Everyday Make Up

My last two posts have been pretty long so I thought I would do a smaller post about the make up I'm currently using on a daily basis. I have changed a few products like blush and lipstick from summer colours into autumn/winter. If I was going to wear make up to school, I would wear all the same products without the eye shadow and lipstick. Replacing the lipstick with something more natural like the maybelline baby lips. Here are the products that I am currently using!




Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25hr Foundation in "Classic Beige" 
Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in "Classic Beige"
Benefit Boi-ing in "2"
Estée Lauder tender blush in " 103 Wild Rose"
Famous Bronze Pot in "Shade 4- Bali"
Rimmel Professional Eye Brow Pencil in "Dark Brow"
Or for my eyebrows I like to use the
Benefit Brow Zings in "Deep"
Esstée Lauder eyeshadow duo in "Mocha"
Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara 
(I recently purchased this mascara and am loving it A LOT!)
Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eye liner
Rimmel Stay Matt Powder in "Warm Beige"
Lancome Juicy Tube in "Clear"

I think that both of the Esstée Lauder products I have mentioned have been discontinued, so are no longer available. 

I hope you found this little post useful. I will do full reviews on most of the products I have mentioned, however I wanted to keep this post short and sweet.

Mac brushes

Hey school work is still increasing like crazy! I recently purchased a few new mac brushes and felt like my collection was finally complete, so I've decided to show you my whole collection and the different brushes I use for different things. I do love having mac brushes as they give such a good finish, they also last for so long. I would highly recommend every brush that I am going to talk about.






187- Duo Fibre Brush- 
This is one of my favourite mac brushes! I use this in a circular motion around my face to apply my foundation. The brush gives such a natural and dewy finish, it applies your foundation in a way that does not look at all caked but like skin. As the brush gives such a natural finish only a small amount of foundation is needed to be applied all around your face, I only use half a pump when using this brush. This brush can be used for other products also like cream blushes, powder blushes and bronzer.

188- Small Duo Fibre Face Brush- This brush has the same fibres as the 187 brush. I love to use this brush when applying cream blush most as it gives a dewy finish. Applying just the right amount of blush, it also gives you complete control to where you are applying the blush. As you can see this is one the brushes I've had for the longest. 
Both duo fibre brushes shed initially.

168- Large Angle Contour Brush- 

I use this brush when applying powder blush. It is a contour but the shape glides over the apples of my cheeks, applying the blush it just the right places.

219- Pencil Brush- 
This brush is amazing for adding eye shadow to the lower lash line and inner corner highlight. This brush also creates the perfect V shape of eye shadow in the outer corner of the eye for creating a smoky look.

224- Tapered Blending Brush- 
After creating your V shape with the 219 brush, this brush blends all of your eye shadows flawlessly.

239- Eye Shader Brush- 
This brush packs on eye shadows spreading the shadow all over the eye. It also picks up just the right amount of pigment needed which minimises fall down.                     http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk/product/145/383/Products/Brushes/Eye/239-Eye-Shader-Brush/index.tmpl



263 Small Angle Brush- 
Eye liner is one of the things I find the hardest to do! However this brush makes it soo easy. As the brush is angled it makes the sharpest line in a few strokes.

217- Blending Brush- 
When blending eye shadows it can become very difficult if to much colour has been added, but the 217 brush picks up just the right amount just like the 239. The brush is just the right size for blending in the outer corners, allowing you to blend the eye shadow perfectly.


Please comment down below if you want me to go into any more detail about any of the brushes I have written about.
