All That Glitters make up tutorial


Hey Chic Geeks,

Today we have for you another makeup tutorial! We have both recently been loving the All That Glitters eye shadow as you may have seen in our June favourites post, so we decided to do a summer make up look with a bit of colour. We hope you like and if you try to recreate it we would love for you to send us your pictures to


We hope you enjoy J

 
 

 
Tutorial:
We started off by using the Rimmel match perfection concealer on the under eyes and any break outs you may have. Also adding some stay matte powder to insure the makeup stays on.
We then went ahead and added All That Glitters eye shadow from Mac all over the lid.
 
Then we took a dark brown matte eye shadow from the entice palette adding it to the crease of the eye making sure to blend it in well.
 
 
We then added the She gel eye liner to the lid making sure we get a thin line across the top of the lid. Try to get the liner as close to the lash line as possible and you can wing it out if you would like.
 
 
Then we added the Rimmel eye shadow in live show under the eye to add a pop of colour to the eye. (This part of the tutorial is optional.)
 
 

We then added a pink nude colour to the lips because we already have quite a dark eye. It had a pretty shimmer to it, this was to finish off the look. You can then go on to add blush and bronzer if you want. We really like this look and we feel that it is very wearable.

June Favourites

Hey Chic Geeks,

Today we have a favourites blog post for you all, our June favourites. We are sorry we haven’t posted in a while but we have been busy with school and other activities. We have been loving these items all month and we wanted to share them with you, we hope you enjoy J

BEAUTY FAVES

G’s Faves:

Simple Clear Skin Oil Balancing Moisturiser
 
 
 I really like this moisturiser because it has 3 skin loving nutrients, 2 vital vitamins and no parabens or colour so it is good for sensitive skinned people. The oil balancing part makes it ideal for all skin types as well. I have been really loving this at the moment and my skin feels so soft after I have used it.


Natio Lavender and Rosemary Hand and Nail Cream
 
 I have also really been loving this hand moisturiser. It has Clary-Sage lemon, Geranium, Jojoba, Evening Primrose and Carrot. It smells really nice and it strengthens you nails and moisturises your hands all in one!! 


 
Super Stay 24 Maybelline New York Concealer

 
 This concealer is amazing! I bought it a while ago and didn’t really use it, but recently I have rediscovered it in my makeup bag and fell in love with it again! It goes on really smoothly and gives low/medium coverage for your under eyes and medium coverage for spots on your face. I would highly recommend this concealer because it is cheap and works really well

Burt Bee’s Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil


 
We love this lip balm, it is amazing and it was in our previous favourites post. You can literally feel the difference it makes in your lips by the next day, it is very hydrating and it makes your lips extremely soft.

Entice eye shadow palette
 
 As you can tell this is a very well loved eye shadow palette. It has all the essential colours, dark brown, gold, nude, light peachy pink, and a light brown. It is great for everyday make up and I have been loving this so much


Rimmel London Kate Moss Lipstick in 03

 
 
 This natural, nude colour is perfect for your everyday makeup. It smells amazing and it is very creamy which means it goes on really smooth. It is a very pigmented lipstick with a little bit of shimmer
