a red and white striped shirt, beanie, black glasses and jeans .   The striped shirt and jeans might look like a normal, everyday outfit, but once you add the glasses and a red and white pom-pom beanie, you won't be mistaken for anyone but Wally/Waldo.  And don't forget the brown shoes and messenger bag to complete the costume.  You can also add a walking cane if you can find one.  What are you going to be for Halloween?   Similar posts: Outfit inspiration (Halloween edition) - Wednesday Addams Outfit inspiration (Halloween edition) - The Little Mermaid
