FOTD | Writers block





 Today I just needed to take a break from essay writing, and just put some makeup on to make myself feel better and more 'done up'. you know when you hit a block and physically can't think of anything else to write? yep that's me at the moment!
I thought i'de step away from my sleek blush in flushed which I have worn all winter and pick out a coral blush, which is the bourjois cream blush in '02 healthy glow' it's just gives your skin that little fit of extra glow and makes you look more awake... and i'm not quite sure why I decided to put on red lipstick, I had a moment of feeling fabulous and thought i'd go all out. This is really just my everyday makeup with a few extra touches. I'm going to be so happy when the next couple of weeks are over with and all of my deadlines are out the window!

Nivea express hydration primer, Nars sheer glow foundation, Bobbi brown corrector, Collection lasting perfection concealer, Soap and glory one heck of a blot, Sleek face form kit in light, Bourjois cream blush 02 healthy glow, Mac charcoal brown eyeshadow, TheBalm Nude'tude palette, Maybelline eyestudio gel eyeliner, L'oreal miss manga mascara, Bourjois colourboost lipstick in red sunrise.

FOTD | Everyday / University





When I'm just going to college and not doing anything interesting I stick to the same makeup on an everyday basis, as it's fuss free and I know it'll look decent in the end. Lets face it, I'm a full coverage kind of girl... I don't like anything sheer because i'm not that brave, at the moment I'm using the Laura Mercier silk creme foundation which is a dream on my skin, it doesn't feel heavy and a little goes a really long way, it's highly pigmented so you don't need a lot to do your whole face and get a decent coverage, and of course if I have any blemishes I'll cover them up with the collection lasting perfection concealer, which I also use under my eyes along with the Bobbi Brown corrector. A little bit of bronzer and highlight also helps my face look more alive and not so flat after I've powered everything down.
Everyday I just use one eyeshadow quad, my mac palette because it has my perfect eyebrow shade with doubles up as a crease colour (Charcoal brown) two all over the lid colours (All that glitters, Woodwinked) and a highlight (Shroom). Finally some winged out eyeliner and some mascara and I'm done, sometime's I'll add a lipstick like the bourjois shine edition as it's comfortable and easy to wear.
