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!

F E B U A R Y F A V O U R I T E S.

Welcome to my first favourites of the year! 
This is kind of a January/February favourites mix. I have been loving so many products this month! 

Recently I've been loving the EX1 Invisiwear foundation which I spoke about in my favourite foundations blog post (click here to read) but i was wanting to try the Too Faced Born This Way foundation, I managed to get it and I LOVE it. It lasts all day on my face and it looks beautiful, it's got a really nice coverage, the colour I got is a little bit too dark for me, so when I go to New York next week a lighter colour is deffo on my list! 
Mac brought out a collection in January and there was a lipstick in it called A Sprinkle Of Magic, it is aaaaamaaazing. I love it. When I first saw this colour it didn't stand out but when it's on it's so fab! I've been loving it, it makes my lips look so plump! Sticking to lips I've been loving the MAC x Ariana Grande VIVA GLAM lipglass. I don't know what it is about this gloss but it's the best gloss I've used! It's amazing! I need to stock up because it's sold out in my store, it's a must have for my makeup bag! I've also been loving the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams! My fave is Athens!

I obviously have some makeup geek eyeshadows to mention! Bitten, Cocoa Bear, Americano & Bada Bing have been my GO TO shades all month, I couldn't stop using them! Mixed with my next favourite Melba blush by mac cosmetics, but not on my cheeks, in my crease! I've been starting with Melba blush, then adding a little bit of Cocoa Bear, Bitten then Bada Bing or Americano! And wearing on the lid my next favourite Peaches and Cream pigment in Peached. It's a beautiful shimmering peachy/tan colour. I can't describe it! I find the peaches pigments work amazingly with the peaches eyeshadow primer which I have been loving this month, with every shimmer eyeshadow (which is every day!) most of my favourites are eye products! My favourite inner corner and brow highlight is Nylon eyeshadow by MAC!  Another fave is the Urban Decay Glitter liner in Midnight Cowboy. I've been using this as a liner and as a all over the lid colour. And my absolute favourite lashes I think of all time are the Lilly Lashes in the style Miami! Another favourite for me and anybody who loves sparkle are these amazing brushes my friend makes, you give her your brush and she hand glues Swarovski crystals of them! Her Instagram is @Crystalfixdesigns go and check out her page! She does different coloured crystals but the rainbow is my personal favourite. I wish they were as sparkly in the pictures they are unreal in real life!

My go to palette.

This palette is the palette I use every single day. It has all of my go to eyeshadows in. It's a mixture of MAC eyeshadows and Makeup Geek eyeshadows. My favourite eyeshadows to use are warm tones. There's nothing better than a warm brown copper/gold smokey eye in my books! Don't get me wrong I love using colours but my comfort zone is in this palette. I store them in a large Z palette. 

