Everyday Face

I am really enjoying my make up routine at the moment. You know when you find products that just work for you every application - I'm there right now. These are my main products minus an MUA Black eyeshadow but I mean seen one black eye shadow, seen them all really.

I'm loving a dewy finish to my skin right now & was a massive Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum user until I decided to branch out & try the Rimmel 'Wake me up' Foundation (200 Soft Beige) which is a gorgeous foundation, maybe nicer than the Bourjois...

The Lasting Perfection concealer I use on any blemishes & the Bourjois as a little extra coverage on my cheeks & under my eyes. I set it all with the Healthy Mix powder which is alright but I doubt I will be repurchasing. Blush is normal either Nars 'Deep Throat' or Rimmel 'Smoked Oyster' both beautiful colours & consistencies. I contour & if I remember highlight with my Sleek kit in light.

I lightly fill in my brows with the MUA Blonde pencil & then line my eyes with Inika eye pencil I got free in a magazine, it is a gorgeous charcoal grey-black that set with black shadow looks nice & smokey & smudgey. I finish with Rimmel 'Extra Wow Lash' mascara applied with the wand from YSL shocking mascara.

The YSL is my favourite mascara of all time but a little pricey for me, I have found however that the wand works amazingly well with other mascaras.

The Stash

Whenever I get my hair done I go for a post haircut trip to the Boots hair department. It is tradition. I somehow feel that a new hair cut & colour requires new hair products - method to my madness somewhere, I am sure. Nevertheless this post hair dresser trip resulted in my repurchasing the purple shampoo & conditioner I used the first time I got my hair bleached - the Lee Stafford Bleach Blondes range - and getting some VO5 Miracle Concentrate. I had wanted some Moroccan Oil but it is just so darn expensive, I have heard good things about this so thought why not!

I thought COllection 2000 was on 3 for 2 - it wasn't but I got the heavy duty concealer I 100% need right now, the Healthy Mix concealer just isn't cutting the mustard on my dot-to-dot complexion right now. I got the Sheer Loose Powder as my Healthy Mix powder is a little too dark for tan that has faded sort of days. The troubles of a false tanner!

The shorts were a 'I don't really need these but I want them & will wear them so why not' sort of buy. They weren't too expensive at £22.99 so can't complain really!

Seeing as I looked ghastly in the picture of my new hair yesterday, here is a little snap shot from today ... I always think your hair is better the day after a cut. When you've been able to style it yourself. Don't get me wrong my hairdresser has never, ever done anything I haven't been more than happy with but I like messing about with it myself. So here it is... the new do!
