revlon: pink in the afternoon

Whilst browsing in Boots, trying to pick 3 items to make use of the 3 for 2 offer they have on in store, (*queue you all running to boots*) I remembered thinking that I'd been looking for another nude lipstick to add to the one, yes, only one, I have in my collection already. I've never owned a Revlon lipstick so I went straight to their stand and found this little gem called 'Pink in the Afternoon'.

This is definitely an every day, pink toned nude which will go with any makeup look or outfit. The formula is creamy, but rather a sheer coverage, with high pimentation which feels light on the lips, which doesn't cling to any dry or flaky patches, rather than a creamy, heavy formula which requires a lot of blending to get an even coverage and to avoid any dry patches. This lipstick can be washed over the lips at any point during the day for a top up as you wouldn't really need a mirror because it's a 'your lips but better' colour. I'm definitely happy with this purchase and it will be a firm handbag favourite, it'll be getting a lot of use!

My Everyday Winter Makeup Routine

Well hello chums!

Here's a post that's a little different! I was about to do my makeup for uni the other day and thought I'd take photo's of the process to show you what I do on an everyday basis now that winter has rolled in!

So here's me: facially naked on the internet for the first time. Feeling rather nervous! But no one's perfect right?

So my main base is: Revlon Colour Stay Foundation for Combination/Oily Skin

I then use the classic 'Collection Lasting Perfection Concealor' on any blemishes and under my eyes and set my T-Zone and under my eyes with Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

For my brows I use Sleek's Brow kit with a MAC 217 brush 

Wow, what was I thinking here?!

I use a bit of Burt's Bees lip balm which I love all year round but especially during winter. I keep it in my handbag at all times!

My eyeshadow base is 'Seventeen's' eye base in 'Wild Nude'

The shadows I use are MAC 'Satin Taupe' // MUA Number '' // Sleek iDivine Pallette in 'Au Naturel'

Brushes Galore!

I use the shimmery nude for my inner corners and the black for a bit of definition along the lash line and a tiny bit on the outer corners.

YSL Baby Doll mascara (Only a tester but it's on my Christmas list!)

Here's the finished eyes!

Now for contour and blush! Sleek contour kit and Seventeen's blush in 'First Flush'

*Poser alert!*

For this particular day I mixed two lipsticks: MAC Vegas Volt and Rimmel Kate Moss '' But I tend to wear red and berry shades during this time such as MAC Russian Red//Lady Danger

THE FINISHED LOOK! 

I also wore this makeup out in the evening to the cinema and to dinner last weekend but made the eyes slightly darker and added a little more mascara and I was good to go!
