Hi my lovelies!
A couple of days ago I posted this tutorial on my youtube channel and I thought I would share it with you guys too!
I absolutely love this look and how it turned out, although I'm not one for bright yellow/gold eyes, I really think this works so, so well.
Below is the image I worked from and I think I got it as spot on as I could have done.

I'm sorry this is up super late, with all the Olympic ceremony fun last night and family visiting today, I had today forgotten that I was meant to get this post up.
Now I'm off to crawl into my pit with a huge food baby and a ridiculous headache.

Hope you guys are having a good weekend! I can't believe that this time next week it'll be August!

DSC_0075Hi my loves, 
I'm going to be completely honest about this little palette. 
As I eagerly awaited the reveal of each shade on facebook, I have to say at first I was one of those who were pretty disappointed. As a limited edition Olympics palette, I imagined bright, bold, reds, blues and greens. 
BUT, and it's a big but. I absolutely fell in love with it the moment I saw the swatches.
This palette of silvers, golds and rose golds is incredibly pigmented. One swipe and your eyelids will be bursting with colour. I was especially stunned by the strength of the gold shades. Usually you expect a pretty mediocre pay off with such colours, but these blew my mind. 
As with all MUA eyeshadows, these have brilliant staying power and if applied on top of a primer can be made even better. The shadows are creamy, smooth and apply like butter.
Along with all of  MUA's other palettes, this costs only £4 and can be purchased from their online store.
What do you guys think of this bright, bold palette?
