Urban Decay All Nighter Liquid Foundation

I bought this in hopes of using it for my Debs makeup (which I did) and instead of buying my shade 3.0 I went for 4.0 ...

Back To School || Makeup

                   

    

School is just around the corner! We all need a quick makeup routine for school because we're up early and only have so much time to get ready. Makeup for school should be light but also show that we made an effort haha.

Foundation isn't necessary unless you want it but if you do decide to wear foundation, try a light coverage. It doesn't look as cakey and heavy, and plus you won't get in trouble for "wearing too much makeup". I use the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation!

To hide those bags under our eyes, use an under eye concealer! Heck even go a shade lighter than your skin-tone so it makes you look more awake. Bourjois CC eye cream.

For mascara, you want one that will last all day and not melt down your face from the slightest tear from yawning. Mascara opens up the eye, making it look bigger than it is. Perfect. Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara.

Filling in your brows and putting on lipgloss is optional, it's up to you. Tidy eyebrows frame a face, remember. To show that you spent time on how you look, add some gloss to that pout. Rimmel London eyebrow pencil & Essence lipgloss.

Review || Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation!

First off I'd like to comment on the scent of this foundation! It's so fruity and just smells so good.

As I said before in my makeup haul, I bought this purely out of curiosity because of all the reviews I've read(I'm a beauty blogger I do have to keep up with things duh). 

The packaging is decent enough, I'm glad it has a pump because some foundations don't and that is just a nightmare. I'm forever dropping stuff so I'm hoping it'll be like my other foundations and doesn't smash! I'm not fond of the red colour on the bottle but I can get over that.

Onto the formula! It's not thick but it's not runny if you get me. It's easy to blend with and I used a stippling brush because I didn't think a buffing brush would do the job for this product.

This only came in two shades in Boots and I chose the lighter shade because my neck and face are pale, even this is too dark! I'm quite disappointed in that because I like everything else about this. 

I suppose I could use this for night rather than day because I'd be bronzing up for night events!

To sum it up in three words I'd use; inexpensive, fruity, blendable.

So today I decided I would practice my MUA skills and went all out with this Egyptian/bronzed look.
Slowly but surely with the help of all those other beauty genius', I am getting better and better.
The next goal I want to achieve is those brows of mine to be perfect, but we must remember brows are sisters .. not twins!

~ Benefit Cosmetics "The porefessional"
~Rimmel match perfection foundation
~Collection lasting perfection concealer
~Stay matte pressed powder
~Essence brow kit
~L.A colours star gaze "makeout"
~Maybelline New York eye studio lasting drama gel eyeliner
~Rimmel scandal eyes mascara
~Essence lipstick "nude love" with Urban Decays Naked 2 half baked on top

The Daily Face

I thought since I like makeup, you like makeup ..why not show what I wear on a day-to-day basis!
Even though for the amount of products used, I think it still gives a natural look that is totally suitable for school,work,lazy days etc..

Base-
Okay so first after I moisturize, I use Benefit's the POREfessional as a primer.I personally love this because it's one primer that does what it's supposed to do... Keep the makeup on your face!!
Next I use LOreal Infallible 24H Foundation, I mean this is okay but doesn't give major cover up.
I then move in with Collection's Lasting Perfection Concealer, I only purchased this recently but so far it is doing a great job at hiding blemishes and dark circles.
Lastly I set my base makeup with Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder.

Eyes/brows 
I first go ahead and prime my lids with Benefits Stay Don't Stray, I FREAKING LOVE THIS.. Not meaning to be over-dramatic but I feel like it lasts for hours on end and doesn't let my eyeshadow move. I then move on to using Bootycall from the Naked 2 Pallette, (not in the picture) it helps me look awake when I'm really half-dead looking at 8:30 a.m heading to school.
The mascara I use is Rimmel London VolumeFlash Scandal Eyes!
And finally my last step in beautifying myself is filling in my brows withEssence eyebrow stylist set 01 natural brunette style, I feel and really know that I should buy new brow powder because this is nearly finished and I will cry if I can't fill in my brows.


So that's it very simple and basic but it makes me presentable! What does your 'everyday makeup' consist of?

Makeup Look Of The Week.

Alright so as everyone knows from my instagram( instagram.com/meelsieee ) that I tend to wear too much makeup but I LOVE it.
On Saturday I wore a dark pink lipstick and and a pop of pink on the eyes.
As I was wearing a mint green button up collar blouse, I thought "hey why not add some pink?"
The lipstick was not everyone's cup of tea, as my sister had told me she hated it.
I would like to hear from you guys what's YOUR favourite makeup look!

                                                                         

Kate Moss for Topshop

Hello Lovies!!
Kate Moss recently,yesterday in fact, just released her new clothing lines for TopShop and I am loving it!!!(no dramatic typing involved there at all).
Just to warn you all if you haven't seen it yet.. It's very flashy flashy y'know what I'm sayin?
But it wouldn't be Kate Moss if it wasn't fabulous like her.
If you love glitz and glam then I REALLY suggest you buy something but be careful because it could burn a whole in your purse,it is very expensive!(need them dolla dollas)
Anywhooooo, as my exams are reeling in closer and closer I can not decide when I'm available to post so just hang on in there for me:)

Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Review!

Several months ago I went on a little makeup haul(okay I may have bought at least a bag full of makeup but that's not the point) and managed to come across the Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation, and  I have been using this ever since! It is a perfect day-to-day foundation as it is light and gives you a natural look. Now if you're looking for a foundation that gives you full coverage I suggest you look elsewhere because this is not the foundation for you, it helps cover blemishes but not hide them if you understand what I'm saying(or should I say typing) . It is quite on the pricier side at €35 but it is worth the buy I must add.Tell me what you think of this fab foundation  in the comments.
