Hello again!
I realise it's been a long long time since I last posted, and that's mainly because I just never have time :( But who cares, I'm here again and I've got a new post for you all. yahooo ;)
So as you can see from my title up there ^^ , this is going to be all about what I use on a day-to-day basis!
Pretty much all of my makeup that I use is drugstore, and although I switch and change around alot, this is what I've been using recently for everyday makeup!
So first off, I moisturise and prime my face using Clean&Clear dual action moisturiser and Maybelline Dream Smooth Primer. I really like the moisturiser as its oil free and I have combination/oily skin! As for the primer, its not my favourite. I use it because the bloody thing was €15 and I don't want to waste it, but in my opinion there are better primers available in the drugstore for a way better price. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
Depending on my skin that day, I'll choose between Rimmel 9in1 BB cream in light or Revlon Colourstay in Buff. If my skin is in pretty good condition I'll use the BB cream as it gives me just the right amount of coverage and stays on forever! If my skin is looking kinda shitty, then I'll reach for my holy grail foundation, Revlon colourstay! I'm sure you've all heard about the hype of this foundation and believe me, IT IS AMAZING. I apply both using a flat top kabuki! Mine is from
Blank Canvas Cosmetics, which is an amazing Irish brand!
For my eyebrows, I use the Catrice Eyebrow Set! I love this thing and mine is well and truly battered! I've had this for probably nearly a year now and although its hit pan, I'll still get another while out of it yet. It does the perfect job at defining my brows and whats even better? Its only €5 :) yaaay!
For concealer, I use Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer in Ivory (their lightest shade) for any blemishes I have and it works good enough! Not sure I'll repurchase it though as I have used better! I also use the Catrice Light Reflecting concealer for under my eyes and it just gives a really nice natural glow under my eyes. It doesn't have much coverage but I don't suffer from bad under eye circles so its not a problem for me :)
To set my makeup, I use Maybelline Fit Me powder, which I really love. Its a very fine powder so it doesn't leave you looking cakey, but it still sets my foundation and reduces shine, and giiirrrrl do I get shiny!
On to eyes! This Barry M eyeliner is just amazing! So creamy and soft yet stays in place all day! I usually tight line before mascara and sometimes apply to my bottom waterline too, but sometimes if I feel like a more natural look I use this white kohl eyeliner from Rimmel. I like this because it makes my eyes look more awake and bigger! For mascara I've been liking the Maybelline The Colossal Volume Express in 100% black and I have to say I really like it! Maybelline mascara in my opinion are amazing and not too expensive either!
So, if I feel like contouring, I always use the
Blank Canvas Cosmetics Contour Palette! I picked this up at the Irish Beauty Show at the start of March and I love it! I use the darkest shades to contour and I also like to use the others shades as a highlight, face powder and a blush! I really love this as it has so many uses and is so inexpensive but also great quality!
Finally for the lips! I'm not a big lipstick or lip gloss fan and usually only tend to use them on nights out or special occasions! So on a day-to-day basis, I usually stick to good ole' reliable carmex :) This stuff is just so lovely AND it smells so good! I have the cherry one which is just about all gone, and since I ''borrowed'' it from my boyfriend I have no idea where I can buy it in Ireland as we only seem to have the original here! :( If anybody knows, pleaaaaaseee help a girl out!
So that's it!
Again, I'm sorry for the lack of posts, I'm gonna get back to it I promise ;)
I'd much rather write blog posts everyday instead of studying for this god damn leaving cert but yeno, its gotta be done!
I hope you enjoyed and please feel free to leave me a comment or contact me with any post requests and shtuff :)
