All Things Ellie


As Halloween is nearly here I thought I would show you a vampy dark makeup look. You could wear this to makeup not just as Halloween as it's just a smoky makeup look. All the products included in this post will also all be drugstore so everything is really affordable.


Face
For foundation I'm using L'Oreal Infallible 24H Foundation. I'm putting this all over my face to give a even skin tone. To cover up anything else I'm using the Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer, I apply this under my eyes and on any other imperfections I have. To bronze up my face I'm using the SEVENTEEN Define & Conquer Kit and then adding some Sleek Rose gold Blush to my cheeks. For highlight I'm taking the Lottie London Shimmer Squad and I'm using colour The Queen Bee on the high points of my face. And then I'm using the Freedom Duo Brow Powder in Medium Brown to fill in my eyebrows.  

 Eyes
For the eyeshadow I'm going to use my SophDoesNails x Makeup Revelution palette which I have done a review on and I love it. First I'm going to use the shade Rosewood which is a dark purply-toned brown in the crease and then Nightmare in the lower outer corner to deepen it. In the middle of the lid I'm using the colour Smoky Bronze which is a bronze shimmer colour and lastly I'm putting Fairy Lights in the inner corner. To darken up the look even more I'm going to use a black pencil in my waterline. For mascara I'm using the Clinique Mascara. This mascara is amazing, it gives lots of volume and isn't clumpy at all.


Lips
As this is a dark vampy makeup look you could use a dark colour on your lips but you could use something like Rimmel 103 if you prefer a nude colour.

A few weeks ago SophDoesNails released a eye shadow palette with Makeup Revolution. Sophie is one of my favourite YouTubers and I knew that this palette would be incredible. The packaging is watercolour with bits of copper on which looks really pretty. The actual palette is a nude colour with copper writing on. In this palette you get 24 eye shadow colours, 13 mattes and 11 shimmers, which I think is amazing considering this palette is only £10. She also brought out a highlighter palette for £8 alongside this which I think looks gorgeous as well.


When you open this palette there is a big mirror which is really good because I tend to use the mirrors in palettes a lot. And a clear sheet with all the names on, I really like the names in this palette because they do describe the colour and they are all things she likes. These eye shadows are really pigmented and blend really nicely. The colours go with one another and this palette covers a lot of eye shadow looks. I think this palette would be amazing if you were starting out with makeup because of the range of colours and I would defiantly recommend it.

I think this palette overall is incredible especially for its price, the colours are beautiful and there are colours for everyone. Have you tried this palette?

September has now gone which means it is time for a favourites post. For me last month went so quickly and I haven't blogged as much I would like because of going back to school. However I have found a few things that I have really enjoyed over the past month.

Beauty
I have only got one beauty favourite for this month and its the Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer. I mentioned this in my First Impression post at the start of the month and since then I have used it nearly everyday. It's good coverage, it blends easily and its not pink toned, basically my perfect concealer.

Music
There have been a few songs that I have been obsessed with in September, the first being Look What You Made Me Do by Taylor Swift. This song came out at the end of August and since then I have been loving it. I know a lot of people don't like it but personally I think its so catchy and I now know all the words.

The second song is another Taylor Swift one and it is ...Ready For It? Again really catchy and a little more upbeat than LWYMMD. I haven't listened to this one as much but I still really love it.

Lastly is Havana by Camilla Cabello, I really like this song, its so catchy and I really like the chorus of it. I like Camilla's other songs but this is defiantly my favourite.
Youtube
The are two Youtubers that I have been loving recently the first one is Hello October, I love all of Suzie video they are all defiantly the type of videos I enjoy watching. I like her What I Wore In A Week Videos, her vlogs and her hauls especially and her instagram is so nice as well.

ICovetThee is the second Youtuber I been loving. Again love all of her videos and she does similar videos to Suzie and I just love watching her hauls and vlogs also. I also love that her videos aren't all fast edited videos and are a bit more unedited and cosy.

That is everything I have loved last month, what have you been loving?
