My Everyday Makeup

Hey!
I have been recently trying a lot of new makeup things so I thought I would share with you my new everyday makeup look. Its pretty L'Oreal heavy which is weird as before last month I have never really used anything from them.

So this is the look I have been wearing most days.

Base

• L'Oreal True Match Foundation ~ N1 Ivory
• Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer ~ 51 (To cover redness on my nose, chin and cheeks)
• L'Oreal Lumi Magique concealer ~ 1 Light (Under my eyes) 
• Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder ~ 001 Transparent

Eyes

• Max Factor Excess Shimmer ~ Bronze
• MAC Eye Shadow ~ Woodwinked
• L'Oreal Super Liner Superstar ~ Black
• Rimmel Scandaleyes Khol ~ Nude (I forgot to put it in the picture)
• L'Oreal False Lash Superstar Mascara ~ Black

• Rimmel Brow This Way ~ Medium Brown (I only used the powder part)
• L'Oreal Brow Artist Plumper ~ Light/Medium

Cheeks and Lips

• NYX Blush ~ Taupe (Mines looking a bit worse for wear but it's my favorite contour colour)
• Natural Collection Blush ~ Peach Melba
• MUA Shimmer Highlighter ~ Iridescent Gold
• Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet ~ 07 Nude-ist

That's it! I love wearing this look, it features some of my newest (and oldest) favorites. Let me know what you think.

Here is the look a few hours in after the lipstick had came off (I ate and didn't bring it with me so I had to remove it).

Until next time!

Byee!

The Weekend Makeup Bag

Hello,
Being away from uni I get very home sick so I like to go home every other weekend to see my family and friends. I always find it hard to decide which make up to take with me as I don't want suitcase full and I also don't want to miss anything. As I am heading home this weekend I thought I would share what I am taking.

First things first, foundation. I had the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation a while a go, I recently bought it again as I remember how much I loved it. It really is a cheap foundation perfect for everyday. I'm only taking this foundation as I have no plan to go on a night out or anywhere fancy so I wont need my MAC one but this will do if I change my mind! I wear this foundation in the colour 100 Ivory.

Of course I am taking my Rimmel Stay Matte powder in transparent and Collection Concealer in Fair. These are both staple, must have products for me and I don't know what I would do with out them!

I recently bought the NYX blush in taupe as I herd it was a good contour colour for fair skin. I haven't tried it properly yet but I will let you know how I get on with it!

For a highlighter I am bringing my mini Benefit High Beam*. I got this in the 'Do the Bright Thing' set. I'm still a little bit undecided on this but I guess it does the job.

For eyes I decided to keep it simple with my Urban Decay Naked Basics palette*. I have fallen in love with this pallet, using it nearly everyday and its so small its perfect for travel! It only has 6 shades but allows you to create a variety of looks from day to night!

My favourite pencil eye liners are the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Kohl pencils. I'm taking mine in Nude for the day and Black in case I fancy being a bit more dramatic!

Mascara has to be Soap & Glory's Thick & Fast*. I had this mascara before and it never fails to disappoint. One layer gives subtle lashes with great definition but it can be built up to look more and more dramatic.

Recently filling in my eyebrows has become a must. I usually use an eye shadow (I always usually hate pencils) but this one from Gallery Colours in Blondie works really well for me.

Last but not least lipstick! I chose two colours, MUA Matte lipstick in Wild Berry and Revlon Matte lipstick in Real Red. 

I'm pretty chuffed with how I have managed to narrow it down to just this but I am worried I'm missing something (I always forget something).

Thanks for reading!
