Long time no blog!

Hey Guys

Due to a severe Eczema flare up and a career change I have not blogged in a long time. Unfortunately I haven't been able to use my favourite skin care or make up as often as I like, keeping my make up to nights out only. Zero cream is not my idea of luxury skin care!

I hope to start project (re) fit and continue blogging soon.

Comment below with any make up looks you'd like to see! I am also looking for models to create make up looks on, e-mail me if you are interested!

Light Every Day Make Up - Summer Edition Featuring Jackie Dixon

Avon Make Up Setting Spray (Not pictured)

Dior Rosy Glow Blusher

Dior Rose Diamond Shimmer Powder

Smashbox Limitless 15 Hour Cream Shadow - Quartz

Today I did a light summery make up look on my mum, I kept the base light by using a CC cream and only subtle blusher and highlighter. I used cream eyeshadow as a base as Mum often complains about eyeshadow creasing. I blended shadows from Naked 3 over the top and lined her Lashes. The make up lasted on a hot day where we went for a rather long walk!

Current Beauty Must Haves

1. Lush Celestial Moisturiser - Really good for sensitive skin, it does not irritate my eczema and leaves my skin hydrated.
2. Bioderma Crealine H20 Solution Micellaire - Great for removing make up and refreshing the skin.
3. Batiste Dry Shampoo Light and Blonde - Refreshes my hair between washes and helps with roots between highlights.
4. Maybelline Express Remover - Nail Polish Remover - This is a great product, it is really quick and effective, even removes the majority of glitter polish.
5. Dior Rosy Glow Blush - Makes my face look fresher, makes me look awake even if I have not had much sleep.
6. Dior Addict Lip Glow - Really moisturisers my lips and gives them a nice pink tint.
7. Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer (010 Ivory) Also helps on the days where I haven't had much sleep. I did not get on with the foundation but love the concealer.
8. Primark Pointed Tweezers - Great for getting even the shortest eyebrow hairs. Even better when used with my NO7 Light Up Mirror.
9. Benefit They're Real - A new addition to my make up bag, I will be purchasing a full size of this mascara when I finish my sample as it is fantastic, It makes my eyelashes longer and thicker while still looking defined.
10. Diorshow Brow Styler (001 Universal Brown) This product makes my eyebrows look so much better, My eyebrows are rather fair and look invisible in areas.

Katy Perry Inspired Make Up (2011 Grammy Awards)

 I decided to recreate Katy Perry's make up look from the 2011 Grammy's for a friends BBQ. It was a lovely summers day so I thought it was time to experiment with a bit of colour. Firstly I applied my foundation (Max Factor Miracle Touch - Creamy Ivory 40) with a Real Techniques Expert Face Brush,

 Then I applied my Collection Lasting Perfection (1-Fair) to any blemishes and blended with a Real Techniques Setting brush.

 I then applied Rimmel London's Wake Me Up Concealer ( 010 Ivory) with the same brush as before under my eyes.

I applied my Blusher (Fashionista Shade 1 - Rose Shine) to the apples of my cheeks with my Real Techniques Blusher Brush.

I then applied my highlighter (Soap and Glory Glow All Out) with my Stila Highlighter Brush.

Firstly I applied Shade 17 from the MUA Immaculate Collection to my eyelid and blended up to the crease with shade 9. I also blended a tiny bit of Faint from Urban Decay Naked Basics to define the crease. I used shade 1 under my eyes on a pointed Real Techniques Eyeliner Brush.

I applied Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner (01 Black) to my upper lash line on a Model Co Eyeliner brush.

I then used Benefit's They're Real Mascara on my eyelashes.

I filled in my eyebrows with my Dior Show Eyebrow styler (001 Universal Brown) as Katy always has super defined eyebrows.

Lastly I applied my lipstick, a classic Katy Perry Shade. It's a Mac Satin Lipstick in the shade Pink Noveau.
