Sitting down at my dressing table each morning always leads to me grabbing the same make-up items. Its not because they are particularly my favourite pieces from my collection, I purely find it easier to grab the same items.


The first product I go to is the L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Primer which is £9.99 to buy so a steal really for a primer which gives your skin a lovely, healthy looking glow. I have been using this for a few weeks now when I feel like my skin needs that extra glow and I have been loving it! The foundation I have been using lately is the Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation which retails at £10.99. I have been loving this foundation recently, although I don't really suffer from bad pigmentation I found that it really evened out my skin tone. Next I conceal my under eyes using a combination of Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer which is around £3.99 and the Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer Light which retails at £7.99. I place the Collection concealer in a V under my eyes and use the other to fill in the gap. I also using the Collection Lasting Perfection as a concealer for any blemishes I may have. To set all my base make-up I use the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder retailing at £3.99,i brush this round my face just to set it all in place.


Then its onto my eyes, I prime with the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion which costs £11.99 to buy, I am just using the tester size. I then use the Urban Decay Naked Palette, retailing at £37.00 which you may be thinking is a lot for an eye shadow pallet but it is one of the best I have used. The colours are very natural and great to use on an everyday basis. To line my eyes I have been loving the Magic Liner in Engraved from Topshop which costs £6.50 and is worth every penny! The liner applies so smoothly and stay on all day. From my brows I have been using the brow zings from Benefit, I use the powder first to shape my brows then apply the wax to keep them in place throughout the day, this retails at £24.50. To define my brow bone I use the high brow also from Benefit which costs £15.50.


The final steps are to define and put a little bit colour into my face. I start with the Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder Medium/Dark which costs £6.99. I use this as a contour colour and blend it into my cheek bones, around the top and bottom of me face. I then add a blush, I have been loving the CORALista from Benefit which is a box powder retailing at £23.50. I love the fresh colour this gives to my cheeks. To highlight I use the Topshop Glow Highlighter in Polish which is £9.00. This is a lovely cream highlighter which sparkles when the light hits it. To finish off the look I have been grabbing my L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Collection PrivĂ©e in the colour Julianne's Nude.

I have been loving this look for a nice natural finish and have been grabbing this items from my make-up collection for a few weeks now. You can also find a video of my Everyday Make-Up look on my youtube channel:

Sunday, 6 April 2014

Hiya guys, so for this weekends post i thought i would just let you know about what has been going on in my life lately and what i have been up to.

SOOO, this week has been quite stressful for me as i have had three assignments in at uni and a driving test. Unfortunatly i failed my driving test :( as i didn't notice a 30 sign and carried on doing 35! which i was absolutely gutted about but next time hopefully ill get there! But more about uni, so as i was saying i had three assignments in one which was presentation and two which where actually written assignments but I'm just glad they are out the way now and i have a nice three weeks off. I am planning a uni post for any of you who are at the stage of thinking about uni or are even at uni! stay tuned for that! 

More about this weekend, as i may have said in posts before my mam and dad have a caravan which they go to every weekend so i have the house to myself woopie! Normally i see this as a good thing but this weekend i had to look after the dog as my mam and dad set up the caravan, which of course means i haven't been able to do much. Saturday i spent lying watching Gossip Girl all day which if your not watching it or haven't already watched it you need to go start watching it as soon as you finish reading this post! I made myself some nachos with mince and backed it in the oven with salsa and cheese on whilst lying watching it yesterday which was amazing. Then once Alex had finished work we took my dog to his house to have a bit of socialisation with his dog and it also gave me a chance to socialise with some people as i had been stuck in the house since friday night. We took my pooch home and headed straight out to the movies, we wanted to see Noah but unfortunately it was all sold out :( so we saw The Grand Budapest Hotel instead which wasn't great but as we have the cine world passes i wasn't too bothered about seeing it as i didn't directly pay for the viewing of it.  

Today i am again sat around in my pjs whilst alex is at work and later on i am going to make a nice sunday dinner for him finishing work and take our dogs out to the park for a run around. 

I thought i would add a photo of some outfit planning i have been doing for my summer holiday, i know my holiday isn't for another 2 month yet but you can never start planning too early! 



This is one of the outfits that i have planned, it is a ditsy print playsuit from Henry Holland which i actually bought last year but will be wearing it again this year as i love it soooo much. With this i have pairs my new sandals which i got from primark for around £6-8 and this cute woven bag which is from Tescos but bought this quite a few years ago now. I also plan on wearing my sunglasses which are from HnM, a cute blue thumb ring and some beaded bracelets. To add a bit more colour to the outfit i thought i could wear my Nails Inc nail varnish in Chelsea Physic Garden which is just a gorgeous pale blue and Topshops lipstick in Ohh La La. 

Let me know if you would like to see more outfit plans, 
cya.
