Today is my first day back to work after two lovely weeks off over Christmas. While I was on my annual leave I didn’t really wear much make up, especially as a lot of the time I was at home doing nothing. It was nice to give my skin bit of a break for a while, but I have missed wearing make up and I’m looking forward to wearing some again this week!
I don’t want to go crazy on the makeup front, especially as I haven’t worn some for a while so I’m just going to be wearing a few current makeup favourites. I’m starting with my current favourite foundations, Dior’s Star. It gives my skin an amazing glowy look which I’ve not found in the past with other foundations, and then I’ll use my Dior Star Concealor to cover up my dark circles and any blemishes. To colour in my eyebrows I’ll be using my Naked Basics Palette using the shade ‘Faint’ which matches my eyebrows perfectly, giving them a more defined look, and then I’ll use my Rimmel London Scanadleyes Mascara on my lashes. To give my cheeks a bit of colour I’ll be using Benefit’s Hervana blusher, and as I’ve got quite into red lipstick lately I thought I’d wear Rimmel London’s Kate Moss lipstick in the shade ‘Kiss of Life’.
It’s quite a simple makeup look as I’ve lost a bit of my mojo with makeup lately, but I’m feeling rather adventurous about wearing red lipstick to work for a change! If you saw my blog post yesterday you’ll know that I’m trying to use more of my lipsticks this year, so why not start with my first day back at work! Are you back to work today? What makeup products will you be wearing?
I’ve been trying to take better care of my skin lately, taking the time to have a proper skincare routine, and making sure I cleanse properly. Since sticking religiously to a good skincare routine I’ve seen some great results, and I’m now a big cleanser fan. I’ve been trying out all sorts of cleansers to…
I’ve been a little behind in blogging world recently but a few weeks ago I attended a bloggers tea party hosted by Aqua PR, Ajala Spa, and Sranrom at St Paul’s Grange Hotel with my good blogging friend Louise. I loved the idea of a tea party, and find myself to be bit of a tea…
You may have seen on my latest Haul Post that the lovely Shona from Fresh Beauty XOX talked me into buying a couple of the MUA Power Pouts. We stood there in Superdrug swatching them, and Shona convinced me I needed these in my life. It’s been a while since I’ve used any MUA products, and the last time…
Recently I was tagged by the lovely Shona on the How Much Is My Face Worth tag and thought I’d give it a go. I remember doing this many moons ago and thought it was great fun and kind of interesting to see how much I actually spend on make up! Clinique Even Better Foundation – £24…
So today’s NOTD post is about Barry M Nail Effects. I know this has been around for ages, but I’ve only just got around to getting nail effects in ‘white frost’ in the last couple of weeks. I love the Barry M Nail Effects, I own all four, I just think there amazing. I think…
If you follow my blog under a close microscope you may have noticed the increase of mentions of skin care products recently. Lately I’ve learnt the benefits of a proper skincare routine and I’m starting to invest in more high end skin care products. I never used used to believe that high end skin care…
