I have been wanting to try the metallic lip trend for so long, but I've been struggling to figure out a way to make them work for my pale little face. After playing around with the Spectaculips Galactic Glazes from Soap and Glory, I think I've finally figured out the perfect look for me.

I'll skip my base and eyebrows because I know this is something that everyone likes to do a little differently, and I'll go straight onto eyes. I am using my well loved Make Up Revolution palette (Flawless 3 - Resurrection) and I'm using the 4th, 5th and 6th shades across from the left on the bottom row of the palette. Unfortunately I don't have the names for these shadows so I hope the explanation is good enough!

I used the lightest shade as a base across the whole lid and blended that out to act as a transition colour.

I then used the darker, more orangey tone to pack onto the lid, which I then blended into the first transition colour.

I then took the bright pink shade and used that in my crease. I then blended everything out to create this warm, pink smokey eye.

After this I used the Soap and Glory Supercat 'Skinny' eyeliner to create my usual flick. The skinny brush made it so easy to get that flick sharp and defined, and this eyeliner does not budge!
Once the eyeliner had dried down, I used the Soap and Glory 'Thick and Fast' mascara to build up the lashes. I always used to wear lashes on a night out, but after the amount of times I've had to drunkenly try and stick the corners back down, it's really not worth the trouble (plus this mascara makes your lashes so long and luscious you don't even need them!).


After the eyes are all done, I topped up my contour and blush and coated on that highlighter! After this I focused on lips. I have used these Glazes over a liquid lipstick, and that looks amazing (I posted a photo on my instagram @emmygrxce if you'd like to have a look at that look). But here I decided to showcase the Glazes in their full glory, as they are so pigmented on their own. I chose to use the pink shade in 'Back to the Fuchsia' (how cute is that name though..) to match the pink on my eyes. For a more subtle look you could use the shade 'Starship Silver' over a nude lip. These glazes' are so reflective and beautiful, just look at that shine! Shop the glosses here!


So here's the finished look, I hope you liked this post even though it's a little different from my usual ramblings! I love experimenting with make up and would love to do more of this style of post (or even a video if I can pluck up the courage!). If you would like to see more of these posts leave a comment with a suggestion for a new look to try out down below.

As always, thank you so much for reading, your support is always appreciated!
And a big thank you to Soap and Glory for supporting this post and introducing me to the best products!

Like most of us, I like to think of myself as a good person. I like to always do nice things for my friends and family, like cooking dinner or buying my mum some flowers. But I have been struggling to remember the last time I did something charitable. I’m sure you would agree, that sometimes you get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, may that be with work, uni or school, and you forget about those who may not be as fortunate as yourself. I know I’ve been guilty of this recently, however I was inspired by International Women’s Day to reflect on how I could be truly selfless, and give to a charity that does so much for women who may be struggling.

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you will know that Soap and Glory work closely with the Young Women’s Trust, in raising awareness of the charity and supporting their cause. Before working with S&G, I hadn’t heard of the Young Women’s Trust, and had no idea how much work to support women aged 16-30 who are struggling to live on no or low pay in England and Wales. They encourage women to get into work by offering free confidence and employment coaching to help women get into work. Last year they helped 2,380 young women through their ‘Work it Out’ campaign. As well as this, the YMT also focus on social issues of women in work, looking particularly at the pay gap between men and women. I find it unbelievable that in this day and age, men earn on average 18.4% more than women. The YMT are working hard to bring attention to this hugely important issue, and are encouraging change.



As a student, I have very little spare cash, which means it can be difficult to donate to a charity personally. But this doesn’t mean you should sit back and do nothing. YOU could do something amazing to help someone struggling. YOU could be the change in the world that you want to see. I decided to do what I could, and put on a bake-sale across businesses in my home-town. I baked a huge batch of cupcakes, covered them in sprinkles, and sent them off to various businesses around town to be sold for a small donation. With the help of family and friends I made around £50, which will be donated straight to the Young Women’s Trust. Although only a small amount, it is so much more than I could have given on my own, and through the bake sale it has spread the message of the charity.



I would love if this post inspires even one of my lovely readers to go out there a do something selfless! Comment below with any ideas for how to be selfless, and share this post to keep spreading this message!

As always, thank you for reading
