February Favourites: 2016

So hi...

I love how well February favourites just rolls off the tongue don't you?

Anyway, this month has been one of trying new things and really just setting myself up for the year. As I also started blogging again this year it generally made me think about all the beauty and skincare products I have which in turn lead to me experimenting and actually having a decent amount of favourites to share. It's usually the case that I just never have enough different favourites to keep up each month but we'll see how that goes. My favourites this month are a decent mixture of beauty fashion and arty type stuff so here goes.

-Tablet: So my biggest favourite this month (and this year really) has definitely been my WACOM bamboo tablet, I can't believe I ever stopped using it. I think it was because I was 15 or so and didn't really understand the possibilities and didn't have a good program to go with it. It was also around the time that I started to go out a lot more and was basically out the house most of the time. since then it was just sitting in my under bed storage gathering dust. When I started really getting back into drawing and sketching I remembered that I had it and dug it out, and well it's sat comfortably in front of my laptop since.

-Diary: If I keep up using and updating my diary, it'll probably be a favourite every month, because who doesn't like feeling organised and in control of their life? I actually have two diaries, This one photographed is my main one which stays on my desk and I write in each night for my to-do lists and planned outings etc. And I carry one basic diary if my bag if case I need to write something down for a plan or exams at uni or just generally while I'm out. It's been a good month for organization!

-Mist You Madly: This has been a huuge favourite. S&G products are always amazing,  have yet to find a product I didn't really like, and most of them also smell amazing, this product is no different. it's super nice to just spray  a bit in the morning before leaving and it just lingers. I'm not really great at explaining scents but yu can definitely tell it's a soap and glory product and has a bit of a sweet smell, it's starting to get low as well and it's making me so sad.

-#Makeup Bag: This bag was actually a free extra I got in superdrug, I think it was just for spending over a certain amount but I really like it, It's a perfect size and I use it for make up pieces that I want to try or use but aren't really a part of my everyday make-up or it won't fit in my everyday make-up basket. It's also a good size to use for short trips as a travel bag, as such I'll be using this for the make-up I take to Ireland.

-Sleek Storm Palette: This is a re-find. I bought this palette ages ago after seeing a lot about how good sleek was for their eye shadows, when I bought it I used it almost daily, but as I also bought the naked palettes and have just generally increased my palette collection, this beauty got buried a little bit sadly. Since I have been making an effort to look through my make-up and skincare collection more often however I found this palette again and it's sat in my daily make-up basket, which I think is where it will stay for a few weeks yet.

-Nars Satin lip pencil in Majella: Another re-find. I actually wasn't keen on this when I first bought it. I got it from paris, exactly about a year ago now and I think I expected it to be some miracle product as it was and still is my first and only NARS product, But finding it and trying it again, it is a very good product and feels nice on my lips, I've been having trouble with lipsticks in general recently and just not liking the way any lipstick looks or applies but this was different and has slowly helped me regain my lipstick confidence.

-Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel eyeliner 24h: I had recently run out of eyeliner pen. Well not run out as such but the current eye liner I was using was actually starting to dry out and getting really annoying to apply smoothly and with precision, so I Thought I would get the gel liner back out again. I'm pretty decent with gel liner, I don't have many problems getting a sharp line, I've practised so much generally in applying eyeliner that I like to think it's one of my strong points. Despite this, eyeliner pen is still usually my go to, it's just the easiest and quickest option, but I do prefer the colour and smoothness of gel, so I'm keeping with this for now, at least till I find a new liner I haven't tried yet to experiment with.

-: New look Scarf; Now I have recently written a post about this scarf which you can read and look at here.

Those are all my favourites for February, We'll see how March goes for favourites, you'll see more favourites posts for as long as I'm not super boring and changing up and trying new (or old) things.

What has been your favourite products or moment in February?

10 healthy (ish) Lunches

So hi...

Second of the foodie posts! This time it's 10 lunches I enjoy, and again they are healthyish, as there are exception because I like not so healthy food, but I think that's pretty normal so it's cool.

1. Smokey Red lentil soup- This is my best soup ever. Me and my mum made this a while back and we wondered what made it so smokey and realized it was from using smoked paprika and I'm so glad we did, it's the perfect lunch with some super fresh bread. Yum.

2. Rivita with chili cheese & ham with salad- This is a lighter lunch and one I had many a time between uni lectures, Recently I've been using sweet chili philly instead of the actual chili cheese but it's still just as good. ( you may have noticed I included this in the breakfasts post with poached egg instead, but ya know, it's good stuff.

