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!

London Beauty Haul!

This video is long overdue but I finally posted my first ever YouTube video! It's a makeup and skincare haul of all the stuff I bought during my London trip back in October. Hope you guys enjoy the video and if you liked it, please give it thumbs up and subscribe for more videos!

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette

Several months ago I put in a huge Sephora order with a friend who was going back to Canada, one of the items was the Hourglass Ambient Blush Palette which I've been eager to try for ages! So you can imagine my excitement when I got the bag of goodies, only to find my friend had gotten the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette instead.

NARS Audacious Lipstick in Carmen

So NARS recently launched the new Audacious Lipstick collection and one of lipsticks in this stunning collection is called - wait for it - Carmen - wait for it again - it's a bright red. I knew right there and then that I was going to be ALL OVER THAT! Literally a lipstick with my name on it and in one of my favourite shades of lipstick to wear.

NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base

I'm the kind of girl that will have liquid eyeliner smudged or eyeshadow creased across her lids if I don't have primer on...that's how oily my lids get towards the end of the day. It's my constant nightmare! After using the cult-favourite Urban Decay Primer Potion for a while, I wanted a change and having heard really good reviews about the NARS Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base I decided to go for it.

My Everyday Makeup Bag

In my previous WIMH post, I briefly mentioned a makeup bag which I carry around in my handbag almost everyday. I never used to carry a makeup bag with me, only because I don't normally touch up my makeup. Back then, if I did carry any makeup, they would usually just be chucked into my handbag and I end up spending ages rummaging around for it. So I thought I would be a bit more organised and start using a makeup bag (I got this makeup bag from Superdrug a few years ago). To be honest though, I hardly reach for most of the things in the bag but it's just good to know that if I did need any touch-ups or what not I have the means to do so.
