My Daily Make-up Routine

Welcome back to my blog! I hope you've had a fantastic weekend maybe you even had fun in the snow or the snow may have been a negative thing for you. I'd love to know- tell me about it in the comments!

I thought that it might be nice for me to show you how I do my daily make-up at the moment. You may notice that I have already linked most of the products I'm using in previous posts as I love them so much- there'll be links at the bottom of the page! Let's get started...


The first step I take before I put any makeup on, is to cleanse and moisturise my face. Two of the products I use are the Wilko Argan Oil & Vanilla Lip Balm and the Vintage Collection Rose Handcream. If I'm perfectly honest, I was slightly sceptical of how well the lip balm would work, but despite my doubts, it works better for me than a chapstick.


Next, the first product I apply is my foundation which I blob a small pea-sized amount onto the back of my hand. With my right hand, I grab my foundation brush and dip it in, getting a little bit of it at a time and gently applying it all over my face.


To cover up any blemishes or discoloured areas, I use my concealer. I put a little bit of this on either side of my nose, at the top (near my eyes) and at the base of it, too. Also, under my eyes and any other blemishes.



Blush is next on the list. This particular blush is more orangey in colour so I apply it on my cheekbones in small amounts so as not to make my face look orange! 🍊😊

Now, I believe it's time for... EYESHADOW!!! My personal favourite! I normally use this palette if I'm not feeling very adventurous and apply the darkest shade to the outside of my eyelids. Then, I go for the second darkest next to that. In the centre, goes the pink and then the lightest brown. Finally, the palest colour right in the smallest corner of my eye. Blending time! My blending brush is not too big but not small to mix all the colours together and give the edges a bit more of a finished look!


For my mascara, I only have one at the moment which is about 6 months out of date so as you can imagine, it's quite blobby! So, I'll put it on and then have to get the blobs out. 😪

Last, but not least, I chose my scent for the day. This varies from day to day so I couldn't easily put a specific one in here.





This is my daily makeup look! If this brightened up your day, please remember to give the favour back to me and click that 'Follow' button! Thank you all for all your amazing support!

Stay tuned for more,
Elly😸

January Must Haves 2019

How has your new year been so far? I'm pretty sure I slept through January as I honestly have no idea where it went. This month the weather started gloomy, but then right at the end the sun began to shine a bit longer and light snow not only filled the sky but also covered the paths roads and grass to create many photography opportunities. February is going to be a very exciting month for me and I can't wait to share bits of it with you!  One of my new year's resolutions was to learn more about skincare and improve my routine and my skin itself so as you could tell from my December Must Haves , I had begun a collection of products but January really boosted this and now I have a few more items to share with you. Clearasil and Simple play a big part in this post only because I love both brands so much and they work wonders for my skin! P.s. the best product is the last one so keep reading to find out what it is! Simple Protecting Light Moisturiser In winter I do

September Must Haves

Image
Hey! Yes, I did have a little break- please excuse me! I was very busy working on some very exciting posts to keep you up-to-date with my autumnal antics! 😂 As you might already know, autumn just happens to be my favourite season because of the colours and just the general atmosphere so I was extremely excited to get to work on these posts!  Can we just speak about how it is the end of September already!? It feels like the start was only last week! What did you guys manage to jam-pack into September? This month has been great for collecting stuff to go in my Must-Haves because it has been my birthday! Enjoy! 1. Morphe 350 Nature Glow Palette This has some beautiful earthy colours for autumn; my favourites are the darker browns and slightly orangey tones. All colours are extremely blendable and have great pigmentation- it caught me off guard because I'm used to my palette without much, so I put quite a lot on and it looked as if I'd been punched in the face 😂.

Hi everybody!!! I am so excited for you guys to see this post because I'm so proud of it! Now, I think it's about the right time to share with you what's in my main makeup bag at the moment. All the items that are shown here, I think, have been featured in previous posts but that was always going to happen anyway because all the items in my makeup bag are ones which I love so I would've recommended them before to you guys! If you do enjoy this, please remember to share with friends!!! Also- just a quick note- instead of linking the products at the bottom of the page, all the green words, you can click on to go to that webpage- tell me if it works!
