My every day makeup

Finally my camera and laptop have actually decided to work! I photographed these pictures last week and for the life of me could not get them onto my computer.

I've recently changed a lot of my makeup products and bought loads more new bits to play around with and I must say they (together) are amazing! After having such bad dry skin I thought I would test a new foundation and then a new primer.. and new brushes.. and I may as well try a new bronzer.. right?

Foundation:


Personally I've never really been a fan of Maybelline products but seen as though I worked in boots I could see and work with all the makeup products. While I was with a customer this Fit me foundation caught my eye; it was great for my dry skin and gave a really flawless glowy finish, perfect. I ran out of my favourite primer so I decided to have a play around and find one, this grabbed my attention and it is ahhhhmazing! After buying these and a few more bits I had enough points on my advantage card to buy 2 Real Techniques brushes and I honestly will never use anything else!

Cheeks:



This is everything I use on my face and I know it looks a lot but concealer, blusher, bronzer and highlighter isn't a lot.. is it? I got this KIKO concealer wheel when I was in Rome and I love it! Its a great little compact that has 2 shades of skin coloured concealer and then also the green and purple! Just incase I'm on the go and a little friend appears on my face! I also discovered this Bourjois cream bronzer as I'd heard it was a Chanel dupe! It blends so nicely and is such a change from regular powered bronzer. This MUA highlighter is my absolute favourite- for £3 you cant go wrong. 

I decided to splurge a few months ago and got this beautiful Urban Decay Naked flushed palette. Its so pigmented and goes a long way. Its great if I'm travelling too because its 3 products in one!

Eyes:



Eyes is my favourite thing to do makeup wise as there are some really pretty products you can find! For my eyebrows I use Benefits brow-zings, from this I can choose to have a subtle every day brow or go full out for a dark thick shape for more glam makeup! I was kindly sent this mascara and its such a good dupe of the They're Real mascara by Benefit, the brush is short and spikey and it lasts all day. I recently fell in love with Smashbox makeup as there's a new stand in a boots near me. This cream eyeshaddow is absolutely gorgeous and I'm obsessed with using it! Its a pinky silver colour and as a little goes a long way the hefty price tag is well worth it. For eye liner I use this too faced colourless eyeliner, you can dip it in any colour eyeshaddow and turn it into an eyeliner.. how brilliant!

Lips:


Again another amazing product from Smashbox! This lipstick in Primrose is such a gorgeous every day muted pink colour, its long lasting and really moisturising! 

Sorry for the bad picture but this is the outcome, my glowy every day makeup!

A little green box..

Okay so I think everyone knows what a little green box means.. TIFFANY & CO.

On my 18th birthday after already opening some little presents I started to get ready to go for a meal with my family at a local Italian restaurant. At the end of the night I got my cake.. although it wasn't the triple chocolate giant cupcake my mam made me. It was a Tiffany box cake, I was so confused until I turned around and in front of me was a little green box all tied up with ribbon. I was so surprised I didn't even want to open it because I knew how overwhelmed I would be. 

Finally after opening it I just fell in love, this really means something and will be a special piece of jewelry I will treasure forever. Its a small pendant on a short chain and sits roughly in the middle of your collar bones. I think its perfect and will be forever greatful for this amazing gift. 

So here it is!

Dress link brushes!

Yes again another brush post! I'm still yet to do any outfit look books or anything but they're coming!

 So my MAC eBay brushes are shredding ridiculous amounts and although I've had them 2 years they just aren't working with me anymore. I had originally wanted to buy the real techniques collection of brushes however they were a little pricey and I only really needed a stippling brush- everything else I could work with for the time being. However then I came across the Chinese wholesale site Dress Link. Everything on there is so cheap and affordable and they not only sell beauty accessories but clothes, shoes and even lingerie.




Just look how amazing the quality of these brushes are! They are so dense and extremely soft and they're like heaven compared to my last set of brushes. The set comes with 5 brushes, all kabuki/ stippling style but each tapered and shaped slightly different. I cant wait to get using these and show you all the looks I create. I highly recommend Dress Link, especially for beauty supplies!
