BEAUTY: All the Nudes

Today I thought I would share with you my go to every day lipsticks. I always love watching Youtube videos of peoples top 10 favourite lipsticks etc, but thought I would share with you my everyday lipsticks.

Charlotte Tilbury - Amazing Grace
This is probably my all time favourite lipstick, it's part of the Matte Revolution range and I adore it. It was the first product I ever tried from Charlotte Tilbury and clearly wasn't disappointed. It's quite a natural colour, it's a very rosy pink with a hint of red in there and I always feel really put together when I wear it. I love that it's matte because it lasts ages on the lips. It can be a little bit drying but I tend to just put on some lipbalm before application. I find that this lipstick works well regardless of the season and it really brightens up your look.

Rimmel - Let's Get Naked
This lipstick I bring out every summer and it's the only lipstick I've ever repurchased. It's a peachy nude and looks amazing with a coral blusher. I love the formula of this lipstick, I try not to wear quite so many matte lipsticks in the summer just because I prefer the glossier look for this time of the year. Let's Get Naked is part of Rimmel's Moisture Renew range. They're long lasting despite the fact they have a glossy finish. I just love the colour of this lipstick, I do struggle to wear corals and peaches as they tend to drain my colouring but this looks really pretty on the lips.

Clinique - Nude Pop
This is a great go to nude, its kind of a cross between the Rimmel and Maybelline ones mentioned in colouring, its quite pinky with a hint of peach in there. Its really moisturising on the lips and because of the primer benefits the lipstick is really long lasting too. The colour is also perfect for if you've got a smoky eye going off, this is the perfect nude to go along side it.

Maybelline - Pink Fling
Part of their Blushed Nudes Collection, this has been my latest addition to my lipstick collection. I love the baby pink colour, I think it's hard to find a baby pink that doesn't look too barbie doll, but this, for me, is perfect. Its got a creamy texture too and is super glossy. I've been reaching for this a lot for the last month. It's very girly but a nude so incredibly easy to wear.

There we have it, my everyday lipsticks. When I don't know which lipstick to go for, these four never fail me. What are you favourite lipsticks?

BEAUTY: What's in my Make Up Bag

I love to having a nosey into people's make up bags and so today I thought I'd share with you what's been living in mine for the last few weeks. I picked up a new make up bag on Monday from Urban Outfitters, I'm going away at the weekend so I wanted something that would fit my make up brushes in them as well without completely crushing them and this one does that perfectly. These items I basically use all the time and they're my go to products for when I'm in a rush in a morning.

First up, I've been using the Revlon PhotoReady Perfecting Primer whilst I originally didn't get along with this product, I've been trying it out since my Nude By Nature Primer ran out and I've been enjoying it. I find it's quite silky in application and whilst I originally broke out when I first started using it again, now I'm having no problems. I just apply my primer with my fingers.

I then use my Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation in Ivory. I've been using this foundation for a couple of months now and love it. It's quite a full coverage foundation but it feels really light on the skin and it doesn't feel like you've got anything on. I apply my foundation with the Zoeva Silk Finish Brush. I then go in with my concealer and again I've been using the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer for years now. It's just the best, in my opinion, for hiding and brightening up dark circles. After that I like to set my base with the Boujois Healthy Balance  Powder, just a light powder to set things in place.

I've recently picked up Benefit Hoola Bronzer, after lusting after it for ages I finally had enough boots points to pick up the miniature that they sell. Using the Real Techniques Contour Brush I just apply this to the hollows of my cheekbones to just look a little more tanned and healthier. I then use my Nars The Mutiple (Orgasm) on my cheeks. I've been loving cream blushers lately and this has been my favourite over the last two months, I just use my Real Techniques Stipling Brush to bush it in.

Once my base is finish I then just use a bit of eyeliner (which I couldn't find when taking the picture) and a mascara and I've been loving the Lancome Hynose Volume-a-porter. I find it gives you a bit of length but makes you eyelashes look really full. I then comb through my eyebrows and apply a little bit of lipstick and I'm good to go.

BEAUTY: Rimmel Bestival Blue

I was in our local Tesco the other week with Scott and I was looking at the makeup stands in the search for a new nail polish. I haven't bought many nail polishes for a while and so a lot of mine are quite old now and are starting to go sticky and tacky and aren't applying very smoothly. I was on the hunt for a  new blue shade when I spotted the Rita Ora collection for Rimmel and found the shade Bestival Blue.

I really like this shade and alongside a Barry M nail polish these are the only two shades I've been wearing all month. It's a pale blue shade that pops on the nails. It's perfect for spring and looks really fresh. I'm so glad to be able to take off the berry coloured shades that always end up staining my nails despite a base coat. This applies really smoothly and you can get away with a single coat if you are in a rush. The polish dries really quickly too which is always a bonus and you don't then have to sit and wait ages for it to dry and are then in fear of smudging it. I've found I can get away with a couple of days without the nail paint chipping but I do have to take it off after 3-4 days. I haven't worn a blue shade in such a long time so I've been really loving wearing the shade. There's some really nice colours in the Rita Ora range so I might have to pop back in and have another look.
