My Current Eveyday Make Up

If you had asked me 6 months ago what my everyday make up routine was I would have found it really hard to pick out the products. Reading so many blog posts and watching you tube videos I would always run out and buy the latest hyped up super products that I obviously needed in my life.

As you may or may not be aware since starting my current job my blog has been slightly neglected and hasn't had as much as my time as it deserves, this also means I haven’t had as much time to read other peoples.

As rubbish as I have been this has actually had a positive effect on my bank account and has made me realise which products I really love and keep going back to every day.

To start I prime with the Bourjois Happy Light primer, this is a product I'm really glad I jumped on the bandwagon for. I first purchased DrJart BB cream for my holiday last year as I wanted something lighter with a good spf, since purchasing this I've not looked back. I love how my skin can still breathe yet have a nice dewy finish. I apply this with my trusty buffing brush.

I'm still loving the Collection lasting perfection concealer, even though I hate the way the writing rubs off the packaging I will still continue to repurchase this. To finish my face I will apply the Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder in translucent with my Real Techniques big Duo Fibre Race brush. I then like to set my make up with the Caudalie Beauty Elixir.

I like to keep my eyes simple so usually no eye shadow, the L'oreal Super Liner in black, the Bare Minerals waterproof eyeliner for my waterline and the Benefit Bad Gal mascara for my lashes. Job done.

Cheeks is the beautiful Nars blush in Deep Throat, despite the outrageous name the product itself is beautifully subtle but easily buildable.

And last but not least for my lips I use Mac Hue.

So there we go, my current everyday face. If you do know any products that I am missing in my life please leave your recommendations in the comments!

bareMinerals: Scene Stealer

Scene Stealer

I'm a newbie when it comes to bareMinerals and it was thanks to the power of Twitter that I found out Bare Minerals were having a flash sale, as this sale fell on payday I felt it was only right for me to go and have a nosey on their website.

I was very restrained but one click led to another and before I knew it Scene Stealer was in my basket and I was entering my digits, you know how it is.

bareMinerals Scene Stealer Collection contains:

♥Prime Time Primer Shadow in Pink Sugar
♥Round the Clock Waterproof Eyeliner in 1AM
♥Pretty Amazing Lipcolor in Pizzazz
♥Instant Eye Makeup Remover

I am SO impressed with these products, I’d read a couple of bare minerals reviews before and I’m now kicking myself that I didn’t try any of these products earlier.

The Prime Time Primer does everything you want an eye shadow primer to do. It can either be used by itself or as a base for your eye shadows and it does a fabulous job of keeping my eye shadow in place all day. It is quite glittery but I like that.

Round the Clock Waterproof Eyeliner is a jet black liner with a hit of silver shimmer. It glides along my waterline effortlessly and doesn’t budge. I think the shimmer adds that extra bit of glamour and is perfect for a night out.

I use the Instant Eye Makeup Remover in the evening before cleansing as it takes of every scrap of makeup, Including the Round The Clock waterproof liner that is really stubborn!

The star product for me has to be the Pretty Amazing Lip Colour. I will go as far as saying that it really is Pretty Amazing! Think Rimmel Appocalips but more luxurious and with phenomenal staying power. The liquid gloss gives a fully opaque colour in one coat with a gorgeous shine. I had so many complements on this colour, it’s definitely become my go to lip product for a night out.

The bareMinerals Scene Stealer set is now sold out on the bareMinerals website for but I have found it on Feel Unique for £20.80. 

Have you tried any products from bareMinerals? I'm excited to try more.
