Weekend Make-up Essentials


Hey Guys,

I spent the weekend at my mom's house and thought I would show you what I took with me in my make up bag.
Firstly my bag is the Free bag that came with my Hugo Boss perfume I got for my birthday. It is the perfect size to carry everything in and it looks great.

For brushes I have a spectrum A05 brush that came free with a Birch-box, I use it for my bronzer to lightly contour my face. I have the Real Techniques Buffing brush which I use for my powder and the Real Techniques Contour brush which I use for highlight.The Real techniques base shadow brush for eyeshadow and the Real Techniques Brow brush for my brows. I also have a Front Cover Fluff and Buff brush that I have have had for years, I use it for eyeshadow.  I also have a cheap spoolie for my brows. I have two beauty sponges that I got from Primark. One is used for foundation and the other is used to blend my concealer.

I have a beautiful half full eyeshadow palette from Makeup Obsession in Boots. I got this for Christmas last year and it is engraved with a special message for me.  The colours in there were chosen by my boyfriend and I think he did a fantastic job. I also have my brow powder in there in the bottom corner. 


My three go to Mascaras are Natural Collection Definition Mascara. I love the applicator it has and how the mascara coats every lash with it. I use two Maybelline Mascaras, the first is Classic Volum' Express Waterproof. I use this a sealing coat to protect my mascara from everything. When I feel like having a bolder lash I use the Maybelline Lash Sensational Luscious with oil blend. This makes my lashes look thicker and longer, definitely more dramatic. My go-to powder to set my make up is Mineral Magic. It has coloured pigments in it that correct any impurities in the skin. I love it and it helps my make up stay on for the day.                                      


 I have a beautiful go to bronzer from Revolution that is very pigmented and has a little bit of shimmer in it, it gives you a healthy glow. My highlighter of choice is MUA Undress your skin, it gives such a beautiful shimmer and can be both subtle or outstanding. My concealer of choice is Rimmel London, Hide the blemish. I love this concealer for under the eyes as it is very brightening but it also covers any blemishes very well. On bad skin days it can be quite drying but as long as you put on some moisturizer and a primer it is great. My foundation of choice is the Clinique Even Better Glow. I am going to do another post as to why this is my favourite foundation soon. So keep your eyes peeled for it.


                                                                                                                                                               

What is your beauty must-have?

Thank you x

21st Birthday- How I Got Ready

Image
Hi, guys, it’s official since September 23rd, I am 21!! For this birthday, I had no idea what was happening, my boyfriend and his family met up with my family and spoke in secret around me for over a month trying to make the day special for me. I can say now that it has been the best birthday I have ever had. But before the day I spent some time getting myself ready so I knew I looked photo ready. I did my nails, hair, really took care of my skin, changed my diet, and chose a special outfit.  I did my nails like this because I wanted something different and special. I wanted them to be noticeable against my outfit as well as to match them. I used Rimmel London 60 second shine in 800 black out and Super gel by Kate in 012 Soul Session. For extra detailing, I also used Kiko Milano Smart fast dry nail lacquer in this beautiful copper colour. I prepped my hair the week before with Percy and Reed Wonder Overnight Recovery, this made my hair feel amazing it completel...

Ant's Birthday Cake

Image
Mmmmm, How delicious does that cake look? Trust me it does taste delicious too. Hey, This is my Boyfriend's birthday cake, it took me about 4 hours to make and decorate. But it was worth it because he loved it and so did everyone else. I definitely cheated when it came to making this cake. I wanted to make him a cake I knew he was going to love. He loves chocolate fudge cake, so I thought this is similar so I'll give it a try. This cake is a  Betty Crocker  Devil's Food cake mix. It can be bought from any super market and only requires 3 ingredients to make the cake. To make Ant's cake I wanted four layers so I bought two boxes of cake mix and followed the instructions on the box to make them. I them cut the cakes in half and waited for them to completely cool. My future sister-in-law makes the best buttercream icing I have ever tasted in my life so I asked for a helping hand on that. She mixed icing sugar and butter together with a splash of milk to creat...
