Everyday Makeup ; Summer Edition

This summer, I've grown more fond of makeup for some weird reason... It could have something to do with buying The core collection real technique's brushes (Review coming soon).

They're amazing, and well , being my first brushes i own, i was kind of super excited to use them for everything! hence, wearing more make up!

After so much experimenting, i finally found a nice daily routine that still looks like a "natural no make up " look.


First off, i start with Moisturiser and a Lip Balm, to literally .. moisturise my face. haha

L'oreal Triple Active Day Moisturiser 

Burt's Bee's lip balm

I wait a few minutes for the moisturiser to dry, and then apply a little bit of the BB cream, and then a little bit of the True Match Foundation. i do this on somedays when i want extra coverage.

Usually though, i just go with wearing the BB cream. (review soon!)

I love using the Real Techniques "Buffing brush" for applying both, it blends them soooo well!

I then apply the L'Oreal Concealer using the Real Techniques "Pointed Foundation" brush. my under eye circles are so dark, so if anyone has a solution i'd love to hear it!

I like using both, Soap & Glory and Bare Minerals,  just because i use the soap and glory more as a highlighter, in the upper part of my cheek bones, and on the bridge of my nose, and i use the bare minerals on the lower part of my cheeks, (the fleshy bit under your bone when you smile). 

I love the soap and glory, but i just feel like i need a bit of pink on my cheeks sometimes.

I use my sephora Blush brush No 4 to apply the Bare minerals 

and Real Techniques Contour brush to apply the soap and glory.

For mascara , I'm loving this one by L'oreal.

I don't wear it every every day, but on the better days, i do.

For lips, I'm loving the Revlon Colour Burst in the colour "Vivacious"

Review : Soap & Glory Peach Party Blush Wheel.

Everytime we would walk past the soap & glory bit in boots, my sister would always talk about how much she loved the "peach party blush wheel" . I honestly never seemed interested as i thought it would be too shimmery, and just not what i wanted in a blush.

A few days ago, she bought me one as a gift, and well since i had it, i definitely had to give it a go.

I can't even start to say how much I FELL IN LOVE. 

This blush wheel is so amazing! i was so worried it would be too bronze, as I'm quite tan, but no it was perfect.

The shimmer is just right, and it lasts all day!

It gives off a natural tan vibe,and with the luminating shimmer,  it makes you look so awake and ah i don't know , it just makes me feel so pretty.

Literally would totally recommend this to anyone, its the perfect summer blush, and it looks so effortless. i love it!

I also like using the whitish bit on the corners of my eyes using a detailed brush.

Honestly, you can use this wheel in so many ways, I'm so impressed!
