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 ;).
Perfume is always something that interests me, but I’ve never had the chance to use many of. I normally ask for a Marc Jacobs one for Christmas (last year it was Daisy), which will last me all year and then I get a new one for Christmas. However this year my Marc Jacob’s ran out around…
I’ve been talking a lot on the blog recently about my Best Of 2013 Products – Hair, Skincare, Body, and Makeup. But I thought it was time I spoke about my favourite bloggers of 2013. A Blog From Blackpool This is a blog I’ve read since I started blogging and a lovely girl to chat to! Danielle always manages to make…
I can be a bit boring with my makeup choices, especially during the week while I’m at work and would rather have 5 minutes extra in bed. I try to change up my makeup routine now and then, but find I go back to the same products again and again. Currently I’ve been being a…
I’ve never been much of a perfume lover but recently I’ve found myself lusting over the stuff. As you may have known, me and the boyfriend were together for a year the other week, and for one of my presents he bought me Lola Marc Jacobs perfume. The good boy had listened to all my…
I recently posted about my new nail varnish purchases, one of which was Rimmel London’s ‘Disco Ball’. I was eager to try this one out! And this was the outcome of my new polish (please excuse my messy nails! I was in a rush!). I think the name ‘Disco Ball’ definitely suits this nail varnish, as it…
I recently bought myself this nail polish after I saw one of my best friends wearing it a few weeks back. I thought the colour looked great on her and I was dying to try it out myself. I love Rimmel London polishes, especially with the maxi brush, it makes it so easy to apply!…
