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 a huge lover of neutral eyeshadows, in fact they’re the only colours I’ll use. There’s nothing more I love than a natural brown smokey eye for a night out, I much prefer to use a colourful lipstick than a colourful eyeshadow. So when Chemist Direct contacted me and asked if I wanted to try out the [amazon…
Recently my skin has been looking a little ‘meh’. It’s been looking dull, dry, and I’m getting quite an outbreak of spots. I’ve never had amazing skin, and it’s never seemed to grow out of it’s teenage spot phase. But it’s been looking even more worse for wear recently. So I decided it was…
So yesterday I went out to the cinema with my friend to see Horrible Bosses – amazing film! So as I was going out I found an excuse to doll myself up and put on some make up. I’m still not great at this whole taking photos of myself thing, but I think I’m improving!…
I’m not usually one to get sucked in to the sales after Christmas, but this year I was sucked into a couple of 50% off sales, one being from The Body Shop. I love The Body Shop products and find I always have a ‘back up stock’ of them. I originally wasn’t going to make…
I’ve never really been one for skincare, having always kept my skincare routine very very simple only using face wash. But since discovering Superdrug’s Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser a month ago I’ve seen such an amazing difference in my skin. I’ve been using it as a permanent part of my skincare routine and the results have…
Hi Lovelies! It’s that time again to share my monthly favourites with you! And for once were not too late into the month (I swear one day I will get one of these filmed and up actually at the beginning of the month!) It’s been a busy month back at uni, but I think I’m…
