October/November Favourites

Hello! I know it’s been awhile since I’ve put up a post, to be fair I was extremely busy with the whole “graduating from high school” thing. I’ll do a post on that soon, but for now, I’ll just show you things I’ve been loving for October/November. (I miss October favourites).

I have tried to avoid buying too much makeup recently, as I have quite a lot to use up, and I need to save money before uni starts. Despite this, I have been reaching for the same items these past 2 months.

Rimmel Match Perfection

This foundation is probably in my group of holy-grails (which is basically empty, and extremely hard to get into). I love the coverage which is medium-full, and I love how it doesn’t cake over any blemishes I have.

Covergirl Flamed Out Mascara

It feels so weird to be raving about two mascaras twice in a row, but since I have bought this one, I have pretty much used it everyday. I love everything about this mascara, especially the brush.

Revlon Colour Balm-Elusive

I’m one of those people that when I hear someone raving about something, I automatically think, “I MUST HAVE IT” hijessicaanne on Instagram always used to rave about this. I bought it and fell in love. It is the perfect everyday colour!

Rimmel Stay Matte Primer

I love this primer for keeping my skin non-oily throughout the day.

Australis Contouring & Highlighting Palette

This palette has been sold out everywhere since it was released. It is supposedly a dupe to the ABH Contour palette but as I don’t have that, I cannot compare. I love the yellow highlighter for underneath my eyes, to brighten them up. I love how they have a choice of matte and shimmer shades to choose from.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Moisturizer

This moisturizer is insane! It is extremely moisturizing but does feel as though you have layers of moisturizer on. I have always struggled with using moisturizer everyday but since getting this I don’t think I have missed a day yet!

Models Prefer Blush-First Kiss

This is a beautiful shade and has so much pigment! Seriously you only need a tiny bit. It has so much product for $10.99 at Priceline. I don’t think I have seen anyone rave about these but you should definitely try them!

Maybelline Brow Drama

It wasn’t until recently that I realised how important brows are! They really do everything to frame your face. This is a fantastic product in ensuring your brows stay in place all day.

Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealer

I am a concealer addict. I am always on the search for the best one, and this was is so good. It works as both a concealer and highlighter. The only downfall is the applicator, I don’t know why but I’m not too fond of brush style applicators on concealers.

Real Techniques Pointed Foundation Brush

I use this brush for both highlighting and dabbing on concealer. I rarely use any RT brushes for what they’re actually “supposed” to be used for. Eh.

1989-Taylor Swift

This album is EVERYTHING. I’m not a “huge Taylor Swift fan” so I’m not bias but every single song on this album, is a JAM. The music video for Blank Space is perfect. If you have yet to listen to ths album I would suggest you do.

Well, that’s all! Hopefully I’ll have more posts soon as now I have much more time on my hands!

Cheerio! 

Everyday School Makeup Rountine

Hello everybody! As I still go to school (only a couple of weeks left), and my school does not condone obvious makeup, I thought I would show you my everyday school makeup routine.

This is a natural makeup look, which may seem boring but I quite like it as no one notices I’m wearing makeup (which excuses me from judgey girls), and I can still feel comfortable.

Base:

The base is always extremely important to me, I love concealers and I think when a base is flawless (but not actually flawless as that is impossible), everything else falls into place.

I begin with a primer, which helps my makeup last the entire day. I have recently really been enjoying my Rimmel Fix & Perfect primer. I love how this sits on my face.

Next I do my foundation. Depending on what type of skin day I’m having, recently I have been using either use the Revlon Colourstay Foundation or The Body Shop’s Tea Tree BB Cream. I adore both of these.

Now my favourite, concealer! I have quite a big collection (maybe a future post?) but my favourite at the moment, especially for undereye circles is the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind, the only problem with this is that it has a sponge applicator at the end. I usually just squeeze out the product as I don’t like the sponge.

For blush, I like a natural pinkish shade, this Australis blush in Rosy Cheeks, it’s such a gorgeous shade. For bronzing I use The Body Shop’s Honey Bronzer in 01. This has a pink undertone in it which compliments the blush well. I don't contour for school as I don't feel it's appropriate. 

I always powder, and depending if I feel as though I need to be mattified, I will use Rimmel Stay Matte, otherwise if I decide I need extra coverage I will use Covergirl Advanced Radiance in 110. 

Eyes:

I would love it if I could wear eyeliner, unfortunately my school doesn’t allow it so I just have to stick with mascara. I use the Rimmel Wonderfull, which feels great on my lashes.

Lips:

A basic chapstick is what I need everyday to keep my lips nice and moisturized throughout the day.

Well, that’s my basic everyday school makeup look. School is nearly finished, which I am very excited about but also kind of nervous.

I hope you have a nice day/night! x

My Everyday Makeup Regime

Hello everyone. So today I thought about writing a blogpost on my everyday makeup routine. Now although I am quite interested in makeup I actually don’t wear very much. This is basically just what I like to wear to school or if im doing something casual that requires minimal makeup. So I’ll get started.

Firstly I use the Covergirl Invisible Concealer in Medium Moyen (3177). I bought this a little while back and it’s been quite good to me although when it runs out I think I will be on the search for a new one. To apply this I just dab it in the places I need it and then just dab-blend it with my finger. After that I will brush it over with my concealer brush (I don’t actually know the name or brand of it I’m afraid)

Next I apply my foundation which is currently the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in Ivory. I love the feeling of it on my skin and also it has a very unique smell and at first I was quite put off by it, but it is actually a really nice smell. I apply this with my Bold Thin Lizzy brush although currently I am in the midst of finding the perfect brush.

Lastly I use Covergirl lashblast fusion mascara in Very Black. I’m going to be honest, I would not buy this again, it’s too clumpy for my liking although the upside it is water resistant and does last all day.

So this is all the makeup I use for my everyday makeup. I am aware it isn’t much but it’s all I think I need while at school.

Kelsiefood. Amateur at everything.