3. Ham salad sandwich- Super simple one but some good ham slices with lettuce and any other salad choices and a blob of mayo, so fresh tasting and easy to make.

4.Baked potato and Filling- This can be made healthier or unhealthy with what fillings you use, It's quite nice with some tuna mayo for lunch, I personally think cheese and beans is more a dinner thing.

5. Cheese on toast- Super unhealthy but some times there's nothing better than some good old cheese on toast and a splash of tomato sauce.

6. Egg & chicken Sweet chili salad- Best salad I ever made was a salad with spinach fried onions tomatoes and lettuce with garlic and herb sauce then topped with egg and chicken with sweet chili dressing, the dressing isn't too bad but not great either. I love them though.

7. Scrambled egg mixed with spinach & salmon- This is a super health lunch, you could also swap what you have, so maybe ham slices instead of salmon or add avocado as well, but scrambled egg is lush and spinach makes it all that much better.

8.Fill it your way wrap- Wraps are pretty damn good. and often easy to make, for lunches I tend to not have anything hot in a wrap except maybe warm up some chicken, but often will have salad with a bit of mayo then ham or chicken or turkey and mix a little bbq sauce, the mix of health crunchy from the salad with the naughty taste of bbq sauce is heavenly.

9. Tuna & sweet corn pasta- Super simple, super filling. Yum Tuna with a little mayo and a load of sweetcorn mixed in with freshly cooked pasta. not much else to say really. it's a good'un.

10. Fruit Bowl- Another lighter lunch and easily could be breakfast as well, but a big bowl of your favourite fruits with a little yogurt is lovely and fresh, you could also sprinkle a few nuts or a little granola of top for extra crunch.

What are your favourite lunches to enjoy?

Current Summer FOTD

So Hi...

 In Summer I feel like most people change up their make up a little bit, with the heat it's often not ideal to have a full face of make-up that feels like it could melt off your face at any moment, so not attractive. I'm no exception to this, although the changes I've made to my daily make-up are a mixture of the change in weather and a gain of products. Though tweaks still need to be made I'm becoming more and more content with my make-up application and skills. Anyway I thought I would just list the product's I'm using for my day to day Summer make-up with some selfies showing it off at the end!

Lets start with the base, I use the Make-up Revolution ultra all day primer balm first along with the Make-up Revolution eye primer to help keep my make-up on, which is especially needed in the added heat. Concealer of choice at the moment is the MUA hide and conceal stick. I'm out of collections lasting perfection concealer and have yet to find it restocked and not open in my shade, the struggles.  I unfortunately don't have a full bottle of foundation as I've been using a tester bottle of Urban Decay's Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup in 0.5 as picked for me at the urban decay event I went to a while back ( Read Here!) I'm absolutely loving it and definitely going to look into getting myself a full bottle. I'm also getting into Bronzer a little now and use the MUA Bronzer in shade 1. And Powder is the forever faithful Rimmel stay matte.

Now for Eyes. I've recently been quite loyal to this Go! palette from Make-up Revolution for my eye shadow, I love the pink toned colours and the range which means I can go super pale and neutral one day and smokey dark another. The curlers are standard own branded ones from Superdrug as I've never really used curlers and wanted to test them out. For eye liner my top favourite is the Collection extreme 24 hour felt tip liner, it's easy to control and gives such good colour pigment off. I own about 4 of these in different colours now. for mascara I don't really have one that I specifically use daily, I have about 4/5 I tend to swap between. At the moment though I'm been loving Soap & glory Thick and Fast, it does what it says and really thickens the lashes. In terms of pencils again I'm not really too fussy and have a number of pencils from different brands, I've recently bought this gorgeous green eye pencil from MUA however and it's a lovely colour that adds a pop and I feel really brings out the green tones in my eyes.

That just about sums up my summer FOTD, the lip colours change daily depending on my mood or the event so I didn't include those.

What's your Summer FOTD Products? any particular look your loving?

Those Statement Necklaces

So Hi...

I've always been into my necklaces, maybe because I feel like necklaces can look good no matter the size, It's easy sprucing up of an outfit. So along with this I'm a big fan of pretty statement necklaces to add a little more sparkle to a plain or casual outfit. Because of this love I'm got a tiny little collection of my to go statement necklaces which I thought I would show off.

