Current 'Go-To' Make Up

Hello

I have been LOVING Yankee candles if you didn't know already...

Today I'd like to talk you through my current go to make up look. I call it a 'go to' look because it is what I've been wearing on the days I have actually worn makeup. A lot of the time I've just been embracing the facial nakedness on a mission to restore my skin to it's Summer goodness. Right now I'm failing that mission :(

So first lets talk about the base; I have returned to my Rimmel Wake Me Up duo because I do love it so much and at the moment the foundation coverage is perfect for me - not too full on but heavier than my Bourjois Health Mix. As for the concealer it helps conceal my horrible bags but brightens the under eye area too without creasing. Yayy for non-creasing concealers.

For cheeks I have been using the usual Sleek contour kit to contour my cheekbones and create a pretty little highlight on occasion but I have also been switching things up a bit by sometimes using my Bourjois chocolate bronzer (I love the smell of this) alone partially to contour and partially as a bronzer blush. I like both.

I've been rocking the simple but gorgeous Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless mascara in brown. Together with my eye lash curlers I could be wearing more natural, pretty looking falsies. Who would know?! I LOVE this mascara and recommend it to you all.

Finally, on the lips, I have been wearing my bold and bright Calvin Klein 'Mesmerize' lipstick with pride. I love this colour all year round but to me it is an Autumn shade. What do you think?

So that is all from me this week, I'll be back next week with my last post of November. Not long until Christmas now, eh? Eeek!!

Until next time

What's Inside My Everyday Makeup Bag?

Hello

That's right. Today I'm going to be showing you the products I use on a daily basis so without further ado, let's begin. 

My makeup bag is a cute little floral case from the Heathote & Ivory vintage collection. I chose it myself and gave it to my brother to buy for me for Christmas last year. It came with a perfectly sized mirror which I carry inside at all times and I just love it. If I am to be absolutely honest this is the only makeup bag I have used properly and stuck to. I've been using it for 7 months now, wow!! 

I'm thinking the best way to do this is just to give you a list of products with a link for if you'd like to find out more or try them out yourself. So here we go, starting with base... 

Heathcote & Ivory Vintage Collection Mimosa and Pomegranite Lip balm. 

Bourjois Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix Foundation in 'Vanilla'. This was actually an accidental purchase because I wanted to try the Healthy Mix Gel Serum but I picked up the wrong thing. Oops. 

Garnier Anti-Dark Circles Roll On in 'Fair'. Luckily my skin is okay at the moment so I haven't needed any other concealer however I would use either the Clinique Air Brush Concealer or the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer. 

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in 'Peach Glow'.

Sleek Face Contour Kit in 'Light'. This contains a contour and a highlighter as you can see in the swatch below. 

No7 Natural Blush Tint Powder in 'Honey' - need I say anything about this after my recent posts mentioning it?

Revlon LashFantasy Total Definition Mascara - I use the primer only. 

W7 Lashed Up Mascara, I love the packaging of this and it also came with the 'Draw the Line' eye liner.

Finally, for the lips I use either;

Calvin Klein Luxury Creme lipstick in the colour 'Mesmerize' (below right).

Wet'n'Wild Silk Finish lipstick - shade unknown (below left).

All of the brushes I keep in my makeup bag are from THIS EcoTools brush set. I like them a lot. 

There we go, everything I slap on my face every morning. What's in your make up bag? Leave me your blog link in the comments so I can check it out. 

Until next time
