London Fashion Weekend Part 2

 For the second London Fashion Weekend post i thought i would share with you the Maybelline A/W makeup that i received at LFW including tips on how to apply the products and swatches along with necklaces from a independent company called Flash Trash.  

Yasie and I both picked up Star sign necklaces at the event. Being born in August and Yasie in April, we picked up the Leo and Aries star signs. Above is the star sign for Leo. This exact necklace is also owned by Cara Delevingne and if you couldn't already tell i'm slightly Cara mad! 

Maybelline put together a variety of products to create what they describe as the A/W look. they have focused in on deep berry shades and bright purples. 

Maybelline's Brow Drama is a dark brown sculpting eyebrow gel. It sets your eye brows well leaving good colour. The product doesn't feel wet or dry hard leaving you with heavy brows. Its as easy as running it through the hairs like a brush and it stays on all day. It retails for £4.99
Tips: apply light coat and build, don't apply heavy handed its easier to add than to remove.  

Maybelline always wins me over with their mascaras, you cant really fault them and for £4.99 its definitely worth the investment. The great thing about 'The Great Lash' would probably be how small it is, i can carry it around easily on the go. It gives great fully lashes and for me it doesn't tend to clump.
Tip: Build up your coats for a fuller overall look

Maybelline brightened up their look with adding a pop of colour to the nails. This deep purple shade is very flattering on all skin types and the application wasn't bad only needed a couple coats. costs £2.99

I have never owned a real berry lip shade before so when i received this lipstick from Maybelline i was excited to try it out. i was highly impressed with the pigmentation of the lipstick as well as the lasting colour. It is however alot more pink toned when swatched and once it has set on your lips it become less purple, nevertheless i still really love the shade. It retails for £7.19
tip: apply lightly as it goes on quite dark and only a little colour is needed. 

Finding the perfect eyeliner is not always easy but for £5.99 this 'Master  Smokey' eyeliner by Maybelline ticks the correct boxes. With an attached sponge applicator you can smudge out your liner how you like. The eyeliner goes on dark and smoothly with no tugging or folding on the eye lid.
tip: for a more winged look take the liner out to the outer corner of your eye and use a eyeliner brush to achieve the perfect wing rather than using the pencil straight or trying to smudge it out.