 This first necklace is definitely my favourite, It's also probably the first proper chunky statement necklace I ever got, to the point that I don't remember where I got it from or whether I bought it for myself or it was a present, so it's a pretty old one, but It's such a bold statement piece. I always get compliments when I wear this necklace out and it makes an outfit look so much more flashy and add a little of a grunge feel to an outfit.

 This simple gold statement necklace was actually only £1 in a local store called 21 in Perry Barr along with the leaf one below which was also £1. What a bargain for a statement necklace! I love this necklace because it's super plain but at the same time paired with a plain black dress for example it makes such a difference and add so much to an outfit.

 This necklace as already mentioned was £1. It's another gold one and makes me think of Greek goddess for some reason, Also makes me think of a poison ivy as an outfit. It's such pretty looking and I love the details of the leaves.

 This is a super gothic looking necklace and I absolutely love it. It's the sort of necklace that looks absolutely amazing with shirts underneath the collar, So pretty and stylish looking.

 This one is a very cutesy necklace that I imagine I'll wear loads in the summer with pretty little summer dresses and play-suits. I think it's also a good choice when I wanna go extra girly looking on a night out or for a cute but smart outfit, I like that it looks like flowers/petals, or maybe that's just me.

This last one is a probably one of the plainest out of the lot and I surprisingly got it from Asda but It's a super sophisticated necklace and it makes me feel very grown up and lady like when I wear it. The woven detail is gorgeous as well.

And that's my little statement necklace collection, I have a huge collection of necklaces in general, Maybe I'll show it off in a blog post one day, though I wouldn't be able to talk about each one like this, we'd be here forever.
Which of these is your favourite necklace? let me know down in the section comments below.

My Favourite Summer clothes.

So hi

Showcase type of post today! Showing off my favourite clothes which I'll be wearing the most this summer. Unfortunately I have a super small collection of summery clothes but I have savings so Shopping trip may be in order once I return back to the home town (it's Luton if ya didn't know) But anyway, these are my pretty clothes that I like, yay.

This first dress is very holiday for me, It's the sort of dress I'd only wear in the dead middle of Summer where it's really hot and warm. I think I may have bought this for a holiday a while back. It's super colourful compared to the rest of my wardrobe but I do still love it.

 This next dress is actually my favourite dress that I own if I'm honest. I love the print and the lace on the top, even the cut is perfect. It's just the perfect style for my personal tastes and I back still wear it in winter with tights boots and a scarf which is a bonus!

This dress is super duper girly, It has layers underneath and it's very flowy and cute, I got this one from Clothesminded and I'm pretty sure it wasn't more than £10. I think it was £6/£8 IT has a nice cut like the last one and it's got a very cute but grown up looking floral pattern.

The last thing one is a play-suit and it's started a little bit of an obsession where I really want a whole load of play-suits. This is similar to my favourite dress in pattern. It's simplistic, not too much floral and it sits so nicely I feel. And cause it's a play-suit I can feel completely comfortable which is a little more annoying with a dress.

What Makes My Room Mine!

So hi...

When you make the jump to uni and with the majority of people, move into student accommodation, you find that every room is pretty bog-standard and basically the same. It's a very uncomfortable feeling moving into such a blank canvas of a room that has so many restriction of what you can and can't have. Because of this I feel it's important to have a few little home decor pieces to put your stamp onto your uni room and make it feel all that little bit more homely and comforting after a hard day of uni work. So with this in mind I thought I would show off the few little bits and pieces which a consider to show of my mark in my room and make it more cosy.

First these are the little pieces that are dotted around my desk and shelves. The Panda bag and C shape were gifts, given to me by fellow blogger Molly when we participated in a box swap. Since the swap was before uni it meant they could be immediately placed in my room as soon as I moved in and made it so much more 'me' The other two pieces were additions I bought myself from a local little home decor/ clothes store. It was a strange find as the store itself looks very badly presented and the clothes don't really seem to be for the younger audience, but me and my flatmates decided to have a little look and I found these two bits, The little heart sign says 'What I love most about my home is who I share it with' And was only £2. I bought this with my house for next year in mind as out of 4, I'm only fond of two of my other flatmates. but living with them and the friends next door is something I'm seriously looking forward to. The little wooden box was £3-4 and I love the cute simplicity of it, plus I say bits and bobs all the time so it fits.

 Th next little cosy addition is a rather recent purchase. It's a gorgeous fluffy little pillow that i picked up from primark for about £5 I think it was? Recently I've been dying to build up a cute little pillow collection to adorn my bed and this little beauty it the start of that collection as well as my planned center piece.

