My Morning Face Makeup

This past week I have been getting a little lazy with my makeup routine, but I seem to be getting more compliments so maybe less really is more? So what exactly have been using, well as you can see not much.

EcoTools

I was surprised by the quality of their brushes, soft, sturdy and minimal fall out. The Kabuki and concealer brushes are defimitely the star brushes for me, they have so many uses, the concealer brush may be my fave though as it is amazing for buffing conealer or applying cream eye shadow like I have done today.

Prestige Cosmetics Skin Loving Mineral Foundation & Blush - Natural

Right now I am trying to get my skin in better condition so have swapped my normal heavy coverage liquid foundation for this mineral one. I have to admit (Sorry EL Double Wear) but I do prefer how my skin looks and feels when I wear this. Flawless coverage, glowy and it does stay on during a whole working day - no touch required. Plus its a bargain price.

The mineral blush is gorgeous too the perfect peachy pink colour that will make your skin light up, again I was surprised just how good the pigmentation and qaulity was. I need to learn high end doesn't always mean better.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Cream Eye Shadow - Antique Gold

My HG eye shadow. Simple. Looks amazing everything, doesn't crease and doesn't fade. Honestly girls you need to look at these eye shadows, in my opinion they are the best cream shadows.

Urban Decay Skyscraper Mascara

Holy cow is this mascara good! My lashes have hands down never looked as good as they do when I use this mascara, it keeps my lashes long, curled and looking generally great all day. Another one to take note of if you like big false lash looking lashes.

Chanel Glossimer - 25

I repurchased this colour for about 3 years now and can safely say as long as they make it I will buy it. It isn't sticky or gloopy, gives a gorgeous pink colour to my lips and leaves them feeling rather moisturised. Not bad.

Shall I upload a FOTD? Let me know...

Oh you do make a girl blush ♥

I thought it might be a nice post to show you some of my favourite blushes, these are my higher end blushes but don't worry I will do another post showing you my lower end blushers too. It was a tough decision narrowing them down but in the end I settled on the 4 that I use the most and that have been repurchased.

♥NARS Desire

I think this is a really fun bright pink shade, it is matte so sometimes I find it does look a little flat on my cheeks but a little sweep of MAC Dainty over it immediately lifts it. NARS blushers are really fab when it comes to pigmentation, you need the lightest touch of your brush to get enough colour and they last on the cheeks nicely. Blushes won't last you all day but for me NARS blush do last the longest on me.


♥Chanel Orchid Rose
This was one of my first 'high end' blushers and it has remained a firm love of mine since I bought it. It gives me such a natural rosy pink flush to my cheeks, it has a subtle shimmer through it which helps to naturally highlight your cheeks.


♥MAC Dainty
I'm sure you have all seen this blusher but I had to include it in my favourite blushes as I find it such an easy pink shade to wear. It is one of the few MAC blushes that I have repurchased, I love the sheen it gives my cheeks I like my blushes to really lift my complexion and highlight my cheeks this blush certainly ticks all my boxes.


♥NARS Orgasm
I won't say too much on this blusher as we have all seen it a million times before! Orgasm was the first NARS product I ever purchased and every recommendation for this blush was right, it is just the perfect peachy pink shade in my opinion. This is always going to be a staple for me.

Chanel Rouge Coco ♥

♥

This is my first Chanel lipstick, I have a lot of their other products but I've never tried the lipsticks, so for my first one I wanted to choose something very natural and nude so that it would be used.. not just stuck in a drawer! 

I went for the Rouge Coco in Peregrina 78, it is a really pretty peachy nude, one of those your lips but better kind of colours. It is really moisturising, and glossy it feels really nice on. Surprisingly also lasts a decent amount of time on the lips, I was worried it would disappear quickly like the YSL Rouge Volupte lipsticks do but this one definitely lasts longer.

So tell me what your favourite lip products from Chanel are? Anything peachy toned!
