A bit of everyday make up

Hi ! That's me ^
I must admit I took this photo some time ago, but I thought I'd use it as it shows my everyday make up. I usually stick to using the same products, as in the mornings I literally have 5-10 mins to 'put my face on' before it's heading off to nursery time. So I want to use products that I know will do the job!

So what have I got on?

Well to start with I use L'oreal Paris Nude Magique Eau De Teint, 110 Warm ivory foundation £9.99.
I use this mostly as it's so amazing at covering dark circles under my eyes, it goes on so smoothly and with a quick pat pat it blends in perfectly. Even though it's water based and fairly light weight coverage, I use it sparingly over the rest of my face using the Real Techniques expert face brush £9.99. I'm coming to the end of the 20 ml bottle now but it's lasted for ages. It's also SPF 18 which is great for over the summer.

If I have any spots or blemishes I want to cover, then I use the ever so popular Collection concealer in shade fair £4.19. Using a tiny dot I blend it out with my finger. This is amazing for spots, just can't find anything better than this.


So my base is done and at this point I usually think 'oo I better hurry up'. On to my eyes!

Eyeliner is a funny thing, I do love it when it's on but it annoys me sometimes as it can smudge and I have to start again! However I recently found a product which works just like a felt tip pen. Yes it's
Soap and Glorys 'Supercat liquid black eyeliner pen' £6.00. I found it easy to use and it dries quickly so no waiting around.

Mascara comes next and I have stuck to the same one for ages now. I have even bought another for when this one runs out! It's another Soap and Glory product. 'Thick and Fast Super Volume Mascara' in super jet black. I find it does exactly what it promises and at £10 it is very affordable. Soap and Glory products are often on 3 for 2 in Boots, which is great if you like the range. I think I got the mascara, eyeliner and blush last time.


Talking about blush...

Blush seems to last me ages and once I find one I love I just tend to stick with it until it's all gone. I use 'Elf Blush', in shy £2.50 with just a Dirty works blush brush (bought from boots some time ago) and sweep over my cheek bones and slightly along. Simple but such a lovely classic pinky colour.






Lips!
Mostly with lips I just use Vaseline if I'm not going anywhere in particular because it just lasts
for ages and I don't need to keep topping it up. I do love a splash off colour on my lips though so here I have used 'Model co Kitty'£12. It matches my blush beautifully in that it is a subtle pink but has a slight shimmer to it. It is really moisturising so it doesn't feel like it will dry my lips out.



Last but not forgotton, Eyebrows! I'm not really into eyebrow specific products and use matte eyeshadow instead. The Urban Decay Naked 2 palette £37 has a lovely brown shade called 'tease' which I use with the eyeshadow brush that comes with it. My eyebrows can be quite light over summer so it's perfect for filling them in a bit. I have just noticed in this picture I have used the Pistol shade just on the outside of my lids too!

Well that's it guys, I really do hope you like my make up and go check out some of what I have used as it is all so lovey but great for that everyday morning rush. Thank you so much for reading and watch this space for further posts.
