Drugstore winter makeup

Merry Blogmas!!!

Since this is my first year blogging I thought I would do a merry blogmas and I'm going to post everyday until 25th December. Christmas is my favourite time of year and this makeup look is so pretty and Christmassy. For my Christmas look I have decided to do it drugstore so everything in this look is affirdable and you can get it all from super drug or boots. Enjoy!!!

To start off this look I do a simple base with the Rimmel wake me up concealer and foundation which has great coverage. To apply this I use the real techniques expert face brush which I love. On top of the base I use the natural collection powder so my makeup won't move during the day, I especially have to put it over my t-zone and my chin as they can get very oily. To put the powder on I use the real techniques blush brush although I know powder is not blush. 

I then apply the maybeline master sculpt with my real techniques contour brush and I apply this in the hollow of my cheeks and anywhere the  sun would hit in natural light. I then add my soap and glory blush to the apples of my cheeks because it looks pretty. This blush is beautiful as it has a little bit of shimmer on it and a subtle pink colour.

Once the whole face is done I move on to the eyes and I have been using the 17 eyeshadow. First I use the real techniques eye base brush and I use the lightest colour eyeshadow and place it all over my eye. This colour is beautiful as it has a little shimmer and looks pretty. Next I use the darker colour and place it in the crease of my eye to give the smokey eye effect.

Once those two steps have been done I take the maybeline liquid eyeliner and put it over the top of my eyelid and do a little flick. The final step for the eyes is mascara from natural collection it is not the best mascar but it was the only drugstore mascara I have.

Finally my favourite part of the whole look is the lips. I have been using the Rimmel Kate moss lipstick in 107 I find this red is just Christmas it looks so pretty. Also for some reason it reminds me of robins.

Outfit of the week

Sorry for not posting in a while, but to make it up to you every Sunday and Thursday at 5 pm I will always do a new blog post and also in the month of December I will be doing a merry blogmas so every night at 5 there will be a new post.

Over the past week I was thinking about what post should I do and then I put this outfit together and I loved it so I thought I would do outfit of the week. All of these clothes are from topshop because anyone who knows me, knows I am obsessed with topshop. Enjoy!!!

These boots are just amazing they are so comfy, in my opinion it did take two wears to get them super comfy but now I just constantly wear them. This is the first time I have bought shoes from topshop this is because I have narrow feet so at times I find it hard to get a pair of shoes which fit properly. These shoes are not too wide so I can get away with it but I do still have to put a foot soul in it so it would rise my feet up.

This jumper is just beautiful, I bought this last year from topshop because I went threw a stage of turtle knecks as they are so comfy. In the jumper there are three different colours the main one is blue but running through is a white and black colour. It is so soft and fits perfectly it is great to wear with leguins, skinny jeans or just anything in general I even wore it with a skirt and it looked so pretty. Oversized jumpers are just my favourites because they look good on practically everyone. The price of this was quite a lot at £36 I think which is quite reasonable for this jumper because I have had this for over a year.

The topshop Joni jeans are just amazing I love the slim, high wasted ones they fit perfectly and I have three pairs in different colours. Whenever I go shopping with my friends and they need a pair of jeans I'm always like go topshop. These trousers are expensive at £36 but they are worth the money as they last and so does the colour. These have lasted for so long and I know a lot of people recommend these trousers and if you get recommended them you should so buy them.

Autumn essentials

I decided to do a post on my Autumn essentials, I have seen so many other bloggers do this post and I decided I would to. The nights are getting colder and darker and is the time to snuggle under a blanket and watch tv. Enjoy!!

My Autumn essentials:

•blanket

•No7 cleansing lotion

•teddy warm up beanbag

•dark berry lipstick

•dark vampy nail polish

•cosy socks

•ted baker body spray (polly)

One of my favourite essentials for Autumn is the dark berry colours for the lip stick and nail polish this is because they are very vampy colours. The vampy theme doesn't really suite my personality but they do look great on. In my opinion anyone could suit a berry lip it just depends if you have the confidence to wear it as when I first wore it I felt very self conscious about it but now I don't care what people think. Also the berry nail polish colour suits my skin tone so well and goes with all my clothes. So these are a big love of mine!!

Another thing which is a huge must have is a big blanket this is because night time comes earlier in England so it gets darker and I always want a big blanket to snuggle up to when I'm cold and when it is dark outside. Cosy socks is a big must as in Autumn my feet always get really cold and there is wool inside these socks so they keep my feet nice and toasty.

I have already posted about this ted baker spray so I won't bore you with a massive paragraph but this is also my go to in Autumn as it had such a great smell. I'm not very good at describing smells so I won't bother but it smells so good.

