I'm baccccccccck!

Before I jump into this post, I really should explain where i've been hiding out these past months. And the reason i've been away is nothing truly exciting, I decided to take a few weeks off whilst I finished my course and then a few weeks turned into a few months. 

I'm sure anyone else who has taken a break from blogging can relate. As the break gets longer and longer, it can be quite hard to just slide back to posting. I cannot tell you the amount of times that i've thought about writing a post, but never actually got round to it!

My Instagram has still been going strong ('cause i'm slightly obsessed with it), but it has made me miss this space of the internet. And I am so happy to be back with regular content!

So, if you remember, a few months ago I uploaded my 'Face Faves' post. Make up is something I love, maybe not as much as fashion, but it's a pretty close second. I love trying new items and finding new products to obsess over. One such product is the Sexy Mother Pucker lipsticks. They are so amazing, I already own two!

 In my extended break away from blogging, I have binge watched countless of youtube tutorials and a couple of products have came up time and time again:

Laura Mercier - Loose setting powder in Translucent - 

Such a gorgeous and versatile product. Perfect for baking and sculpting out a flawless contour. Or as i've used here, a light dusting all over the face to set your foundation. I am definitely converted!

L'oreal True Match Foundation - 

Never have I seen so many different foundation colours.. Ever! I was quite impressed when I went to pick this up, it was almost overwhelming to have so many options. With such a vast array of different colours, there's something for everyone and you will find your 'true match'. This foundation gives that your skin, but better look.

Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil -

I'm already a die hard Benefit Cosmetics fan, I live for their brow products. For years I have sworn by Brow Zings and Gimme Brow, so any other brow product they bring out.. Give it to me!

I have managed to horde a huge stock pile of new goodies, which I have been testing out, so stayed tuned for more looks..

It's good to be back!

Smoky eye.

Eyeshadow palette: Urban Decay Vice 3

I'm not very experimental when it comes to make-up, i've found what works for me and I stick to it. For the most part, I am quite happy with that.

Then I scroll through instagram..

I'm constantly in awe of what people are able to achieve with make-up and I want to do it too. I've bought so many different tools and palettes over the years, that just in the cupboard gathering dust.

Well, that was until recently.

I've started experimenting, constantly pausing youtube tutorials and trying to move out of my neutral colour palette a lot more.

I may not be very good at it, but i'm enjoying learning and trying something new.

Products:

MAC - Studio Fix Powder // MAC - Mineralise Skin Finish - Lightscapade // MAC - Paint Pot - Painterly // Clarins Instant Concealer - 01 // The Body Shop - Honey Bronzing Powder - 03 // Soap & Glory - Kick Ass Pressed Powder // Clinique - Anti Blemish Foundation - 04 Fresh Vanilla //  Benefit - Gimme Brow - Medium/Deep // Benefit - Brow Zings - Dark // MAC - Lipstick - Velvet Teddy // Topshop - Blusher - Dream Phone //

I thought it was about time I introduced a few more beauty related posts onto the blog, as it's something I have huge passion for.

Now, when it comes to day to day beauty, I have finally found a combination of products that work for me. And when you find something that works.. Stick with it.

As a general rule for the day, I tend to lean towards the no make up, make up look.

The Clinique foundation is one of my all time favourites. The colour is such a gorgeous match with a medium but build-able coverage. I do have other foundations that I adore, but for everyday wear, this one wins.

When it comes to brows.. The only think I have to say is.. Benefit Cosmetics.

I'm sure when I say velvet teddy, you all know what i'm talking about. This lipstick has been on everyone's instagrams and favourites line-ups. When I first got my hands on it, I could totally see why. This shade is something of a 'Your-lips-but-better'. And I LOVE it.
