Dramatic Eyes ♥

Some of us lady’s love big smokey dramatic eyes for parties, nights out or fancy dress. Its not everyones cup of tea, and wouldnt be my regular choice of makeup but it definitely looks fab for some occasions. My models pulled these looks of amazingly and all look superb! 

On my first model I used cranberry and black eye-shadow on the upper and lower lid. I went in heavy with gel eyeliner and used heavy contouring and highlighting.

Her lips were also super defined, I took my inspiration from Kylie Jenner. Who doesn’t these days? My models choker and school uniform just emphasized the look, so rocker and grungey ! 

On my next model I used burnt orange and black colour’s along with a hint of brown. Again I used the same method on this model. Heavy contour, heavy smoke and big lips. 

For this model I took a before and after photo to show the dramatic change….

Finally I done a lighter smoky eye on my last model, only bringing dark brown to the top of the lid and not underneath. This is her gorgeous before and after. Extra heavy contour and highlight on this model.

Paleolithic Lifestyle/Diet

Hey there,

So im very sorry I havent been keeping up with my posts lately, I’ve been sick for the last few weeks so expect quite a few posts all at once over the next while!

Being as ill as I have been over the last few weeks has really made me stop and look at my diet. I have chronic Asthma. Something I’ve suffered with since I was a tiny tot. 3 years old to be precise. As a result I have been taking inhalers daily for most of my life. Some stages have been more intense than others, stronger steroid inhalers, a nebulizer, all of that fun stuff haha. But anyway I developed an extremely bad chest infection which led to Pleurisy a few weeks ago. Being an asthmatic im so prone to chest infections so I wasnt one bit surprised when I developed yet another one. What did surprise me though was that the food I eat could have a massive effect on my asthma. After hours of research into the Paleolithic Diet I realised that it was definitely worth a go if it would benefit my lungs in any way.

So that’s where I am now. I’ve been eating nothing but suitable foods that go with this lifestyle, these include Meat,Fish,Poultry,Vegetables,Fruit and lots of water. I’m not eating any dairy,heavy/bad carbohydrates, grains or meats which don’t graze on grass. So far its going great and i feel so much healthier in myself. My breathing has been good so far. Id usually struggle to catch my breath even when I’ve taken my inhalers but I can’t say I’ve had that problem as of yet. YAY! 

I don’t consume any potatoes, pasta, bread or rice. No dairy at all either, not even a dairymilk. I can hear you all crying out noooo…yes that part has been the toughest! Complete chocoholic that I am. Weeeeh. Anyway instead I’ve been eating sweet potatoes and lots and lots and lots of veg and protein.

Honestly I didn’t know food could taste so good. Everything is so much nicer, more flavour. Just class. I love it so much and I’m so glad I made the decision to convert when I did instead of ten years from now.

There are so many gorgeous recipes , tacos, nachos, chicken casseroles, chicken stir fry, salmon, fritters, then there’s sweet potato pancakes , buns, muffins you name it you can have it. Dont limit yourself to the boring side of life. Come on and join the Paleo lifestyle its amazing, healthy and fun. I definitely wont be going back .

Have you had any experience with the Paleolithic Lifestyle? Id love to hear from you.
