Beauty | My Everyday Makeup

When I'm working, which often feels like all the time I tend to stick to the same group of products and have my set routine which means I can have my makeup done in about 10-15 minutes. I like to use my days off to experiment with different products and if I find I love a product a lot I will switch it round into my routine. So I just wanted to share with you what I use in my everyday makeup routine...

L'Oreal Lumi Magique Primer £9.99

Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer 'Light' £7.99

NYX HD Photogenic Concealer £5.50

L'Oreal Infallible 24H-Matte Foundation £7.99

MAC Studio Fix Powder £22.00

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer 'Sunny' £1.99

Revlon Highlighting Palette 'Rose Glow' £9.99

Makeup Revolution Baked Blusher 'All I Think About Is You' £2.50

Review | MAC RiRi Collction

SURPRISE... Yes I'm back! I'm sorry for my slight hiatus but I did explain it in my last post so I just want to say thank you for sticking by my little blog. But I am back and what better thing to be back talking about then the thing I'm most passionate about...MAKEUP! And not just any makeup but the MAC RiRi collection.

I could of easily bought all of it but I had my sensible head on and managed to whittle it down to 2 items although I may try and pick up the 'RiRi Woo Lip Pencil'. I already own 'RiRi Woo Lipstick'so that was already off the list. So the two items I did end up picking up was the 'Her Cocoa' eyeshadow quad and the 'Diamonds' cream colour base.

There are two quads available, 'Her Cocoa' which is more brown neutrals and 'Smoked Cocoa' which is dark smokey colours. I opted for the more brown quad as I knew I would get more daily use out of it. The colours don't have names as far as I can see but the website does have four colour descriptions. You have bright bronze gold, soft peach, chocolate bronze and antique gold. I adore all four shades and have had a chance to wear them all and can say I absolutely love this quad. I have worn them literally everyday since I got the quad.

Sorry about my crappy swatches, this is something I have to work on for my blog. All four colours work well together and I've tried a multiple of combinations and each time I get compliments so this is definitely a winner. It's currently sold out on the website but if you're lucky you may still be able to find it in a MAC store or counter. It retails at £33.00.

I've never owned a cream colour base before so this was a new experience for me and the verdict is in... I love it. Now from previous posts you will know I love my MAC Mineralize Skin Finishers to death and thought nothing would ever compare to them but I've got to say this cream colour base in 'Diamonds' is definitely up there with my favourites. It's described as a golden shade and can range from a light veil to highly dramatic depending on what method you choose to apply it with. I personally choose to use my fingers but I think I will try out different ways to apply it just to see how different the finishing look is.

Again it is sold out online but do check your local store or counter. It retails for £16.50.

Have you purchased anything from the Rihanna collection?

RiRi ♥ M.A.C Summer 2013 Collection

You will probably see this pop up on about 10,000 beauty blogs at some point this week but as a MASSIVE Rihanna fan I had to mention it on my blog. The images for her Summer portion of her year long collaboration with M.A.C cosmetics have been revealed and I must say I will probably buy all of it!

The first part was her redesigned version of the cult classic Ruby Woo lipstick 'RiRi Woo' which sold out within the first 3 hours of going on sale. This went on sale to coincide with her Stadium Tour on May 5th & 6th. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of these and I refuse to use it until I at least get myself a backup (yes i'm that sad!!)

I admit that the main reason I am attracted to this collection is because it's Rihanna. The past year or so I've found myself not needing to buy from collections much but this one is a certainty.

Lipsticks

RiRi Woo - Matte Cool Red (Retro Matte).

RiRi Boy - Retro Matte Version Of 'Up The Amp'. (Retro Matte).

Heaux - A Deep Berry (Retro Matte).

Blush Duo

Hibiscus Kiss - Cool Coral / Matte Neutral Bronze.

Lustre Drops

Barbados Girl - Light Golden Bronze Shimmer

Out of the whole 5 items the one I could probably do without least is the lustre drops as I've had them before and never found them of much use.

What do you think of the collection? Will you be buying anything from the collection?

Lazy Day Makeup

Evening!

On my days off I like to be a bit more relaxed with my makeup than I am with my every day work look. So tonight I thought I would talk about what I like to wear on my days off from work or what I like to call 'My Lazy Day Makeup'.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 in Nude
I've read so many reviews about this ever so famous product and have lusted after it for quite some time. Now I've finally got my hands on it and am absolutely loving it. I love the coverage of it and the fact you can build it up to however you like it. Its the perfect coverage for me so that I don't feel like I have layers of concealer and foundation on.

MAC Blusher in Well Dressed
This was the first ever blusher I bought from MAC, back when I was a beauty newbie and didn't really have a clue what kind of obsessive makeup junkie I would become. I love the light natural pink colour it leaves on my cheeks and is great for that everyday natural look.

Givenchy Noir Couture 4-in-1 Mascara
I've been using a sample of this mascara for about a week and love the finish it gives my lashes. I am still getting to grips with the wand as I've never used a mascara with a brush like this one. Its a triple sphere wand which makes applying mascara fast and easy with the triple sphere helping you reach all the corners. The 4-in-1 feature provides volume, length, curl and care.

And to finish the look off I usually will apply a lipstick in whatever colour I'm fancying that day or just a lip balm if I'm not feeling very adventurous.

What do you like to wear on your days off?

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish - Lightscapade

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in 'Lightscapade' Limited Edition 2011

I don't know about you guys but I am addicted to MAC Mineralize skinfinishes! As much as I would love to own all of them, my bank balance just would not allow it. I have 3 in total. Soft and Gentle (permanent), Stereo Rose & Lightscapade.

MAC Lightscapade has been released with many collections and to be honest I can't remember which collection I actually purchased mine from. I do remember I saw it in a collection but didn't have the funds at the time so missed out. But like many limited edition products with MAC sooner or later they are re released and I was lucky enough that I had the funds this time round!

MAC describes it as a 'soft candlelight beige with multi-dimensional shimmer'. At first glance it may look very pale but when applied lightly it just gives a gorgeous shimmer.

All in all I love this highlighter and if you love the skinfinishes like me then next time this is released (it may be a while!) I urge you to go out and buy it!

Mac 'Cut A Caper' Lipstick

I'm a pink kinda lipstick girl, always have been and always probably will be. But I am starting to inject more colour variation into my collection. Introducing to you Cut A Caper...

This was released with the Heavenly Creatures collection and as soon as I saw it I was drawn to it. This is a very odd occurrence for me so I know I had to have it. Lucky for me this collection was released right before my birthday so 2 of my lovely friends got me 2 of these bad boys and lucky they did as it basically sold out everywhere straight away. I love wearing this on nights outs.

(Excuse the chipped nails!!)

Anyone else own and L.O.V.E this lipstick?
