This Week - The Make up #13

How is it already November? It seems like the weeks left of this year are quickly fading and I'm running out of time to get everything done that I want.

To help combat the lack of time this week, I've picked products that work really quickly and will hopefully help to have more times in the morning.

To get a quick base I'm reaching for my new bottle of Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation, I know that this is is such a classic foundation now that will make me look like I've had more sleep then I'm getting at the moment. Coupled with that, to tackle dark circles, Benefits Fake Up concealer as its really quick to swipe on and blend in. To add some colour to the cheeks is an old favourite, Benefit's Coralista for a bit of a fresh, outdoor glow.

Onto eyes and I'm still reaching for Maybellines Colour Tattoo 24Hr in Metalic Pomegranate, blended into the crease and then winged out as its subtle but lovely. A slick of liner from Collection to add a bit of definition. Lashes courtesy of Rimmel's Scandaleyes Retro Glam, another repurchase but one that I adore for full, fanned out lashes. Not pictured because it's really grubby is my very well used Browzing from Benefit.

So that's it for this week, quick products to hoplefully make life a bit easier and quicker this week. Oh and a bonus pictures of my Photographer's Assistant!

This Week - The Make Up #12

Errr,,,,hi,,,,, remember me?! I'm not going to say sorry for not blogging, I've needed the time to sort a lot of stuff out and decide if I want to be blogging still, and I really do, just need to not put the pressure on myself to blog regularly.

I've had a massive sort out of my make up and had a real clear out which has uncovered some great forgotten favourites as well as some bits that I kinda forgot that I had bought!

For bases this week, my skin needs a little bit of coverage so I've picked up Rimmel's new Lasting Finish in Ivory. To add a bit of colour I've reached for Benefit's Hervana as its gorgeously light and just caught in the wind glowy.

On the eyes it's all about liner and smoked out colour, so using up the liner from Company and Maybelline's Metallic Pomegranite in the crease and corner. Lashes are from Origins, I've never tried their make up but I do adore their skin care.

I'm trying to use lip colours this Autumn so in a bid to get the 'Kylie Jenner' lip I've picked out Kate Moss for Rimmel in 03 and a nude gloss from Maybelline. If the lips stay this colour then I will be amazed as I normally forget.

Over all, not many changes , but its nice to pick out some old bits as well as some new bits. Have you tried any of these? What have you picked this week? xx

This Week - The Make Up #11

Hello strangers, September hasn't been a good month for blogging but I'm kicking back off with another weekly make up pick.

This week I've picked bits which work with the up and down weather, products that stay in place, add a bit of sun kissed glow as well as being easy to throw on when its dark now in the morning.

For face I've picked Rimmel Stay Matte foundation. I have this little mini to use up and its perfect as it stays in place on the skin all day without being cakey. To warm it up I picked Dallas from Benefit to add some colour without being overly bronzed. On the cheeks I've got the Rimmel Stay Blushed in Pop of Pink.

On the eyes I've picked Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Permenant Taupe to wear on its own or layered under the colours on the Sephora Palette. Liner is the Rimmel Scandaleyes Liner in Bronze. I forgot to take a picture of mascara but I picked Maybelline The Rocket Waterproof.

I've added in the lip product from Benefit, I've had Coralista for ages but always forget about it, if I remember to use it them I will be impressed!

Overall lots of high street picks this week, its nice to pick through more available pieces for every day use and save the more expensive for special occasions for once.

Which of these bits have you used? xx

Makeup - This Week #7

Another week, another round of make up. Having finished up a couple of bits last week, it is time to dip back into the stash & pull out some oldies!

This week I'm going for natural make up, I haven't got time for a lot of faff, plus the weather is getting warmer so I don't want stuff that will slide off my face!

Makeup - This Week #1

Back for the New Year, I'm changing things up with the photography on here, no idea what you think but I quite like how they're turning out, just need to work on the focus of things.

I've changed the name of the series because I felt like it, that’s all really :) Onto this week!

Back to school tomorrow, it’s been nice to be off school; however I am looking forward to getting back and seeing my lovely children again. I also need to get back into wearing make up again, I've worn next to nothing for the past two weeks and it’s been great, however I don't want to scare the children!
