Ballerina Eyes

After doing a recent post on my favourite eye products to use alone- you can find the post here- it got me using my Benefit Longwear Powder Shadow in 'Nude Swings' a lot more again. This then reminded me of an eye look I did back in April for my dad's surprise birthday party. I'd totally forgotten about this look and absolutely love how girly and delicate it seems- just like a ballerina...hense the post title!

On my lips is the No7 product blogged about here

This is such an simple and effective eye look which can be achieved in 3 simple steps;

1. Blend the Benefit shadow across the whole eye lid
2. Apply Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in '30 Gorgeous Berries'- blog post here- on the outer half of the lid and through the crease
3. Blend together and outwards to create soft lines

So...3 steps, 2 products and 1 beautiful eye look...sorted!

No7 Shine & Tint

If you want a pout that packs a punch then this is the lip product for you. The No7 Shine & Tint is a gloss that means business. Apply this is the morning and you'll be struggling to remove it at the end of the day. 

This is seriously long lasting and stays put throughout food and drink. There's obviously slight fading on the fuller part of the lips at the end of a meal but it's not that noticeable. This is definitely the longest lasting product I've experienced in a long time which is surprising considering how comfortable and non-drying it is on the lips. It feels slightly sticky on the lips to begin with due to a beautiful glossy shine which also sticks around all day so it's worth it

I have the shade 'Seduce' which a a brunettes perfect hot pink shade. They are available from Boots for £8.50 and there's 5 shades to choose from.

Lazy Day Make-Up and Outfit

We all have those days where we are just in a bit of a lazy mood and therefore the thought of doing a full make-up routine and outfit styling makes us want to hide under the duvet and stay in bed all day. But, on days where I feel like this and I still have errands to run I keep things basic and go on the bare minimum. 

I keep my make-up to light and fresh on my skin and use only enough to make me look awake/human. 

The products I use are (in order of application);

• No7 Stay Perfect Primer
• Benefit Big Easy BB Cream- blog post here
• Maybelline Instant Anti-Age Eraser
• Bourjois Healthy Balance Powder
• Benefit Busher in 'Dandelion'
• L'oreal Brow Artist Plumper
• Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof
• Mac Eye Kohl in 'Teddy'
• Revlon Lip Butter in '035 Candy Apple'

When it comes to a lazy day outfit then I'm definitely a jeans and t-shirt/vest top kind of girl. The comfier I am the better when I'm running around instead of being on the sofa watching Disney movies. And when it comes to hair it'll either be thrown up in a messy top-knot or just left down wild and free. 

My outfit;

• T-shirt- Primark
• Jeans- Topshop
• Shoes- Sainsburys (yeah you read that right!! A supermarket!)

Garnier Intensive 7 Days Nourishing Lotion

I have always moisturised my skin every night and will usually just purchase any moisturiser which is cheap/on offer, which is how I ended up trying out the Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days Nourishing Lotion- ridiculously long name! 

It literally just took one application for me to fall in love with this and I've used nothing else since. What I love the most is how fast this soaks into the skin and gives instant softness. You can just tell it's doing wonders for your skin! It has quite a thin texture which allows it to spread more evenly and disappear within seconds. The original bottle that I tried was the peach one and I loved it but when I went to repurchase it was sold out so I settled with the mango one which is just as good but I prefer the scent of the peach. 

It may not be the cheapest on the shelf but a little goes a long way and it 100% works so is definitely worth spending a couple more pennies. I've enjoyed using this throughout summer as it's been so light and nourishing but I look forward to using it throughout winter as well as it'll be great at keeping dry skin at bay.
