D is for Daily.

18:30


Ever since I started my blog, makeup has been pretty much the main topic, along with a tiny bit of daily life, advice or fashion related content. This year I could probably count on one hand the amount of times I have sat down and done a creative, more "involved" full face of makeup. 
Maybe the reason for this, is because I am more confident in my skin seen as I don't get as many breakouts and if I do, they aren't as harsh (touch wood) or simply because I don't find the time to want to do so. 
Today I thought I would share with you the very few products I use on my face on an absolute daily basis and that I have been loving this year and even some products from last year that I still use. 

After hunting everywhere for a VIVO Beauty Balm and not finding one anywhere I decided to give in and give a different product a try, and I opted for the Maybeline Fit Me foundation. This is a water based light coverage (but enough coverage) foundation that I just love, and I honestly couldn't recommend it enough. It is a perfect day-to-day foundation as it is light weight, medium coverage and it has really good lasting power. 

Technic ever so kindly sent me a box full of goodies last year and the brow kit is still hanging in strong, I cannot live without it! Using one of my little angled brushes I apply a light coat of either the tinted wax or the powder (depending on the look I am going for) and then I apply the W7 Queen of brows to hold them in place for the day, and I am good to go! 


To cover up the hefty baggage under my eyes, I use my trusty old Rimmel Match Perfection, setting this in place with the Technic loose powder which I drop most of the product every time I go to use it seen as I have the most jelly-like hands in my house and then I just add a little bit of my non-gunky Essence "All Eyes On Me" mascara, and voila, done! 

All this can honestly take me five minutes if you catch me in a rush, I know - who would've thought it? Last year you wouldn't see me within at least 40 minutes if I said I was going to get ready for the day.

W7

18:00

          W7 is a very affordable makeup brand that reached out to me and sent me a few of their products that I thought I could share with you today along with all the other W7 products I already own.

          As I already said, W7 is very affordable but also very good quality. One of my most used palette's this summer and one on which I uploaded various tutorials is actually the In the mood W7 palette. 


Here are the few products I received. 


          Viva la berry lipstick in the colour Blackberry. 
The intense colour in this festive lipstick is beautiful and I can't wait to try this out and plan out some tutorials. 


          The Lashtastic 'blackest black' mascara. 
          Mascara's aren't a think that I range in or a product I have tried out at its best. This meaning I only stick to my beloved Rimmel and Essence ones so without a doubt I will get back to you with a little review on this.


Kiss me plumping gloss:

          I was ever so exited when I saw this in my P.O box as I have never ever tried out a plumping gloss as rare as that may or may not seam so I will have to try this out along side the Viva la berry lipstick! 


The queen of brows mascara.
          Brow gel is my 'thang' I swear by it ever since I purchased my Loreal brow artist plumper earlier this year (which is amazing) and it is really the only thing I ever wear on my brows. 


         So these are all my W7 products I own until today and my In the mood palette is still a travel essential, it is so practical and amazing.

         Have you ever tried out W7? If so, what are your thoughts upon the brand? Xx

Easy & cheap drugstore makeup look.

21:49



Last Tuesday I was playing around with my makeup (as usual) when I came up with this look that I really liked and it was really easy to achieve so I thought I would share it with you!


To start of, and I'm not quite sure why I did it this way round, I used my ASTRA concealer to prime my eyes and then went straight in with the eye shadow. Using my Makeup Revolution London 'What are you waiting for?' palette and I applied the colour 'Take a chance' to my lid, and then applied a tiny bit of 'sex chromosome' to the crease and blended these together with my UD  brushes. For my lashes I used my Rimmel Scandaleyes mascara and applied the 'Normal' lashes from Primarni (aka, Primark).

Then I applied my holy grail foundation from Rimmel and I buffed this in with my Urban Decay foundation brush.


To my messy (horrible) brows, all I did was brush through them with my Loreal brow artist plumper.

