My Signature Lip!

I have been obsessed with this lip combo recently purely because it goes with basically every look and I have literally been wearing all the time! Its so beautiful and perfect for this this season so I thought I should share it with you!

 

 

    First of all I apply the Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in Eastend Snob all over the lips and it is just a really nice nude pink colour and if I am not feeling a gloss then I would happily go out with just the liner on and it just leaves a beautiful matte finish. Most of the time I am feeling a gloss though so I apply the Tanya Burr Lip Gloss in Champagne Toast on top and I am just so obsessed with that combo, I love the finish and the colour and Its a combo i wear all the time!

Have you got a lip combo that you are obsessed with?

Running Late Makeup Must Haves!

There's no doubt that at some point in a working day you will hit that snooze button one to many times and you end up being late and rushing around and tend to miss out quite a few steps in your morning routine although you still want to look presentable to the world.

 

 

 

As a base I mix my Simple Protecting Light Moisturiser with my No7 Triple Protection Tinted Moisturiser. The reason why I do this is to firstly, save time and secondly, because the tinted moisturiser alone is not to moisturising for me so I mix it with a different moisturiser and that gives me enough moisture and coverage for the day.

 

 

I always apply a bit of concealer whatever the time is because it makes me look much more awake and presentable. As you probably all know the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer is my favourite concealer of all time so its obvious that I would be using that with my Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge - to see my full rave on these two products click here -.

 

 

I love my bronzer because I just love the way it makes me look and you've probably heard me talk about this bronzer a lot too because it is amazing! Its the Body Shop Honey Bronzer. I love this stuff and I would recommend it to everyone!

 

 

For the eyes if I'm in a hurry I don't normally tend to bother with eye shadow because for me its just an extra step. So I just go straight into eyeliner then mascara, for eyeliner I like to use the Soap&Glory Smoulder Kohl Eyeliner. I use this in my waterline just for some definition and it also makes my me look ten times more awake. The mascara I have been loving recently has been the Benefit They're Real mascara, I feel like with this mascara your lashes can never get clumpy, it separates your lashes and makes them look big and voluminous within 1 coat.

 

 

I sometimes like to add a little colour to my lips so I like to apply my Maybelline Baby Lips Electro and I also keep this inside my bag for any touch-ups throughout the day. I like this because it is very pigmented for a tinted lip balm (way more than the original baby lips) and whilst it gives colour it also gives moisture to your lips too!

 

What are your running late makeup must haves?

The Flawless Under eye!

Today I am going to show you how you can create a flawless under eye using a combo of my favourite products!

 

To begin with to concealer them under eye circles i am going to use my favourite concealer of all time which is the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, I have loved this concealer for a very long time because for me it just ticks all of my boxes - the coverage is great, it dosen't crease, it dosen't look cakey and it lasts all day -.

Then to achieve more of a highlighted affect under the eye i  follow up by applying the L'Oreal Lumi Magique Highlighter Pen on top of the concealer, the reason why I put this ontop of the concealer and not just wear it alone is because it just does not have enough coverage on its own which i don't blame the product for because it doesn't claim to be a concealer in the first place. This just instantly brightens up that under eye  area and makes you look more awake.

To apply both of them products i use the Real Techniques Miracle Complextion Sponge, i prefer using this to apply my concealer than any brush and my fingers because it just makes the concealer look flawless and i will literally never apply my conealer with anything except this sponge because nothing else makes my concealer look as amazing! 

To set the concealer im place to ensure that it lasts all day and to help with the brightening I use the powder that comes in the Soap&Glory Kick Ass Concealer Kit. In that kit you get two different types of concealer and then you get a powder on top, i do really like the concealers that it comes with and i do use them every now and again but i especially like the powder and i use to set my concealer all the time.

So that is how i create a beautiful and flawless under eye which i wear ALL the time!

Do you have a concealer reccomendation you think i should try?

CoLab Dry Shampoo!

 Hey guys, so about 2 or so weeks ago Ruth Crilly from amodelrecommends released her own dry shampoo range and I was extremely excited to try her dry shampoo's! There are many different scents for different countries and the one that I have is in Rio and as it says it is very lovely tropical fragrance.

Me and dry shampoo's never really get along very well and I can't really figure out why because I have tried so many different dry shampoo's and all they do is make my roots hurt so bad, so I have been on the hunt for a dry shampoo that does not hurt my roots in any way and I think I have found it! This dry shampoo refreshes like you have just walked out of the shower and the best thing is that it is completely invisible even on super dark hair like mine. All you need to do is give it a little shake and the amazing invisible formula will come out and give your hair some goodness. Each scent smells incredible and this product will be for sure a staple in my collection because it ticks all of my super picky boxes!

Overall I would 110% recommend this product because it is seriously amazing without a doubt and on top of that all it is super cheap too! You can buy the 200ml from Superdrug for only £2.32!!!

 

Have you got any dry shampoo recommendations?

Eyeliner Trick!

 So, I recently discovered this amazing eyeliner trick that I have been using a lot these past few weeks and I thought I would tell you all about it!

 

 

You may or may not know that I much prefer using gel eyeliner than liquid eyeliner, I just find it much easier and better to work with. A couple of months back (I think it was August) I bought a copy of the Company magazine and it came with a free liquid eyeliner which was a bonus. I tried out the eyeliner and I really didn't like the formula, it was super watery and it had no pigmentation but I loved the felt tip applicator, so I left the eyeliner out overnight with its lid so it can dry up. The next morning the eyeliner was all dried up and I dipped the felt tip into my favourite gel eyeliner and used it like normal! I absolutely love this trick and I use it all the time!

 

Have you got any tips and tricks you want to share?

My Makeup Brush Collection!

Hii, today I am going to show you my makeup brush collection as it has been requested. I don't have as much brushes as you would probably expect but these are just the ones that I have collected over time!

Please excuse my dirty brushes!

As you can probably tell the majority of my brushes are from Real Techniques because they are amazing quality brushes at a really great price, you can find Real Techniques brushes In Boots and Superdrug so they are very easy to get hold of and many online retailers sell them too!

I will just pick out some of my favourite brushes for different parts of the face so....

 

For foundation my No.1 brush would be the Real Techniques Buffing Brush, this brush is part of the Core Collection and it is amazing for foundation, the bristles are densely packed and it is super soft! It blends in you foundation seamlessly and makes it look seriously fabulous! 

 

For blush and bronzer it has to be the Real Techniques Blush Brush because it is the perfect size to fit in the hollows of your cheeks for bronzer but it also fits on the apples of your cheeks nicely for blush so it is a nice multi tasker, I also use this brush for powdering sometimes because it works really nicely for that too! To contour though the best brush for that would be the contour brush from Real Techniques as well, this brush lets you contour like a dream and I also use this brush for many other things like highlighter, precision powdering and even sometimes blush so this brush is definitely a winner!

 

On to the eyes, for blending it has to be the Mac 217 brush. I don't know anyone who doesn't like this brush because it blends your eye shadow beautifully and you will never have harsh lines of eye shadow ever again! This brush can also be used for concealer because it is a nice fluffy brush and it blends it in beautifully too!

 

For any cream products the Real Techniques Stippling Brush is the perfect brush to use as it is dual fibre so it picks up the perfect amount of product to apply to your face!

 

So they are all of my picks from my brush collection!

Hope you liked it and if you have any question just leave it down below!
