Fall/Autumn Make-up Look

 So I filmed a quick makeup tutorial the other day. It's a fall/autumn makeup look with a gold eye and a bold lip. I've also used all drugstore makeup so that it's affordable for everyone. You could also wear it with a less bold lip and use it for an everyday make-up because it's so quick and easy to do.

So the first thing I do is apply my foundation. I use the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in True Ivory and used my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to blend it in to my face.

I then used the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer to cover up any blemishes I had left.

And finally for my base I used my Rimmel Clear Complexion Powder to set my foundation. I love using this powder because it's translucent so doesn't give my skin a different colour. I used my Real Techniques Buffing Brush with my powder.

 For my brows I've been using the L'Oreal Paris Superliner in Brunette 03. I love using this because I have quite defined brows anyway so I use it to fill them in slightly.

For eyeshadow I used the MUA Undress Me Too Palette which is one of my favourite make-up palettes. It only costs £4 and I must use it every day for my casual make-up. 

Firstly I put the colour Shy (1) over my lids which is a shimmery light colour for a base. I then used Devotion (2), which is a really nice gold colour, for the outside of my lids going about 3/4 of the way in. And finally I used Obsessed (3) for the crease of my eye lid to add definition.

I then used the MUA Intense Colour Eyeliner in Rich Brown to line the bottom of my lash line. I then just used a simple brush to blend it to make it look a bit more smokey. And finally I curled my lashes and used the L'Oreal Paris Volume Million Lashes Mascara which is quickly becoming one of my favourite mascaras. It works really well with my eyelashes, making them long and full of volume.

For my cheeks I used the Make-up Revolution Baked Bronzer in Ready To Go. I use this bronzer nearly everyday and for £4 it's amazing quality. And finally for highlighter I used my favourite one, the Mememe Beat The Blues Highlighter in Pearl Pink. I applied little blobs to highlight my brow bone and also on my cheekbone.

And finally for lipstick I used my new favourite autumn colour which is the Rimmel Lasting Finish Kate Lipstick in #30. It's a really pretty dark plum shade that looks amazing in autumn/fall.

So that's all the make-up I used in my tutorial, if you haven't checked the video out, watch it here!

April Favourites!

So today I woke up with every intention to film my favourites video today but I guess my body had other plans. I've got a horrible cold and my voice was sore and I looked all washed out so I decided to write a blog post from my bed instead. 

So to kick off my favourites is this skincare product.

This is the Simple Smoothing Facial Scrub and I've been using this so much recently that I've ran out. I have dry skin around my nose and this has been a god send for me, it works really well, and yeah it doesn't smell the best (abit artificial) but for me I don't really mind. I'll definitely be getting more of this this month.

Next is a hair product.

This is the Tresemme Instant Fresh Dry Shampoo.   I got this from my first ever Glossybox and I was pleasantly surprised. And I hate to admit it but I've used this a lot this month. It's been an extremely busy month and sometimes I haven't had time to even wash my hair but this is my saviour. I've used some pretty bad dry shampoos over my time but this one is great. It does get rid of grease whilst I'm in college, it smells nice and this bottle is small and so it fits nicely in handbags.

The next thing is another hair product,

This is the Body Shop Ginger Anti-Dandruff Shampoo. The flakes in the hair around my face was starting to look too noticeable and even after I'd tried Head and Shoulders it still wasn't getting any better and I found it hard to go out without a hat on. So I researched into this and couldn't find a bad thing about it. So I bought it and I still can't find anything wrong with it! I know some people don't like the smell of ginger and I thought I wouldn't like it but it's not over powering and your hair doesn't smell like ginger the next day either. I cannot recommend this enough if you have a flaky scalp!

My next product is a lip product.

This is the Rimmel London Color Rush Balm in the colour Keep Mauving. This was new this month because I wanted a change in colour and even though this looks quite brown it actually isn't.

It's actually a really nice pink colour but it's not very bright. It's so hydrating and the colour stays on my lips all day. I'm really impressed with this and I really want some more in different colours.

(They also smell like Mini Eggs!!)

My next thing is a BB cream.

This is the Rimmel London BB Cream Matte in Light. I've been wearing this a lot this month because I couldn't really be bothered with my foundation. This is apparently much better for your skin and I've had less breakouts because it's so light. The problem is that because I haven't seen the sun for a while here this colour is a bit too dark for me, even though it's Light. So if you have really pale skin I wouldn't suggest this because there isn't much choice in different shades.

My next is an eyeshadow.

This is the L'Oreal Paris Color Appeal Platinum in Raw Copper. I've only recently started wearing this colour and now it's my go to colour. I think I've been wearing it more because I think it looks amazing on green eyes and I think it matches the colour of my tips pretty well. I don't know if they still sell this product/colour so I've just linked whatever I can find.

My next thing is a nail polish.

This is the Revlon Top Speed Nail Varnish in Cloud. I think I got this in a set for Christmas which is why I can't find it in Boots or Superdrug. But this is a really pretty blue/grey and I think it suits the pastel trend at the moment so I've been wearing it a lot of my nails this month.

And lastly is a highlighter.

This is the Mememe Beat the Blues Highlighter in Pearl Pink that I got from my Glossybox. I'd had my eye on this for ages and I'm so happy that I got it in my box! It glides on so easily and it's such a lovely shimmer. The perfect liquid highlighter for me!

And they're all my April Favourites! What are some of yours?

Stay Happy!
