This is the first of my looks using the new Urban Decay XX Vice Ltd Reloaded Palette. I really wanted to try out some of the greens in the palette but I also liked the idea of adding in a little pop of red in the outer v. If the red (Gash) is too much for you, you could always substitute it with a green (like Misdemeanor) or a brown (like Smog or Twice Baked) from the palette.

On a recent visit to the Kiko store, I picked up two different types of eyeliners: one of their new Lasting Precision Automatic Eyeliners and one of their Super Colour Eyeliners. I’ve been really enjoying trying out Kiko make-up recently and these two products are no exception. These products are highly pigmented, glide on easily and last all day – everything I look for from an eyeliner. Oh, and did I mention that they are reasonably priced as well? Another win-win for me from Kiko!

For this look, I added a slick of a glitter liner (Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner in Amp) along the lashline to add some sparkle to this aqua-green combination. I really like the glitter liner adds a little extra something to the look, without changing it too much.

For this particular look, I took inspiration from a skirt I have with a tie-dye, swirled effect. The skirt has a mix of black, pink, blue and purple and I thought it would look so cool to mimic that combination on my eyes.

Kiko High Pigment Wet and Dry Eyeshadows in 20 Pearly Tangerine (left) and 24 Pearly Violet (right)
I have been enjoying using my High Pigment Wet and Dry Eyeshadow in 84 Pearly Green (click here to read more about this shade) and so I picked up two more shades to try out when I was in store recently. There is a good selection of colours in the High Pigment Wet and Dry Eyeshadow range and these two shades caught my eye. I love orange and purple eyeshadows and these two products had micro sparkle through them, making them extra pretty. I just couldn’t resist trying them out!
For this look, I combined terracotta-brown and copper-orange eyesahadows to create a warm, autumnal effect on the eyes. I added in a little blackened olive-green eyeshadow to the outer v as well to add extra depth to the eyes.
Note: You can use any brand of eyeshadow you like which has similar shades to re-create this look (if you don’t have the Vice 4 palette).

This look is a slightly brighter version of the ‘Twist of Colour’ look I posted recently. For this look, I used a bright, shimmery silver on the lid, cork brown in the crease and a ‘pop’ of bright blue in the outer v part of the lid.
Tip: The beauty of this look is that you can adapt it using any other colour in the outer v. Try pink, purple, olive green, charcoal and black for a twist on the same look.

This look shows that red lipstick can be used with eyeshadow shades other than neutrals. I used peach and coral-red eyeshadows on the eyes to create a very fresh, slightly colourful effect on the eyes.
I completed the look using a peachy-pink blusher (MAC Pinch O’Peach) and a matte, pinky-red lipstick (Loreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Julianne’s Pure Red).

Adding in a bright colour to the outer v is a easy way to introduce colour without it being overpowering. For this look, I pepped up a relatively neutral silver and brown eye combination with a ‘pop’ of emerald green.
Tip: The beauty of this type of look is that you can adapt it using any colour in the outer v. Try swapping in purples, blues, coppers and blacks for an interesting twist on the same look.

I’ve been reading a lot about Charlotte Tilbury products recently and really fancied trying them out. They are very pricey, though, and so I’ve held off buying any of the individual products. The ‘Instant Look in a Palette’, though, really caught my interest as it contains smaller versions of some of Charlotte Tilbury’s most popular products – all in one handy travel-sized palette.
The palette is intended to give you just as it says in the name – an ‘Instant Look in a Palette: 5 Minute Face on the Go’. This product is designed for women who just want a quick and easy way to look polished and naturally beautiful. So an ‘Instant Look’ and a range of Charlotte Tilbury’s products in one palette – sounds good to me!