On the top row we have:
Brule (mac)- it's described on the website as a soft creamy beige with a satin finish. I love using this on my lids if i'm going to do an all matte smokey eye. 
Nylon (mac)- a pale gold with Icey shimmer. With a Frost finish. This is one of my favourite inner corner and bore bone highlights. 
Magic Act (makeupgeek)- Light gold with yellow undertones and a foiled finish. I love using this on my lids and it's a pretty inner corner highlight. 
Peach Smoothie (makeupgeek)- A light peach beige with a soft matte finish. This is one of my must haves. This is my second one and I've already got a dint in it. I wear this everyday with every makeup look. It's my perfect crease colour. 
Samoa Silk (mac)- this eyeshadow was discontinued. Sowweeee. It's really similar to makeup geek peach smoothie and ABH Orange Soda. 
Creme Brule (makeupgeek)- A medium sand color with a soft matte finish. This is a shade or two darker than peach smoothie I would say. I love this one in my crease. 
Soft Brown (mac)- it's a soft golden peachy brown with a matte finish. I haven't used this one for a while but it's a really nice transition colour! 
On the next row we have: 
Texture (mac)- described as a peachy brown with shimmer. With a Velvet finish. When you look at this colour you will see a slight shimmer to it but it doesn't show up on the eyes. This is a must have in mac eyeshadows. It's the perfect warm transition colour. 
Frappe (makeupgeek)- medium maple brown matte. This is very similar to mac texture but it's different. Spoken like a true makeup addict. I love this colour in the crease also. Peach smoothie, Creme Brule and then frappe are the same colour family I would say. 
Latte (makeupgeek)- described as a matte medium brown. This is similar to Frappe but I would say that this shade is a lot more neutral/slight hint of cooler tones. 
Amber Lights (mac)- on the website this shade is described as a peachy brown with shimmer with a frost finish. It's a gold with a hint of bronze/copper with a HIGH sheen. It's very metallic and very intense. I love this all over the lid, in a smokey eye, it's amazing however you use it. 
Grandstand (makeupgeek)- described as a medium rose gold with slight taupe undertones with a foiled finish. This eyeshadow is amazing. It's the most perfect rose gold shade it's so metallic and amazing! I love this colour in a warm brown smokey eye, or if you use it with more berry tones it's incredible!
Goddess (makeupgeek)- a metallic pale copper is how it's described. It's a beautiful soft slightly shimmery bronze/copper. I love using this if i'm doing a spotlight eye, I use this them a darker shade for a nice blend. It's probably the least pigmented makeup geek shadow in this palette. 
Roulette (makeupgeek)- it's described as a rosy burnt sienna with a shimmery finish. It's the most amazing coppery bronze eyeshadow. It's so pigmented. It's amazing. So beautiful.
Moving on to the next row:
Chickadee (makeupgeek)-  it's described as a matte yellow orange. This colour is so different from anything I've ever seen/used. It's beautiful to blend out in the crease. It adds a beautiful warth to the look. 
Rule (mac)- this shade is described as a vivid orange and that's exactly what it is. It has a matte finish and like chickadee it's amazing in the crease or to blend out browns. 
Red Brick (mac)- is described as an orange red with a matte red. This eyeshadow is more red than orange but there is a lot of orange to the colour also. It's beautiful for the same reasons the last two eyeshadows. 
Coppering (mac)- it's described on the website as an orange copper but I think this shade is more red than anything. I love this shade it's so beautiful. It's amazing mixed with Amber lights also. 
Cocoa Bear (makeupgeek)- described as a matte reddish brown. This eyeshadow is the most amazing matte reddy/brown/sienna colour ever. It's super pigmented. I use this nearly everyday. 
Bitten (makeupgeek)- matte deep maroon red. This is me in a eyeshadow currently. I've been wearing it everyday pretty much since I got this eyeshadow. It's so pigmented. I also love Cherry Cola but it's almost identical to bitten but it's a lot darker. They picture the same so it seemed pointless. 
Brown Script (mac)- it's a warm chestnut brown with a matte finish. It's a beautiful colour. If you love warm shades this one you will love. 
Now for the last row:
Bronze (mac)- a frost finish eyeshadow. Gold brown with gold bronze shimmer. As it says in the name, this eyeshadow is the definition of bronze. I've not used this for a while buts it's gorgeous all over the lid blended out with warm colours. 
Swiss Chocolate (mac)- it's described as a muted reddish brown with a matte finish. This is a soft warm brown. I love to use this on the outer v first before applying a darker brown. 
Folie (mac)- this shade is described as a reddish plum brown. This eyeshadow has lots of red to it. It's one of my favourites, it's literally a step upward on the colour scale from Swiss chocolate. 
Embark (mac)- an intense reddish brown with a matte finish. The last two shades I've mentioned are so similar but so different. I'm glad I have them all. This is amazing to add lots of depth to the outer corner. 
Americano (makeupgeek)- this eyeshadow is described as a dark brown with subtle purple undertones and a matte finish. I would say it's a very warm brown. It's also very dark. This is one of my favourite brown shades. I love this for the same reason as embark. This is a more pigmented version. 
Bada Bing (makeupgeek)- this shade is a deep brown with flecks of gold. Once applied on the eyes I would say the gold does not show up at all. It's the deepest brown and it's amazing! 
Antiqued (mac)- this shade is a beautiful shimmery warm brown with lots of red undertones. It's beautiful. It's amazing buffed under the lower lash liner over teddy liner also my mac. 

That's all the shadows in my go to palette. I use these colour everyday, I would reccomend any of these shades. I will leave a link with my makeup geek eyeshadow collection and top 10 incase you wanted to see more makeup geek eyeshadows. You can purchase them from BeautyBay.com. 
Hope you liked this post!

My favourite foundations at the moment.

Hi my loves just a little post on my fave foundations at the moment. I get lots of questions daily about foundations. I personally have oily skin so if you have dry skin some of these might not work for you, but if you are interested in any of these foundations head down to your makeup counters and ask for a sample!

