Everyday Makeup

I do love a good "look" post that I can utilise for a night out or a special occasion but there's nothing better than an everyday look that's simple & doesn't take forever & a day to do.

Here's mine...

Guest Blog | Wedding Beauty Game

How do you ensure your beauty game is on point for the biggest day of your life?

What formulations will photograph well and last the distance at your wedding?

Doing your own make-up for such a massive occasion can seem nerve-wracking, but it could be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make. After all, who knows your preferences, what suits you, and your plans better than yourself? With the right tools, good products, and a little know-how you can create the look of your dreams to complement that dress, I promise.

Who am I? I’m Sarah, a writer, make-up addict and connoisseur of all pretty things over at www.seriouslyshallow.co.uk. I had my ‘happy ever after’ three years ago when I married my husband Sebastian – and I learned a thing or two about wedding beauty along the way.

As a big fan of Charlie’s beautifully written blog, I’m delighted to be doing this post to share what I learned.

February Favourites

Well well well, here we are again. Finally it looks as though Spring is on it's way & I can't wait.
Bring on bright colours, warmer weather & outside living.
1. Benefit Neutrals Eyeshadow Kit

Review | Soap & Glory Archery DIY Brow Bar

As you may or may not know, I am slightly obsessed with eyebrows. I love discovering new products to use & am a little OCD with my own.
I came across this Soap & Glory 'DIY Brow Bar' whilst searching the shelves & something about it drew me in. I'm not normally a fan of the 'eyebrow kits' as I like to mix & match products as well as colours but thought I'd give it a whirl!

July Favourites

Another month has rolled by already so here are my July Favourites!

1. Benefit 'They're Real! Push-up Liner'

I bought this when I was in America last month & I absolutely love it! I'm definitely one of those people who have a love/hate relationship with eyeliners but I find that this one glides over really smoothly & gets the job done.

 

2. Victoria's Secret 'Mango Temptation' Spray

I've had another one of these which I posted about in a previous Favourites post but unfortunately it ran out :( Luckily, I was heading to America which meant I could buy a new one without it being too expensive. I love this 'Mango Temptation' one that I picked up, it smells so fruity & summery.

3. Barry M Gelly Nail Polish in 'Papaya'

I kind of went off Barry M nail polishes for a while, not too sure why. But recently i've been getting my finger nails done with gel polish & I wanted to have the same sort of effect on my tootsies! (At a fraction of the price.) I pulled this old thing out of my nail polish jars & have fallen in love again. It's such a gorgeous colour & gives a really nice finish.

4. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in 'Chantilly'

I have wanted this concealer for AGES. Literally months! Again, I bought this in America as it was cheaper & I'm so glad I did. The creamy texture is so good for covering up any blemishes or redness so I'll definitely have to re-purchase this.

5. Urban Decay 'The Brow Box' in 'Honey Pot'

I've only used this a few times but it has already fallen into my list of favourites. I love the colours which are of a natural tone & the little box it comes in. It's perfect for taking on the road with the hard casing, mini eyebrow brush & tweezer at the bottom.

6. Abercrombie White Ripped Jeans

I've always wanted a pair of white jeans but thought that I couldn't pull them off (you may think that I still can't ;)) but I saw some in Abercrombie that I fell in love with. They're really comfy & fit really well too. They were also a bargain which makes the purchase even better!

7. Yankee Candle Car Freshener

This little bundle of smell is joyful when I get into my car each day! It smells amazing & also looks really cute :) I've never seen these in the UK before, does anyone know where I can get some more?

8. Jo Malone White Jasmine & Mint Candle

My previous work colleagues bought me this as a leaving gift & I've been loving it! It smells so summery, almost like suncream... but trust me, it's a good'un.

9. Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer

I've had a bit of a rocky relationship with primers. Some days I love them, others I hate them! This Hourglass one however goes on like a dream. It's a really nice texture & doesn't feel overly heavy. It's such a good start to my makeup routine at the moment.

10. Nike Free Runner Trainers 5.0

My fiancé bought me these for Christmas last year but this month I have been loving them. I always forget how comfy they are until I slip them back on. They were really handy in America as we were doing lots of walking & they're also so light that they don't weigh your case down too much!

Have a look at what I was loving last month in my 'June Favourites'
