Current Favourites!

Ello lovelies!

This this is a bit of a random post for me today, as i don't often do favourites as i find a lot of the time what i use day to day stays the same. But lately I've been loving a completely different set of products than normal, so i thought I'd share it! And being the forgetful person i am i forgot to photograph one of my top favourites, so I'll include it in at the end!


Real Techniques Brushes:

So we all know everyone loves these! I had put off buying some for a long long time, convincing myself that i did not under any circumstances need new brushes... i obviously wasn't that convincing! I first had the pleasure to try the Eye set after winning a giveaway and after feeling how incredibly soft they are decided i needed more, now! My two must haves are the Buffing and Powder brush, they have completely transformed my routine, i love them!

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer:

Another well heard of product! I've not had the best experiences with concealer  in the past and normally would just use more foundation, but oooh how I've learnt. This product is AMAZING. I've been really enjoying using lighter, dewier foundations and this concealer just allows me to cover any imperfections without looking over made up or cakey.

China Glaze Riveting Polish:

This is the prettiest polish i have ever seen and has been on my nails 90% of the time since i snagged one off eBay. I've done a full review on this here.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Perfume:

Sweet, girly, fruity scent that is absolutely perfect for spring/summer! Adore!

Embyolisse Lait-Creme Concentrate:
I picked this up at IMATS in February and its been pretty unloved. Its a little less hydrating than my normal moisturisers but its also a lot lighter on the skin so with my new tinted moisturiser love it works really well! I really enjoy using this on my lips before lipstick too, gives the perfect amount of hydration without being greasy!

Makeup Forever Smoky Lash:

Best mascara I've tried, ever! Perfect amount of length and volume and no smudgy marks under the eyes, perfect! Again I've done a full review here.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser:

Weirdly, this was one of my first reviews! I loved it at first, then went back to my Double Wear as i tend to favour fuller coverage. Well, not anymore! I am really enjoying this currently, with it being Spring (not that you'd notice with all this rain!) I'm attempting a more fresh, glowy look, and this achieves that perfectly! It is very light coverage so i do have to use quite a bit of concealer, but it still looks radiant and healthy. The only downside is the price, around £33 I'm not sure if I'd be able to stomach paying that for it.

Bobbi Brown Bronze Shimmer Brick:

Okay, so i cheated a little bit with this one. Its not actually my product, its my Mums but since we share the same area to put our faces on in the morning i do get to cheekily pinch some of her products. With a light hand this looks lovely to add a bronzey glow instead of using a blush, I've been enjoying just contouring and using a smidgen of this!

Nars Laguna Bronzer:

Okay, another cliche product! But I've been adoring this for contour! Simple as that!

And the missing products! Lip products! I've never been a lip girl but I'm obsessed with corally pinky toned lippies lately! My most worn is Costa Chic from Mac over Nyx's Pinky Lip Pencil, i neeeeeed more corally lip products!

So that is it!
Feel free to link me your favourites posts! I love a good nosey!

My Everyday Face

Aloha!
Thought I'd just do a little post today on my "Everyday Face". My routine changes quite a lot, i like to rotate foundations as much as possible because i frankly have too many! And i just find myself wearing a different blush each day, and more recently, lipstick! I'd say 75% i go for a more natural look paired with a winged eyeliner for day time, and if I'm feeling more adventurous I'd add lipstick, I'm LOVING Costa Chic at the moment!

Eyes:
 Urban Decay Primer Potion
Elf Liquid Liner
MUFE Smoky Lash Mascara 

Mac Dazzlelight Eyeshadow
Mac Omega Eyeshadow (Brows)

 Face:
MUFE HD Foundation mixed with Benefit's Girl Meets Pearl.
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer
Nars Laguna Bronzer
The Balm Frat Boy Blush

Lips:
Nyx Lip Pencil in Pinky
Mac Costa Chic Lipstick

After writing all that i realise that is quite a lot of product for such a simple look, but its more or less my daily face. I really should be a tad more adventurous!

Do you have your own "daily face" or do you switch it up a little more than me?

FOTD + New Hair!

 

Ello lovelies!
So today i had one of those impulsive moments and decided to change up my hair. Well originally, i planned to just do my roots and slap my usual red on top but noticed i had a slightly different Wella dye in the drawer and thought, why not?! If i don't like it i can always shove a semi on top!

Well... i kinda like it! 

Giving the porosity of my hair I'm not sure how long it'll last, but if i can find a good gingery semi i might be keeping this for a while. And inspired by my new hair i decided to give my Naked Palette another go. Its been sat unloved since i was first sucked in by the hype. Until now i couldn't never really get the colours to work on my pasty skin, but after today I'm sure it'll get a bit more use!

Eyes:

Benefit - Stay Don't Stray

Urban Decay - Sin, Virgin, Toasted, Hustle.

Urban Decay - Zero 23/7 Liner

Smashbox - Felt Liner

Inglot - AMC 67

Face:

Skin Food - Red Bean BB Cream

Collection 2000 - Lasting Perfection Concealer

   So when this fades do i keep it up? Or go back to my usual red? Or even try blonde, i really know know!
