Palette Collection

Hi :)

I love collecting eyeshadow palettes. As I typed that, I inwardly cringed because I only have a few palettes! However, this is because I manage to persuade myself whilst I am shopping in Boots or Superdrug that I don't need them and that I need to use my other palettes more before I can justify buying more. Saying this, I still want to share with you the palettes that I do own and what I think of them :).

The smallest palette I own is a quad from Avon in the colour 'Stone Taupes'. I love the shades in this as well as the fact that the colours are numbered therefore showing you which shade to apply first. It also has a mirror so it is amazing for travel especially as it is so small.

I own one palette from MUA which has 12 shades and is called 'Heaven and Earth'. I like the nearly all of the shades in this palette however I think compared to some other eyeshadows, they need a lot more product to be applied to get the same effect. As the price of these palettes are £4, you expect them to not be as good as palettes like Urban Decay or Too faced. For the price, I think they are amazing and you can still get a really nice look with the shades but it just takes a little longer. It would be great if you are just getting in to make up because it is really cheap!

I have one palette from Sleek which also has 12 shades and is called 'Storm'. I like most of these shades however I don't think I would use the green and blue colours because I love neutrals and blues and greens go a bit out of my comfort zone. I think this palette is a good all round palette and would be great if you wanted to start getting in to make up, especially as it is only £7.99.

The biggest palette I own is the 100-piece eyeshadow palette from Elf. It has a huge range of colours and I think when I bought it, it was on offer for £5 which was a total bargain! It has so many beautiful colours in and some more 'out-there' colours for when you are experimenting or feeling brave. However as it is so big it is not the best for travel! I would recommend this product if you like to experiment or you like doing make up on others.

My final palette is Urban Decay's Naked 2. I was given this as a present by two of my friends. I love all of the shades in this palette and I love the brush which comes with it. Usually the applicators which come with eyeshadow palettes, I find, are useless however with this I use the brush all of the time. The palette costs £38 so it is not cheap but if you love make up and can afford it, then I really recommend it as the eyeshadows are amazing. I think this is the best palette for colour pay-off.

Current make up routine

Hi :)

I wanted to share my current make up routine with you guys. This blog is about what makes me feel best and even though I do go out without make up on when I want to, I still love to use make up and to experiment with it.

Currently I am in love with Maybelline's BB cream for oily skin. I have quite oily skin and I have some spots but I don't really want to wear foundation everyday to school. I think this BB cream covers well and it doesn't come off of my face until I wash it off in the evenings which is a definite 'need' for me with a BB cream/foundation. I put this on my face using Real Technique's Expert Face Brush. I love this brush but I think I would like a bigger brush to apply my BB cream with so if anyone has any recommendations please leave them in the comments :).

For under my eyes, I use a concealer from Avon's Extra lasting range in the shade light. To apply this, I use the Expert face brush as well. I set my BB cream and concealer with the Creme puff pressed powder by Max Factor using my Bourjois kabuki brush. I love this powder because it keeps my make up on all day, however I am thinking about buying a new powder brush because even though it does its job really well, I find the bristles to be quite harsh. If anyone has any recommendations please leave them in the comments :).

I contour my face using the Sleek contour kit. I love the bronzer in this as it is matte and doesn't make me look like a disco ball! I use the brush blush from Avon to apply this.

After all of this, I apply the Porefessional primer on my eyelids, ready for my eyeshadow. I am currently loving the Naked 2 palette which my friends gave me for my birthday! I especially love the shades Tease, YDK and Busted. After this, I use the Jemma Kid eyeliner in Black in my water line. I use the Avon Superextend eyeliner for above my lash line. Then to finish the look, I curl my eyelashes and just before applying the Badgal lash mascara by Benefit.

I hope you enjoyed this post :)

Top 5 music picks

Hi :)

Currently, I am signed up to Apple music (3 month free subscription - who wouldn't?!). I am really enjoying listening to music whilst finishing some work before enjoying my summer (I say summer loosely, it is England after all).
I thought I would share my top 5 songs at the moment.

1. Oh my love by The Score

I found this through the Asda advert. I loved the song which was being played in the background so I found the original version and I absolutely adore it.

2. Black magic by Little Mix

I found this song through watching a music channel on the TV. This song came on and I instantly fell in love with it.

3. Hotel ceiling by Rixton

I think this song has really sad lyrics but I love it anyway. I found it when I was trying to find another song by Rixton and I started to listen to the rest of their album 'Let the road'. I adore this album and have loved all of the songs which I have listened to from it.

4. Speakerphone by Rixton

This is another song from the same album by Rixton, 'Let the road'. I listen to this song non stop as I do all of these songs.

5. American Dream by MKTO

I literally just heard this song today through watching a youtube video. I think it is amazing and I love the chorus.

I hope you listen to these songs and enjoy them just as much as I do.

Hi :)

As this is the first post on my blog, I thought I would explain why I wanted to start a blog in the first place and why I named it 'Feel best'. Even though I know that I may get 1 or 2 people reading this at the most, I wanted to create this blog to be able to write about things which I enjoy and ultimately make me feel at my best. I thought it may become my escape from pressures at school as in September I will start year 11. Also, I thought that whilst sharing what makes me feel happy, it may inspire people or help people feel at their best.

I know this is quite a boring post, but I thought I should start off my blog just explaining why I started it. However, after this hopefully you will find my posts more interesting. I will be posting about things which make me happy for example, beauty.

I hope someone is reading this and is excited like me for what is to come of this blog.
