Autumn Look!

Hey Everyone,

So, I got a make up look for you today! I love the warm and redy brown tones that are always big this time of year. I made this look wearable for the day as it puts some excitement into a standard everyday look! Doing your make up in the morning shouldn't be a chore - it should be a pleasure!

You'll have to excuse my eyebrows - they are becoming a tiny bit crazy (may be due a tidy up soon!) As you can see it is pretty simple and clean. But I'm still rocking my feline flick, which you all know I love! But instead of the liner being black, I actually used my Bobbi Brown Long-wear Gel Eyeliner in Caviar Ink (27) which is a blackened brown shade. This I think makes a nice change and it ties in all those lovely warm browns I use as shadow.

I used pretty much all MAC eye shadows from my palette - I used Brule all over the lid, Mulch all through the crease and over the top of Mulch I used a bit of Cranberry (just to give it a wash off that gorgeous redy shade). Then, finally popped a bit of Espresso right in the outer corner and some of Urban decays Virgin (from the Naked Palette) in the inner corner. I made sure this was all blended nicely using my MAC 217.

The lips are very simple - lined with MAC's lip liner in Subculture, Tom Ford lip stick Blush Nude (which I mentioned in my Autumn Lipsticks), with Buxom Cream Gloss in White Russian over the top.

I better mention the skin - I used L'Oreal Nude Magique Eau De Teint (a review will be coming soon!) and for the rest see my everyday make up routine.

I hope you enjoyed this post and have a lovely day!

Make up essentials for your hand bag!

Hey Everyone,

In my opinion, I don't think you need to carry around endless amounts of make up in your hand bag on a daily basis. I mean, I have enough stuff to carry around for uni, such as folders, my laptop, my lunch etc. So, I really don't need any useless products floating around in my hand bag!

 This was a very exciting free gift with purchase with Chanel! I could not believe my luck and it was the last one! This contains all the make up I tend to carry around with me :) I also love the fact its bright red, so I can't miss it! 

The most important thing to carry in your bag is a powder! Especially for us oily skin girls! I'm currently using the Laura Mercier Matte Translucent powder, which is just beautiful and light. It takes away my shine without adding too much coverage, so doesn't look cakey! Then, you might be looking at that sad excuse for a brush to the right! It was an old MAC face brush I had from the Wonder Woman collection, like 3 years ago! And sometimes I don't want to use the sponge so I use my brush (travel size!)

Finally, I always carry the lip combo I'm wearing that day! This does change regularly for me, so I literally took out what was there at this point in time! Firstly, there is my Chanel Rouge Coco in 40 Charme. This is a gorgeous natural pink shade, which actually has good staying power for a pinky lipstick. The gloss is Buxom Cream Gloss in White Russian, this is quite a thick gloss and can be a little sticky (but not as much as MAC lip glosses)

My beauty checklist for the day -
Powder
Lipstick/Lipgloss

I hope you enjoyed this post and have a lovely day!
