Makeup Medley #5

For today's look I wanted to focus on lashes and glowing skin. For my base I used a product I've been loving so much lately and this is the Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream in the shade Light. I then used Soft & Gentle Mineralize Skin Finish by MAC (review here) on the tops of my cheek bones for some added glow. For blush today I went with the Tarte 12 Hour Amazonian Clay Blush in the shade Exposed. For my eyes I stuck to just simply mascara and I went with L'Oreal Telescopic as usual! This gives me the longest lashes ever while keeping them nice and separated. Lastly for my lips I used the Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick in the shade Boy by Chanel. That's it that's all! Glowing skin and long lashes were achieved!

Another day, another simple makeup look. I swear I'm the queen of doing simple makeup in 5 minutes or less! Today I am home studying for my last final exam on Thursday and I could not be happier to almost be on summer holiday!

I first applied the L'Oreal Magic Lumi Light Infusing Primer to my skin which personally I don't find makes my base stay on any longer then it would without it...but it does provide such a lovely luminous affect that I've been craving lately! On top of that I applied the Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream which I honestly love so much! I find that it gives me the light coverage I like while still covering up any redness around my nose and cheeks. To bring some colour onto my cheeks I applied a beautiful watermelon pink blush (after I just covered up the redness...girl logic?) in the shade True Love by Tarte to the high points of my cheek bones to sculpt my face and give me a natural flush. Next I applied L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara to my top and bottom lashes - this is an amazing mascara! You can read a full review here. On my lips I applied a Revlon Lip Butter in the shade Berry Smoothie, a firm favourite lip product of mine.

Then I did a few spritzes of my forever favourite perfume, Marc Jacobs Daisy.

Now I'm all set to sit on my bed and study for my last final exam! As to why I'm wearing makeup when I'm home all day...this seemed like the best way to procrastinate!

Today I am so excited to say that I am finally meeting two fellow beauty bloggers today who have been so kind and welcoming to me since I have started my blog back in November. These lovely ladies are Celina and Alexandra!

For my base I started with the Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream - I'm using this as my primer as well as my sunscreen since it has an SPF of 30. I have the shade light and it is actually almost too dark/orange because I'm honestly so pale! It'll match me really well in a few months once I have some tan to my skin, but for now it's my primer! For my foundation I'm trialing the YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat Illuminating Foundation in the shade B10 (told you I was pale!). I'm really enjoying it so far and I find it gives such a healthy glow to my skin, I do powder between my brows as my skin naturally is slightly shiny there.

For my eyes I had to wear one of my favourite palettes at the moment which is of course the stunning Urban Decay Naked 3. I used the lightest shade Strange all over from the inner corner, eyelids, all the way to my brow bone. I then applied Burnout on my lid, Limit in my crease, and darkened my crease and outer V with Nooner. On my lower lash line I took the shade Liar on a small pencil brush and kept it close to my lash line. Then lined my upper lash line with my favourite liquid eyeliner - L'Oreal Super Slim Liner and then a light coating on my lashes of the L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara!

This past week I have fallen back in love with the Revlon Colour Stay Whipped Foundation. The shade Buff is the perfect colour for my complexion and I feel as if I've never found such a good colour match! It can be quite the thick full coverage foundation, which isn't usually my go-to choice. I've been using a small bit and blending it throughout my face to make sure it is more of a light to medium coverage. This foundation lasts ages and I can't get over how spot on the colour choice is! I bought this last year and I use it mostly throughout the winter months, and I'm sad to say the glass container is almost empty.

To set my foundation I have been using the Smashbox Halo Yellow Colour Correcting Powder, which I can't seem to find online anymore so I really hope it hasn't been discontinued. I do tend to get quite a pink tint to my skin which I'm not the biggest fan of and I find the yellow colour correcting shade of this powder sorts that out perfectly! If it is still available, I really do recommend this or a yellow powder in general. For blush it'll come as no surprise that I went with a Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush as I absoutely love these blushes! Today's blush choice was in the shade Exposed which adds the perfect subtle warmth back into my complexion.

For my eyes I primed with my Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in the shade Birthday Suit which sadly I forgot to photograph, and then I reached for my Urban Decay Naked palette and selected the shade Sidecar which is almost the exact shade as the Benefit Birthday Suit. I find layering these two together make a beautiful taupe shimmer shade without all the fallout that Sidecar has on its own. I then took the shade Virgin and placed that on my inner corners of my eyes and also on my brow bone. Then with a small pencil brush I took the shade Toasted and ever so lightly placed that under my lower lash line for a *slight* amount of colour. Then lining my eyes with my L'Oreal Super Slim 12 Hour Eyeliner and adding a light coating of Maybelline Falsies Mascara my eyes were complete.

On my lips I used my Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte lipstick in the shade Nude Beige which is number 1. I did a review of this lipstick, which was actually my second ever posting on this blog, and you can read it right here.
