18th birthday make-up!

Hello lovely!

I turned 18 on the 12th and I thought I would share the make-up that I wore with you!

Coming up soon as well will be a kind of "day in the life" of my birthday, an outfit of the day and a post on the tattoo I got :).

I was planning on putting all the post together (make-up, outfit, tattoo and generally what I did), but when I was sorting out all of the pictures I realised that it would be an absurdly large post!

Products in the order used:

-Wilkinsons Fruity Hand sanitiser

-Bobbles 

-Boots Essentials Moisturiser 

-Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (Medium)

-Brush from a Blush Professional kit, used for concealer

-Revlon ColorStay foundation (for normal/dry skin in 180 sand beige)

-Real Techniques expert face brush used for foundation

-Blistex Relief Cream (for dry lips)

-Rimmel Professional Eye Brow Pencil

-Loreal Super Liner Carbon Gloss

-Barry M Bold Waterproof Eyeliner (in black)

-ELF Studio Cream Eye Shadow (can't find the colour online but I think Champagne) 

-Brush from a Blush Professional kit, used for eye shadow in the inner corners of my eyes

-Max Factor Eye Brightening Mascara for green eyes

-MAC Lip Pencil in Soar

-MAC Cremesheen Lip Stick in Hot Gossip 

oooh don't I look young!

So, there's the finished look!

Pink lips, big winged liner, defined brows and just a very plain face (no blush etc.).

Hope you like it :)

I had by far the best birthday ever this year...

F.O.T.D. and chit chat :)

Hello darling!

Well, if you're in England I'm sure you'll know it's been an awful day, weather-wise. This has made me immensely excited. Much to my friends annoyance as they've been moaning about their hair etc, and I've been giggling with glee at how much it feels like Christmas time :D.

Anyway, that's what has inspired today's blog, I only ever really wear bolder lips during the winter months. So, today when I woke up to the sound of rain and my Dad telling me to wrap up warm, I knew it was time to whack out the bolds!

Also, as it has been colder lately, I've switched to a foundation with more coverage; today it was the Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 hour foundation (in 303 true nude). Sticking with the good old Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer (in 2 light), as I have quite a few blemishes lately, I think changing my foundation has freaked out my skin :(.

On my eyes I just have Natural Collection eyeshadows, from the duo Mocha/Latte. Latte all over the lid and Mocha on the outer corner blended in. I also have two more Boots faves on my lashes: the No7 Excuisite Curl mascara on to make them pretty, and the Natural Collection WaterGuard mascara just over the top because of all the rain.

Finally, the area that feels most winter-y to me by far, is the lips. I am wearing a Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Plumfull (440). On its own this is a rather dark purple with red undertones, however as I was at college today, I felt it needed toning down a tiny bit, so over the top I have on a Revlon Colourburst Lipgloss in Sizzle (046), which is a very orangey-red to bring out the red, rather than purple tones.
*Just a little side note, the Revlon Lipstick in 046 matches perfectly with the Topshop Lipstick Infrared which I wore together yesterday :).

The one time of the year a 17 year old can be a teddy...
ILOVEWINTER!!