 I always start off by priming my skin with the MAC Natural Radiance primer and I use a damp beauty blender to apply my foundation/concealer.
My favourite foundation right now is the EX1 Invisiwear liquid foundation. I really really love this foundation. I wrote about it in my 2015 Favourites post. It's just so natural but gives a nice coverage. It's enriched with light diffusers to cleverly detract light away from lines, wrinkles and blemishes. It's creates a natural, skin-on-skin effect. I think this foundation would work for dry, combination or oily skin. I have no issues with it at all and I don't powder my face. I get mine from Lookfantastic.com. 
Next is the foundation I used before the ex1 foundation, it's the Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation. This foundation is very different to others I've used. It's super full coverage but natural looking and very highly pigmented. You only need a little bit and it goes a very long way, but it's very lightweight. If you have dry skin i'm not sure if you would like this. I've heard it's not the best for you drier girlies. Get a sample if your curious! Next is an oldie but a goodie, MAC Studio Fix Fluid. This is a full coverage foundation with a matte finish. This foundation is macs most popular foundation I would say and this is the main foundation in my kit as it does what it says! It's long wearing and perfect for girls going on nights out. I used to wear this as my everyday foundation. I work with this foundation at work every day and it really is a great foundation. I also really love this foundation to mix with some others. I've mixed this foundation with the Chanel Vitalumière, which is a lightweight foundation, I would say it's a lightweight light/medium coverage. I love it mixed with the studio fix for a long lasting foundation with a slight glow to it, as i'm oily I don't like to much shine. I also love it mixed with the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk. It's a lightweight 'buildable' coverage, I would say it's more a light to medium coverage. It says it's for all skin types but when I use it on it's own it wears off my skin really quickly. I know some oily girls love this and I know that the girls I work with who have dry skin loooove it. 
There are so many foundations out there and the only way to find the perfect one for you is to try them. I really want to try the Too Faced Born This Way foundation. Remember these are the foundations I've been liking and they might be different for you! 
I hope you liked this post. 
Lots of love

Must Have Makeup Brushes!

I did a 'must have makeup brushes' post back in 2014, and since then my brush collection has grown and I want to share my new favourite must have brushes with you!
Lets start with eye brushes. My absolute favourite brand for eyeshadow brushes is ZOEVA. I did a blog post back in January about the Rose Golden Complete eye set (click here to read that) and since then I have purchased TWO more of those sets. The brushes are incredible. 

My first must have is the Zoeva 228 Luxe Crease. This brush is exactly like a MAC 224 but it is so much softer. As I can find the 224 a little bit scratchy. This is the first brush I use when doing my eyeshadow it's my favourite blending brush! Then we have the Zoeva 227 Luxe Soft Definer, this could be compared to the MAC 217 but I find it's flatter and bigger, I still love this brush I use this to add a darker shade into my crease to add more depth it's super soft and blends shadows beautifully. Next is the Zoeva 231 Luxe Petit Crease, I LOVE this brush. When I first got it I didn't really rate it but now I love it and I use it every time I do my eyes. I use this to put colour (usually a dark shade) on my outer V. I really love this brush for that. Then is the Zoeva 224 Luxe Defined Crease, this is a skinny tapered blending brush, it's perfect for making all of your eyeshadows really really blended, I like using this to apply a transition colour and just building up the colour. Then we have the Zoeva 234 Luxe Smoky Shader, this brush I have so many of, it looks like the MAC 239 brush and it performs the exact same. This one is 100% a must have. Next is the Zoeva 317 Wing Liner, personally on myself i don't really wear liner but when I do I use this, but this is the brush I use on my clients for the really sharp winged liner. Then is the Zoeva 237 Detail Shader, I love this for my inner corners, my brow bone, pigments/glitters, this brush can be used for all kinds of things. I love it!  All of the brushes I just spoke about are from the Zoeva Rose Golden Complete Eye Set, the set comes with 12 brushes. All of them are amazing but these are just my must have brushes. Then we have the Zoeva 223 Petit Eye Blender, I personally don't use this for blending as the brush is very dense and tiny. I love this for highlighting my inner corner. I love a really intense inner corner highlight and because the brush is so dense this give me exactly what I want. Now for my last Zoeva brush, the 232 Luxe Classic Shader, I originally bought this thinking it was a flat shader, which it is but it's slightly longer. I hadn't really used this brush until recently, I have started using this for buffing eyeshadow under my lower lash line, which I have to do! My makeup isn't complete without a blended under eye. This brings me to the next brush the MAC 252, this is THE BEST brush for blending out under your lower lash line, I don't know what it is but it just works. This brush is quite expensive that why I included the last Zoeva brush, but nothing does it better than this brush! Then is a must have for everyone, the MAC 242, i'm sure you've heard about this brush, it's great for carving out your brows and it's the best for getting pigments and glitters on the lid. I'm a huge pigment girl so this brush is a staple in my collection. Then is probably the most famous brush ever, the MAC 217. It's the perfect shape, it can be used to blend, pack colour on the outer V, it's just a classic brush. Then lastly for eye brushes is the MAC 263, this is the brush I use for my eyebrows, it's not super dense so it doesn't apply too much product or make them look harsh, it's perfect. I just want to say the Zoeva brushes are the quality of MAC but there prices range from £6 for eye brushes! Which is just amazing. And I can honestly say I have never seen a Zoeva brush shed any of it's bristles! 
I do have 3 favourite face brushes, but for my foundation/concealer I still swear by the

