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?
When it comes to lipsticks I’m not very experimental, it took me about 2 years to even get the confidence to wear a red lipstick outside of the house. I tend to stick to pale pink shades, or one’s that provide a little bit of colour. One thing that I’ve never been into is nude…

I’m a recent graduate. Not only does this mean that I’m currently unemployed with an unhealthy obsession with Loose Women and Storage Hunters (brilliant shows FYI), but it means I’m on the hunt for a full time job. Being six months post graduation I’m getting job interviews down to a fine art now. As it’s…
It’s probably been forever since I’ve posted a NOTD post. In fact since May I’ve hardly worn nail varnish. I had the worlds most boring summer, where I spent the whole time at work, where I can’t wear nail varnish. The first few weeks of not being able to wear nail varnish was horrible. I…
My hair is usually a mess, it’s super thick, curly, and frizzy, and nothing ever seems to tame it. For years I’ve been trying a range of products to try and tame it, so I can look somewhat presentable, but my hair always seems to stay frizzy. I’m a sucker for products that say they…
Recently I’ve been painting my nails with dark and neutral colours. Browns, greys, taupes, that kind of thing. But as the sun has been coming out recently, it’s made me want something a little brighter on the nails. If your a long term follower of my blog you’ll know Barry M is one of my…
