I was given the opportunity to choose a pair of shoes from their new brand, Hardy, to try out and I was beyond excited. Hardy shoes all have this great ‘men’s fashion’ silhouette and are all slim, sleek, and GAAAWWW-GEOUS. Processed with VSCO with a6 presetProcessed with VSCO with a6 preset Processed with VSCO with a6 preset Processed with VSCO with a6 preset Processed with VSCO with a6 preset Processed with VSCO with a6 presetAfter much deliberation, (like literally took me over an hour just to pick a style), I decided on the Devon style in the colour ‘Mushroom’. The Devon shoe has a Nubuck leather outer layer and has a leather lining. My favourite part of the shoe has got to be its cushioned sole, making the shoe really comfortable. BUT I would recommend sizing up half a size especially if you have wider feet like me. Although I am usually a true 7.5 in shoes, I found that the slim shape of the shoe made it tight for my feet. I’ve only worn the shoe twice so far so I think it definitely still needs to be broken in, but I think size 8 would’ve been a good idea cause the shoe would be comfortable right off the bat. 

Other than that I really love the shape and style of the Devon shoe! I think it’s a very classic oxford shape with an elegant feminine twist. Plus how LOVELY is the ‘Mushroom’ colour though? Perfect for the spring/summer. I’m going to stick a shoe stretcher into it and see if it helps break in the leather a little. Will keep you guys updated on how it feels!

Everyday Eye Makeup Pictorial ! https://speakoftheangel.com/everyday-eye-makeup-pictorial/ https://speakoftheangel.com/everyday-eye-makeup-pictorial/#comments Wed, 25 Mar 2015 07:00:07 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=633 IMG_2938IMG_2952

Lately I’ve been really getting back into my Naked 3 palette. I forgot how much I loved the rosey golds and the pinky taupes. I know I’ve been really sucking at making Youtube videos lately. Something about it has really just not been clicking well with me. I’ve had no motivation to film or edit whatsoever. So instead, I decided I would show you guys my everyday makeup look through a pictorial !

DISCLAIMER : I am NOT, by any means, a MUA. I really WISH I was a MUA. BUUUUT I’m not. This is just how I do my face everyday. okaaaaaay leggo

I always start out with a transitional shade. Makes my life so much easier. Here I’m using a fluffy blending brush to blend Limit into my crease, and towards the inner corner of my eye.

To darken up the crease a little further, I’m taking that same blending brush and buffing Nooner into my crease as well.

Next, taking a slightly denser blending blush, I’m taking factory and placing it in the outer corner of my eye in my outer V and blending it slightly upward into my crease.

Then with a clean blending blush, I go back and really blend out the edges of Factory. If needed, I will take a little bit more of Limit and use it to really haze out the edge of the darker colours. You want the colours to fade out towards your browbone.

Then I take a fluffy shader brush and apply Burnout into the inner half of my lid, and then Strange into my inner corners as a highlight.

Rediscovered my love for gel liners recently, and haven’t stopped using this one ever since. This is just a 3 Concept Eyes Gel eyeliner pot that I bought in Hong Kong last summer. You can use any black eyeliner that you’d like ! I just went with a small wing (like I always do).

And VOILA ! here is the finished eye look !

As for my face makeup, I think I will be doing a separate pictorial (or maybe finally a video?!) of how I apply foundation, concealer, contour, blush and highlight. So incase you were wondering, keep your eyes peeled for that.

Same goes with my brows and fake lashes application !

Hope this was helpful some how !

Until next time,
