MARCH FAVOURITES.

Hi my loves, i'm back with another monthly favourites! I've purchased a lot of new makeup recently (my next bold post will be my NY haul and makeup I've bought since I've been home) and I've found some new faves. I've not got that many new favourites but I wanted to have a post up for you guys. 


Firstly, recently I've been obsessed with colour. I've been being a little bit more adventurous with my makeup and using lots of colours. I'm going to start with lashes today! I've been trying out some new lashes that have hit the market recently and it's safe to say i'm obsessed! They are the new Peekaboo Lashes! They have brought 3 styles out and they are all fab but I've been switching between COVERGIRL, which look exactly like Lilly lashes in Miami (which are a fave of mine but so expensive) and WHIP LASH. These are 3D mink lashes. And Peekaboo have been kind enough to give you guys a discount code if you want to get yourself some! If you use the code 'ellietaylor15'
you will get 15% off your purchase! I will leave the link to the website below. Keeping with the eye theme I've been SO obsessed with Inglot pigments. I first got some inglot items
back in October and in New York they had a shop so obviously I had to go in and I even bought more off the website once I got home. They are fab! They do them in so many different colours it's so overwhelming so I just found out which were the newest and luckly they had some amazing shades that had just come out! I got mostly colours, Green,
PEEKABOO LASHES. 
Aqua, Blue, Pink, Purple and a few neutral shades but they are literally all my favourites (I will leave links down below to some looks I've done using the pigments) I have been applying the inglot pigments with the inglot duraline which to be honest I don't really know exactly what it does but I do like applying the pigments with it. I have been loving the NYX Slide on Liners, they have them in the most amazing colours and they do not budge, I wore one on my waterline for over 12 hours the other day and didn't top it up once! I also have Ben loving Sketch eyeshadow by Mac Cosmetics, I've had it for years and only just started to use it and I really love it. A random fave for this month is the Nude Beauty Blender, I feel 
like it's a little more squishy that the others which I really like. I've also been loving the 
Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit in That Glow. I love all the shades in the palette I can use them all in one makeup look. 
I will have a haul up for you next so keep your eyes peeled for that, there's lots of exciting items I purchased. Don't forget to follow my Instagram @ellietaylorrxx

MANNY MUA X MAKEUP GEEK PALETTE.

Hello loves! 
So last week the Manny MUA x Makeup Geek eyeshadow palette launched on Makeup Geek and on Beauty Bay. Because I live in the uk I thought I'd get it off Beauty Bay, now let me tell you I spent ALL day refreshing the page trying to get one of these! I finally managed to get one aswell as a headache as I was on my phone all day refreshing it!
At first I wasn't going to get this palette but i'm SO glad it did. The shadows are just as amazing as always. Makeup Geek is 100% my favourite eyeshadow brand, I reccomend them to everyone. If you haven't tried any yet a suggest you get a few and try them out (CLICK HERE to read my makeup geek eyeshadow collection and my top 10. I have gotten more eyeshadows since then but my favourites remain the same). 
So let's get into manny's palette. 
It has 9 shades, 3 which are permanent makeup geek shades and 1 pressed pigment that is a permanent item in a loose form, then 5 colours which manny created. 
The first row..
ARTEMIS - this is one of the shades manny created. It's described as a muted champagne yellow with a shimmery finish, this shadow is very similar to Nylon by mac. I've been using this to highlight my inner corner, my brow bone and I've also used it as a cheek highlight. 
BEACHES & CREAM - this is one of makeup geeks permanent shades, manny uses this shadow in nearly every makeup look he does so he said he had to include it in the palette, it's a very pigmented shade! It's described as a soft peachy beige with a matte finish. This is a nice colour to start your looks off with by popping it into the crease. 
LUNA - this is a shade manny created for the palette, it's a beautiful shade. I like to use this as my lid colour this is described as a medium rose gold with a foiled finish. Manny said he wanted a shade in between In the Spotlight & Grandstand which are permanent makeup geek foiled eyeshadows. 
The middle row. COSMOPOLITAN - this is a permanent makeup geek shadow, I was happy this shade was in the palette because I don't own this on, it's described as a gold-flecked medium rose with a shimmery finish. 
SORA - this is another shade manny created for the palette, it's a gorgeous burnt orange shade, my favourite shades for my crease! This shade is described as a medium earthy terracotta with a matte finish. 
FRAPPE - another permanent makeup geek shade, this is another great crease colour, it's described as a medium maple brown with a matte finish. 
Now for the last row. INSOMNIA - this shade is a permanent loose pigment makeup geek sell, for the palette they made it pressed. This colour is so beautiful, it's similar to mac blue brown pigment but it has more blue to it. It's described as a warm red brown with blue reflects and a foiled finish. 
MARS - this is the reason I bought this palette. This shade manny created for the palette. It's a very very pigmented Cherry red shade. On the skin it does look more raspberry/pinky but the more you put on the redder it gets. It's beautiful, it's described as a deep cherry red with a matte finish. 
APHRODITE - this is the last shade in the palette, manny creates this shade also. It's described as a deep plum brown with a matte finish. It's very pigmented and super dark. It finishes the palette off nicely. 
Overall this is a really nice palette. I go to New York next week and I think this might be the only palette I bring along with me. It's pigmented and all of it's colours work with one another! I've only created a few looks with it but I can't wait to try more! 

 

So there are the swatches. Keep your eyes on the makeup geek and beauty bay for this palette. It's a really good palette to have. Congrats to Manny on this palette! I'm obsessed!
