FOTD | Brown Smokey Eye and Bright Red Lip

Today's face is an up scaled version of my everyday make up; something more suited to night or a special event. Although I usually stick to the prominent eyes or prominent lips rule, its always good to mix things up and experiment and I actually am pleasantly surprised with how the smokey eyes and bright lip work in harmony with each other.

Hehe I always think closed-eye pictures look really funny as if I've taken this while sleeping- but I assure you I was in fact just showing my smokey eye!

What I'm wearing:

Bourjois Flower Perfection Foundation in Shade 52

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in Light

Avon Translucent Powder

Bourjois Little Round Pot Blush in Rose D'Or

MUA Eye Shadow Trio in Pink Sorbet (used as highlighter)

Max Factor Bronzing Powder in Shade 01 Golden

Clinique Cream Shaper for Eyes Shade 01

MUA Heaven & Earth Eye Shadow Palette

L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

No7 Amazing Eyes Liquid Liner

Vaseline Lip Balm Original

MUA Lipstick in Shade 13

Pheww that was a lot of make up! Do you like this FOTD? Have you tried any of these products?

FOTD | Minimalist and Liquid Liner

Hey Everyone!

I thought I would start a little series of FOTD posts as I have been experimenting A LOT lately and they're nice and easy and quick to do! I don't actually switch my make up around that much so if my FOTDs start getting repetitive I'll stop. But anyway, here is my minimalist face with the main focal point being the liquid liner. 

What I'm wearing:

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector All-In-One BB Cream- read my thought here

Bourjois Little Pot Blush in Rose D'Or- reviewed here

L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara

No7 Amazing Eyes Liquid Liner- reviewed here 

So since I was having quite a good skin day, I decided to go really natural and I actually liked it very much! 

I've not been doing a lot lately- I'm just about to stop school for summer (yay!) and I'm up to date with Pretty Little Liars (yep, julz has struck again- watching multiple seasons in a matter of weeks) and I'm back to watching YouTube videos and Friends. I'm planning on spending my day packing (Barcelona soo soon!) and doing other productive things! 

Review | Bourjois Little Round Pot Blush Shade 34 Rose D'Or

Hi Everyone :)

Hope you're all having a good day! I've only got three exams left and this is my last few days of intense study-argh! Anyway, onto the review of Bourjois Little Round Pot Blush Shade 34 Rose D'Or:

Price: £5.49 from Boots (£2 off deal on at the moment). I got mine in the 2 for £13 deal in Superdrug a while ago.

Claims: "The baked texture transforms when applied to the skin into an ultra-fine pressed powder, which is easy to apply and blends impeccably. One stroke of the brush reveals the irresistible aroma of the rose scented powder."

Packaging: I love the packaging. It is very cute, girly and compact yet holds a lot. There is also little mirror and angled brush inside the pot so you can touch up your make up throughout the day. 

Application: I apply this with an ordinary powder brush instead of the brush supplied as I think it turns out too severe with that. The blush is so pigmented that it only needs one or two dusts on the cheeks.

Results: A gorgeous bright yet warm pink. The blush is easily buildable, so you can create a faint glow or a dramatic flush easily. I prefer a natural tint for everyday use. 

Fun Fact: This blusher has been around for almost 150 years! Who knew people even wore blusher then?

Rating: 8/10 - This blusher has become my go-to; I love it!.

So that's my thoughts on Bourjois Little Round Pot Blush Shade 34 Rose D'Or. Do you own any Little Round Pot Blushes?
