FOTD #12.

Hello everyone, it's face of the day time! 

This was one of those days when I had time to experiment with my makeup, and i love love love how it turned out!

I based this look around trying to create a matte brown eye, and I love the result (so much so that I'm sporting it again as I write this) I paired it with a peach lip, which is as nude as I seem to be able to go, anything else just washes me out of ends up look like a dreaded `concealer lip`.

Ok, so I began as always by priming my face with Rimmel Fix and perfect. I then used the Seventeen Phwoarr paint concealer under my eyes and over blemishes, followed by my Rimmel Match perfection foundation. Next I dusted my Rimmel Stay matte powder all over. After that I contoured my face using my old favourite the Sleek contour kit, and highlighted using the Bourjois Java rice powder over the high-points on my face. My blush choice was Bourjois Healthy mix 41 which add the perfect peachy tone to my face. To compliment and amplify this, on the lips I went for a Rimmel Apocalips in Luna. I used the MUA Pro brow kit and BROWdrama for my eyebrows, and I actually used the kit for my eyes too, sweeping it all over the lid (the darkest colour out of the set) at first and then building up the colour to intensify it in the crease and outer corner. I then look a brown Maybelline eyeliner under my eyes and a tiny bit on my upper lash-line, smudging it out slightly. I finished the whole look off with a few generous coats of my Rimmel Scandaleyes flex mascara. 

So that's another look I've added to my repertoire! I really like it because I feel like it's a little bit in the smokey eye territory but still perfectly day time appropriate. I've also been more of an eyeshadow than winged liner girl of late (I know what is happening) but I can't say I'm not loving it. 

I also want to thank you for the lovely comments left on my prom post, I couldn't stop smiling after reading every single on of them! In other news, I got a job! I'm not working int the Office concession in House of Fraser and totally loving it :)

Life through my lens #10.

Hello everyone,

 I have finished all my exams! (cue fanfare and whooping) I cannot tell you how good it feels to know that I don't have to look at a text book or sit in a stuffy/freezing exam hall for a few months. I feel like they all went reasonably well, I guess only time will tell now! Although waiting until the 21st of August might just drive me insane first...

I thought to get back into blogging again, I'd do a round up post, I love writing these and I hope you guys like reading them too :)

FOTD #11.

Hello everyone, look who found some time to blog! 

This makeup look is one I wore during the half term to pop out to the cinema (I saw Bad Neighbors if you wondered, it was pretty crappy, but just a welcome break from science!) I really like how it turned out and I have been wearing this combination lots recently. 

I'm loving using eyeshaow at the moment! Since getting my MAC palette, I have been making the most of the two shades I do have. I think the gorgeous Amber Lights- gold is a green eyed girls best friend!

-Products used-

So first off, I primed my face using my favorite Rimmel Fix and perfect Primer, followed by the Seventeen Phwoarr paint concealer under my eyes and on blemishes. My foundation of choice was the Rimmel Match Perfection one, I still love it! I then took my Rimmel Stay Matte powder all over to keep my base in place and prevent unwanted shine. I contoured using the Bourjois Bronzing primer and then highlighted with MAC soft and Gentle. I used my old faithful Sleek blush by three palette in Lace (a mix off The middle shade and the one on the right.) I just did my standard brow routine, using the MUA Pro brow kit and Maybelline BrowDrama.

To start with on my eyes I used a Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeshaow stick in Bulletproof beige. I then took shade 6 from the MUA Undressed palette all over the lid. Next I worked MAC Amber Lights into the crease and outer corners, winging it slightly, I love the depth it gives it the this look! Finally I swept a few generous coasts of the Maybelline falsies mascara. I finished everything off with my Topshop Rio Rio lipstick, one of my favourite reds. 

I hope any of you doing exams are finding it alright, or that the lucky of you are enjoying your time off!

FOTD #10.

Hello everyone,

 Ah it feels like a long long time since I last blogged, it was only Monday, but this week has seriously messed with my sense of time ahah! Anyway, I've not done an FOTD in rather a long time, so after having a play with my makeup the other day, I though i'd share it with you lovely lot. Two things though; no idea what my hair is doing in any of these pictures, and excuse the break out I have going on.

So basically, with this look, I was working around the gorgeous MAC eyeshadow Fig- going for a slighly unseasonable purple theme. It is the lovelies plumy purple shade and I love the way it turned out! I think it really brings out my eyes and is perfectly dramatic. 

Products used;

I'll talk you through how I created this look. I began by smoothing the Rimmel Fix and Perfect primer all over my face. I then swiped the Seventeen Phwoarr paint under my eyes and over my blemishes. Next step was to dot my Rimmel Match perfection foundation onto my face and then blend  in using my trusty Real Techniques Expert face brush. Onto contouring, I used the Bourjois bronzing primer to define my cheekbones, and also over my temples and across my jaw line. I then swept my favourite Collection Shimmer shades (which isn't actually shimmery at all) over my cheeks. I then took MAC soft and Gentle over the high points of my face. To keep thing matte I dusted Maybellines Fit me! powder all over.

So onto my eyes; I fist took my sample of the original Urban Decay Primer potion all over my lids to create a base. Next I took MAC Fig all over my lids, working to build up the colour. Then I buffed the shade Regal from the Sleek Au naturel palette into my crease and the outer corners. Next I used a little bit of Blackheart from my Naked3 palette to line my eyes and wing them out slightly. I finished with a generous flick of the Maybelline Rocket volume mascara on my top and bottom lashes.  I forgeot to photograph the products (doh!) but I used the MUA brow palette and Maybelline Brow drama to do my eyebrows. 

On the lips I used my Perrie lipstick from the Collection Little Mix range, and added a little bit of Rimmel's Dark night water- opps! on top. 

I'm definitely going to be sporting this look in the evening sometime, it was really nice having time to play about with my makeup, not having to do it in ten minutes flat before rushing into the car! 

What do you think of this look? Have you been getting creative with your makeup lately?
