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 ;).
So this week I started back at uni for my second term of my second year (its scary how quickly uni is going!). And starting back at uni means early mornings and lots and lots of work :(. As I’m a person who chooses sleep over anything, I find myself using the same makeup over…
Hi there girlies! As many of you know I am a self confessed nail varnish addict. I love the stuff, I now have 56 bottles in my collection so I’m just ever so slightly addicted. Well lately I’ve started a job where I can’t wear nail varnish – absolute horror for someone who’s addicted….
The other day I met up with some of my lovely blogger friends Bex, Shona and Hannah to do what bloggers do best, shopping! We all met up in St Albans and had a good look around the shops and got some food at Wetherspoons. At the time I planned on being good, as…
Gosh there’s been so many good freebies around this month! Another one I’ve managed to get my hands on is Marie Claire, with a Inika eye shadow or eyeliner, I managed to get the eye shadow. The eye shadow comes out as a silver/purple/glittery kinda colour, which I love although I haven’t had much of…

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…
