Spring Make Up | Peach Loving

When it comes to my go to spring make up look I always find my self reaching for peach and pink tones. So I thought I'd share some of my favourite peach and pink tones that I love for a peachy glowy look in the spring time.

I can't do a post going on about peach makeup without mentioning the Sweet Peach collection from Too Faced can I? Everyone probably already knows how much I love this palette by now and I think both the eye shadow and the cheek palette are perfect for spring. I love the whole peach eye look and glowy skin at the moment and it's perfect for spring!

I also really love using pink lipsticks in the spring time and two of my favourites are Angle and Cremecup from Mac. I love Mac lipsticks but I haven't brought any new ones in ages, so do you guys have any recommendations on ones I need? As well as pink lipsticks I also love peachy glosses and this one from Chanel is beautiful; its in the shade 179.

Hope you all enjoyed todays post and I'll see you in my next one!

Holy Grail | My Perfect Base

I feel like I have tried so many different foundations since I first started wearing foundation (starting with that weird Maybelline Mousse foundation that everyone seemed to use at school, but lets move on from that) I feel like I'm always trying out different foundations so in this post I have included the base products in which I always go back to so these are my holy grail base products!

Starting with primer, one of my holy grails which I actually forgot to photograph is the Benefit Porefessional Primer  I always end up going back to the Benefit primer, it is great for smoothing over the skin and of course filling in those pores! As well as the Porefessional I have also been loving the Mac Prep+Prime Skin Base Visage this is more of a new holy grail for me but I have been going back to this over my Benefit primer so it must be good? I love the primer from Mac as it evens out the redness in my skin and also adds a glow to my skin as it has flecks of shimmer in the primer, it is also great for helping my foundation stay on and making my foundation apply smoothly.

Finding the perfect foundation has always been something I've found hard to find, but I feel like I've found two foundations now which I will always want to have in my collection. The Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation, this foundation is very lightweight but offers a medium coverage but you can build it up to a fuller coverage which I really like. I like the way this foundation feels on my skin and the coverage it gives. Another foundation which I love is the Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation      I sometimes get really dry skin and a lot of the time foundations tend to cling to the dry patches but the Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation does not do that which is great! This foundation is a medium coverage but can be built up to create a fuller coverage. It leaves a dewy finish which I have been liking over a matte finish at the moment. I find the foundation has a long wear out of it.

I have 2 concealers which I always go back to and they are the Mac Prolong Wear and Collection Lasting Perfection. I love the Mac Prolong Wear concealer as it is so full coverage and a little goes a long way with this concealer it is great for covering blemishes and dark circles although I find it creases under my eyes but I am yet to find a concealer which does do that! For a drugstore concealer the collection lasting perfection concealer has great coverage and I usually use it to coverage any blemishes and I also use it to go round my eyebrows to make them more defined.

To set everything in place my favourite powder of all time has got to be the Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot powder. I have loved this powder for years and I can't even remember how many of these I have repurchased. It helps to set everything in place whilst also making the skin matte. I still use this when I want a dewy finish buy using a light hand and adding it in places where I am likely to get to much shine.

Woooah that turned out to be a really long post! You guys should let me know in the comments what your holy grail base products are as I'm always on the look out for new products to try! Hope you enjoyed this post and I am enjoying getting into blogging again! See you soon.

The Perfect Lip Combo | Mac

If you have read my blog for a while now you will know I am a lover of pink nudes and sometimes I feel like thats all I go on about but I have finally jumped on a bandwagon which I should of jumped on ages ago and got my self Mac's lip liners in the shade 'Soar'. I have seen everyone raving about this for months as I think if I'm right its one of the shades that Kylie Jenner wears.

The lipliner pairs so well with my all time favourite Mac lipstick Brave and I have been wearing this combo most days now and I love it! I love using the lipliner as I can define my lips just that little bit more and I find my lipstick lasts so much longer! If you are looking for a new pink nude lip combo I would recommend you try this one out!

Hope you enjoyed todays post I will see you in my next one!

Summer Essentials | Collab with That Girl in Wonderland

As we are nearing towards summer now I thought I would share some of my summer essentials with you all. This is a collab with the lovely http://thatgirlinwonderlandx.blogspot.co.uk so make sure you check her post out as well!

My first summer essential is The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Moisture Lotion I love this moisturiser for the summer as it has an SPF of 15 and it't really important to wear SPF on your face especially in summer. I love this moisturiser as it is really light weight and leaves my skin really smooth and hydrated. This moisturiser is especially good if you have sensitive skin as it have Aloe in it so its soothing. My second summer essential is also from The Body Shop and its their Honey Bronzer I have it in the shade 01. I have talked about this bronzer loads as it is one of my favourite all time bronzers. This bronzer is great if you have pale skin and are wanted that skin kissed look without looking to orange! I cannot get enough of this bronzer.

My next two summer essentials are both lip products. The first being MAC Costa Chic Lipstick I have always loved a coral lip in the summer and this lipstick has got to be my go to coral. It is a frost finish so it is more matte on the lips but I really like that look which this shade. This lipstick also stays on for ages which is great for those long summer days. My next go to lip option is the L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Extraordinaire in the shade 201 Rose Symphony. This shade is a glossy pink/coral which is lovely for summer. I love wearing this with a tan!

