A New Kind of Wishlist..


So.. I've recently been thinking about things I want to buy and try. I've seen so many bits online such as different types of food or products or even places I've never been to before. So I thought every season I'd do a post, kind of a bucket list but not as intense.
 

1. Try Sushi - The thought of Sushi doesn't excite me, I'll admit it. But it looks so pretty ha yes the visual appeals much more than the actual thought of raw fish.



2. Naked 2 Palette - As surprising as it is coming from a shopaholic like myself, I haven't bought any of the Naked palettes yet but I really want one and can't resist any longer.

3. Tom Ford Lipsticks - It's fair to say I might have a slight, new obsession. Violet Fatale is the next on my list.


4. Go to BICESTER SHOPPING VILLAGE! - I still haven't been and I'm more than determined to go in the next month to do some serious bargain shopping :)


5. Lastly, start TRAINING again. But this time I want to tone up properly ready for the summer time :)


Lotsa love Leesh of UnLeeshd x x x

44. Bruno Mars.
I'm patiently waiting for this 2nd Album.. His 1st album was amazing!! Love the Brooney!


45. Urban Decay.
I remember how I used to rave about UD to my girls & all they used to do was argue and say how much better MAC eyeshadows were.. ALL of them seem to love UD a hell of a lot now.. Alisha always knows best ;) haha Only joking, I love the shades of eyeshadows and how gorgeous they look on.


46. Wavy Hair.
I have straight hair all the time & its always tied back due to work, So I love waving it and making it look a little nicer.


47. Taking Photo's.
I love taking photo's.. my camera is forever with me! Love looking back at them and reminiscing :)


48. Water.
This sounds like one of the most simplest things to love, but I genuinely love drinking water. I don't really drink anything fizzy.. so good for you! My fridge is currently filled with Fiji Water for my gym sessions lol

"Pink Friday".. EOTD

Hello my loves:)

Thought to name this "PINK FRIDAY" Seeing as it's a very pink EOTD & well.. its Friday! *State the obvious Leesh!* lol

I'm attending a 70s & 80s themed party tomorrow. Was just practising make up looks. I'm gonna go for this one but add more smokiness. I'm going as a Rock Chick/Madonna/Grungy type chick.
Hopefully, if the photos come out nicely i'll post some up :)





I have used..
 Fishnet by Urban Decay
Blended "Zero" into it which is a shade of Black again by UD.
Then used the Bright Pink from BeautyUK's eye shadow collection.
To finish this look off I have used "Ransom" by UD under the eyes which is a shade of Purple.
& lined it with Maybelline's liquid liner :)

Hope you have a lovely weekend :)

Nicole Scherzinger inspired EOTD..

Hi loves, so for the past few days all I seem to be listening to is Nicole & 50 Cent's new song... 'Right there..' It's SO catchy!

Here's the link to the video if you haven't heard/seen the fab video,
Nicole ft 50 Cent - Right There.
She looks amazing in this video!

I really fancied doing a celebrity inspired Eye of the Day today. So why not choose this woman, seeing as i'm LOVING this song so much. I found this pic of her and decided to do my own version of it..




I used my Urban Decay Volume II Palette once again.

For this look,
I blended 'Half Baked with Twice baked.. (Gold & Brown) and then finished it off with 'Perversion (Black)'
To make the eyes stand out even more I lined it with a black eyeliner pencil and smudged it a little using a cotton bud ;) & also gave my eyelashes a good coat of Mascara (I use Maybelline Falsies Mascara)

Hope you like this look.

Got that Friday Feelin'.. *EOTD*

Happy Good Friday Everyone :)  I love wearing bright eyeshadows when the Sun's out, minimal eyeliner, lots of colour!! Here's what i'm rockin' today!


For this look, I used;
The last Blue, on the top right. Beauty UK palette.

Urban Decay Palette Fishnet, Honey & Peace x (I've had it a little while lol as you can tell)

It is so quick & easy to do:
  1. I started off with Fishnet, then blended in Peace toward the outer eye.
  2. I then used a small eyeshadow brush and added a little 'Honey' to the inner corners of the eye.
  3. To finish off I used the Blue from my Beauty UK palette to line the bottom of my eye. Coated the lashes with a little mascara and lightly lined the top eye liner with a little Black eyeliner. Voila! ;)

Enjoy the bank holiday lovelies.

Emergency Cosmetics!

Afternoon you gorgeous lot!
I've missed blogging so SO much,  so thought i'd post a mini post before the Bollywood EOTD which will be at the end of the week (YAY!) =D
So, I had a thought today. If I was in a rush and needed to take my favourite cosmetics with me, what would I take? I own a lot of make-up and cosmetics in general. This is what I settled on..

Astral Cream. I've mentioned this cream in a lot of my posts. This cream is like fresh air to my skin, it feels amazing, its so light and you can use it as an all over moisteriser :) You can purchase it at Superdrug, Tescos, Wilkinsons & Bodycare.

