AKEY KHATUN

Everyone loves music right?! If you don't then are you okay? I find music as a way to escape from everything like it's a stress release I guess.... I am a massive fan of all types of music and I won't say I belong to a specific genre but I'm more to the RnB/ Rap side (I LOVE DRAKE BTW) .... but then again Sam Smith or John Newman don't rap so thats why I don't belong to a genre!

I have made 4 playlists on my Soundcloud which are now public! I hope you check them out and have a listen. They are all different and hopefully you will like one out of the four, I'm intending to do a playlist every month just to keep up to date!

There's something for everyone from mainstream to house so have a look through! My soundcloud link is on the top bar so click that and you will go straight on to my page! Let me know if you like them or would like me to focus on a specific genre!

It's been a very long time since I last did a make up post and I have been recently experimenting with looks etc etc! I will try to keep posting up some looks and PS I AM NOT AN MUA! This is my way of doing it and what I use, so heres my Smokey purple eye look!

When I'm doing a heavy eye look, I tend to do my eyes first and then my face as it saves it getting really messy. First of all, I prime my eyes but I can't seem to find my primer (walkies)... I use Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. Trust me ladies your eyeshadow won't move until you scrub it off yourself!

After Priming my eyes, I used L'Oréal Lumiere 502 all over my eyelid to give it that metallically taupe look to go along with the purple look.

I then used L'Oréal Smokey 301. I put this from the middle of my eyelid and outer corners of my eyelids to give it that smokey look. I then blended in the both colours to even it all out and I added a bit more purple to give it that intense look but it's all up to you on how smokey you want it!

As it had metallically taupe colour, I wanted to add a bit of gold into it as well. So I put on some YDK from the Naked 2 palette in the middle of my eyelids (Blend it in if it looks patchy!) and the inner corner of my eyes.

I was wearing false lashes and they were Ardell Demi Wispies. I then went over the band line with L'Oréal Super Liner Superstar and Lancôme Hypnôse Star Mascara. (P.S Curl your eyelashes before you put the lashes on!)

Now on to the face and make sure to clean away any eyeshadow that's fallen on your face etc etc! I primed my face using Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiance. I really love the glow that it has and I've been using it for over 2 years now so it's my all time fave.

I then put on my foundation which is NARS Sheer Glow in Syracuse. This leave your face looking AMAZING! I love the glowy yet matte look and it doesn't dry your face out at all. I used the Real Techniques Buffing Brush to put on my foundation.

For Under eye concealer I used 2 which were the NARS Creamy Concealer in 'Biscuit' and then used Maybelline The Eraser Eye in Nude. I used the Beauty blender for my under eye which gave it that flawless look (Highly recommended!)

I then got carried away and added more to my eyes.... It happens, trust me. I put Booty Call under my brow bone and put Half Baked under my bottom lashes. I used the same mascara to do my bottom lashes.

I did a bit of contouring as well with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit (Light To Medium). I used the shade Fawn which gave it that natural look and not heavy look. I just got this so I'm still experimenting!

Blusher is a must! I used NARS Dolce Vita and it's my most favourite blusher of all times (It's hit pan and I want to cry literally..)

Last Cheek product is Dior Diorific "002 Perle D'or" Highlighter. Guys this makes you glow and that good in every way possible! I love this so much as it doesn't make you look Tinkerbell and give you that subtle glow.

To stop from shining or having an oily T Zone, I used Soap and Glory Instant Retouch. I brushed this along my T Zone and any where else I tend to oily on my face.

Finally I used MAC Velvet Teddy on my lips to finish off my look!

I would say that there is not a lot of products but there are and I tried to keep a mixture of drugstore and high end! I really hope some of you try this look out and get some sort of inspiration! All my social media links are on the bar above! Let me know if any of these products are your favourites and what are your cult beauty products?

Favourite Pieces : That "Baggy Shirt" day look

Favourite Shoes of The Week: Obsessed with these Topshop Shoes!

Favourite Summer Salad : You can't good wrong with Pizza Express salad! I'm there too much! (Forgot what it's called but I think it's called "Pollo Salad"?)

Favourite Song of Week: The Weeknd - The Hills

Do you do that thing where you go into "Lush" and want to buy everything? Yes, you got that right by the title of today's post. Today you will see how crazy I am when I shop alone and my card has been brutally abused! It's crazy but imma control myself! Promise..... (We all know its not going to happen)

Honey Bee Bath Bomb: When I first smelt this, I was in love. You know that saying "Love at first sight"? Yeah definitely that! It loves your skin so hydrated and soft. It's definitely one of those ones that you would love to use after a long day to relax yourself.

Avobath: I actually really enjoyed this one. The smell is so fresh and clean, basically it smells like lemons in a nutshell. It leaves your bathroom smelling so good that people will mistake it for air fresher..... Yes this did happen to me. Plus it's really hydrating which makes it even better as I have dry skin. I blame it on this bipolar weather that we are currently suffering in London.

Phoenix Rising: This one made me feel like a 5 year old child. My bath water turned purple and green.... I have never felt this content with my life over a bath bomb. However, I'm not a fan of the smell because it was too spicy smelling (Cinnamon) but I can live with it! I definitely felt like my skin was hydrated after having a bath and not dry with that horrible tightening feeling.

Twilight: This is pretty much is like "Phoenix Rising" but it's much cooler! I think I prefer this one much more as the smell was more appealing and calming.

Butterball: one word.... HEAVEN. OMG guy's like literally I can't even. This leaves your skin soo soft and you smell so good. It has small chunks of cocoa butter, which nourishes your skin while you are having a bath. YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE.

Floating Island (Luxury Bath Melt) : This is similar to butterball with the cocoa butter. It leaves your bath all frothy and leaves your skin soft with that nourishing feeling from all the oils that are in the bath melt. The good part is that you can break the melt and use it several times. (I had about 4 baths with this)
