200th Post & FOTD

Hey Everyone!

I'm back! For those of you who don't know- I was in Africa for just over two weeks and it was amazing. I feel like I have been away for ages though and I'm totally out of the loop. 

But I have returned to quite an important milestone- my 200th post! Fist pump fist pump :) I'd just like to say a big thank you to everyone who has commented and tweeted and supported me!

Cheesiness over: onto the post. This is my current FOTD. I have switched up products quite a bit lately- so thought you might like to have a look at what I'm wearing- I know I love these kinds of posts on other blogs.

FOTD: Purple/Grey Smokey Eye & Rose Lips

I'm posting everyday at 6.00pm this week: let me know in the comments if you would like me to post at set times like this more often :)


Hey Everyone!

When the stress of studying hits, one of the most enjoyable parts of the day becomes doing my makeup (is that sad?) This is one of my favourite makeup looks at the minute: a subtle smokey eye and muted pink lips.

What I'm wearing:
Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation
Bourjois Rose D'Or Blush
MUA Undressed Eyeshadow Palette
No7 Amazing Eyes Liquid Liner
L'Oreal Telescopic Waterproof Mascara
MAC Plumful Lipstick
MUA Shade 9 Lipstick

This look is pretty simple but I think its really nice and is the beginnings of my winter makeup turning into spring. 

What kind of makeup look have you been wearing lately?

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?
