Makeup Of The Day | Every Day Autumnal Look

Hello lovelies! Now that it's coming up to Christmas, I like to change up my makeup so that it's a bit more glitzy and Autumnal. I love wearing sparkly and shimmery eye shadows on a day to day basis anyway but now that it's coming up to the colder months, I've been playing around with different shades I can wear. This is a look that I've been wearing to work quite regularly so it's still really nice to wear on an everyday basis.

So for this look I'm wearing my usual everyday base makeup. I very rarely change up my base makeup because now I've found a selection of products that works really well for me, I don't see a need to keep swapping it up. I love how the Urban Decay Naked Beauty Balm and the Benefit PoreFessional work together and leave my skin soft and smooth which means my foundation can apply evenly. The Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation is a perfect all year round product as it gives your skin that added glow it might be lacking during the colder months. To add some colour to my cheeks I've been using my favourite Autumn time blusher which is the NYX Powder Blush in Desert Rose. You may have seen this featured in my First Ever NYX Products post where I talked about it having a beautiful formula and being extremely pigmented!

For my eyes, I'm still loving my Benefit Stay Don't Stray eye primer as it really does help my eye shadow and concealer stay all day long. It also helps cover up any dark circles that I may have which is a huge bonus! As for my eye shadows, I actually went back to my Makeup Academy Undress Me Too palette which is a brilliant dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. I used a mixture of Reveal and Tranquil over the lid as a base and then Wink, Devotion and Dreamy into the crease for a dark and defined look. Finally I added a bit of Shy to the inner corner to brighten up my eyes. As all of these shadows have a shimmery finish, it does create that glitzy look that I love wearing at this time of the year. To finish off the look I applied a medium line of the Eyeko liquid liner and smoked that out slightly with Obsessed and Corrupt; then applied my all time favourite mascara the Soap & Glory Thick & Fast in Superjet Black!

Finally for my lips, I've been using a combination of two Soap & Glory products that I've been really loving recently. Firstly I use the Super-Colour FabuLipstick in Pom Pom* which is a deep pink shade with a matte finish. Then, to add the glossy finish I apply a thin coat of the Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Plumping Gloss in Clear*. This lip gloss actually has a really nice texture but I don't find it plumps up my lips that much.

So this is the type of look I have been wearing on a day to day basis for either work or college. I think it is really wearable despite having quite a bold lip and heavier eye makeup than usual.

Autumn Picks | My First Ever NYX Products

Hello everyone! I recently picked up a couple products from NYX which is a brand that I've wanted to try for ages! I've always envied US bloggers and vloggers as they have such easy access to this inexpensive yet brilliant quality makeup brand. Whilst wondering though town after work, I spotted a new shop that sold all kind of beauty and hair products at discounted prices - naturally I had to have a look around! To my surprise they had a huge range of NYX cosmetics from eye shadows to blushers, to lip glosses and palettes - I was spoilt for choice! In the end I decided to pick up only a couple items and if I fell in love with them, I thought I could come back for more!

The two products I decided to try were a Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in "Rust" and a Powder Blusher in "Desert Rose". Both of these shades looked perfect for Autumn as they're both deep red/ pink shades that would create gorgeous looks for this season. I knew I had to try a Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil as these are talked about so much in the blogging world, and I can see why! These are cream like eye shadows in a stick that can either work as an eye shadow base or as an actual eye colour. I like to use "Rust" as an eye shadow base as it gives my neutral eye shadows a burgundy tint. I find that it's great at helping my eye shadows stay on all day as well as giving my eyes a hint of Autumnal colour! I will definitely be picking up some more of these if I can find them as they were only £1.99 each!

As for the blusher, I am so impressed with the formula, texture and pigmentation (you may have seen it mentioned in my October Favourite's post!). "Desert Rose" is a gorgeous pink/ burgundy shade with a matte finish and is my current go to blusher for Autumn. As it's so pigmented, you literally just need to touch the blusher with your brush and you'll have plenty of product for your cheeks. As I'm quite fair, I'm not a fan of strong blusher so I like to wear mine quite subtle and natural. It wears on my skin really well and I hardly have to touch it up throughout the day. For £3.95 this is probably one of the nicest blushers I've tried and I really can't wait to pick up some more neutral shades for throughout the year!

So that's a quick little review and chat about my first 2 NYX products I've tried! Both of these products are still available on the NYX website so you can still try them out if you're in need of some new gorgeous Autumnal makeup! I would highly recommend these two shades as well as the actual Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencils and Powder Blusher lines - they're amazing value for money!

Makeup Of The Day | My First MAC Lipstick

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well and having a lovely weekend! I'm finally back from my holiday to Mallorca and I had such a lovely time! I'm planning on making a little post about my holiday, so if you're interested in the more lifestyle posts then keep an eye out for that. I also hope you enjoyed my guest bloggers and their posts and that you found some lovely new blogs to read. Last but not least, thank you so much for over 1,000 followers on Blog Lovin'! I'm so amazed as to how many of you are following my little corner of the Internet. So to thank you all properly, I'm going to do a giveaway here on my blog which will celebrate reaching over 1,000 GFC and Blog Lovin' followers, so keep an eye out for that too!

Today's post is about a makeup look that I have been wearing pretty much every time I do my makeup. It's very simple yet includes one of my new favourite products - my very first MAC lipstick! A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to win a giveaway by the lovely Charlotte from Cosmetic Charlotte on YouTube, and amongst the amazing selection of prizes was the MAC lipstick in Ramblin' Rose. This isn't a shade I have heard much about, but I have fallen in love with it and I cannot wait to try some more shades out!

MAC Lipstick in Ramblin' Rose | LINK

Ramblin' Rose is a natural shimmery rosey shade that also has a slight coral tone to it. It's one of those shades that would suit any skin tone as it's so natural looking on the lips! I loved wearing this lipstick on holiday (I wore it pretty much every night!) as it complimented my tanned skin really well and added a nice glow to my face. I've also been trying out H&M's Bronzing Powder which I also won in the giveaway and I have to say I'm really impressed! This is a matte bronzer that can be used all over the face for an extra glow or used as a natural looking contour. It's highly pigmented and a little goes a long way - for £2.99 this huge compact will last a long time and is great value for money! I really recommend you trying out this brozing powder if you're looking for a new one.

Topshop Lips Lipstick in Confession [Review]

I rarely wear this Topshop lipstick, purely because it's such a bright shade of pink and I can only wear it in the Summer. Now that it's getting a bit sunnier and warmer, I thought I would make the most of it and wear this little beauty! As the lipstick is quite bold, I took the opportunity to try out my new eye shadow pigments in Halo and Special Dark by Lumiere Cosmetics. I can already say I absolutely love these eye shadows and you can expect to see a full review in the next week or so!
