My five things

So i've been busy doing other things but i've still thought about the blog and where i want to take it so here is a new feature i want to introduce 'my five things' i know some blogs have a favourites of the month but i see this as more of a weekly post of 'the most reached for' items of the week but i will also sum up at the end of the month the hero's and villians of the month.

So here goes the first of my five things!

So it may be a shock to some but i don't usually wear alot of makeup to work usually just mascara, blush and i little bit of gloss or lipstick. But recently i've been using Makeup Academys Pressed powder (£1,Superdrug) in shade 1. I've used it so much i actually hit pan this morning! I like this because the base colour is a pink tone which matches my skin well and most powders have a yellow base and it makes me look like i belong to the simpsons family, which is not the look i'm into. I also use this to set foundation or over tinted moisturizer after it's soaked in, just to take the shine off. Also for a quid you can't go wrong i always have this compact in my bag just incase i get shiney in the day time.

The second most reached for this week (and for the past few weeks now) is a mechanical eyelash curler from primark which was also £1 but it's really great and it also comes with extra rubber thingies ( i'm sure thats the real name for them) so it will last forever if looked after right. I find this so easy to use, curls my lashes amazingly and it's such a bargain.

Then i've also been using the BeautyUK Palette number 4 which is a neautral colour palette very natural browns, creams and metallics i've been using the cream as a base on the lid then adding a wash of the bronze over the top then using the deep brown in the crease line and the last outer quarter of the lid then blend it towards the inner lid. I am loving a more natural look right now and could use my Urban decay naked pallet but then why use something expensive when i'm only going to work? :)

Ive also loved using the new Garnier BB Cream in light as it makes my skin look and feel so amazing, and it smells great too. It's like a tinted moisturiser but it's not as yellow as Benefit's. I'm so in love with this product right now!

 and last but not least i have been using Volume Million Lashes i really love how this mascara makes my lashes look amazing! All separated and coated lashes give the appearance of volume!

So i hope you have enjoyed this quick post i won't leave such a huge gap in between posts next time!

Have a great sunday evening!
