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 ;).
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…
If you haven’t guessed from my blog already, I’m a huge lover of beauty products. For as long as I can remember I’ve been addicted to picking up new products to try out, especially from brands I’ve not tried before. Of course I’ve got a few favourite products I like to repurchase again and again,…
A brand I hear a lot of positive things about is The Bluebeards Revenge. I’ve seen numerous male bloggers raving about their products recently, and it’s a brand I want to explore for my other half. Not being the expert in men’s grooming, I don’t know much about their products. But I have seen many…
Lately I’ve got into a bad habit of eating too much rubbish, not doing an exercise, and basically being far too over-indulgent. Christmas is a big part to blame in it, and during the lead up I had a lot of Christmas parties I went to, where I made a lot of bad food choices. I went back to…
The Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser is something that’s raved about in the beauty community and I’m sure we’ve all heard about it. But at £23 for 200ml, its something that’s slightly out of my price range, especially when it’s quite a lot of money to part with just to try out…
If you read my blog frequently you’ll know I’m bit of a skincare addict. I’m constantly talking about lotions and potions, but something I’ve only just started using properly is serums. I never used to understand how important they were in my skincare routine, and didn’t really know what ones were best for me. I…
