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 ;).
There are so many good freebies on magazines this month! If my bank balance would allow it I would of bough them all. Sadly I’m poor at the moment so I settled on a £2 copy of Glamour. This month I got myself a Benefit freebie! Benefit are giving away three different shades…
I’ve been a fan of hair oils for a couple of years now. Since I discovered how the V05 Miracle Concentrate and Moroccanoil work wonders on my hair I’ve never stopped using them. I’ve got on so well with hair oil that I’m always looking out for other alternatives to try out to try and find the perfect one…
I don’t mean this to sound creepy, but I love looking in other peoples rooms. I’m interested to see how other people decorate their rooms, or use storage etc. Especially at uni where were giving a small plain box room, I like seeing how others make their room seem like home. I moved back home…
The Ojon Rare Blend Oil is something I’ve heard about in the blogosphere for the longest time. It’s been on my wishlist for well over a year now but even though I’m a self confessed hair oil lover, I just couldn’t see myself parting with £30 for one. It wasn’t until my boyfriend’s parents gave…
It’s been forever since I’ve done a monthly favourites post, this year it just going by so quickly I can hardly keep up with the months going past! May has been a fairly busy month, so I completely forgot to take note of what products have been this months favourites, so this is more of…
I love nothing more than a good pampering session. A good soak in the bath, hair mask, face mask, painting my nails, the works. There’s nothing better than when you have some good products to help you out when your in need of a good pamper. One of my new favourite things is Treacle Moon’s…
