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 meaning to do this post for a while now, but oops I’ve been neglecting my little blog lately! I promise I’ll try to get back into it! Also how is it now August?! Is it just me or is 2011 the fastest year yet? So here’s what products I’ve been enjoying in…
[et_pb_section bb_built=”1″][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text] I thought I’d share with you a little purchase I made the other day. I was wondering around Boots (as usual), and saw this special offer on the shelves near the till. Buy a 17 Falsifeye mascara and get a 17 Falsifeye gel eyeliner free. Well I just couldn’t resist! Especially how…

I think there’s nothing more girly than adding a touch of glitter to your nails and watching them sparkle. The other day I was craving full on, over the top glitter on my nails, so decided to give my nails…
I’m always on the hunt for a new mascara that gives me great length and volume, and I’ve tried hundreds on my mission to find ‘the one’. When I was given the chance to try out Bourjois newest one, the Volume 1 Seconde Mascara, of course I said yes, it sounds like my exact type…
For the past year I’ve heard nothing but good things about Essie nail polishes. Almost every blogger has been raving about them and their shades. On seeing many a blog post and YouTube video about them I decided that yes, I had to join the hype and treat myself to some, especially since their now…
I love a good foundation, well who doesn’t? I can’t remember the last time I did my make up without using the stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t cake my face in the stuff, just a light covering around my face. I only use one brand of foundation – Rimmel London. After years of…
