Estee Lauder

Pure Color Envy Eyeshadow Palettes in Currant Desire & Fiery Saffron
Perfectionist Youth Infusing Makeup
Sculpting Foundation Brush
Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum

When it comes to high end beauty, Estee Lauder is always a firm favourite. From the classic, elegant packaging to the beautiful products housed within, they never seem to let me down! They have recently released a huge range of shades of their Pure Color Envy Palettes, some of which like these two are perfect for this time of year. There are different shade ranges to suit every skin tone and eye colour, and I personally have been particularly enjoying wearing this purple palette, in Currant Desire, and a bronzed version, in Fiery Saffron.

I've also been trying out their new Perfectionish Youth Infusing Makeup, and really been enjoying it. It has a medium but buildable coverage, and a soft and creamy texture. It is infused with serum meaning my skin has been feeling amazing after use, it leaves my skin feeling hydrated and smooth, with a lovely natural glow to it. To apply I have been using their amazing new Sculpting Foundation Brush which is a fairly unusual shape, but allows you to follow the natural shape of your face to apply the makeup for a really even finish. I can't say I absolutely LOVE this and that it's life changing as it takes everything in me to not want to grab a bigger brush and blend like a boss instead of delicately applying it with this, but I have found that around the eyes and nose, it makes application a lot more precise and easy.

As one of the more sensitive areas of skin on my face, I think it's really important to take care of your undereye area, and recently have been really loving the Advanced Night Repair Serum. I've used the usual facial serum version before and love the smoothing effect on my skin, and the eye version is no different. I apply this in the evening after removing my makeup.

Beauty | Autumn Colours

[image error] Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paints in Mustard, Chilli, Cardamom & ChaiLeighton Denny Nail Polish in No Pictures Please and Who Are You Wearing?Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipsticks in Amazing Grace and Glaston-BerryColourPop Eye Shadows in So Quiche, Lace and KrinkleEstee Lauder Pure Color Envy Palette in 06 Currant Desire

One of my favourite things about Autumn is all of the beautiful seasonal colours and shades that start appearing in beauty products and new releases. I thought I'd share a few gorgeous shades I've spotted recently..

When the weather gets cooler I tend to move away from pastel nail shades and into deeper tones, and the new Autumn Collection from Barry M and the Hollywood collection from Leighton Denny are perfect for that. I absolutely love the deep blue LD shade 'No Pictures Please'.

I find myself wearing more shimmer in eyeshadows at this time of year too, these shades from ColourPop are so pretty and great for creating a more shimmery smokey eye. This palette from Estee Lauder is absolutely stunning too, the purple berry tones are stunning and the shades compliment each other beautifully.

For lips I again go for deeper, richer tones, and the new Matte Revolution collection by Charlotte Tilbury is perfect for this. Amazing Grace is a lovely vintage rose shade that would be lovely in the day time, and Glaston-Berry is much darker, and more vampy, so a great evening wear shade. I actually did a tutorial using this lipstick which you can watch below...

Zoella Beauty | The Launch


I sort of think that with this post, the pictures speak louder than any words, and I'm also very unsure how I could possibly put into words just how amazing this night was for me (and hopefully others who attended). I don't want this post to be solely about the products even though that is what this night was all about, but I want to talk about why this was the best night of my life. I was surrounded by my family, my friends, fellow youtubers and bloggers, some who i've just met and others I've known through the joys of the internet for many years (and not had the chance to meet yet). I felt like there was so much support in that room and that everyone there was genuinely so happy for me and that was something I was so unprepared for. It was so overwhelming and I felt so happy to be with all these amazing people. I pinch myself every single day that this is my life, and that I have been so lucky to be given these amazing opportunities and to have so many friends who I feel like are standing right beside me the whole way, supporting the things I do with such genuinity. I felt so warm and fuzzy inside the entire evening and every time I caught sight of my products or my name on a giant tin bathtub or on the wall or the mirrors, I almost had to take a second glance to realise this was actually happening. In 2009, I attended my first launch event which was for Barry M, 5 years later, I had no idea I would be having my own beauty launch event with all my favourite people. 
*PINCHES SELF WHILST WRITING THIS BLOG POST*
Among the many friends, bloggers, family and other youtubers who I am wholeheartedly so grateful to have in my life supporting the things I do and the path I am on, I am also eternally grateful to you reading this, the viewers and readers who have been here since 2009, or yesterday. I love you and thank you for making my dreams come true. The happiness scale right now is through the roof, so I will leave you to enjoy this montage of photos from the evening.

Interiors | Bedroom Snippets


Dresser - Oliver BonasJewellery Drawers - Oliver BonasLamp - Heals
Yellow and Grey Cushions - Edited
Bed - Made
Throw - EditedPillowcases - Not On The High StreetPanda Cushion - Edited 

I know you all loved the little peek inside my living room, so I thought I'd give you another glimpse into my flat and my decorating style. My bedroom is probably the room you see the least as I film most of my videos in the spare bedroom; I love to keep my bedroom a calm and quiet space where I can escape if I need to!

The colour scheme is quite similar to the rest of the house, everything is very grey and yellow/mustard based, which goes with the light walls and white bedding. I absolutely love the Big Spoon/Little Spoon cushions, I think they are just so cute!

You might have spotted my new Rose Gold Lamp in a vlog recently, it's from Heals and is really beautiful, it has made such a lovely addition to the room. I love the dresser from Oliver Bonas, it is quite unique in design, the little different pops of colour on the drawers brighten up the room.