Then to finish off I used my Minnie bronzer in the colour Terracotta and the W7 blush in the colour Galactic.

My everyday makeup essentials.

18:27

[SORRY FOR THE SHAKY HAND CUT OUTS]

I've been wanting to write this post for a couple of weeks but I've never really got down to it so here goes. 
These are the few essentials I use for my everyday makeup. 
I'm sorry I missed out the eyeliner but I swap between three: either the Deliplus liquid eyeliner, the P.S Love one from primark (It is GREAT and long lasting, especially with a bit of primer) and the Deliplus felt tip one.

First of all, brush wise I use these traveling size Urban Decay brushes, as you can tell I dropped the foundation brush and broke the handle and I have not yet fixed that, oops! I love these brushes because they are very soft and easy to take in your makeup bag due to there size, I have a collection of a total 12 of these brushes, but these are the four I most use.

Then, I use this colourful Bobby Pin fluffy brush to apply my blush, I'm not sure if this is the right thing to use (probably not) but I'm not a professional and for that you shouldn't take much of my advice aboard.


To blend in my concealer I use my Beauty Blender and as you can tell by the colour of it I have been loving it, I was going to wash it before taking these photos but I just thought that would be quite fake and unrealistic and at least as it is it looks loved.


Moving on, my in the mood pallete from W7 has become my favorite everyday nude palette, I actually did a review a couple of weeks ago about it and I have just fallen more and more in love with it since then! I think the thing I love the most about this palette is the fact that the colours are matte and neutral but make a lovely day to day look and they are super easy to apply, long lasting and very pigmented even at the end of the day, basically everything you want your makeup to be. 


Foundation wise, my rimmel match perfection wake me up foundation is my holy grail foundation and I have used it for a very long time now. It isn't a massive cover-up foundation, but like nearly all, you can build it up to be one. I apply this along side my rimmel match perfection concealer and highlighter, this is my first time using this concealer and I really like it so far and I will definitely be buying it again. 

The bronzer I've been loving is this 2,50 one I again hyped about in a post a couple of weeks ago, I use it as more of a contour than a bronzer and although the tone is very dark and scary, it blends into a very nice tanned color.


As I have been loving the W7 products, I thought on trying out their blusher to give a bit of colour to my cheeks and I got this one in the tone Galactic and now it has an everyday use.


Mascara wise I use my deliplus maxi volume mascara, at first it was a bit tricky to get used to but now I have the hang of it I really like it and it gives me some incredibly long lashes. 


Lastly, brow wise I don't do much, all I use is this Loreal brow artist plumper and I think it is really good alternative if you want to do something to your brows and keep them in place but don't want to go full out and color them in.


These are all the products I use on my day-to-day, what are some of yours?

W7 In The Mood Palette Review.

21:26






Whilst browsing through Primor aka my new favorite shop ever, I came across a section full of W7 products and I directly fell in love with the simplicity and colors of this palette. It is a small tin palette with mate nude colors in it and very very similar to the Nude palettes but the thing is, it only cost me 4 euros. I know, its unbelievable and totally worth it, I promise. The thing is, I thought that if you love the Naked Palette colors, like obviously anyone would, but you aren't a massive makeup person and your not in the hype and you don't just want to by the Naked palette for the sake of collecting them (like I do) I really think you can achieve the same or REALLY similar look to a Naked Palette with a couple of these W7 palettes if not one.
W7 have a massive range of cheap products and bigger palettes both shimmers and mattes and I totally recommend them to anyone who wants to try out makeup or just simply doesn't want to spend all of their pocket money on a Urban Decay Palette.
My two favorite colors in this palette are Wink and Katie (this one is very similar to Tease out of the Urban Decay's Naked 2 Palette) and I also really like how Cargo (Similar to Naked 2 Blackout) looks with these two colors in the crease.
Today's question is, what cheap makeup products do you recommend me to try out?Xx
