Real Techniques Brushes

Hey everyone, welcome back:)

I hope you all had a very happy Christmas. I've been a absent from blogging for the past couple of weeks (sorry), but work has been busy as this is our busiest time of year. I also haven't been trying many new products lately because of that.

But today I'm back:) I've a quick post on a new brush I've been using lately. I bought the Real Techniques core collection and I've fallen for the Buffing Brush.

This brush gives amazing finish to your foundation, it buffs the product in, giving an airbrushed appearance.  The hairs on the brush are super soft compared to some, making it a joy to work with!! The core collection was around €20, which is great for the quality your getting. You get 3 other brushes but this one just stood out to me, being honest I tried using my stippling brush and half way through application I had to change brush!!

anyway that's all for this post, ill keep it short and sweet:)

Hope you all have a great New Years, and I'll be back soon.

Till then xx

Hair Wax

Hey everyone, welcome back😊

Hope you've enjoying my last few posts. Another quick one today!

I mentioned a wax in my November favourites, and I just wanted to elaborate on it. I bought this wax 2 weeks ago and I love it. I never thought I'd cut my hair so I never minded the waxes in work, but now that Ive been brave and cut off all my hair I've been experimenting.😋

Its by the company Alfaparf, in its S4U range. This is an Italian hair company. They have their own colours and products exclusive to salons, but worth it.

This wax is lovely for adding texture, and holding it in place on a bad hair day!! Its not sticky, it has kind of a creamy thick consistently, but when warmed in your hands its easy to work with. It doesnt give a greasy look to the hair, or a wet look, which is great cause I hate that. It will also last me ages as you need a tiny bit to work with!

Id highly recommend anyone with short hair to try this.

I really hope you like this post, and I'll be back soon!

Till then <3 xx

November Favourites💗

Hey everyone hope your well:)

So its the end of November.... Really hard to believe!! Cant believe how fast this year is going. But Im so excited for Christmas. Its one of my favourite times of year🎄🎅

Today I decided Id do my November favourites, this is my first favourites post and Im quiet excited about it:)

Face:
✳I absolutely love L'Oréal True Match Foundation in tne shade C2. This just gives me an absolutely amazing coverage, without feeling cakey. 

✳Catrice camouflage concealer 001 Ivory. This concealer covers just about everything.

✳L'Oréal Age Rewind. I use this to cover my dark circles and to highlight. It keeps under my eyes bright and it doesn't crease.

✳Loreal Glam Bronze. I love this product for contouring. Its a perfect bronze shade for my skin tone.

Eyes:
✳Mac Uninterrupted eyeshadow is the most gorgeous camel brown/orange! I use this as my transition shade in my crease. It warms up the look, and also brings out the blue in my eyes:)

✳Mua Heaven and Earth. This is probably my all time favourite eyeshadow pallette. I think it was around €5 or in or around, which is nothing. It has a great variety of shades, fro  light to dark, and matte to shimmer.

Skincare:
✳Clarins Moisture Replemishing Lip Balm. This is a must for me for this time of year. I suffer from dry lips so I try keep this on to keep the hydrated and soft.

✳Radox Eastern Spirit. I love the smell of this:) Theres something almost therapeutic about it!! Sometimes Ill pop some into the bath (whenever I get a chance to have one!!) and the scent fills the room as is like heaven!

✳Simple Gel Facial Wash. Ive tried alot of different face washes, but very few I like. This one is the best I've used. It doesn't irritate my skin, really cleans it, and helps keep my spots at bay:)

✳St Moriz Tan. Ive been using this tan the past few years and its a great one. Its around €4 in Penneys Which again is nothing! I find this gives me a very natural glow and doesnt make me orange! Also it gradually wears off so it doesnt look blotchy!

Hair:
✳S4U Dfinr. I recently cut off all my hair!! I just couldnt manage it long, so I said "to hell with it"!!! And I love it now! Its so much easier to manage and so hassle free. So since cutting it I like to use some wax just to keep it in place/ add texture. This S4U one is great. Its not sticky or tacky, its nice and smooth and easy to work with, and holds my hair in place all day!

✳L'Oréal Damage Care Mask. I use this mask when I feel  y hair needs a little TLC. This really deep conditions the hair leaving it silky smooth.

Brushes:
✳E25 Round Top Blending Brush. Best brush for applying colour in my crease, or blending shades on  my eyes!

✳F03 Large Duo Fibre Stippling Brush. Amazing for really working foundation into the skin. It gives an airbrushed appearance to the skin:)

I really hope you enjoyed this post, and I'll be back soon with another:)

Till then 💓 x

Makeup of the day💄

Hey guys! Welcome back:)

Just a quick makeup of the day for you! I dont often get up in time to go over the top on my makeup (sometimes Id rather the extra few minutes in bed!!!!) But today I had time so I said Id go all out:) 

Here is an overview of the products!

Below is the shadow I used to fill in my brows. Its from an Avon pallette Ive had for ages, and its the perfect colour for my brows. I dont like my brows overly defined but I like to make it look like I have brows:) 

For eyeshadow I used Mac Uninterupted blended into my crease as the transition shade. Then I used MUA pallette in "Heaven and Earth", using the dark browb to deepen my crease on the outer corner, and the shimmery champagne colour all over my lid:) 

For foundation I used L'Oreal True Match in C2, I recently done a post in this! Its a great foundation, I cant rave sbout it enough!

I use Catrice Camoflauge concealer on 010 "Ivory". This covers everything possible, Id be lost without it at the moment as my skin is not being too kind to me:/

I used the Catrice concealer pallette and used the darker shade and blended it under my cheekbones to contour a little!

I set everything with Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in 001 "Transparent"! 

Loving the Essence blush in 10 "Adorable". Its just a very soft pink. It gives just enough colour to the cheeks, not to overdone:)

I like to go over my contour with a powder bronzer as well, just to define more. I love this duo from L'Oreal Glam Bronze. Its a perfect bronzer shade ("102 Brunette Mahogany") for my skin tone. And it comes with a highlight.

And just a little Christmas lip;) This is a Catrice Jumbo Lip Crayon. I cant remember the exact shade, and its rubbed off now:( But this red is lovely, its not too in your face! 

This is one of my favourite makeup looks for this time of year:) 

I hope you enjoy!

Till next time <3 x
