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 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…
Hi Everyone! It’s been a while since I last poped up a youtube video, and what better time to do it after my very busy week last week involving several shopping trips! So I thought I’d share with you all a couple of things I purchased last week. Hope you enjoy 🙂
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…
For those of you who don’t know me, or are new to my blog and haven’t seen my previous posts on mascara, well I’m addicted to the stuff. I’m always on a hunt for a new mascara that claims to give me longer lashes with more volume, basically I’m a sucker for the stuff. So when this…
When it comes to lipsticks I’m not very experimental, it took me about 2 years to even get the confidence to wear a red lipstick outside of the house. I tend to stick to pale pink shades, or one’s that provide a little bit of colour. One thing that I’ve never been into is nude…
It’s now the time of year to start thinking about Christmas presents! Christmas shopping is probably one of my favourite things to do, but trying to work out what to buy everyone can be a huge faff sometimes! This year Vaseline have some lovely Christmas gifts available. The Vaseline Rosy Lip Pouch Gift Pack contains a Vaseline…
