Favourite Lip Product!

So after the dramatic and devastating moment when I realised I had misplaced my favourite MAC lipstick "Faux", I decided to stop wallowing in self pity and go out and buy myself a new lipstick. Not wanting to buy "Faux" again as there's still hope that it might turn up in one of my hand bags, I decided to go for something similar but different. I ended up purchasing "Brave" another raved about Mac lipstick and its matching lip liner "Dervish". 

I can honestly say I have never been more in love with lip products as I have been with these. The lipstick is just a shade lighter than "Faux" and a little bit more pink. The lip liner is the perfect match and some times when I'm going for a matte lip I just apply the lip liner. It really brightens the make up look and works just as well with a dark smokey eye as it does with a bight eyed look. 

These products have also helped with my over drawing lip skills. As they weren't to dark I could get away with slightly over drawing them which allowed me to perfect them day by day. I honestly cant rave about these products more and they're quickly diminishing *sad face*. One thing is for sure, when they do run out I will definitely be repurchasing them.

What's On My Face For Spring/Summer.

At the moment I've got those spring/summer feels as the weather is slightly starting to get a bit warmer and the sun is starting to peak out. I cant wait to start wearing bright and fresh make-up again. During the week I gave this fresh look a try and it got me even more excited for spring and summer! I cant wait to start wearing bright coloured lips again with neutral eyes and nice pops of colour with my blusher.

For this eye look I used my Charlotte Tilbury "Golden Goddess" eye shadow pallet along with Stilla's "Stay All Day" liquid eye liner in black, I also used benefits "They're Real" mascara and in my brows I used the Charlotte Tilbury eye brow pencil in the shade "Cara D". For my lips I  used Bourjois "Rouge Edition Velvet" in the colour Hot Pepper. On the rest of my face I wore Nars "Sheer Glow Foundation"  with their "Radiant Creamy Concealer" under my eyes and down the bridge of my nose. To contour I used Benefits "Hola" bronzer and for blush I broke out Nars "Orgasm". I was delighted with this over all look and I think I be wearing it a lot this spring/summer when I'm in the mood for a bold lip!

My Sick Day Routine

For people like myself who often struggle with flu's and colds, it is essential to have a routine to get you up and feeling your absolute best. The first thing I like to do when I wake up is have a nice breakfast, normally I try to stick to a healthy breakfast but when I'm not feeling great its nice to have a treat/pick-me-up like french toast or pancakes, if someone is kind enough to cook them for you.

After breakfast is usually when I try to have a hot shower, the steam opens up my air ways a bit more allowing me to feel a little bit better. The steam combined with a lovely scented shower gel from lush makes me feel like a million dollars. At the moment I'm using their Christmas collection shower gel called "Rose Jam". When I do manage get out of the shower I feel ten times better, even if it is just for a half an hour. After the shower I cleanse and moisturise my face.

If I must venture out into the world I like to tie my hair back into a pony tail or braid, this helps keep the hair off my face until I'm able to go home again. For make-up I try to use a minimal amount which normally consists of some mascara, blusher, concealer and a little bit of bronzer. The blusher and bronzer are my main focus and it puts little bit colour back into my face instead of looking like a ghost. That green colour people turn when their sick is not appealing on anybody. For my lips I just use a clear lip balm because there is nothing worse than being sick and also having dry cracked lips. Am i right?

When I get home I take off all my make up and head straight for bed as I am normally wiped out at this stage. There is nothing better than getting into nice, new, clean bedding so normally when I'm starting to get over my sickness I change it, this also gets rid of all the germs that were previously there.

I try to drink as much water as I can throughout the day as I feel a huge difference in regards my health at the end of the day if I don't drink enough fluids. If I do have the flu or a cold I like to use the softest tissues possible on my nose. I generally gravitate to Kleenex that has some sort of soft balm so I don't look like Rudolf for the whole day.

I hope this is helpful and if you are sick hopefully you begin to feel better soon!
