BEAUTY: MY EVERYDAY MAKE UP


Today I thought i'd share some of my everyday make up with you as I can't remember the last time I showed you my make up or actually featured any beauty for that matter. 

Base: I'm still loving Nars Sheer Glow, this has been a firm favourite of mine for a while now (it's about to run out so recommend any drug store dupes) I've been using Collection lasting perfection concealer as usual. I've been using the Laura Mercier Shine Control setting powder for a little while now. It mattify's the skin without making it look cakey.  On days where I need a little more coverage I use Bareminerals Mineral Veil to set my make up as this gives extra coverage and sets my foundation. 

To highlight i'm still loving the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop! I also use Topshop Glow for my brow bone and cupids bow.

I have been using the NYX Brow pencil and NYX Tame and Frame on my Brows and finish with Soap and Glory Archery Voluboost gel* which sets them and makes them amazing. 

I have always been a faithful to Urban Decay Primer Potion and repurchase it all the time! It's the best eyeshadow primer! My eyeshadow lasts all day and looks amazing. I use it every single day!

My favourite eyeshadow palettes right now are the Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics palette which I pretty much reach for everyday and the Morphe 35T Palette which is amazing, my sister got it me for my birthday and I use it all the time, it's such a great all round eyeshadow palette.

My favourite lipsticks right now have both been Mac matte shades. I'm loving Brave and Taupe. I always go for these aswell as Velvet Teddy however i've tried to use some of my others as I need to repurchase Velvet Teddy soon.

I haven't really been wearing blusher much recently and i've been trying to use up bits of old bronzer before I buy a new one. I have a old Nars palette that has different blushers and it has the laguna bronzer in too so i've been reaching for this. 

I've been using these brushes by Zoeva that my sister got me for Christmas, they are so pretty! I've been some of these for the last week or so and they are amazing, i'm so happy with them.

HOW TO KEEP THAT SUMMER GLOW






With the rubbish weather were having right now in the UK I thought I would share some of my favourite bronzing products so you can keep that summer glow through into Autumn.

I don't know about you but i'm loving contouring and highlighted cheekbones right now and I'm not quite ready for autumn, So here's a few of my favourite products to keep your skin glowing.

 When choosing a contour / bronzer theres a few different options you can pick from, I tend to go for a light / medium shade and stick to matte as I think it's easier to work with, you can always add shimmer using a highlighter. The Clarins Aquatic Treasures Summer Bronzing Compact* is a great addition to any collection, inside it has four shades to pick from. The compact is a really decent size making it easy to swizzle your brush and get a decent amount of product on the brush. I use the ecotools contour brush or a powder brush depending on intensity i'm going for. The Clarins bronzer is the perfect shade for my skintone, it lasts all day and is easy to build up. Nars Laguna is such a popular bronzer, I always see it in blog posts and raved about by bloggers. I have this Nars Virtual Domination palette which is such a great product as inside is the Miss Liberty highlighting powder and 3 blushers. Laguna is a matte bronzer, it's a slightly darker shade but once its blended its perfect and so versatile. Laguna is such a lovely pigmented bronzer, it's such a great quality product. I recently picked up this Seventeen Define and Conquer kit, you can read my full review here. It's a really handy kit with a contour and highlight inside. The contour is such a versatile shade and a great quality contour and the highlight is a matte powder. I find this sets my concealer really well so I use this in areas that I have used concealer to highlight. For £5.99 this is an absolute bargain and I really reccommend it, I will be buying another one when I've used this one.  Finally I thought i'd include my hourglass ambient lighting palette, this is a great palette for highlighting and setting your foundation. It gives the skin that shimmer and glow, the ambient palette has three different shades and is easy to use. The product is a versatile product, you can use it to highlight or add it to other products. It's a fine powder so it's quite natural but you can build up the product easily. I'm going to Ibiza in two weeks so i'm not ready to let summer go just yet, maybe when I get back i'll get into Autumn mode!






REVIEW: NARS VIRTUAL DOMINATION


Nars Virtual Domination Palette - £45- SOLD OUT 

Clint bought me this amazing palette for Christmas. I really love Nars blushers so this is amazing, it also contains the very popular laguna bronzer. Theres a huge mirror which makes it ideal for traveling. You have lots of choice the highlighter, bronzer and 3 blushers. 

The individual Nars Blush price is £22.50, so this is a steal at £45! The colours are great choices, it includes deep throat which is one of my absolute favourites. You get a really generous amount of each colour aswell, especially the bronzer which is great so it will last you a very long time. 

I love that you can swipe different shades to create a unique shade. I know that this palette is sold out now but if you ever get the chance to buy one i'd totally recommend it. It's such an amazing product at a great price.
