Wishlist #008

Hello and Happy Monday.

It's wishlist time again.

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.

Maybelline Dream Touch Blush Review.

Hello there!
I have recently been really into Maybelline and, among other things, picked up this cream blush. I have also been into my cream products and am a blush obsessive so it was going to be mine sooner or later.

Mint Polka NOTD

Hello!
I haven't posted any kind of interesting NOTD in I think literally months, so this was long overdue!

Maybelline Super Stay 7 Days 'Surreal'.

Hello!
I have a couple of these Maybelline Super Stay 7 Day nail polishes and when I was in Boots the other day, this one really caught my eye.

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.

 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.

 

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?

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.

Maybelline Colour Tattoo Review & Swatches - Permanent Taupe & Pink Gold

Hello :)
I have another review today, this time of Maybelline's Colour Tattoo 24 hour gel-cream eyeshadows in 65 Pink Gold and 40 Permanent Taupe. 

I bought these a couple of weeks ago and have been wearing them non-stop so I thought it was only fair to share them with you! I thus far only have two shades but love them and plan to get more - perhaps On and On Bronze or Eternal Gold. Or perhaps both. Let's be honest, probably both. 

I can't stop shopping! Makeup Haul & Swatches.

Well hello there!
I have a spending habit. I can't bloody stop shopping! It's all the tempting offers, they lure me in and before I know it I've dropped another £10 on makeup. But it's so pretty! I would like to stress that this was not bought in one go but over a few weeks. I am not that crazy.

Makeup of the Moment #005

Hello again, are you enjoying your bank holiday? The weather where I am is gorgeous! Too bad I am stuck inside revising...
I have another make-up-face for you today, what a delight! This was my 'work face' a couple of weeks ago.

FOTD: Everyday face

Greetings!
Today I thought I'd show you my face. Sorry about that.

This is my everyday makeup of the moment (I change it fairly regularly) and I am really liking it. I feel like it works with my hair colour and suits the weather. I am having to go quite heavy on foundation and concealer and the like because I am having a bad skin phase that I think has something to do with the changing weather *shakes fist*. 

Oh look, it's me! Me and my beautiful earrings...

- Boots 17 Miracle Matte foundation
- Collection 2000 Stay Perfect concealer
- Maybelline Dream Matte pressed powder (My perfect powder, which they've discontinued. Life.)
- Boots 17 blush in Plum Puff
- Soap&Glory Archery brow tint and pencil in Brownie Points
- MUA pro eye primer
- Sleek Paraguaya palette shades Bittersweet, Blush, Sandstone and Stone
- Soap&Glory Supercat pen eyeliner
- Collection 2000 Skylash mascara

This was taken when I got home and I forgot to reapply lip products (bad Sylvie) but I would only have been wearing a balm. A Christmassy ginger one, to be precise, but the point is it barely shows up anyway.

So, that is my face. I like this look because I do love a good eyeliner flick but this softens that whole look. I also use a more autumny coloured blush which doesn't really work in the summer but does look good with this hair.

As I have quite a lot of makeup, and get bored fairly quickly, I am sure you will be seeing another 'Everyday Face' soon enough. 

What makeup are you wearing now Autumn has set in?
Cheery-Bye!
