The Spring Edit | My Makeup Bag

In spring I have always loved to use lighter products, to achieve a effortless look. All the products that are in my makeup bag this spring allow me to do that and its also a look that you can achieve in about 5-10 minutes.



For my base I have kept things pretty light and simple. I like to use The Body Shop Insta Blur for my primer which helps my makeup stay on all day and smooths my skin out before putting foundation on. For foundation I love using the Rimmel London Match Perfection as it is a pretty light coverage but gives a lovely dewy finish to the skin which is what I am wanting this spring. Then to cover those dark circles and imperfections I have been using MAC Prolongwear Concealer, this concealer is very high coverage so I just use a little bit wear I need it. Then to set that all into place I just all the Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot power.

 For highlight I have been using the Benefit Watts Up highlighter which is a champagne colour and it looks so pretty dusted on top of the cheeks. For blush I am still loving the Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in 05 Lovely Pink which is a shimmery pink shade which is lovely for spring.

Throughout the year I tend to keep my eye makeup pretty simple as I love the winged eyeliner look. Lately I have been using the Topshop Magic Liner and I have been loving it! Its so easy to use and is so pigmented and stays in place all day! For mascara I am still loving the Benefit Roller Lash, I love the curl it gives my lashes and it holds the curl so well! For my brows I am still loving the Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade I just haven't found anything else as good as this!

Lastly for lips, of course as its spring I am going pink and glossy! I have been wearing the Kiko lipstick in 803 and the Maybelline Colour Elixir in the shade 705 Blush Essence both of these are lovely pink nudes which are my favourite for spring.

Hope you have enjoyed this post. Let me know what products you love for spring.

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!

ootd a day of shopping.

So today I went shopping in Lincoln and I thought I would share my Outfit Of The Day with you.

I all ways  reach for my boyfriend jacket which I got last year from New Look but there are still so many of these jackets around, I love wearing my boyfriend jacket with a chunky plaid scarf.