 The Rest of the additions that make my mark on my uni room are just the way I've chosen to decorate my room, I said yesterday how I got a load of free prints for the use f my scrapbook, however I also used a few to stick up onto my wall into a heart shape just above my bed, As well as to help decorate my uni board. As well as them I have little wristbands I've collected from nights out and events ( as well as the event t-shirt with my nickname- I don't know why it's that either) and my framed pictures of my football society photos. I absolutely love my board as it's the one place I can get away with sticking nearly anything up there without hassle.

If you're currently at uni what things do you have to personalized your room? and if not are there any favourite home pieces in your house that make it feel like home?

 Birthday Present.

 Primark: £20

 New look in the sale. £16

Christmas present.

The Christmas Jumper.

So hi..

So did anyone else see how quick the stores changed after halloween? I went to my local asda the morning after halloween night and it was already in full Christmas swing with the decs and theme. I have to admit it was impressive but I'm not sure I like it. I love Christmas but it seems to get 'longer' and longer each year. Though saying that this week after seeing the german market and Christmas Songs I'm rather festive...  ANYWAY, I feel like a cringy christmas themed jumper is rather must have each year, but in am attempt to lessen the cringe I've picked my favourite Christmas-y jumpers. My top top favourite out of these i think is the green one with the reindeer, he's so cute looking though!

10 Things that Cheer me up.

So hi..

This is just a little post. I just thought it would be nice to make a little list of the things that make me happy and the things that cheer me up. Not in order of anything, just a small list

1. Reading Manga/A Book - I'm addicted to manga, I also used to do a ridiculous amount of reading books as a child, but a well written or drawn book or manga get me so happy, I'm one of those people that flail around in their chairs over plot-twists and a good scene, yep, that's me.

2. Baking/Cooking - I have to say, for the fact that baking usually means some brownie cookie related goodness, I'm a tiny bit fonder of baking but cooking a good meal from scratch is also just so satisfying, and then you get to eat it! 10/10

3. My Blog/Blogging - I really do enjoy write my blog, I quite enjoy writing in general most of the time, it's relaxing and distracts you from worries, or it does for me personal, I really enjoy reading about peoples lives and opinions and writing about my own, it's just something that makes me feel really peaceful and connected to people.

4. Late night drives with friends. - A lot of Summer was spend with friends driving, And it was so refreshing and made me so happy as we drove along dark empty roads shouting out embarrassing songs and just enjoying life.

5. Music - Music can bring out all emotional in me, but even if it's a song that makes me sad, angry or any other emotion it's just so different than feeling sadness due to life, music is just something that always makes me happy and I just can't explain why.

6. Youtube - I suppose you could say Tv shows as well near but as I spend  a lot more time watching youtube videos personally, I out that, I'm finding recently that vlogs specifically are just really interesting for me, I don't know why but I love seeing snippets of peoples lives, I love Funforlouis videos the most, they are just so uplifting and inspiring

7. Scented Candles - It feels so homely and warming when you go into a room and it smells of some of your favourite scents, Yankee candles are the best one's I've found that burn scented, My favourite is Fireside Treats! I'm gutted my halls don't allow candles.

8. My Cat Fluffy - Words cannot describe how much I love my cat, sh'es been in my life as long as I've remembered and I am not looking forward to uni being without her, Having her to cuddle when I'm sad or just feeling a bit meh has always cheered me up, she's so cute.

9. Dark Bold Lipsticks - Lipstick is definitely what I think makes a look, I really love it, but most of all I love dark colours, Red is my favourite as it's just classic and I feel like there's always a shade of red for someone, but dark reds, berrys, purples, I just love, and It's perfect for the autumn/winter season, yay.

10. Good Food ( Meals Out) - Now not to say that you can't have good homemade food because damn homemade Roasts are amazing, but there is just something a little special about having a meal out and when the food is good it's just such a good experience! I've had surprisingly a lot of meals out during August and September and all of them have left me pleasantly surprised! So It's been a very happy time for me when it comes to food... Though I've definitely been eating a little too much.. opps.

And that's that, 10 things that really just cheer me up or make me feel happy in general, What things make you feel happy?

We'll talk soon lovelies!

My Summer Essentials.

So hi...

Convenient that now I've sat down to write this post the sun seems to have hidden itself away, however I still thought I'd put this post up. When the sun hit us here in the UK I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one that got myself a arsenal of essential products to last me through the summer heat.

