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?

LUSH is somewhat famous throughout the blogging world for their bath bombs and bubble bars it seems. Until recently I’d never tried them out. I know right, where have I been? One bubble bar I often hear good things about is The Comforter. So I decided to break my bubble bar virginity with this. “This…
Recently I was invited back to Lush Luton for their summer beauty event. After having so much fun at their Valentine’s event a few months ago, I couldn’t wait to go back into Lush after hours to play with their products. The reason for the event, if you couldn’t guess, was to get to know more about…
Christmas is my absolute favourite time of the year, I just love everything about it, minus the Christmas shopping. It’s not that I hate Christmas shopping, I just never know what to get people. I particularly struggle with the men in my life. Having to shop for my dad, brother and other half, all of…

A few weeks ago I mentioned how I broke my spending ban and gave in to buying a few Origins products. At the time my skin was in a dire need of TLC, and my current skincare routine wasn’t helping at all. So when payday came around I decided to give in and buy a few…
