Easy Interiors

I'm massively into interior design, so thought I'd show a few little, inexpensive touches you can add to your room. I tend to keep things monochrome and minimalist; enjoy!

Nude palettes: my top picks

As many know, I am a sucker for a nude palette and live by the rule that you can never have too many. So, I decided to post about my top 5. 

1.) NAKED - £38
I got my naked palette back in 2012 and it is definitely my most loved and most loved palette. It's looking a little worse for wear but I cannot emphasise enough how long lasting and pigmented the shades are; so easily blendable and so many different looks can be created with the 12 shades. 

2.) Soap and Glory's "lid stuff" - £10 

This palette looks similar to a Mac quad, but at just £10, is a steal. I've found the white to be perfect for the browbone, and I use the matte brown on my brows. Perfect if you've not got much room in your make up bag!

3.) "Natural Eyes" by Too Faced - £32 

Unfortunately I don't think this is available in the UK; I picked it up in Sephora in New York (Sephora do ship to the UK however, if you're interested). What I love about this palette is that it comes with a manual, so shows you exactly which colours to pick and where to put them in order to create different looks. I like that it's relatively small but still has an amazing range of colours. 

3.) "Eyes Uncovered" by Collection - £3.99

I have to say I was AMAZED when I saw this in boots - £3.99 for a palette which could be seen as a 'mini naked'! I admit I thought it was too good to be true and the actual eye shadows would be rubbish, but I was definitely mistaken. If you're on a budget, I'd honestly say it's just as good as Urban Decay!

5.) NAKED 3 - £38


And last but not least, naked 3. I think this palette really is beautiful, but I haven't found all that much use for it. It's all very pink toned, which doesn't suit me massively. However, as you can see, I fell in love with "dust" - a very similar colour to "silk teddy" in the too faced palette.

What are your favourite nude palettes?

Injecting a little colour into my wardrobe

As most people know, I rarely wear anything colourful. I tend to stick to black, white and grey; not only because I like the minimalistic look, but because it's practical.

However, as it's summer, I thought I should branch out a little. I found this A-line skirt on asos and fell in love. I thought a block piece would work well, because I can just pair it with a black or white top etc. I find A-line skirts to be flattering for my figure, and at just £20 it was a bit of a steal! It comes in tons of other colours so I think I might have to pick up a couple more. 

How do you inject a bit of colour into your outfits?
