FOTD | A day of doing nothing

The bad blogger award goes to me, I completely forgot to add the maybelline lasting drama eyestudio gel eyeliner into the picture and it's pretty much one of the main parts of my makeup look?! sigh... nevermind! Today I used the maybelline babyskin instant pore eraser, now you see i'm a little bit torn as to if I actually like this or not, it does do a good job of concealing pores yet it's a bit, slippery? on my skin at least because it's silicone based. I then went for my everyday makeup base with is the Nars sheer glow foundation, with a bit of the bobbi brown corrector underneath my eyes to counteract against my dark circles and the collection lasting perfection concealer to help hide my nasty circles that little bit more. I have quite an oily t-zone so I powdered my face down slightly with the soap and glory one heck of a blot pressed powder which is absolutely beautiful, it's non cakey and doesn't feel heavy on my skin, and so that my face doesn't look so flat I contoured slightly heavier than I normally would with the sleek face form kit in 'light' and used the highlight shade too. I just filled in my eyebrows as I normally would using my mac charcoal brown eyeshadow, I'm posting an eyebrow tutorial tomorrow so if you'd like to know how I do them then be sure to check back again tomorrow. A swipe of mac charcoal brown all over the lid was plenty as it looks beautiful on it's own, my usual winged eyeliner and some of the l'oreal miss manga mascara which i'm not completely sold by, i've got my eye on the new maybelline falsies big eyes mascara so that'll be my next mascara purchase! Finally I put on some of my new favourite lip product which is the Korres lip butter in jasmine which is a lightly pink tinted lip balm... it looks amazing, smells amazing and I can't wait to buy more shades. So all I did today was sit at home, taking blog photos and writing up some posts... I read a bit of a book so today has been an all around success as i've got so many new posts lined up for you guys!

What's your staple everyday product? 

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!

Christmas day makeup look | Video

I'm free from education for two weeks now that it's christmas break, hurrah! so to start the holidays off I thought I'd do a christmas makeup look, I have some other exciting videos planned for the next couple of weeks now that I actually have some free time! This is the makeup i'm planning on wearing on christmas day, I think it's quite festive and not over the top or offensive. I would do a christmas OOTD but i'll be honest, I lounge around in Pj's eating food all day so unless you want to see what pyjamas I'm wearing on christmas day it'll be a bit pointless... hope you enjoy the video!

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.
