Disney Christmas with Mad Beauty

I have quite a collection from Mad Beauty to share with you today and for anyone who is a Disney fan or knows one, I can guarantee you will find something they will just absolutely love.

Disney Alice Palette which is really prettily packaged and all pink contains 6 eyeshadows, 2 applicators & one highlighter along with two applicator brushes.  What surprised me about this palette was how good the colour pay off is, I wasnt expecting it to be as good as I have shown, and there is minimal fall out which also makes for a great product. It is priced at just £7.99.

Disney Alice Lip Gloss Duo - Now this is just divine and perfect for any fan of Alice in Wonderland. It is as quirky as it is cute and it would make an amazing stocking filler given it is priced at just £5.99. Fragranced with pear and strawberry, they are really lovely glosses. 

Disney Handy Set - One thing I love about Disney films is some of the quotes, many you remember forever and others you will forget about until you see the film again. This little set which contains a Handcream, Hand Sanitizer and a Hand warmer in the shape of a heart. All of these proucts feature a cheeky cherry scent and have rose gold writing on the packaging.  Priced at £7.99.

This little group of Disney themed beauty products are perfect for those who love Disney and love little quirky but cute products. I love how well made they are, how cute they look and what great stocking fillers they are without breaking the bank and they are just that little bit different.

Sleek Shine Bright Collection #SLEEKROCKSTARS

The new Rockstars collection from Sleek Makeup is the perfect festive makeup edition! It has everything you need from a stunning sparkly eyeshadow palette, a gorgeous strobing cream to a striking lipstick! Shine Bright is a limited edition collection. Just a few weeks ago you will have seen the Rock Out Collection and again if you want it, then run to Superdrug right now and purchase it all

I am a huge fan of Sleek makeup and they have featured numerous times on my blog, everytime a new collection comes out I am wowed by it, so don't be too shocked that this one has totally wowed me. There are two parts to this collection, I have already featured Rock Out (here) and Shine Bright, is just as beautiful so here’s what is in the collection:

I-LUST PALETTE IN Diamonds In The Rough £7.49

This palette is just absolutely stunning and if you are a fan of shimmer and cream shadows, then this is the palette for you! Diamonds in The Rough contains six coveted shades of rose gold, iridescent pink and champagne beige or by their actual names Trillion, Asscher, Princess and Marquise which sit alongside the two cream formulas Radiant and Solitaire.

STROBING SOUFFLE - Pink Opal £7

If you love highlighting and strobing, then Sleek have a treat for you with this Strobing Souffle. With a bouncy texture that makes this so easy to apply, you can build it onto your skin to create your desired glow. 

Pink Opal is a sheer, shimmery Pink just melts onto your skin giving you a luminous glow that stays in place throughout the day. You can apply using just your finger or with a small brush.

LIP VIP LIPSTICK IN SCANDALOUS £5.50

I have mentioned before how much I adore from Sleek at their Lip VIP lipsticks and to see a new one within this range is really exciting. Differing slightly due to the 3D design on th bullet, the colour payoff and pigmentation is just as amazing. . Autumn and Winter for me is all about the darker lip and I absolutely do love berry and purple toned lipsticks. Scandalous has a moisturising formula doesn’t dry out your lips and the iridescent pearl flecks leave a dazzling metallic finish

The Rockstars collection, which I am sure you will agree has the festive season written all over it and is amazing value for money. Even better, it is available now on the Superdrug website right now.

Makeup Tips for an Engagement Photo Shoot

When you’re ready to announce to the world your intentions to marry, an engagement photo shoot can act as the official finishing touch. Snapping a few professionally shot pictures with your future spouse gives wedding guests a taste of things to come while also helping you to grow closer as a couple. Taking pictures as you shop for an engagement rings dc or frolic in the park, as this will make you look forward to your wedding even more. You may already have your outfits picked out and plan on wearing your hair a certain way, but your engagement photo shoot makeup plans need to be tweaked along the way.

Choose Different Types of Lighting

Even if you have planned an engagement photo shoot that will take place entirely at one location, you should still choose various types of lighting. You will never accurately know how your makeup will look under a certain type of lighting until a photo is taken. Softer lighting can make you look warmer and younger, while strong lighting will capture your best features in a more appealing manner. With different types of lighting at your engagement photo shoot, you will also have more makeup choices. Put on a slightly darker shade of makeup and add shimmer when you want to switch up your look in the middle of an engagement announcement photo shoot. 

Don’t Outshine the Groom

While your husband-to-be may encourage you to go all out for your engagement photo shoot, be certain that you won’t steal all the attention. Find out how your future spouse is planning on dressing and grooming himself for your upcoming shoot, then choose makeup that will be complimentary rather than distracting. A versatile daytime makeup look works great for engagement photo shoots, and you can even add a special touch to your style by using bronzer or false eyelashes. Think about whether you would feel comfortable going out to dinner together, and that should tell you if you and your soon-to-be husband are ready for the camera. 

Be Prepared to Reapply Your Makeup

It may literally take you hours to get your makeup right just ahead of your photo shoot, but it won’t be the last time that you need to pick up your makeup brushes. Engagement photo shoots can take a long time, and in between takes your makeup is probably going to fade. Every time you take a sip of water or answer your phone, your makeup is going to be compromised. Bring all of your makeup with you when you go on your photo shoot, and take time to reapply any area that has smudged or faded. 

Once your engagement photo shoot is complete, the next memorable set of pictures you are going to take will be on your wedding day. Use this opportunity to learn how to pose and style yourself so that you look amazing in all of your future photos. Be natural, show your elegance and use high quality makeup that will last, even on an all-day engagement photo shoot.
