Birthday Make Up

As promised here is the make up I wore on my birthday!

FOTD #6

Here's a face of the day from last Saturday when I went to The Fable for dinner and drinks to celebrate my friend's birthday. I went for a full face but while still looking quite natural.

FOTD #5

Woah, I haven't done a face of the day post since April! My bad... Anyway, I thought I'd share with you all the look I wore to a philosophy seminar (yup) and dinner with uni friends.

FOTD #4

FOTD #3

Face

I buffed a small amount of Dr Jart's Water Fuse BB Cream all over my face, this is absolutely amazing, it gives a decent coverage, last a long time and gives the skin a pretty, dewy look. I then concealed under my eyes and any blemishes which the BB cream didn't cover with the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. And for the cheeks I applied ELF's Mineral Blush in Coral.

Eyes

I first put on shade three from my MUA Undressed Palette all over the lid just to even out the colour on my lids, it's basically the same colour as my skin tone. I then dabbed a little bit of shade two on my inner corners of my eyes just to brighten my eyes. I did my usual eyebrow routine using Rimmel's Eyebrow Pencil in Brown Black and applied Benefit's High Brow Pencil on the brow bone. I then applied Rimmel's Scandal Eyes Kohl Pencil on my water line, and upper lash line. I curled my lashes using my Sephora lash curler and then applied a couple of coats of Rimmel's 1 2 3 Looks Mascara (which I don't think they make any more and I understand why). 

Lips

I first dabbed on my Kate Moss for Rimmel Lipstick in shade 22 and then smudged it in with my finger to create a stain effect and then applied Jemma Kidd's lip gloss in Fuschia to create a pretty, everyday red lip.

Hope you all have a good weekend!

Life of Pi Premiere - Make Up & Accessories

Firstly, I primed my eyes with elf's eyelid primer, it's not the best, but not the worst. Then I applied shade four in the MUA Undressed palette all over the lid, then used shade eight to create a subtle smokey effect, I also took shade eight along the bottom lash line, I lined my water line with the Rimmel Scandal Eyes pencil, created a thin top liner and flick with L'Oreal's Super Liner, brushed through my eyebrows and filled them in a bit more darker than usual with Rimmel's eye brow pencil. I then applied a bit of white shadow from an elf palette into the inner corners, applied two generous coats of Maybelline's Great Lash mascara after curling my lashes and then concealed my under eyes with YSL's Touche Eclat.

To prime my face I used Benefit's Porefessional, then I applied Mica Bella's mineral powder foundation, I then contoured with Dior's bronzer, I highlighted and contoured my nose with Sleek's Face Form kit in Medium and then applied Benefit's Dallas to the apples of my cheeks.

For lips I used a beautiful, pink Chanel lipstick.

The perfume I used is one of my all time favourites, and something I only like to wear for special occasions or night outs (so...not often ;P ) Thierry Mugler's Alien. It's a musky, deep, heavy scent. I adore his perfumes.

For nails I put on Essie Ballet Slippers, one of my favourite nail polishes. Such a delicate colour.

I love these earrings from Forever 21,  I thought they went really nice with the dress.

I took my beautiful studded clutch from Topshop and I filled it to the brim. Yup. (I can't find the exact one I have, mine has silver studs and cost £40 but the one I linked is basically identical except it has gold studs.)

And here are my 'killer' heels from Office. I didn't fall, guys! That is an accomplishment. I am proud.

I hope you enjoyed this post! To read more about the premiere and to see my outfit click here. I hope you all had a lovely Monday/Tuesday (it's 2.30am, I'm just still so excited and happy so I can't sleep!)

FOTD #2

Benefit Dallas Blush - YSL Touche Eclat - Revlon Just Bitten Kissable in Honey - Estee Lauder Eye Shadow Palette - Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - Rimmel Scandal Eyes Kajal - Benefit High Brow Pencil - elf Eyelid Primer in Sheer - Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil in Black Brown

I found my little Estee Lauder eye shadow palette (you know the ones you get in a big gift bag) and decided to use it as I've only ever used it once. So, I made a little bit of an effort on a Monday morning. I don't wear eyes shadow everyday as A. I don't have the time. B. My eyelids get oily so by the end of the day my eye shadow has disappeared (even with primer!). So I tend to wear eye shadow on a night/evening out, but generally Mondays are short days for me so I thought why not? I just applied Honey Drop all over the lid, then applied Cinnamon on the outer corner and dabbed a bit of the ivory box in the inner corner, lined my eyes with a pencil for a softer look and I was rushing out the door (I was a few minutes late to class, whoops).

Thanks for reading, hope you have a lovely week! (And I know, double post today woo! Not woo? Woo for me, woo!)

FOTD

Today I woke up a bit late (and it had nothing to do with the fact that I went to bed late due to the caffeine pills I had taken earlier, nope) so I didn't have too much time to do my make up. Therefore, I kept it pretty simple.

elf Mineral Blush (Bliss) - Dior Bronzer - Rimmel Scandal Eyes Black - Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil- YSL Touche Eclat - Benefit High Brow - Maybelline Great Lash - Revlon Just Bitten Balm Stain - Make Up Forever Full Cover - Sephora Eyelash Curlers 

I love these products a lot and these are my go-to products on a daily basis (except the elf blush is new, so I just wanted to try it out). If my skin isn't looking too great I usually apply a bit of Benefit That Gal Primer and sometimes might add a bit of mineral foundation, but today I was having a good skin day so I didn't feel the need to put anything on my face. I switch my lip product everyday, but today I felt like having a bold lip so I used Revlon's Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Crush - I absolutely adore these things! 

I use the YSL Touche Eclat under my eyes and the Make Up Forever Full Cover on any blemishes such as on my chin and around my nose. 

The Dior bronzer is new to my collection, my mum gave it to me (yay) and I love it! It's so matte and it has SPF which is always a bonus - I just sweeped it along my cheekbones and jawline to contour a little and to add some colour to my skin. 

I am loving Rimmel's Scandal Eyes eye pencils (I have one in nude too), they're so long lasting and so soft - probably the best eye pencils I have ever used. 

So that's just a quick summary of the products I used today. I hope everyone had a lovely day!
