Party ready with YSL & Debenhams

25th November 2016

Party season is almost upon us wahoo I love this time of year and I love getting all glamed up so it brings me onto todays post which is all about getting ready for the party season using some gorgeous products from Yves Saint Laurent and Debenhams.

 

Just the look and packaging of YSL is so  glamorous so just using these products make me feel so pretty. All of these products I’m going to talk about can create a daytime natural look or an evening glam look. If you have tried YSL before you know what a fab brand they are, I love the famous Touche Eclat concealer and highlighter and I’ve now got some other favourites to add to my list.

 

I thought this was a great time to do this post as Christmas is right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to stock up for all you christmas gifts and party makeup and fragrance. You can shop the full Brand here

So go grab yourself some fizz and come and get party ready with me…

False Lash effect Luxurious mascara

ysl16

I love a good mascara and this one is brilliant, The wand is amazing for reaching and coating every lash, it gives length and volume which is a must for me when it comes to mascara, it also doesn’t leave my lashes clumpy, just a few swipes and im good to go. I got so many compliments on my lashes and it was thanks to this. It’s also a bonus that the packaging is a good size, its perfect to put in your handbag if you want to top up while your out.

ysl26

I start at the root of the lashes and really push up when im applying, it gives my lashes lots of volume this way.

 

Touche Eclat Blur Primer

ysl17

The primer I am obsessed with, along with the Touche Eclat foundation and famous concealer this primer is just as amazing, and has become my go to every day primer, It preps my skin for perfect makeup application and leaves my skin feeling soft and looking smooth, I can definitely agree it leaves my skin looking blurred of imperfections. This primer is a must for nights out as it’s going to help keep your makeup looking flawless all night long. I have dry skin and this is perfect for me it leaves my skin looking and feeling radiant, it’s so lightweight so it doesn’t feel heavy or sticky on the skin like some primers do, I also think this would work for oily skin too. if there’s anything I would pick up it’s this, I’m seriously in love with it! A little goes a long way so it will last you ages.

 

 

Touche Eclat Concealer and Hightlighter

ysl12

I think this is the product that made me fall in love with YSL many years ago, I had my prom makeup done with YSL a long long time ago now but I remember buying all the products she used on me and this was one of them, I instantly fell in love with this. This is the shade 1 luminous radiance, It’s more on the pink side but it works well for my skin tone as I’m cool toned anyway. I use this on my under eye and it’s amazing for brightening, I love bright under eyes it makes me feel fresh and awake. If you feel like your under eyes are a bit dull or dry this is the product for you, I suffer with dryness and although this is suitable for all skin types this makes me look so radiant. There is a reason this product has been loved for so many years!

ysl21

It can be applied under or on top of makeup, I like using it as a concealer under the eyes and on my forehead, and any other areas I want to highlight and brighten.

 

 

Couture Contour palette

ysl24

Contouring is such a big thing now days, when I know I’m going on a night out I always make the effort to contour a bit more than I would during the day, Must have those chiseled cheek bones!! This shade 01 is perfect for me it has a cool toned contour shade which is perfect to create shadows with on the cheeks and forehead, and the lighter shade is perfect for setting the under eyes, as its a matte powder I couldnt use this as a highlighter on my cheeks . I loved the fact it gave me a natural looking contour rather than looking harsh. I was really impressed with the formula and staying power, the powder isn’t dry and didnt cling do my dry patches.

Top Secrets Lip perfector

ysl27

You should all know by now I’m a massive matte lipstick lover, Although I couldn’t live without a matte lipstick they do really dry my lips out and lets face it dry lips isn’t a good look, especially for a night out, this top secrets lip perfector is amazing for me, it’s a 3 in 1 lip balm, it moisturises, and makes my lips feel so soft and smooth, and also enhances the lips natural colour. My lips have been really sore and dry at the moment and this has really helped.

 

Rouge Pur couture lipstick

ysl22

No makeup look is complete without a bold lip, this colour isn’t my usual shade but it is bold and beautiful. A bright pinky coral shade with intense pigment this will definitely give you a statement lip! This is a satin lipstick, so it’s very moisturising, I found this long-lasting and didn’t feel drying on the lips in the slightest, plus how amazing is the packaging! This certainly stands out. This is perfect to chuck in your clutch bag as the gold packaging can be used a mirror, so handy!!

Universal Lip liner

ysl28

A universal lip liner that goes with every shade of lipstick! yes please!! no more taking out 2 or 3 lip liners to Match your lipstick this is perfect for me as I’ve got to be honest I’m a bit of a mess when it comes to applying lip liner sometimes, I haven’t mastered the overlining part!! and when I go out of an evening I want much more fuller looking lips, so with this if I make any mistakes I can just go with it. It does what any other lip liner does, it outlines and defines lips, as well as making lipstick last longer and look even. This is actually something I didn’t know I needed until now, with coloured lip liners they can change the shade of the lipstick but with this you are still defining and outlining but getting the true colour of the lipstick.

 

Black Opium EDP

ysl8

Now On to fragrance, no night out Is complete without some Amazing perfume. This is a perfume I’ve seen a lot going around the blogosphere and my sister actually has this on her christmas list, now I know why it’s so popular.  This Black Opium is perfect to wear day and night and it will last you ages which is what I look for when buying perfume.

Now on to the scent which is so hard to explain but it’s sweet and floral but with a hint of musk it contains black coffee and white flowers, a mixture of light and dark I can totally agree and this and is what makes it perfect for day and evening.  Definitely a perfume to put on your christmas list, it’s a must!

 

Mon paris EDP 

ysl9

This is the total opposite to Black opium,  it’s very sweet and floral but instead of being dark and edgy this one is all about love, the city of love, paris obviously. I love them both for different reasons, I can be quite funny with perfumes as they give me headaches and I’ve got to be honest I think black opium takes a slight edge for me, I just found this too sweet after a while but I wore both of these without any problems, so if your like me and can suffer with perfumes scents I think you will love this. Be warned this one is slightly stronger and very sweet. A few squirts of this and you will definitely get heads turning I’m sure! This is the newest fragrance or the two from YSL.

    The packaging from YSL is everything. They are definitely one of my favourite make up brands – Touche Eclat is essential for me and I have the most gorgeous limited edition powder by them called Gypsy Opale. The blur primer looks so beautiful – I always drool over it when I see it in Debenhams. Think I may have to treat myself at some point. Great post and gorgeous photos sweetie.

My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmati My Santa has been and John has only got me Dalmatian print wrapping paper 😭 this could have been my present alone and I would have been thrilled! Love how it goes with my Dalmatian baubles 🤩 he knows me so well 🎁 🖤and it’s completely recyclable 👌🏼♻️
Just the presents to put under the tree, the annua Just the presents to put under the tree, the annual Christmas Eve clean up, set up the Christmas Day table and get myself sorted and pampered and we are all ready!! Can’t wait to just chill for a few days as Christmas always goes so quick doesn’t it. I Hope you all have a lovely Christmas whatever it is you will be doing 🎄 🎅🏻🤶🏻 🎁 🍾🥂 here’s some pictures of my tree with the lights on, it’s weird as these lights I got from the range look different each time I turn them on 🙈 I think I prefer my old ones from last year to be honest👀
I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
