Colour Themed Custom Eyeshadow Palettes

Image
I absolutely loved my customised Z-Palette made up of all Make Up Geek Eyeshadow Pans, however, when Revolution Pro came out with small magnetic palettes for a fraction of the price (£4) of the small Z-Palettes (£9.50), I thought I would organise my single eyeshadow pans into a few different smaller palettes. I ended up buying 4 of the small magnetic palettes from Superdrug and I turned them into a purple themed palette, a warm toned palette, a green themed palette and a blue themed palette. You can fit 9 shadows in these palettes and mine are made up of Bleach London eyeshadows, Make Up Geek eyeshadows, Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadows and Coloured Raine eyeshadows. I do also have my large Z-Palette which contains neutral / brown shades.

I'm no relationship expert, but I do have a degree in Psychology and my dissertation was on love and relationships. I've been in a number of long term relationships, with very different people. I'm one of those people that constantly evaluates myself, my life and my relationships - that's the psychologist in me, I have to have an answer and explanation to everything. Over the course of my life, I have learnt a lot about what a relationship needs in order to work and what ruins relationships. The following is based on my opinions and experiences, if your relationship works differently to this and you are completely happy, then feel free to ignore my opinion! Mutual Respect Respect is so important in a relationship and is a wide 'umbrella' term that covers so many different contexts. It includes respecting your partner's wishes when it comes to sex or intimacy - if they say they don't like something, it is important that you respect that decision an...

Most Repurchased Skincare Products

Image
I recently uploaded a blog post on my most repurchased make up products and I said I would be posting another one on my most repurchased skincare products. To me, these blog posts are really helpful because it shows what is worth your money and your favourite products - if you keep repurchasing them, they are probably worth trying for other people! Just for reference, my skin is combination / oily - it is normal on my cheeks and forehead but I do get oily in my t-zone and chin throughout the day. I had moderate acne throughout my teenage years and I was put on Roaccutane when I was 16 which cleared up my skin enormously. It is still acne prone so I do get the odd breakouts and I also have Rosacea (redness) and acne scarring. The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Clay Face Mask - £11.00 - I mentioned this in my favourite face masks blog post a while back and it is still one of my favourite and most repurchased face masks! The mask has a strong tea tree, peppermint and lemon kin...
