My Everyday Makeup Routine

Happy New Year everyone! To kick off 2016, here's my everyday makeup routine! I pretty much do this on most days - at least 5 days a week for work. I typically don't wear makeup during the weekends, unless I'm "going out on the town" which to be honest doesn't really happen that often because #IamAGranny. 

I'm sure to some this might be a little too much for every day but for me this is a pretty "simple" routine that I've got down to a T. I switch up a few of the products every so often but the routine is still the same. If I'm quick and don't do the winged liner look, I can do my makeup within 10 minutes (which I think is pretty quick!). 

Hope you guys enjoy the video!

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in #720 Notting Hill Nude

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in  #720 Notting Hill Nude

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipsticks are one of my favourite drugstore lipsticks, I have so many of them in my collection and it's still growing! They're pigmented and moisturising (not to mention they are affordable!). They also contain vitamin A, C & E, anti-oxidants and SPF 20 to protect the lips from sun damage.

I recently picked up Notting Hill Nude because I just can't get enough of nude lipsticks, and Rimmel's Nude Delight and Spotlight Beige are one of my favourite nudes and most-suited for my skintone (no dead looking lips!), so I thought Notting Hill Nude would be a good addition to the collection.

NOTD - Rimmel Lycra Pro Nail Polish in Urban Purple #402

Rimmel London Lycra Pro in Urban Purple is one of my 'oldie but goodie' nail polishes. I was rummaging through my nail polish collection and found it (I think I've had this for over 3 years now). Urban Purple is a gorgeous cream-finish raspberry red colour with a slight hint of deep plum in certain lightings. What I love about Rimmel's Lycra Pro range is the maxi brush applicator, which is the best nail polish brush tip I've ever come across. One quick swipe and you can pretty much cover your nails. This nail polish was opaque with one thick coat and with a second coat the colour really pops! Glad I rediscovered this colour!