Suncream.
One of the most obvious ( which I ironically didn't have photographed here ) is suncream, can't be dealing with that bright red sun burn.
Sunglasses.
In line with that I have to carry round with me some sunglasses, I don't do too well in heat and I certainly don't like it blinding me, I have two pairs that I swap between, one from a cosmopolitan magazine in a cateye style and the other a rather basic pair from primark for £1.
Face Wipes.
Now don't hate me for this one! I know well the dislike for face wipes in the blogging community, however it's just something I always keep by me, sometime it's nice to refresh your hot sweaty face with a face wipe, I find it refreshes my face and that's good by me.
Dry Shampoo.
This one is quite popular for summer due to festivals and such, and although I wasn't able to go to any festival this summer (boo!) I still use dry shampoo a lot during the summer when i'm feeling hot and my hair is feeling a little lacking.
Sudocream.
So a bit more of a weird one but in summer I get bitten, a lot. My blood must be sweet because a day out near any form of grass of greener end up in a lovely load of red dots all over my legs, though this year the bugs changed it up a bit and left my whole body covered in bites. It's rather unpleasant and Itchy, so I regularly need to put sudocream on the bites to calm them. As I said, odd one but rather necessary for me.
Bright Lipstick.
In summer when I can be bothered to wear lipstick I'm all about the brights, mostly reds and orangey tones, my favourite currently is Rimmels kate moss 101 lipstick, it's just the perfect classic red for me. I think a bright lipstick can really bring together an outfit that may be quite basic due to the heat limiting an outfit creativity.
Headphones.
Last essential for me is headphones. I love listening to music especially when walking around, so for me my headphones have to be on me at all times to stop myself getting bored. I recently left my headphones at my mums by accident  and the week without them was absolutely awful.

And there you have it, my personal summer essentials this year, most of them are pretty basic ones I'd guess.
What are your top summer essentials?

Late May Favourites!

So hi...

May seemed to have gone ridiculously quick which I partially blame this on the stress induced from exams. 6 exams down and 3 to go may has been busy. Revision and exams are also why I'm posting this a few days late, forgive me!
Any way lets get down to it!

 This month was probably one of my busiest so far, I hadn't planned it to be but you know when plans just seem to pop up all of the place and stuff just gets done? that was me this month. Full of sociable outings in both the day and night and much stressing over revision, I also got productive with the blog, but that's for another post. I got to love a load of products and random non beauty things this month too, but beauty first.

 Garnier Micellar Cleansing water.
Sometime in April I picked this up hearing nothing but good things, now when it comes to make-up removal... I am mighty lazy, I always get it off just probably not as well as I should, I tend to crash after about 9pm and all my energy just disappears so this product, claiming easy make-up removal sounded perfect. AND I can say after a month of use it's amazing, it makes my skin feel lovely and refreshed and removes all my make-up with ease and without hassle, Beautiful.

Superdrug's own brand Restoring Skin Care Oil.
This is a little bit of a sensitive topic for me but I was in hospital and had operation to remove cysts when i was 13 and again last year, the first operation left awful scars and stitches that were done rather sloppy, This means my stomach doesnt look too pretty, the second time round they attempted to fix the previous scars but there is only so much that can be done. So now I am left with 6 operation scars covering my stomach and it's rather un-nerving, so i thought i would try this product just to help, and I felt like it has a lot, as I said they will be there all my life but they are less noticeable now, which is great.

Lush Bubble Gum lip scrub.
I absolutely adore this product, it smells amazing, feels amazing on my lips and once it's done its job and i'm happy, I can just lick the rest on it off my lips, how great??? I also feel like this will last me ages as a little goes a long way, I wanted this product for a good few months before I finally caved and got it but i'm so glad I did.

The Body Shop Strawberry body butter.
I'm sad to say I've run out of this product. I got it in a gift set full of a variety of strawberry scented goodies and immediately fell in love, It soaked into my skin quickly so i didn't have to awkward stand around and it lightly fragrance my body to smell of strawberries, And wo doesn't love strawberries eh??

Naked 2 Palette.
Now I'll admit straight away, this is not the real deal, I don't think as I bought it from T-mart.com for under £10! Definitely not the price tag naked is known for, It also didn't say it was the naked palette but after comparing it with swatches and seeing another blogger buy this product I thought why not. Now I can't compare it to the real naked palette as I don't own it but I have thoroughly loved this product, The pigment of the eye shadows are good and  the brush you get with it is great and soft to use as well! So worth it.

