My everyday Spring time look...

Hey Guys :)

Firstly can i just say bye bye Winter!!! 

So now that we are finally able to wave goodbye to winter and with spring peeking round the corner everything in my make up bag (and wardrobe) is changing! Out goes the deep reds and dark smokey eye colours & in comes the pinks & corals and the light & bright eye colours :)!! 

This make up look is the one i have found my self wearing every day for the last couple of weeks and i am really liking it. It's a fresh & flawless look that gives your skin a nice dewy glow too it. 

So firstly starting off with a cleansed and moisturized face i use my Benefit Porefessional Primer all over my face and let it set into my skin for a couple of minutes. Then taking a damp Beauty Blender i put a thin layer of Revlon Colorstay 24hr foundation for combination/oily skin in the shade 180 sand beige all over my face. I find a little goes along way with this foundation, you can always add a second layer if you want more coverage but i personally think one layer is just right. I then take Revlon Colorstay concealer in 02 light pale and conceal under my eyes, around my nose, on my chin and on any other little problem areas i have on that day, then i blend it all in with the pointy end on my Beauty Blender. Taking a damp Real Techniques Miracle Complexion sponge, i use MAC's Cream Colourbase in Diamonds from the RiRi Hearts MAC collection and dab it along the tops of my cheek bones giving them a nice glow. (This exact product is no longer available but MAC has similar colours to choose from in their pernament line.) Using the opposite end on the Real Techniques sponge, i take my Sleek cream blush in the shade Cupcake from the blush by 3 palette Sweet Cheeks and dab it onto the apples of my cheeks then i lightly blend it out with my fingers. 

(TIP ALERT: if you find your blush is to heavy or bright, take whatever you used to apply your foundation and go over the blush with what product is left on either your brush or Beauty Blender it will tone it down so you don't have to walk around with blush you don't like.)

For my eyes i always prime them with UrbanDecay primer potion. Taking a Deluxe Crease brush from Real Techniques i blend MAC's Phloof! all over my eyelids. Than on the same brush i use MAC's Satin Taupe on the outer corner and lightly through the crease. I love the Daniel Sandler longlasting waterproof eyeliner in black velvet, (it's one of my holy grail products!) I use it on my top & bottom water lines everyday and find it stays on for the majority of the day as well. Along my top lash line i use Eyeko's Skinny Liquid Liner in black. I'm not keen on really heavy eyeliner for a day time look so i tend to stick to a thin line an a small flick. My mascara is Maybelline The Falsies Flared in black, I don't think i could live without this mascara. I love it!! For my eyebrows i have been using MAC's Charcoal Brown again, i forgot how much i lived this product for my brows!!! Then i top it off with some Benefit Gimme Brow in Light/Medium.

For my lips i have been loving my Bobbi Brown lipstick in Hot Tutu and then putting a little UrbanDecay Naked lipgloss in the shade Lovechild over the top. 

Then last but not least, i finish it all off with a few sprays of UrbanDecay All Nighter Setting Spray.

I hope you like my everyday spring time look, let me know in the comments below what you guys think :)

First Mini Debenhams and Boots Haul of January...

So I was trying to be really good and not buy any beauty related items this month as I got a lot of items I have been wanting for ages for my Christmas and my birthday which is on December 14th. But that didn't happen lol, I lasted 12 days without buying something (think that may be a record for me though lol) then I went on to Debenhams website and had a little look which ended up in me making a little purchase of a new foundation :)!! I purchased the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation in the shade 10 beige. I have been looking at this foundation for months and I just decided I had to have it. It is the best foundation I think I have ever tried (the most expensive too) It hasn't disappointed me one bit, the colour is perfect, it sits nice on my skin & it has a lovely scent to it as well. This foundation was a little pricey at £32 but so far to me its worth the money.
 

 

Next I went onto Boots website and I picked up the Bourjois Bronzing Powder (looks like chocolate chunks) in the shade 51 for £6.99. I have seen so many people rave about this bronzer and I don't know why I haven't ever picked one up before now. It's brilliant, not shimmery and not orange. It gives off a nice light bronzy colour. I then picked up Maybelline The Mega Plush mascara in black for £7.99, I like this mascara for possibly everyday use but to me Maybelline The Falsies mascara is way better for volume and length! And last but not least I picked up the new Maybelline Baby Skin pore erasing primer for £7.99. I used it for the first time today and I really like it, makes your skin feel the same as it does when you have used Benefits Porefessional. It does what it says it does and erases your pores and makes your skin feel so silky and smooth.
