FOTD!

So I’ve never done one of these posts before (face of the day), so here goes. I hope y’all like it! I was just out running some errands and done this quick makeup look. (Please click on the images for better quality.)

It’s a neutral eyes, nude-ish lip and rosy cheeks look, nothing special but I thought I would share anyway. Sorry about the hair, slick back isn’t my greatest look but when I can’t be bothered and don’t care then this is the result.

Products used:

MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation in NC42
MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC42
Bourjois Bronzing Powder in 52 (used this to contour a tad…this product smell so damn good!!)
NYX powder blush in Mocha
MUA Palette in Heaven & Earth
L’oreal Extra Volume Mascara in Black
17 Mirror Shine Lip Stick in Belle

This lip stick is lovely. It is sooo moisturising, the colour pay off is relatively sheer for a ‘lip stick’ but you can definitely build it up to make it more pigmented.

I bought this on my trip to America but they now have an online store for the UK, very pigmented blush.

Now this little gem, I have to admit, I don’t use it as often as I should but for the price and the pay off it was worth my money. I used two colours which are on the bottom row, second and fifth colours in from the left.

See ya later Aligators =) x

Book Corner!

Hello my shining stars! A non-beauty related post today, I thought I would share a recent book I enjoyed.

A friend and I were in Waterstones having a look browse around because we both wanted a new book to read (and we just generally love looking at books hours on end). We came across ‘Sanctus’ by Simon Tyone. It was a completely random choice, no thought, just impulse; we read the blurb and it had us sold. We decided that we would both read it and then discuss it at the end. We both loved it and cannot wait for the second one.

It was a brilliant read. A lot of characters to get to know, but it give’s you an insight to each characters reasoning and purpose throughout the story. It’s based on a fictional city; I would say it’s a bit like the Da Vinci code in that it talks about the church and conspiracies, but completely fake. Although it does make you think. It’s an easy read and I would definitely recommend it if you’re into a thrillers.

The second book is coming out on the 12th April, I am definitely going to purchasing it to see what happens next.

What recent books have you read? What would you recommend to read? =) x

Polish Post! #2

Howdy Doody Tutti Fruities! (don’t ask me why…I thought it sounded cool) Anyway, just thought I would share my change in nail polish.

I’m wearing Piccadilly Circus by Nails Inc. I got this polish with a Glamour magazine (always like a freebie!), it’s usually £11 for 10ml, but I got it for £2.

I love the colour, it’s a nice simple raspberry, can’t really go wrong. I find that this is one of my most reached for polishes; the finish is glossy and it lasts. =) x
