I've bought quite a few things recently, but the main thing I was waiting to get delivered and it finally came today!
So at the very start of the month I bought a few bits (pictured on my Instagram, I'll put a link) I bought a new Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in shade 4, Bobbi Brown Sparkle Eyeshadow in Golden Peach and a Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill Eyeshadow in #5. Then last week I treated myself to the Louis Vuitton Neverfull handbag (I'll leave a link to that post for anyone who's interested). Then I bought a gorgeous dress from FindersKeepers also!
At the start of the month I did my first Makeup Geek order, I've been wanting to try there eyeshadows for so long so I finally bit the bullet. These eyeshadows are $5.99 each! Such an amazing price and worldwide shipping isn't to expensive! Once I've used them all a little but more (they only came today but I've swatched them all. AMAZING is all I can say!) i'm going to do a more detailed post. I got the shades Flame Thrower, Grandstand, Beaches & Cream, Peach Smoothie, Crème Brûlée, Latte, Frappé, Goddess, Cocoa Bear and Chicadee! They are amazing and I will be doing another order shortly! Then I did a lash order, I will leave the site I buy them from at the end of the post, it's great prices and free first class postage in the UK! I got Red Cherry Lashes in the styles 106, 213, 47, 523, 217 and 747S. I got a Ardell Wispies (my faves!) and a triple pack of Eylure individuals! I purchased my first Diptyque candle in Rosafolia 😍 it smells amazing! And then yesterday I went to my M.A.C counter and got my Viva Glam Miley Cyrus Lipstick and Lipgloss! And the lipstick in Toxic Tale, both beautiful colours!

This makeup look was inspired by a look that @muastephnicole (Instagram) had created. I had been wanting to recreate this look for a while and I think it fits in perfectly with valentines day! This will be a step by step from each row going Left to right.
1. Start by priming your eyes, I used M.A.C Prep + Prime 24h Eye Base and used a nude eyeshadow all over the lid to set it.
2. I used Orange Soda eyeshadow by Anastasia Beverly Hills in my crease and above it, this is my transition colour so all the other colours I use will all blend nicely into one another, I used a Zoeva 224 Luxe Defined Crease.
3. Next I added M.A.C Soft Brown eyeshadow directly into the crease to add depth using the same Zoeva brush, just keep blending and adding colour until your happy to move on.
4. With M.A.C Brown Script eyeshadow and the same Zoeva brush I added more depth to the crease, this time concentrating more on the outer V, slowly building the colour up until I was happy with the depth and colour.
5. Then I added M.A.C Coral eyeshadow all over the lid and blended a tiny bit into the crease to add a little bit of the pink colour. I used the same Zoeva brush again for this step.
6. Now for the fun part. I added M.A.C Pink Glitter all over the lid, try not to get any in the crease. I used a M.A.C 242 flat shader sprayed with Fix +. I patted the glitter all over from inner to outer corners of my eyes. Keep adding the glitter until your happy with it.
7. Back to the Zoeva 224 brush I added M.A.C Swiss Chocolate eyeshadow to the outer V to make this look a little more smokey.
8. With a M.A.C 252 large flat shader I used Orange Soda, Brown Script and Swiss Chocolate buffed under my lower lashline, you can bring it down as low as you like or skip this step, I like to bring mine quite low.
9. Lastly I added a highlighter to my brow bone and inner corner and put some lashes on. The lashes i'm wearing are Red Cherry Lashes 217.
That's it! It's really easy to do!
This is the finished look!
On the rest on my face I did my normal foundation routine, which I also have a blog post on if your interested I will leave a direct link to the page at the bottom of the post. I used the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow bronzer with Becca Sweetpea Blush. My undereyes I used Light Boost then set them with BareMinerals Well Rested powder and M.A.C Emphasize Shaping powder.
And my lipstick is M.A.C Toxic Tale, it's limited edition but out with the Red, Red, Red collection so get into mac and get one before it sells out!
Hope you enjoyed this post and if you recreate it tag me @ellietaylorrxx on Instagram so I can see!

I'd had my eyes on this bag for sometime, a few girls I know have it and I loved it. I was actually tied between this one and my Givenchy one! I think this one is a little bit more practical than my Givenchy one, because i'm terrified to us it! I love it so so much though.
I had a little bit more money than expected this month so I thought, why not? You work hard, it would be great for Rome. So I made my boyfriend come with me to the LV store!
I really do love this bag! My mum already has a day planned where she's borrowing it!
This bag is called the Nevefull, they do it in 3 different sizes and I got the MM. I got it in the Damier Ebène print/style. There are a few different types of this bag but for me this was the most classic and everything designer I buy I want it to be classic and timeless! Inside is red and beautiful and I think it really finishes the bag off! I think it would be boring if it was brown in there! It also comes with a removable zippered clutch with matching interior which I thinks amazing because it could be used as a clutch bag on a night out and also it will be great when I travel as I can keep my passport in there and my boarding pass! I love it!
I also don't have a tan/brown bag so it's a nice/different addition to my collection which is slowly growing! I am very much in love with this bag. I can't stop looking at it. It has gold details which i prefer as I wear more gold jewellery than silver, but it wouldn't look strage if I did. I love buying new things, and I've most certainly been bitten by the designer bug! Givenchy in November, Saint Laurent in January and Louis Vuitton in Febuary! I wonder what's next!
I have a haul coming for you soon, just waiting for everything to get here, I just ordered my first lot of Makeup Geek eyeshadows and I've heard such good things I cannot wait to get them!
