My First Tutorial... Now, I've never done a tutorial in my life. Especially on a blog so excuse me if its a bit crappy. I am no means a make up artist or expert, I just love using it and being creative.
I started by applying my base makeup. To begin with i applied my This Works Primer and I used a sample foundation i received to try however i was not told what the foundation was and therefore i can't tell you guys what i used. I applied with a beauty blender and then used the Rimmel Insta Fix and Matte to set it.
I then moved on to they eyes. Every shadow i used on my eyes was from the Colourpop Yes Please palette. I started by applying the shade GNO all over the lid. I then blended the shade Spoiled into the crease and applied Big Cocktails deeper in the crease. I wanted to attempt a half cut crease and therefore i applied some Colourpop No Filter Concealer to my lid and looked up to mark where i needed to cut the crease. I then blended this into the lid. I then applied the shade Butter Cake to the lid, i packed this on for maximum pigment.I then blended this out slightly with the shade spoiled and added the Shade Bling to the outer corner. To finish off the eye look a blended Spoiled and bling under the waterline.I then finished the eye look with some eyeliner and a pair of Ardell lashes and the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara.
To finish off the look i needed to perfect my face makeup. I began by applying my Colourpop concealer under my eyes and on my blemishes. I then set that with my Rimmel powder. I outlined my brows using the black shade in the Collection Eyebrow Kit and filled them in using the Benefit Goof Proof. I then added bronzer and the blush from the NYX New York set to add colour to my face. I then packed on some Colourpop Flexitarian highlighter to my cheekbones and in my inner corner as i love to blind people with this super pigmented highlighter!
I feel this look is perfect for during the day on Valentines day. Please let me know what you think!

Welcome back! This post is a special post because today I am going to be showing you how to create an enchanting fishtail plait using Neal & Wolf's Enchant collection which they kindly sent me. I will leave a link to each product I use in this post for you guys. Overall this was a great experience and I loved the outcome! Lets get on with this tutorial!
Step One: To begin with I washed my hair using Neal & Wolf's Ritual Daily Cleansing Shampoo and Conditioner. This untangled and added moisture to my hair to ensure it was in the perfect condition for styling. This left my hair feeling and smelling simply amazing! I then towel dried my hair before applying the Elevate Volumising Lotion,which made a huge difference to the style I was creating, and the Guard Heat Protection Spray , to ensure my hair doesn't get damaged by the styling tools we will use.
Step Two: I dried my hair using My hair dryer. Once my hair was dried ( and looking perfect and less frizzy than usual due to the products might I add) I split my hair into two sections and softly curled the mid-sections of my hair using My curling wand. I have never seen my hair curl so nicely before and I will defiantly be using these products again before I curl my hair.
Step 3: Next I found my middle parting using a comb and tied one half up with a bobble so that it wouldn't get mixed up with the other half while plaiting.
Using the hair that was not tied up I split the hair into two sections and held each section in each of my hands. I then used my index finger to take a small piece of hair from the opposite section and then passed the outer piece of hair to the inner(Fishtail Plait). I then repeated this until the section of my hair was completed and then repeated this on the section of my hair that was tied up.
Step 4: To finish off the style I carefully pulled small strands of hair to make the plait look slightly messy and loose ( That's the style nowadays!. I then sprayed my style with Control Flexible Styling Spray to keep my hair in place and I spritzed Glow Super Shine Spray for a softer finish and glowing hair all day long!
I absolutely LOVED using Neal & Wolf's products for the first time and I was over the moon with the results. I recommend you all to try them out yourself and recreate this look! Don't forget to tag me ( @ Caitpaige_xo) and Neal & Wolf (@nealandwolf)on Instagram!