During Autumn my face can become very dry and last year I was trying find something which would help my skin and I did which was the No7 cleansing cream. To be fare I am not a huge fan of the smell of this product it's not overpowering, it is just a weak smell. When I bought this product I wasn't aware that it removes makeup but it does and is really easy to use and compliments my skin so far this Autumn my skin has been so smooth and I really recommend this.

One more essential is my teddy heat bean bag this is great for when you are cold at night and you want something soft to cuddle with which is warm. This will last for a good hour and after that the heat will start to go.

What's in my bag

For this blog post I thought I would do something a bit different to my other posts so I decided to do a what's in my post. For this I have decided to use my ted baker bag in a pink coral colour. I love this bag because I think it is so pretty with the little bow and it has plenty of room for all the stuff I need to put in my bag.

In my bag I always carry around a hand sanitizer as you never know when your going to need it. I will always have one for my school bag as might accidentally put your hand under the table and at school there is a lot of gum. For my hand gel I got it in the scent floral and fruity because it smells fresh and also I got it because I love the colour of the pink.

This notebook is cute I got it for my birthday last month and I think it is so good because it is the perfect size to fit in your bag. The pattern is so cute with the black background and then the flowers are really pretty.

Another thing I love about this notebook is that I love the writing 'take note' because it is in rose gold and at the moment I am addicted to copper and rose gold.

At the front of the notebook it says 'once upon a time' and it is so cute because at the back of the notebook it says 'happily ever after' and I love it.

Since it's Autumn in all my bags I have a berry colour lipstick as this is part of my Autumn look (will post next week), I used to be too nervous to do a dark lip but now I don't mind it as its my normal look at the moment. The one I have been using at the moment is the topshop one in wicked as it is such a beautiful colour and the pigment is amazing.

Finally of course in my bag I have this cute purse which I love as the patterns are great. The colours on the purse are great as it stands out from the white background.

Favourite brushes this week

This week I have been loving the real technique brushes and I thought I would do a post about my four favourites from this week. Sorry about a couple of the brushes being dirty I haven't cleaned them yet.

Bold metals real technique 100 brush-I have been in love with this brush for ages now and it's that it is so soft and delicate on your skin. The idea of having a triangle handle at first I admit I wasn't so keen on the idea but I love that now because it fits perfectly in to your hand. It also applys the perfect amount of makeup on your face so there is not too much.

Real technique multi task brush-this is one of my newest brushes and I love it, I use it to apply a light layer of blush on my cheeks as I find it adds the right amount to not make it look like your wearing to much. The hair of the brush is so delicate and is smooth on your skin which feels great. I love the look of this brush with the bright pink handle and I recommend this brush a lot.

Real technique contour brush-This is the perfect size for a contour brush as it is right to get the proper definition of your cheekbones. I find it annoying when they call a brush a contour brush but it is way too big for contouring where as this one is perfect. It also gathers the perfect amount so it doesn't look too heavy on your face which makes you look a bit like a clown.

Real technique deluxe crease brush-I use this brush for concealer as my foundation brush is too big and this is the perfect size for round the nose and under the eye. It is easy to conceal round the eyes as it is more small and less dense so you can get closer to the eye as it is more small.

Back to school essentials

I know a lot of people have gone back to school now but there are still a phew not in school like my school we're going back tomorrow (me crying). There's only one reason why I like going back to school and I don't know if it's just me but I love to buy all new stuff and pack my bag.

In my school bag I always carry a couple of bobbles and bobby pins because I always end up losing them by lending them to some one. I'm sure most girls will no what I mean by this but when you have P.E and your ment to tie your hair up but no one seems to bring a bobble, so I end up giving them out but no one ever gives them back.

Every year since I started high school, in my bag I always have a lip gloss and this year I'm going to take the Tanya burr in chic because it is such a beautiful colour and is quite subtle so I think I'll get away with it at school. Another thing I got was my new school bag I got it from hype and I thought the pattern was really pretty with the green leaves and the small cute pink flowers. It's quite a big bag so I can put a lot of stuff in as I don't like to carry anyother bags. Last year my bag broke so I've made sure it's bigger so it won't happen again.

This year I have also bought a hand cream as my hands always get really dry and I've also bought colouring pencils because at school non of them are ever sharpened and it really frustrates me all the time. I also got a notebook so I can write down notes which I can revise later.

For my pencil case I wanted a bright bold one so it would stand out and I got this from WHSmith. I think it's quite small which I like as then I can just put the amount of stuff in which I actually need in.
