Face of the day // 9 May 2013

Face: Lancome Teint Idole shade 005, Rimmel stay matte pressed powder shade 001, Benefit Hoola bronzer.
Eyes: Urban Decay Naked palette - Half Baked, Smog & Dark Horse on eyes & Buck on brows, Barry M liquid liner, YSL mascara
Lips: Dior Lipgloss

So this is the first time I've ever posted a 'face of the day' and maybe I'll post more in the future?  All I'm gonna say is thank god for bright sunlight which makes my skin look clear!  This was actually taken a little while ago, which you may be able to tell because it's pre-fringe and my hair is so bright!  It's really shitty and faded at the moment because I've been concentrating on college so much recently, but I'm treating myself and going to the salon next week to get it redone so I'm looking forward to that!

VIDEO // My Daily Makeup Routine

I've had a couple of questions on how I do my daily makeup so thought I'd film a quick video!  This is the look I wear to college or work and features a simple cat flick with coppery eye shadow.  I'd love to know what you think, especially as I'm not quite used to the whole YouTube thing yet, and if you want me to post a video of me discussing the different products I use, or my 'going out' look just let me know, and any other video ideas are very welcome!

I walk with shadows






It's a little late, but I thought I'd make a post about the makeup that I got for Christmas.  It's basically all benefit but meh.  I'm no ~beauty blogger so I have no idea about terminology etc so here goes:
The first thing is the Legally Bronze Kit which contains the Gilded pencil highlighter, High Beam, BAD LASH in brown and the Hoola bronzing powder.  I'm a huge fan of the Hoola and it's my favourite bronzer, so this was much appreciated, especially as my current one is in appalling condition!  The Second item is the Realness of Concealness kit which is actually so cute! It contains 3 little bottles, with 'Ooh La Lift', 'Lip Plump' and 'High Beam' as well as Lemon Aid and Boi-ing as swatchy things on the right.  Next is the Erase Paste, another concealer which is apparently amazing for getting rid of tired eyes and I'm in desperate need of some concealer so this was a godsend.  After that we have the BAD LASH in black (that I forgot to photograph), which I'll probably use a little more than the brown, and actually I was a little disappointed with this product, as it doesn't really do much for me.  I don't have short lashes, but this just doesn't seem to do much!  Lastly is a MAC lipstick that my dad got me, the colour is A81 Morange, and it's kind of an orangey coral colour, although it looks quite red in photographs.  I never wear lipstick so I'm a little intimidated by it, especially as my lips aren't small! It is a nice colour and I hope to wear lipstick more frequently this year!

Anyway, sorry that was insanely rambly, I'm super tired and, as I said, I suck at makeup terminology! I hope you got the gist anyway, and if you have any further questions about any of the products then feel free to leave a comment or tweet me!
