Saturdays FOTN

Quick post about my makeup on Saturday.... I wanted something somewhat different, with a nice bold lip...

I love my MeMeMe bronzer! and I have only just started using the blush palette that I chose from Fashionista a few months back... I didnt use any falsies, so when Im not using them, I love to use Elizabeth Arden Lash primer and then coat my lashes with a good mascara. The lipstick is by Sleek, its a MATTE lipstick, which last forever! I had to touch up only once! Body shop eyeshadow, which is a white with green relfective particles as highlighter on the brow bone (it seriously looks nice, it just isnt picked up in the pic) ... before applying any eyeshadow, I used my all time face eyeshadow primer by Too Faced (Too Faced Shadow Insurance) then I used NYX Jumbo Pencil in an orange shade, then layered the bronze Barry M pigment over it... 

If you have any particular questions regarding this look please feel free to message me :)

GARNIER BB CREAM (MEDIUM)

MY 'IM IN A RUSH MAKEUP ROUTINE' ...

Hey ladies... I thought I would blog about what I wear when I'm in a rush, and dont really want to wear too much makeup routine... this is great for the summer too! 

Now I just wanna add also, that I stopped wearing too much makeup, especially Foundation on a daily basis, simply because I felt my skin was begging for it, and quite frankly I prefer to sleep than to wake up early to have time to do my makeup before going to work ... but I do find that when I want to wear a bit of makeup, these products are my go to products (mainly for work purposes, cus when its time to go glam up, i go all out!) ....

bueno mujeres, aqui les dejo las pics... and a brief description...

FASHIONISTA - Flawless Primer
GARNIER - Miracle Skin Perfector (BB Cream, in MEDIUM)
L'OREAL - Telescopic Mascara in Black
ELIZABETH ARDEN - Lash Optimiser
NYX - Eyeshadow Base in NUDE
NYX - Lipgloss
BARBARA DALY - eyeshadow pen in 'CALICO'

BEFORE

AFTER

Its not a major difference, BUT! its a more 'flawless' outcome... my skin looks more even, my eyes look brighter... the point to this look is that your not supposed to look like you have shit loads of makeup on, and its supposed to take you about 10mins maximum to apply...

The products that I have used are all FABULOUSSSSS and I would highly recommend them... you do not need to use all the products, if unlike me you have better skin, then skip the primer, and just use the BB cream, also you do not need to use the Lash Optimiser if you have pretty nice loooong lashes (mine are not that short, but they are kinda weird so the optimiser helps loads!) ...

you can purchase most of these products online, Boots, or Superdrug... I purchased the Elizabeth Arden Lash Optimiser from VERY.co.uk ....

i hope you found this helpful in some way or another, any questions feel free to leave a comment :)

Enjoy the rest of your Easter weekend...

BRIDAL MAKEUP 24/03/12

 BRIDAL MAKEUP

On Saturday I had the honour of doing my friends hair and makeup for her wedding, I also did the mother of the brides hair and makeup... below are a few pics...

FashionistA Fashion Secret Flawless Primer and Fashion Secret Mattifying Primer

On Friday I went into Superdrug and although initially I went in just to get a few toiletries... inevitably... I ended up in the makeup section... I cant help it!!! I needed a primer, and FashionistA just so happened to have a special offer of half price! soooo I got both primers for £5.00 each... happy days!!!

On Saturday I had the opportunity to use my primers, and boi was I impressed!!! .... I used both of them... The Flawless Primer on my cheeks where I have my acne scars, and the Mattifying Primer on my T-Zone... they both felt amazing on the skin, not greasy, and actually left my skin feeling really soft! My makeup lasted all night, and I didnt need to re-touch AT ALL! ... As you can see, even with flash, my face didnt look 'grey' and without flash my makeup still looked great... so they are most definately going into my kit!!

I am super impressed and think that they are worth paying the full price of £10.00 each once the current promotion ends.

As for the eyeshadows, I really liked them, they blended nicely, and looked great. I always use a primer, so the eyeshadow lasted all night.



Heres a few pics of the final look:

MIDNIGHT BLUE - Outer 'V' and under the lower lashes
