Fairy makeover

She came back over with lots of super super gorgeous things so I was so excited. She prepped me with strobe cream which is used to brighten and enhances the effect of light on the skin! So I looked all glowy and I really liked the finish to it - I think in the summer if your skin was clear you could could get away with that alone!

Next we started off with a concealer to cover any little blemishes and darkness under the eyes, she picked out the mineralise concealer for me - I am not sure of the shade but I must admit I wasn't wowed by it and I didn't think the coverage was as good as the collection 2000 lasting perfection but it was nice to have on for the day 

Then my foundation, and omg it is just the most amazing product I have ever used or seen or anything. It was the MatchMaster spf 15 foundation in shade 1.0 and it is a perfect match for my skin - it offers really good coverage and still makes me look glowwy!! Pure perfection 

For my cheeks she used a gorgeous highlighter that was so pretty and shimmery and it was very pretty but I cant find it on the website to show you a picture!! She also used a bronzer in shade golden and it is perfect not to obvious but a good contourer and adds a nice amount of colour to my cheeks!

Then onto my eyes and this was by far my favourite part of the makeover and they looked massive and not so boring and shiny and *sigh* I loved it!

So for the base we used the 'Bare Study' paint pot which was an almost rose gold shine 

Then to highlight we used 'shroom' which in person is a white gold shimmer not a purple like it looks in the picture.. It is such a cute highlighter and makes you look far far more awake and your eyes look far wider

 And then for definition we used 'Omega' and it is perfect. I think it is a colour that would suit every one under the sun, it doubles as an eye brow filler and eye liner! She used it for extra definition 

Then I had a really thin line of eye liner to thicken my lash line in shade 'black track' 

For my actual lashes she used studio fix lash which is really good for making lashes splay out and as I have so many they tend to stick together so it was amazing  

And to finish off for my lips I specifically asked for a nudey pink lip so that it was wearable and not overly showy! She found me the perfect colour which is 'creme cup' 

So that concludes it! I specifically asked for a school look that I know I could doll up for a particular event! I think it matched the brief perfectly and received many a compliment when wearing the look! I ended up buying the foundation, the omega eye shadow, the bronzer and lipstick. I am planning on getting the mascara this weekend and Geogria was so sweet and decantered me a massive lump of the paint pot as she knew I couldn't really afford to buy anything else!!

Check out the products as they were all lovely!

Lots of Love

We love a nice perfume

Hello Travellers!

Thought I would get the blog moving by doing a proper post about my personal favourite scents (as in perfume and body spray etc).

So here goes...!

I have two main perfumes which I alternate between depending on where I am and what I feel like wearing. The first one is Vera Wang's "Glam Princess":

The bottle is not my favourite, I'll admit it does a look a bit tacky however I love the little crown cap.

It's probably got the strongest scent out of the perfumes I own - it's quite sweet, fruity and musky at the same time. It does fade quite quickly which is nice in a way because then it's a little more subtle, though probably not the most useful trait for a perfume to have.

The second one I wear is Marc Jacob's "Daisy":

This is such a popular perfume - If you don't own it I bet someone you know does! It is quite expensive (like most perfumes) but having said that it is so worth it as the scent stays for ages and the bottle is beautiful, it looks so pretty on a dressing table. It's a more floral one with a hit of musk and the strength is perfect. I am yet to meet someone who has said they don't like the smell of this!

When on-the-go perfume bottles are not the most handbag friendly items. BUT I have found a product which solves this problem! The company "Crazylibellule and the poppies" have invented perfumes on a stick and after doing some googling it appears they have lots of scents. I own "Les Divines Alcoves Amoureuse In Love":

It is so tiny (and therefore cute) and the packaging is so beautiful.. and according to my research you can buy it on amazon, but I bought mine in a little boutique shop quite a long time ago.

It looks a bit like a large lipbalm, and you apply it the same way (though to your wrists... not your lips!) and it smells so so nice, floral, but not over the top, it's quite rosy.

I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for something portable.

The last scent I use is a body mist. It's from PINK in a range called "PINK with a splash" and I believe there are quite a few avaliable. This is the one I own:

It's really girly yet subtle smell, quite nice to put on if you've just got out of the shower I find. It's sort of fruity floral and I love it however I prefer actual perfume to body mists, so I don't get that much use out of it.

So there you have it, hope you've enjoyed the first proper post (if you've managed to reach the end) and keep your eyes out for more!

Love,

Minka
