I always tend to find myself sticking to the same make up routine, using the same products over and over. So much so, that recently I decided to cut down on my make up collection. I found there was what seemed like 100’s of products I just wasn’t using, so I decided enough was enough, and bought myself some new Muji storage and decided what fitted in the drawers stayed and everything else had to find a new home. So with my newly reduced make up collection, all the products I had I actually used. With this I’ve created a sort of ‘everyday-go-to-make-up-routine’. I’ve managed to narrow this whole routine down to five minutes, which is coming in handy with my early mornings at the library.
I start off with my current favourite foundation, Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in the palest shade possible and buff that in with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush. Then I take my Collection 2000 concealor and use it under my dark circles, and on any blemishes I have. Then I set my foundation with the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection powder, which I love because it doesn’t make my skin too matte. Then I start work on my eyebrows. I find that if I leave my brows naturally their rather pale and patchy from years of over plucking. So the Sleek Brow Palette helps to fill out my brows and make them look natural. Then on my lashes I use the Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara* to give myself some nice long looking lashes. Then to contour I use the Bourjois ‘Chocolate’ Bronzer, which helps give my cheek bones a bit more depth. Then my current favourite blusher, the Vivo Cream Blush in Pink Glow, which gives my cheeks a nice rosey glow. To give myself a nice highlight I use Benefits Girl Meets Pearl on my brow bone and the tops of my cheeks. To finish it off I use the Sugar Rose Lip Treatment, just to give my lips a little colour. And there you have it, done in five minutes, giving myself some extra time in bed ;).
The other day I posted about my Christmas Nail Art designs and decided to have a play around with my nail art pens. One of the nail art designs I tried was a snowflake and as its now leading up to Christmas I thought I’d give it a go so that my nails can look all pretty…
I’m completely and utterly obsessed with Soap and Glory products. Their skin care, moisturisers, makeup, everything I’ve tried from them so far has impressed me. All their products smell amazing, their skin care does wonders for me, and they have a great variety of colours with their lipstick selection. Everytime there’s a Boots 3 for 2 offer…
I’ve recently become bit of an Origins convert. Since trying out a few of their products I’ve become hooked and can’t wait to get my hands on more. You may have noticed in my latest haul post that I picked up GinZing on bit of a whim. Well I’ve now had a chance to try it…
First of all, how is it June? I swear yesterday I was writing Christmas present gift guides and trying to work out what to get people, and now I’m having to work out what to buy my dad for Father’s Day. When it comes to buying my dad gifts I’m hopeless, I just never know…
I’ve been thinking a lot about moving out lately, and especially how me and my other half have been together a very long time now and want to move on with our lives. We’re currently living with my parents, and to be honest we’re quite happy at the moment, we just don’t have a lot…
I bought Models Own ‘Smash Up Silver’ a good month or so ago and I haven’t got round to reviewing it yet! O silly me! Since I discovered Barry M’s nail effects a few months back, I was hooked. I loved experimenting with the black over different colours, and being amazed at the outcome. Soon later Barry…
