YSL Rouge Volupte Shine - Face of the Day

 
'I made an effort today' look but I really just slapped on some cream eyeshadow and ran a glossy lipstick onto my lips. I have had both of these products for a long time and I'm only just starting to realize how much I love them. The Mac paint pot in groundwork is a beautiful natural brown colour and its easy to blend out - no harsh edges. The YSL Volupte lipstick in 12 is one of the shine formulas, which is something I normally don't go for. I have been finding it so easy to slap on, while still achieving an intense colour.

PLUM COUTURE

As you may know from one of my past posts I am in love with this Rimmel Glam Eyes quad - it looks amazing, doesn't it?! It contains a gorgeous combination of colours and yes, I managed to smoosh all 4 shades on my eye lid. I finished the look off with the darkest lipstick I own to give it a vampy winteresque look.

ESTEE LAUDER Illuminating Primer

I have been looking for a new primer to try out, and seeing as that I was using the Estee Lauder Illuminating Perfecting Primer (AU$48) on customers, I thought I may as well give it a go myself!

Like the name suggests, it illuminates and perfects the skin. I use this primer whenever I want my foundation to sit on my skin more evenly and last all day/night long. 

I wear it most the time with my L'Oreal True Match foundation as I don't think the foundation looks the best on its own. But on the other hand I sometimes wear it underneath my EL Double wear Light foundation to make look that teeny bit better and last a tiny bit longer.

So the moral of the story is; if  I want L'Oreal True Match to look just as nice as Estee Lauder Double Wear Light, I have to wear a primer.

Whats your favourite Primer? :)

Raspberry Bite - Face of the Day

Lately, I have been really into red/berry/coral lips, as you can probably tell from this post and my last. Even though winter has pasted and its Spring now in Australia, I have really been loving reddish lips with bronze eyes and cheeks.

My Everyday Skincare

A sneak peek into what I use to take care of my skin morning & night! :) 

Simple Cleansing Makeup Wipes – Wipe off make up. 

Dr Lewinns Gentle Cream Cleanser – Cleanse off make up. 
Clinique Mild Facial Soap – Cleanse Skin. 
Dr Lewinns Facial Polishing Gel – (Once a week) Exfoliate skin. 
Clinique Clarifying Lotion 1 – Gentle exfoliate & Cleans off excess gunk.

I have highlighted the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair, because I think I’m on my 3^rd or 4^th bottle by now. I would say it’s my favourite skincare product of all time!

As a disclaimer, I am the Estee Lauder consultant at a local chemist and it has a Clinique Counter as well (which explains the sample sizes). But I wouldn’t use these products unless they truly worked for me – which they do! 

Whats your holy grail skincare product? :)
