My Everyday MakeUp

Hey guys,

I'm here today to show/explain to you how I do my everyday make up. I like wearing strong brows, brown, very smokey eyes and uniform looking skin ( not completely flawless but nice and even). So let's get started.

I started off with a freshly washed and toned faced and I apply my NIVEA OIL FREE MOISTURISING DAY CREAM.  At this point my face looks extremely attractive and flawless (not).

Then I apply my MAYBELLINE BABY SKIN PORE MINIMISER and my RIMMEL MATCH PERFECTION FOUNDATION in 010 LIGHT PORCELAIN with a flat top foundation brush from COASTAL SCENTS.  I apply a pump of foundation on my brush, blend that all over my face and then add half a pump and blend that mainly on my cheeks where I need more coverage and my neck so that it matches my face.

Then I apply my MAKEUP REVOLUTION CONCEALER in FAIR. I apply it under my eyes, around my nose and on any big imperfections. I blend my concealer in with my fingers and then just use my foundation brush to finish off the blending. 

Then I powder my face with the MAKEUP REVOLUTION PRESSED POWDER in TRANSLUCENT ( I actually don't agree with the statement that it's translucent and I plan on on repurchasing the RIMMEL STAY MATTE pressed powder since it is translucent and it keeps me matte for much longer, this is just what I have at the moment). Then I contour my face with a Maybelline bronzer which I don't know the specific name or colour of as they rubbed off :/. To finish off I apply the MAKEUP REVOLUTION BLUSH in NOW! to the apples of my cheeks.

Then  proceed to do my brows. I'm currently testing out the brow kit from MAKEUP REVOLUTION in DARK and so far I'm loving it. I use the wax and the two darker shades. My brows look quite in your face without any eye makeup on so don't get too put off.

Then I use some sort of a neautral palette and create a strong, brown smokey eye. I'm currently use the MAKEUP REVOLUTION FLAWLESS PALETTE. I started off by applying the shade ALMOST THERE into my crease(s) and under my eye(s) with a big, fluffy blending brush. Then with a small blending brush I applied MOLTON CHOCOLATE in my very crease(s) in sort of a cat-eye shape and then blended out the edges with the big fluffy brush I used previously. Next I applied LOWLITE to the center of my lid(s) and HIGHLITE in the inner corners. 

 Then  just apply my NYC pen eyeliner in black and my NYC BIG BOLD mascara in EXTRA BLACK (which is running out and I'm need of buying a new one so it doesn't look as good/impressive as it usually does).
I finish off by applying my CARMEX lipbalm and that's me done.

Here's the finished look. I hope you enjoyed this post and see you in my next one.

July Primark Haul

Hey guys!

Long time, no post. I hope you're all doing well. I got a job and I've been busy hence no posts. However I could not pass up on the opportunity of showing you all my finds from Primark. I hope you enjoy and I apologise in advance for the obscene amount of selfies, however I wanted to show you the clothes on me, rather than just laid out.

Fistly I bought this bowler  (?) hat from H'n'M for £7.99. You'll see it in the upcoming pics and I bought it on the same trip so I thought I'd include it in this post.   

 First thing from Primark is a bikini. The pattern is not completly my style but I loved the cut as the bottom is slightly high-waisted and neither of the parts is skimpy. I prefer bikinis like this as I feel like they are more flattering on me and I feel less self concious in them.

Top : Size 10 : £8
Bottom : Size 12 : £5

 Next up I bought a few things from Primark. When I was browsing the tops I saw nothing that I liked and I realised that I'm not a top person. I prefer simple, plain tops or cool sweatshirts and t-shirts rather than the sheer blouses, fancy crops and g*d knows what else. So I opted for  3 vest tops one in blue, lilac and white all for £2 each.  I figured they'd go with pretty much anything.
I also bought the Kimono. I really liked it's Aztec style print and it's affordable price since I wasn't too sure about the kimono trend so I figured cheap is good. Now that I own it I think that it looks awesome and I think that it will become a staple in my summer wardrobe. It's only downside is that the inside is not printed so it doesn't look the best when it pops out :( However for the price I don't really think I can complain

The shorts I picked up from ARK not Primark but like the hat it was on the same trip so I'm including them. I got them on sale and they were the last pair. I think that they're very flattering as the cover the thickest part of my thighs thereby making my legs appear slimmer. They are also very comfortable unlike the denim shorts I bought from H'n'M a couple of months back. I cannot walk or sit in those comfortably but these don't cause discomfort. They were originally £30 but I got them for a bargainous £12.

Kimono : Size 12 : £8
Vests : Size 12 ( I wanted them loose) : £2 each
Shorts : ARK : Size 12 ( loose fit) : £12

 Next, I picked up this paisley print  maxi skirt. On the picture above I'm wearing it back to front but I preferred having the slits show off my legs, making the skirt a bit more flirty. The elastic in the skirt is quite stretchy so I could have gotten away in picking it up in a size 8 however due to my height (I'm 5ft9 ) it would have been to short so I opted for size up from my normal size.

Skirt : Size 12: £10

The subsequent item that I picked up was this beautiful baby blue, faux leather jacket. It's an alternative for the same style jacket from ZARA that is sold for a whopping £90 and is apparently quite stiff and uncomfortable. This jacket is lovely and soft and very flattering. I think it'll be perfect for cooler summer days, nights and early autumn. They also had this jacket also in baby pink ( which I was considering buying, but I already have a leather jacket in that colour  and blue is less seasonal than pink), grey and I think white. Maybe some more. I considered the getting the grey jacket since it can be worn year round but it had fugly yellow-gold zippers which made it look tacky and cheap :/ So far I'm very pleased with my choice ;)

Jacket : Size 12 : £25

In addition to the vests, I picked up this plain, two colour t-shirt. I think that it looks really good tied up as the white makes it appeared more detailed. 

T-shirt : Size 10 : £2 ( originally £5)

Next up I bought this dress. It was paired with similar to the ones I'm wearing and I kimono and I thought it was the coolest outfit ever. So I bought it ;P It has beautiful open back which makes it quite flirty but I couldn't get a decent picture of it. If I do I'll make sure to post it. The only downside of it is that the waist is not stretchy so no room for food babies :/

Dress : Size 10 : £12

I also picked up this beauty. I don't even have words for how much I adore this dress. It's so feminine, flowy and classy and I think I'm gonna wear it for my birthday this year which is in just over a month's time. They had this in colours like baby-blue, white, peach, lilac and many others. I'm considering going back and picking it up in another colour. 

Dress : Size 8 : £10 (!!!)

I also picked up this pair of funky gingham high waited pants. I thought they were really fun. The thing is they're supposed to be ankle grazers and they're pretty far up from my ankles. #TallGirlProbz I think I can get away with it. They're soft and stretchy and in my eyes, simply cool. 

Pants : Size 12 : £13

Now for the show stealers, these beautiful sand coloured booties. They are the perfect year round shoes (at least in England) and they give a festival-esque feel to any outfit. Simply in love.

Booties : Size 6 ( wide fit but I wear normal fit, that's just where I fond them) : £18

I also picked up this cute pink bag. I think it'll be a good summer alternative to my small, black River Island bag. 

Bag : £6

 The last thing that I bought was this awesome flower crown. It makes me go into my Lana Del Rey mode, whom I love <3 Perfect summer accessory , and a perfect end to my post. See you in my next one.

Flower crown/ headband : £4 ( bit dear, especially for Primark but I couldn't resist)
