Another FOTD

Good evening, blogging world! Yesterday, I took a trip into Manchester City Centre with a wonderful old friend to do some much-needed, post-exams retail therapy.

Here is what my makeup was like for my little shopping trip and I took this selfie in the H&M fitting rooms, which have the most amazing lighting, in my opinion - please ignore the teeny tiny blemish above my lip!

Anyway, to find out what I products I used to achieve this look, just scroll down a tad...

WHAT I USED ON MY:

Face:

• Body Shop Instablur Primer
• Revlon Colorstay Foundation
• Mac Prolongwear Concealer
• Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder
• Body Shop Bronzer
• Sleek Contour Kit for contour and highlight - in the light shade
• Mac blush in 'Pink Sprinkles'
• Make Up For Ever HD Powder

Eye Area:

• Anastasia Brow Wiz
• Benefit High Glow
• Maybelline 'Master Sleek' brow gel

• Urban Decay Primer Potion - original
• Urban Decay Vice 3 Palette (base "truth", crease "alien", outer corner "alchemy" and "bondage", inner corner "bobby dazzle" and then I ran a few of them under my lower lashes) 
• Maybelline Master Precise Liner
• Origins Gin Zing mascara

Lips:

• Mac lip pencil in 'Soar' (as always, haha)
• Mac lipstick in 'Velvet Teddy'

I hope you found this interesting. If there is anything else you would like to know then please feel free to ask me anything and I will get back to you.

I intend on writing a post of my favourite concealers and on my skincare routing in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled!

Until next time...

Have a lovely week,

Velvet Lips

Lucky little me managed to get my hands on one of Mac's most sought after lippies: Velvet Teddy. It is supposed to be one of Kylie Jenner's faves. It had been sold out everywhere for ages, so as soon as I saw it in stock on the Mac website, I didn't hesitate. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the order arrived. Bearing in mind it is a week until Christmas, my order arrived within two days... IMPRESSED!

Anyhow, on to the makeup. I typically tend to go for a similar makeup look on a daily basis. I understand a lot of people may think this is OTT for everyday, but it is what makes me feel comfortable. 

Today, I used the Makeup Forever HD starter kit. It is a great kit and I could only get my hands on it when I went to New York last summer. For me, the foundation doesn't last as well as Mac Studio Fix Fluid, but it is still great none-the-less.

I think that the lipstick would work 10 times better with a lip liner. However, I only own one and I accidentally left it at uni. BUT, fear not, Santa is bringing me one or two!

 Hope you enjoyed reading this and are having a wonderful Christmas time!
