Back to school make-up

Hey Everyone,

School has now officially started for most people, unless you start back on Monday of course, But it started on Friday for me and I thought what better to post than a back to school make-up look of what I wore.

Eye make-up:
- Mac eyeshadow in the colour gleam
- Collection 2000 supersize mascara in black
- Eye brow pencil in light brown

Face make-up:

- Natural collection foundation in porcelain (I only used a small amount of this as been on holiday recently and don't need much at all)

- Natural collection concealer (for under eyes mainly and my slightly burnt nose :( )

- No7 pressed powder

- No7 Bronzer (to make my face look more naturally tanned as my chest and neck is well tanned)

- Rimmel match perfection blush (blended out to give a slight hint of pink, nothing to strong)

Brushes: 

- Real techniques expert face brush (for foundation)

- Simple eye shadow applicator

- QVS powder brush

- QVS retractable brush (Used for blusher and bronzer)

For this make-up look I left my lips looking completely natural just using lip balm through out the day to keep them moisturised. I hope you like this look and give you any tips or ideas to re-create your own similar make-up. If you do re-create this and try anything similar please tweet me the picture or instagram it and tag me in it, would love to see them. 

Stay tuned for the next post. Much love to everyone xxx

Face Wash Routine

Hey Hey,

As for today I thought I would share my face wash routine for anyone that is interested, including the products I use like make-up remover and moisturiser. I find it interesting to see what other people use and get hint and tips, its great to share your own preferences so that's exactly what I'm doing.

This is my usual routine at night before I go to bed, if I'm having a lazy day and not wearing any make-up during the day then I would also do this in the morning too.

Start by taking off all my make-up using Garnier eye make-up remover with some cotton wool. It is really nice on the skin, great for all skin types, even those with sensitive skin and cleanses the face really well to start.

Then I use the simple triple action face wash, I showed this in my 5 monthly favourites, I recommend this product a lot, I find it really cleanses the skin well and gets rid of any dirt that's left, leaving your face feeling very refreshed afterwards and has also helped to keep spots and blemishes down.

After then drying my face I like to moisturise using Nivea pure and natural day cream, with this cream a little bit goes a long way so you wont be needing a lot, I rub this into my whole face starting from the centre and working my way out. Honestly I have heard people say they do not like this cream, I however like it very much, I think it is totally your preference but I would definitely give this one a go. It really helps to keep my skin looking and feeling very soft and healthy.It has a great scent leaving you feel very fresh.

Finally then using the Witch blemish stick, also shown in in my 5 monthly favourites, I rub this over the areas where I have any blemishes or can feel them appearing, it helps to dry them up quickly and leave you with great skin. It works really fast in about 4 days and leaves you with no marks after.

Hopefully you find this interesting and may even try some of these products yourself. Stay tuned for more very soon. xxx