St Ives. Apricot Scrub. I use this every morning, I love this scrub as it takes all the dead skin off your face and makes it feel so smooth and clean. 

MAC Sunny by Nature Skin finish. I love this stuff. I use it as a blusher as well as an all over skin finish depending on my mood. I don't wear foundation on a daily basis, If i'm in a rush i'll give my skin a once over with this amazing product. I love it, and it lasts ages!!

Bobbi Brown Gel Pot. This gel liner has to be my favourite. Its so smooth and so easy to use. I can't go a day without eyeliner so this would be a must!! hehe x
Urban Decay Palettes. I own quite a few Urban Decay palettes, they are so useful, you can wear them lightly for that everyday look or you can mix and blend colours for that heavier look.


What products would you take in your handbag or suitcase if you were in a rush?
Hope you liked this post.

Happy Holi :) *BEAUTY POST*

Hello my gorgeous readers, 
I know a lot of you wanted me to do another beauty post. I've left it a little while as I didn't know what look to go for. 
But this morning it occurred to me. The Festival of Colour.. HOLI is this weekend. How perfect? So here it is. 
My post is inspired by this gorgeous Indian festival. 


By the way, if you want to know more about the Festival of Holi, click the link and read away! Happy Holi! x x x

I used two different Urban Decay Palettes for each of these looks. 
For the first look, I used The Urban Decay Deluxe Eyeshadow Palette. Using the colours Fishnet & Peace. The gold I used was 'Honey Baked' from the second Urban Decay Palette.
For the second look, I used Urban Decay VOL II palette which is stunning. Using the colours Half Baked, Jinx and Flipside.

Using the Deluxe Eyeshadow Palette.


Closed eye shot.

Half baked & Flipside on the top. Jinx on the bottom eyeline
I hope those who are celebrating have a fabulous Holi, filled with lots of amazing colour and happiness.
Let me know what you think!

Dress sorted, Make-Up Look? Part 2.

Hello all! :)Hope you're all well.
Right, who remembers the post "Dress sorted, Make-up Look?"
For those who haven't seen it Here's the link!


Unfortunately, the birthday girl was a little poorly over the weekend *Lots of love to you missy*
So we didn't go out in the end. However, I am going to show you what I would have done Make-up wise if i had gone out. 
* Remember, I'm not a beauty blogger, this won't be a perfect make-up tutorial hehe*


 For this look, I used;

  1. Urban Decay VOL II Palette
  2. Accessorize Eyeshadow Palette
  3. MAC 'Up the Amp' Lipstick
  4. Nars 'Orgasm' Blush
  5. Urban Decay Primer Potion
  6. MAC Face & Body Foundation (C5)
  7. Bobbi Brown 'Black Ink' Gel Liner
  8. Benefit 'IT' Stick
  9. Vaseline :)
So I started off with a moisturized face. Using 'Astral' (I mentioned this amazing cream in Part 1). I then went over it with MAC Face & Body Foundation. Look at the amount I used. So worth every penny!
I used the Benefit IT stick to cover up any blemishes etc.

This is all i needed for the full face (inc neck!)


Ready for eyeshadow, blush & lipstick

*Before applying the rest of the make-up. I put a little bit of Vaseline on my lips. I'll explain why later*

I used a little Urban Decay Primer Potion first (Its amazing! as a lot of you already know! Makes the make up last ages without any annoying creases.) 
For the look I wanted, I started off using a lovely Silverish/Grey shade from the Accesorize palette.
Light Silver/Grey shade.


 I put this on the eye first. I only needed a light layer. 
After applying a layer of this shade, I then went onto the Urban Decay VOL II Palette. I love this palette, I bought it for about £25 (Staff Discount ;) It has lasted ages. Again, definitely worth every penny!



I used 'Gunmetal' which is a lovely Charcoal Grey shade.
I used the MAC 217 Blending Brush to blend The 'Gunmetal' eyeshadow into the Light Silver/Grey. You will eventually end up with this


Both colours, Blended well.

To finish the eyes off, just go over it with a Black Gel/Liquid Liner. I'm a big fan of Bobbi Brown 'Black Ink' Gel liner.

On to the lips, earlier I mentioned putting Vaseline on my lips before I even started on my eyes. The reason I did this is so that the lips are soft, ready for the lipstick. If you were to put Vaseline on just before the Lipstick, The lipstick wouldn't have the same effect. It would look too shiny & oily.
You'll find that by the time you've done your eye make-up. Your lips will have the tiniest amount of Vaseline on them, and be as soft as anything. Ready for the gorgeous Lipstick :)

I used this lovely colour by MAC 'Up the Amp' Its a mix of Hot Pink and a hint of Purple. Stunning!




I put the tiniest amount on and thought it looked amazing! I love this shade. 

Straightened the hair as it has grown loads :)



Eye Make-Up Shot!
