September Favourites.
Hello.
This months favourites are not so much things I bought as things I rediscovered. I have been packing things up for uni and these, among other things, made the cut for my 'taking-but-not-packed-away' stash.

ELF Baked Blush Review & Swatches.
Hello!
A little while ago I ordered some things from ELF, nearly completely blushes. I'm not called Blush or Nothing for no reason! In my mini ELF haul I ordered this baked blush which I thought would be a nice highlight. It is.

FOTD on a Budget.
Hello there!
I have an FOTD for you today and, although nearly everything I own is budget, this one is especially budget friendly.
I really liked this look, warm toned metallic browns on my eyes make me happy and I feel like the lips and cheeks complemented the eyes without overpowering it. Obviously the brows were nice and bold, technically they are too dark for my face but I like them. I feel as though a bold brow lets me get away with bolder eyes.
As for the eyes, I layered the top right MUA eyeshadow over the Colour Tattoo and blended it all out, with a couple of the darker shades in the crease (lightly!), along the lash line and under the eye. I also hit the inner corner with the shiniest shade in the palette, the 3rd on the left on the bottom row. Catchy name.
What do you think of this look? Do you want to see more FOTD's?

Shocking picture. I do apologise.
Max factor 3 in 1 foundation - Light Ivory 40 (review here)
Collection Lasting Perfection concealer - Fair 1
ELF Tone Correcting Powder - Cool
Natural Collection Blush - Sweet Cheeks
ELF Blush (as highlight) - Gotta Glow
Maybelline Colour Tattoo - Metallic Pomegranate
MUA eyeshadow palette - Heaven & Earth
Revlon Matte Eyeshadow - Vintage Lace
Seventeen Doll'd up Mascara - Black (review here)
MUA eyeshadow (brows) - Shade 19
MUA Power Pout - Rendezvous
The most expensive thing here is the foundation at around £12 but most drugstore foundations are pricey and I am very much in love with it.

May Favourites.
Hello!
I cannot believe it is the end of May. Not only us the year flying by at hyper-speed, but this means my exams, the culmination of fourteen years of education, are over in 11 days. I am more than a little terrified, but in the mean time I will ramble about my favourite beauty things.

Makeup of the Moment #002
Hello :)
I've been wearing less makeup recently so haven't looked interesting enough to show you all, but I do wear a full face to work so that is what I have for you today. The sun was ACTUALLY shining while I did my makeup but hid away again when I took photos - probably for the best as it was shining straight in my window and I would have had window frame shaped shadows on my face.
It's not particularly fancy, I mainly focus on something that isn't going to fade badly so pretty simple, with an emphasis on my skin (which is looking pretty good at the moment, touch wood).
The foundation is a tad too dark for my skin but does last all day, save for some inevitable fade around my nose which seems to be where foundation goes to die.
This is a pretty simple and natural look that isn't over the top which is not especially interesting blogging but is however more appropriate for my job.

When I lay it all out it looks like less than I thought - it feels like I put more on!
Bourjois 123 Perfect foundation - I'm shade 51
Collection Lasting Perfection concealer - the lightest shade
Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder - again, the lightest shade
MUA Bronzed Perfection as contour and blended around my eyes
ELF Studio Blush in Tickled Pink
Natural Collection blush in Peach Melba - kind of between my contour and the ELF blush
No7 Highlighter - it was from a Spring collection last year (?)
MUA eye primer
Sleek Au Naturel palette (Taupe, Cappucino, Nougat & Regal on the eyes and Bark for brows - ironic after my ode to MUA shade 19 on Monday)
L'oreal Volume Million Lashes mascara
Soap & Glory SuperCat pen liner
Natural light - and messy background!
Flash and paleface - but at least matchy matchy with my neck.
