My everyday face make up.

So yet again I have been lacking with my blog posts *sighs* but I really do want to get back into blogging. I didn't know what sort of style I wanted my blog to look like so I re-designed mine inspired by some of my favourite beauty and fashion bloggers. I haven't been wearing make up for four days, I know I'm surprised too! I noticed that I actually haven't done a beauty related post with my new camera and wanted to test it out. So after around an hour and a half of just setting my camera up and getting the right location I produced some okayish pictures and thought I'd create a post from them. 


I absolutely love Rimmel London make up products and personally I think they're one of the best drug store brands. The Rimmel match perfection foundation was a really random purchase for me, seen as I thought I fount my perfect foundation last year but I was wrong. The colour of this foundation is actually amazing and matches my skin tone perfectly ( it does what it says on the bottle!). The powder on the right is also from Rimmel and is very hyped up about in the beauty world. As you can tell I love love love this powder and have brought so many of these, every time I hit pan I almost want to cry. Is that sad at how much I love it? The powder gives amazing coverage and matify's my foundation really well. 


Next of my every day make up is eyes. This small little palette for only four pounds (yes £4!) is an exact dupe for the Urban Decay naked palette and is a fraction of the price. As you can see the palette comes with 12 beautiful and very pigmented colours. These collection of colours will give you a gorgeous natural look and will enhance your eyes! The name of the palette is called " Heaven and Earth" and when I hit pan on any one of these colours I am defiantly repurchasing it. When I use eye shadow I mainly just use one brush which is the Eco Tools eye shadow brush. I don't think you can buy this individually as I purchased mine in a set of five. This brush is so lovely and soft and so worth the money.


I love doing this part of my face and enjoy it the most, these two cheek products are a must have for me! I actually recommended one for a friend of mine saskia  who also has a blog (if you click on her name it will take you to the post she mentioned me in). This gorgeous blush is by Mua in the shade English Rose, I didn't used to like blush on me but this blush has changed my opinion. It has beautiful highlighting colours so your basically getting two products in one, however the highlight is not to over powering and give you the perfect shine. The next cheek product is my all time favourite and I brought this ages and ages ago and actually can't find it in any shops:(. I was watching a random beauty video on YouTube and she mentioned this product and she said " its not to orange or to brown it give you the right amount of colour". I totally agree with what she said and I don't use this as a bronzer I use it as a contour product.


Urg, this photograph is annoying me! I think its my ocd kicking in again haha, anyway I've only just discovered these amazing eye products and they are AMAZING! Okay going a little bit wild on the capital letters there but they really are amazing. The mascara at the top is by Avon a brand that I usually wouldn't buy because you can't try the products before you order them. But my mother was offering to treat me in the Avon magazine and I thought you can't go wrong with a new mascara! The wand on the mascara separates my lashes so evenly and adds alot of volume. Next onto eyeliners the products I either love or absolutely hate, the eyeliner shown in the middle of the picture I used to hate so so much. I can't use this product on my waterline or my upper lash line as it just doesn't look good and looks horrible on me, however I use this eyeliner on my lower lash line and it looks amazing! The last eye product is by No7 and its just a simple eyeliner however the actual eyeliner is so soft and lovely to apply.


Lips, a category that I love so much. I feel asif a lipstick or lipgloss can change your whole look. One of my all time favourite is Vaseline such a simple and easy to get hold of product that keeps my lips so smooth. Oh yes, now on to this lovely lipstick! This lipstick is part of the new Kate Moss matt collection and the colour is too die for, its in the shade 107. I actually posted a picture of the actual lipstick on instagram so ill link it HERE

I hope you enjoyed this new post and if you use any of the things I use leave a comment in the comment section. Or if you have any recommendations also leave them in the comments. I know this is a rather long post but I can ramble on for ages, I'm like a little old granny!

Example.

So yet again I haven't blogged in a while, my bad! But at the moment I have still 
been really busy and I don't really know what to blog about. Later on I'm going to sit down and just write ideas down in a note pad, because I break up from school tomorrow (15th February). If you follow me on facebook or twitter you will know I went to example on the 12th of February. It literally was the best night I have had so far in 2013! 

EXAMPLE!
Benga was the main support act, and he made the place come alive and jump haha!
 After waiting outside in a five mile line (luckily we were near the front) in the freezing cold for 45 minutes, we got really close to the front and had a perfect view. By the end of the night I figured it was a bad choice wearing my creepers, because now my feet are messed up. 

I hope you enjoyed this little blog post and I promise I will be doing some beauty and fashion related posts but I just need the time and some ideas, shannon x
