FOTD- Up The Amp

Hello!

My posting is totally sporadic at the moment, and I apologise. 

Thought I would do a quick face of the day as these are always pretty simple :)

I've been wearing this look alot recently as it's so quick and easy to do, but the lipstick gives it a nice pop of colour.

Face:

MAC Studio Sculpt NC15 mixed with Illamasqua Skin Base 02

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer 01

Rimmel Blush in Dusky Rose

Eyes:

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze

Bourjois Coup de Theatre 2 in 1 mascara

Benefit Brow Zings Light

Lips:

MAC Up The Amp

I was given Up The Amp as a late Christmas present and I absolutely love it! Similar to Heroine, but not quite as intense, so an easy one to wear if you're trying to get into purples, and the formula is beautiful! 

Thanks for reading :)

FOTD- Shopping My Stash

Hello! 

Thought I'd do a quick FOTD- this was the makeup I wore the other day to meet a friend in town, browse round some shops and have a catch up :)

 I look totally miserable in the last one, but it was the only one I managed to take that actually showed my eyeshadow! I used a few things that were in my 'Shopping my Stash' post, and I've really been enjoying them, especially the Revlon eyeshadows.

Eyes:

Revlon Colorstay quad in Neutral Khakis

Collection 2000 Extreme 24 hour felt tip liner

Benefit They're Real!  & Bourjois Coup de Theatre

Face:

MAC Studio Sculpt NC15

Collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer 01 

MAC Melba

Lips:

Ben Nye LSP 2 Fashion Lip Colour Palette - Shy apricot

So that was my face!  A bit more effort than I usually make for the daytime, makeup-wise, but I just had the urge to pile on the makeup that day :) 

Thanks for reading!

P.S I took one of the earrings out after these pictures, and wore a plain stud in the other ear, not sure I can pull off wearing both of them!

P.P.S Please ignore my eyebrows! I am growing them out :)

Wednesday Wants #6

Hey guys!

I've got another Wednesday Wants for you today :)

 

First up, this lovely spotty dress. I've already got about four blue, polka dot dresses, but a girl can never have too many! I think the shape of this dress, and the sleeves, look really lovely. This is £36 from Topshop.

I'm also loving this bright floral dress, £48, from Topshop again.

I've heard alot about a website called Modcloth.com on blogs recently. I had a little peek last night, and fell in love with most of the jewelry! These are my personal faves, the Three's Yum-pany earring set is $19.99, which converts to about £13 I believe! The gingerbread men are super dooper cute :)

Next up is a recent release from Bourjois. The Flower Perfection Primer claims to give an airbrushed look, hiding flaws, blemishes and fine lines. This is a spongy, mousse like texture, similar to the LOreal Paris Studio Secrets Primer. I've not tried either of these primers, (just had a feel of the testers!), but I'm really interested to see if they're as good as they sound. The Bourjois Primer is £10.99 from Boots.

Lastly, the Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment.I'm not sure whether I actually believe that this would help my hair to grow, but I think it's worth a shot! It's got some rave reviews on the Boots website, and lots of people say it has really improved the quality of their hair, which is always good! I'm off to the hairdressers soon to become a ginger (yay!), and I know they're going to have to cut off loads of dead ends, so I might try this after and see if I can get my long hair back! 

This is £7.99 for 200ml, from Boots.

Does anyone have any wishlists? Or has any tried any of these products? Feel free to leave links :)

Thanks for reading, hope everyone is well!

wednesday Wants #4

Hey guys :)

another Wednesday wishlist for you today! This time it's all makeup..

Pic from Boots.com

First up, this gorgeous little number from No7! Now, the picture doesn't really do it justice, this lipstick is the brightest pink I have ever seen! It's such a creamy formula as well, really moisturising on the lips.

The No7 Vital Brights lipstick in Blossoming Pink is £10 from Boots stores and online.

I am seriously considering breaking my spending ban for this, it is limited edition after all! One negative point I have though, is I haaate the white packaging! On the other pieces in the range, there's a lovely bright floral design which really stands out against the white, I wish they had put it on the lipstick case!

Next is this lovely little Bourjois Round Pot Light eyeshadow. I've always loved the look of the Bourjois little round pots, but not being much of an eyeshadow wearer, I've never actually gone so far as to buy one. These 'Light' eyeshadows are really beautiful. There's a few more in the range, but for some reason this blue one really stands out to me. It looks quite pigmented, but once blended out, it's a lovely iridescent blue/silver colour which would work great as an under eyebrow, or inner eye highlight. Apparently, you can also use these wet to intesify the look! I can't find these on the Boots website, but I've seen these instore for around £7.

Lastly, this amazing Tinkerbell palette by Pixi. This includes 5 baked eyeshadows, five lip colours, a 3 part blusher, mirror and brushes. I'll be totally honest though, once again I am sold because of the packaging! How adorable would this look in your room?! This is £32 with free delivery from asos.com.

So there we have it, this weeks lust list! 

Anyone else got any wishlists? Or have any of these products?

Thanks for reading, hope you are all well :)