My last summer essential is the Catrice All Round Up Waterproof Mascara. I love this mascara as it is water which is great for the summer but it also holds the curl and just makes my lashes look so long and full which is everything I want in a mascara.

Hope you have enjoyed this post. Remember its a collab so check out the lovely that girl in wonderland's post! http://thatgirlinwonderlandx.blogspot.co.uk

Adding a Touch of Colour

I know adding colour to your make-up can seem scary sometimes but I think by adding a touch pink it can brighten the whole look up, as we are coming into spring I love adding a little more colour to my make-up.

Eyes
When doing my eye make-up I don't tend to go too crazy on the pink side of things but I do like the use the Maybelline Color Tattoo in 65 - Pink Gold. The colour tattoos are great for using as a base or on their own, they are also really quick and easy to use as you can apply with your fingers and also blend it out with your fingers. When wearing the colour tattoo I like to add a matte brown shade to the crease of my eye just to add some definition.

Cheeks
Adding a hint of pink blush can really brighten up your whole look without going over board on the pink. To add that hint of pink to my cheeks I have been using the Essence Blush-Up in the shade 20 - Pinky Flow. I love wearing this blush as you can use the lighter or darker pink or just swirl them together, this blush also has a little bit of simmer in it so you get a nice glow to your cheeks. The second blush I love to reach for when looking for something pink is Posie Tint from Benefit, I love using this as it adds a lovely pink tint to the cheeks and also makes the skin look really dewy.

Lips
I have been loving pink lips lately to brighten up my look. I haven't been going for a 'Barbie' pink I've been going for a softer pink, I think this looks so much better than that bubble gum pink colour. I have been using the NYX lipliner in the shade 839 - Dolly Pink paired with a lipstick from Mac in the shade Snob these go together so nicely.
When I'm wanting more of a gloss I have been reaching for my Tanya Burr Lipgloss in the shade Picnic In The Park, I love how glossy this is and these lip glosses smell amazing! The lipgloss I have found myself reaching for the most is from Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque in the shade 02 - Rosé on the rocks I think these are a new release from Bourjois. It is the perfect pinky colour to brighten your look up it adds that lovely glow to lips and also is really hydrating!

All Things Pink

I am a lover of pink lipstick, well anything pink in that matter but anyway I thought I would do a post on some of my favourite pink lipsticks. I would normally go for more of a pink/nude than might pink but if I am feeling daring I may go for a brighter pink such as.. Tease from Topshop; I really like this bright pink as it is matte so I feel like it is a look more flattering for my complexion as I am very pale,  yes I am still extremely pale even though it is summer but I would not say there is much chance of getting a very good tan in England!

Another one of my most favourite lipsticks is Snob by Mac, so many people seem to love this shade. It's a really pretty pink but isn't to bright, it seems to be just the right pinky shade for me. Snob is a Satin finish lipstick so it has a little bit of a shine to it but nothing super glossy; I do sometimes want to make it a little bit more glossy so I like to add a light pink lipstick other the top of it!

Another one of my all time favourite pinks isn't really a lipstick but it is in fact a chubby stick, I am a big fan of chubby sticks especially the Revlon Colour-Burst ones! I have the shade 105 which is a Lacquer Balm, in this Revlon chubby stick range they have matte ones swell as lacquer ones! I really like the lacquer balms are they are really glossy. The shade I have is a pale pearly pink, which is really pretty and looks lovely with a smokey eye.

It is also one of them lip products that is really easy to apply as in if you quickly need to touch it up you can do it without a mirror, or if you are in a rush you can just slap it on and you are good to go!

Okay I think that enough about pink lipsticks for today! Thanks a lot for reading this post.

My Mac Quad

Lately I have been getting fed up of having to carry around my big pro palette so I decided to go into mac and get the Quad pro palette. I find it so much easier for travelling having a quad instead of carrying around 15 eye shadows when I'm probably only going to use 3 or 4 of them.

The colours I have in my quad are Orb, All That Glitters, Omega and Mulch. As you can see Orb and Omega are matte. I like to use Orb as a base colour or as a highlight on my brow bone or in the inner corner of my eye, I really like orb because it isn't too much of an intense highlight but it still does the job. I use Omega to fill in my brows, it comes in really handy being able to have my brow colour in with my eye shadows because then it's one less product for me to have to have in my makeup bag.  The next two colours have a little bit of simmer/glitter in them. All That Glitters is probably one of my all time favourite MAC shades, well I think everyone loves it! It is just really simple, you can just put it all over your eye and then you are done! But say if you want a bit more definition you could add Mulch into the crease or outer corner of the eye to make it more smokey. Also Mulch is a really nice shade to put all over the eye lid and then smoke it out at the edges, it works really well for a simple and quick smokey eye.

I feel as if this is the perfect quad for me, it makes it so much easier having my eyeshadows in one place and in such a compact way. It's the perfect size when travelling and for my make up bag!

hope you enjoyed this post.