Original BeautyBlender! Highlighting is my favourite part of doing my makeup and I was on the hunt for the perfect brush for so long and I finally found it! It's the Anastasia Beverly Hills A23 Pro Face Detail brush. It is so soft and it is the perfect shape for highlighting! I love love lovvvvve it!! Next is my favourite bronzer brush, the MAC 129. I think this brush is the perfect size and it does the job well! I'm yet to find a more affordable dupe for this. Lastly is the brush I use for blush, you could 100% use the one I just talked about but I love the MAC 129 SH (Short Handled) brush. It is the exact same brush but it has a shorter handle. I just prefer using this one for blush, the shorter handle give me more control. I will leave links down below where you can purchase the brushes I have mentioned today! To clean all of my brushes I use the MAC Brush Cleanser. I have used this for years and I find it's the easiest/quickest way to clean them! 
I hope this wasn't to long for you all and I hope you find some brushes you love! Let me know some of your favourite brushes! Don't forget to follow my Instagram @ellietaylorrxx for daily posts!

2015 Favourites.

2015 was a fab year for makeup. I've definitely had a lot of favourites. I'm going to be picking out some of my must haves of the year and also some of my favourite brushes. Would you like me to do an updated favourite brushes? As a lot has changed since the last post. I will leave links down below on where you can buy the products I talk about today. 

Just some of my favourites!

Let's start off the 2015 faves with face products! Still the same as last year, my favourite primer is Natural Radiance by mac cosmetics. This primer just really works for me and for my clients, I've tried so many primers and I always come back to this one. I've gone through four of these! Now for foundations. I have had a few different favourite foundations this year, but the one i'm currently using and i'm half way through my second bottle is the EX1 Invisiwear foundation. This only comes in 5 shades, I use F100 (I have just bought two more bottles as we speak). I have never wore a foundation and had so many compliments on my skin! Everyday when i'm working I get so many compliments. It gives a nice coverage but it looks like skin! I have already had lots of people ask me about this on Instagram, I have very oily skin and this foundation works for me. I wear my makeup for over 12 hours a day and this stays put. I love it! My favourite way to apply it is with a damp Beauty Blender. Onto concealer. I've used a few different ones this year, my two favourites being the Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer and the Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer. Both of these are full coverage, the Kevyn Aucoin sensual skin enhancer is very expensive, I have used mine since summer and it looks like I've only just scratched the surface a little bit goes a very long way. My favourite bronzer is the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in Luminous Bronze. I don't know what it is about this bronzer but I just love it. It isn't matte or a shimmer it just gives a beautiful satin look to the skin. I love the colour, it makes my skin look naturally sunkissed. For blush my favourite blushes are from mac cosmetics. They have a huge selection! I love Trace Gold, Make You Mine, Margin and Cantaloupe. I also love Becca Cosmetics blushes. Now for my favourite makeup item Highlighter. There has been two mega ones this year that I cannot live without, Becca Cosmetics X Jaclyn Hill's Champagne Pop! I bought two on the launch date and then when I got it I loved it that much I bought another. I had to get mine on sephora but now it's sold on Cult beauty and Space NK in the UK. And then I think i'm number 1 fave is Anastasia Beverly Hills Illuminator in So Hollywood. This is the most perfect highlighter ever. If you don't like an intense glow then you won't like this, it's so shiny and metallic! Which I LOVE!
Now eyes/brows. My favourite brow product of the year is the Brow Fluidline in True Brunette by mac cosmetics. I love this products. It's similar to the ABH Dipbrow but the texture is softer. It lasts for ages! Now onto eyes. If you didn't read my last blog post (I'll put a link) it's very clear that my favourite eyeshadows are Makeup Geek! They are the most pigmented, easy to blend shadows I've used! And there are SO many colours to choose from. I also love loose pigments. Some of my favourite brands for pigments are mac cosmetics and Peaches and Cream (Stella & Disco are my FAVES), I've also been obsessed with glitter and mac do my favourites. My favourite base to apply before my shadows is the Soft Ochre Paintpot by mac! I wear false eyelashes every day and I have so many favourites. I love the Eldora lashes in H167's they are sold out at the minuet and i'm desperate for more but this brand has amazing lashes! Deffo check them out if you love lashes. I also use these lashes in my freelance kit. I also love the Wispie Sweet Nothings by Velour Lashes and the Lilly Lashes in Miami. I also really love the House of Lashes lashes in the style Siren! I love a feathery wispy lash. For lipstick/lipliner there is one brand I can always rely on. Mac cosmetics have the best lipstick and lipliner selection. Some of my favourites are (lipliners) Stripdown, Spice, Nice and Spicy, Morning Coffee, Double Time (lipsticks) Myth, Shy Girl, Pure Zen, Sweet & Sour, Peachstock. 


Well guys I hope you find some new products to try and here's to a new year full of more fabulous faves!
