Makeup Makeup Makeup

When I was racking my brains thinking about what I should post next I thought what would be more interesting than a post about makeup.

Since I have a short time to get myself ready in the mornings, time is of the essence and I need to be able to apply makeup whilst half asleep in under 10 minutes (that doesn't always happen) so that I'm only ever fashionably late. 

So here you go, here are some of my favourite go to makeup products that I love to use on a daily basis that help me look socially acceptable even when all I want is to crawl back into bed. 


   
Often I go for a natural look with winged liner in order to enhance and define my eye shape, I have blonde hair and the Sepia Ink is a lot less harsh on me than using a black liner. Another thing about this liner is that it doesn't dry shiny like most liquid liners - J'adore! I have to say the Soleil Tan De Chanel is a life saver, for somebody as pale white as me it effortlessly adds a light bronze glow without looking too over done. 

The Ted Baker Shimmer Bronzer was a gift at christmas and I love how sheer the colour is, I like to use it as a highlighter (I don't usually use a blusher) and it adds a natural dew to the skin without lumps of glitter everywhere. I use it in place of my MAC soft and gentle. 

The NARS Turkish Delight is a great nude pink lipgloss for those natural days (as well as a previous favourite of Kimmy K herself). But sometimes I do love a bright red lip and my favourite red lipstick has to be YSL. 

This is a Rouge Volupte lipstick in number 15. I absolutely love this colour, it's got a hint of orange which suits my complexion perfectly and it has a perfect velvet finish. The other thing that makes it outstanding is it tastes and smells delicious and doesn't dry out my lips!

Finally, I have to admit my other obsession (along with shoes) is for a good lip balm. I may have missed the hype with the EOS lip balms because I thought that I had enough lip hydrants but after recently purchasing Summer Fruits, I realise that I had been missing out so much. The flavour is amazing and every time I use it I just want to eat it. It also doesn't leave a glossy finish on your lips so is perfect for applying before your lipstick or lipliner.