Two Faced- No Makeup Makeup.
This was another purchase from T-mart.com, however when I put this in my basket i didn't realise it would come as a two-faced product and was pleasantly surprised, I think with T-mart although there are no brand names on the site a lot of the products are if you search, that's my guess anyway. Back to the product, I bought this as a all in one palette to experiment with contour blush highlights and bronzer as I steered away from bronzer because of my paleness and had fell out of love with my cream blusher. I know absolutely adore this product, It's amazing for really polishing of my make-up look and giving it a much more natural product, I'm really interested in trying more two-faced products now as this one was just amazing.

MUA Nail Polish in Sweet peach.
There isn't much explaining for this product, I just think it's a great colour for your nails in summer, it's a lovely and bright peachy coral colour and at only £1, What's not to love?

MUA pro-base Primer
Another product I bought to try out as I always stuggle with making my make-up(mostly the base) Last for a full day and so I thought I would try a primer, and not wanting to spend loads on a product I may not like I went for MUA's primer which cost only £4. I am now converted to the magic of a primer, I feel that it makes my make-up last longer and look more flawless, I'm interested to try other primers as well, Any suggestions?

Collection Lipstick in Vintage Rose.
This lipstick has been in my bag pretty much all month, It's just a perfect 'your lips but better' colour for me as my natural lip colour is pinky, So this lipstick just brings that out. It's great whenever I'm feeling lazy or want to look nice but proper out there with a red lip, Or if I want more focus on my eyes this colour is good. Really It's just an all round good'un.

That's all the beauty related favourites, now for the more random favourites of this month.

Dark Souls.

Now this is my inner gamer coming out here but I love this game. so many of my friends hate it because it's known for it's difficulty and even says on the case  'prepare to die' but i love the challenge. I love long open games that have a lot of detail in the story and provide a lot of challenge, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and refuse to leave the game unfinished! it's a great game, I'm also looking forward to playing dark souls 2.

Phone case.

This is probably the most random but I bought this online to protect the new phone I bought about 2 months ago and now I couldn't be without it, It has two pockets on the inside that I put my college card and bus tickets in which is super useful. and Obviously it does the great job of protecting my phone!

Young Guns.

Music wise I've been really enjoying young guns, their album bones in particular. My favourite songs are 'Bones' and 'I was born, I have lived, I will surely die' I high recommend them for people to give a listen to

Sweet Potato.
I have seriously been liking Sweet potato this month, especially as chips, they are healthier and just tastes so nice! It's also nice as mash. I've been on a little healthy eating thing

My Everyday Make-up.

So Hi...

I've be feeling a lot more confident with my make-up kills recently and although I was a late bloomer with make-up I feel i'm finally quite happy with the way I do my make-up, my collection and how it looks!
And so my dear readers I thought I would show and tell you all what I use!

I don't have any High-end make up as I just don't have the money for them, not that I don't want to try so many high end products ( I blame youtube and blogs) but this is all relevantly cheap and from drugstores/the high street.

So first off I start with my concealer which I use the much loved collection lasting perfection concealer in fair 1, I use it under my eyes and in those problem areas, For my foundation I use the Rimmel match perfection foundation although I sometimes change it up this is my most used one at the moment. I then have a habit of using the concealer again if those problem area still look very er problemy?
I don't tend to use blush in the winter so i'll then just set this with the Rimmel stay matte powder.

After finishing the base I'll start on the eyes, If I'm feeling eye shadow, I'll use a really old 4 palette I've had for ages from No.7 I use the lightest colour called 'lace' in the corners of my eyes then blend out the dark brown colour 'leather' for a brown smokey eye.

 I'll then do a thin (well thats the objective but it doesn't always go like that) cat eye using the Loreal super liner perfect slim which I have repurchased and really love, I find it so easy to use! and I may use a black pencil eyeliner on the waterline.
for the lashes I'm at the moment using an impulse buy of collection 'no clumps definition mascara' And for £2.99 it's rather good, It's no clumps claim holds true and it gives good volume.

That's all for my Everyday make-up, I'll usually add a lipstick but since that changes up nearly everyday I can't pick just one! I will say it is very often a red lip. but the red lip in the photo was the Rimmel Apocolips in across the universe.

What's your everyday make-up?

We'll talk soon lovelies!
