Summer 2014's Eye product superstars

Welcome to one of my most enjoyable posts to make, as I love eye shadows a ridiculous amount! So let's start with Tarte's Golden Days and Sultry Nights shadow palette which has been my summer staple, with two mattes Toes in the sand and Espadrilles which are perfect for a simple look and can easily be built on with the other shades. Now for the shimmery shades there is
Caparinha cocktails, the gold, and Oceanview the gorgeous turquoise blue and finally the beautifully rich golden brown Tropical sunset. All of the shadows are very pigmented and you can create such a diverse amount of looks with this palette, I brought it in May but it is still availed from the Sephora website at the moment for around $35. Also I will add that the size of the pans is huge compared to my naked palettes so although you are getting less colours you get significantly more of them!

So onto my favourite mini palette to travel with, the Lorac Pocket Pro (which was $15 from Ulta). It has all you could need to create a full on smokey eye or simply just a wash of colour over the lid to keep things simple. All three colours are fabulously pigmented like pretty much all Lorac shadows are.
Nude is the satin cream colour, I love this for a simple wash of colour over the lids and a black cat eye, especially if I can't be bothered with blending colours. Pewter is also a satin and is amazing brown, I don't know what it is about the colour that I love so much but I use it to either pop in the crease to add diemension or if I'm going for an all out look then all ove the lid with Nude highlighting the inner corner of my eye. And finally Espresso, a lovely matte dark brown which I use mostly for defining my inner lash line (tip if you layer a dark shadow over a kohl pencil the pencil will stay in place all day!).

Stila's Magnificent Metals eye shadow in Kitten is my go to bit of glam. It adds a gorgeous shimmery wash of pinkish golden colour to the lids. I like to use this over the top of a light shadow to add that little something more for a night out look. Also I'm planning on trying it out with a brush sprited with Mac's Fix Plus soon to see what kind of finish I can get. I do love playing around!

Mac's All That Glitters has been my go to, one sweep wonder since I got it in May. I literally always take this with me when I travel as it is simple yet beautiful on my blue eyes and is so low maintained, literally I just swipe it on and add some eye liner and mascara. Job done. I will add that if you are in the business for buying an eye shadow at Mac of the first time or as a treat, GET THIS YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!!

Sephora's color-proof eyeliner in Navy Blue has been what I have been experimenting with colour with. I realised that I used to uses lot of colour on my eyes but since falling I love with my Naked palettes I have not really experimented much with colour. So this summer I was set on changing that so I picked up a lovely blue eyeliner. This eyeliner is coloured somewhere between a royal and navy blue and is helpfully waterproof, making it ideal for Britiains not summer this year! I like to pair this with  my Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes waterproof eyeliner pencil in a very similar shade of blue, they look fab together. I'm really glad I tried the blue eyeliner tread and no it does still look good even though I have blue eyes!

Well thank you very much for reading, I've really enjoyed putting this post together!
