Sunday Night Make Up Shake Up #35

Another week of make up awaits. I am going for simple but colourful and slightly more bronzed than usual. Hopeful thinking for summer, if it decides to come back...

Avon Ideal Flawless Foundation Light Pink - I got this a few weeks ago and am yet to use it! It matches my natural skin tone pretty well so I have had to wait until most of my fake tan had faded! I can't wait to try it out!

NYC All Day Long Foundation Classic Biege* - I received this last week and I am curious to see how it fares. This retails for an extremely reasonable £3.99, and if it turns out to be a half decent everyday foundation, well that would be pretty awesome!

RMK Makeup Base - I received this a few months ago in a Joliebox, and haven't tried it yet. I have gathered that it works best on more dry skin types, so I am not sure this will work well for me, but if not it will still be handy for my kit.

Natural Collection Cream Blush Rosy Pink - I love this, such an affordable cream blush. I must get more. So should you, for £1.99!

E.L.F. Studio Blush Peachy Keen - I just fancy a natural shade this week, due to using bright colours on the eyes.

NYC Colour Wheel Mosaic Face Powder Bronze Glow* - Another £3.99 bargain from NYC, this is a fantastic bronzer. Matte, not at all shimmery or glittery, decent pigmentation that can be built up for a natural bronze glow or used to contour. Brilliant, loving this at the minute.

CoverGirl Lash Blast Fusion Mascara - I just can't bear to part with it yet!

NYC Show Time Glitter Eyeliner Stardust Turquoise* - This is a gorgeous shade of turquoise with tiny sliver flecks that glides on really smoothly. Admittedly, not a colour I would normally wear, but the recent Pixiwoo video on Easy Bright Summer Eyeliner inspired me to try it. Yup.

NYC Kohl Kajal Eyeliner Diamond Gold* - A brown toned gold liner that also is very smooth to use and will be hopefully brightening up my eyes this week.

NYC Liquid Eyeliner* - NEW. FAVOURITE. Have used it every day recently. Absolute staple now!

BarryM Lip Gloss 3 - This is a pale, shimmery gloss with lots of tiny glitter particles in it. It tastes slightly plastic-y to me but I rarely use it so trying to crack it out again.

NYC Liquid Lipshine Brighton Beach Peach* - I have had this for so long the writing had rubbed off! Definitely a favourite but recently neglected gloss. Beautiful colour and smells lovely too.

Have a great week everyone!

Sunday Night Make Up Shake Up #34

Another week has went past without new posts from me! I have had so little time to myself lately that I haven't even had time to read other people's blogs either. I am hoping life calms down a bit soon!

MeMeMe Seventh Heaven Moisturising Facebase - I thought I would crack out this lovely cream again! My skin seems to be pretty well balanced these days but I like to minimise any dry areas and this really helps.

Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation 51 - I am including this again this week as I have found my favourite way of wearing it during last week. As I mentioned in that last Make Up Shake Up, this stuff mixed with Healthy Mix is absolutely fantastic. A great finish that wears quite well throughout the day. So pleased I found a way to use this!

Bourjois Healthy Mix 51 and 52 - I need both shades due to fake tannage that will fade throughout the week!

Becca Beach Tint Watermelon - I received this in a Joliebox and only used it a few times. Need to use it more! I prefer this on the cheeks rather than as a lip stain.

Sleek Blush By 3 Lace - A gorgeous blush palette that I have neglected due to my love of Illamasqua blushes, whoops!

Z Palette various eyeshadows - I got this Z Palette during the week and have put a few of my single shadows in it, 4 Wet 'n' Wild, 2 MUA and 4 Milani. I am hoping having them in a palette now will make me use them more!

NYC Liquid Eyeliner* - After raving about how brilliant the Essence liner is last week (it still is!) I received this a few days ago and.... oh my. Essence's liner has a rival!! This seems great so far, yay!

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil Milk - I rarely use this. It will be my eyeshadow base this week.

No.7 Extreme Length Mascara - A small mascara I got in a gift set. Not bad but nothing to write home about.

BarryM Toffee Lipgloss - The safe lip choice!

Miners Fashion Matte Lipstick Coral - I didn't wear this last week, oops! Must try harder!

Have a great week everyone!

*PR Sample

Sunday Night Make Up Shake Up #33

I promised myself this week that I would get up at least one post during the week... yet look where we are! No posts between the make up shake ups. I seem to have so much on at the minute, and blogging just has to take a back seat sometimes. I have such a full schedule over the next few weeks too, I will have to try and manage my time a bit better!

Here is this week's selection...

Murad Skin Perfecting Primer Dewy Finish -  I usually prefer mattifying primers, but I will try and use this sample this week, and see how it goes. The only thing I dislike about this is the tint; grand when I have fake tan on, like now, but when I am pale it can be... interesting, let's say!!

Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation 51 - I haven't been overly impressed with this foundation so far, as it can be drying and the colour is too dark for my natural skin one, even though it's the palest shade!! I used it today and as I have two layers of tan on, it was now too pale! Howeverrrrr, when mixed with Healthy Mix in 52 it was wonderful. Lovely combination.

Bourjois Healthy Mix 51 and 52 - For mixing with the 123 Perfect, and two shades to match my skin tone as it gets paler throughout the week!

Illamasqua Cream Blush Sob - LOVE THIS. Must buy more!!

Vivo Blush with Highlighter Duo Pink Primrose - I love mixing my brush in both sections of this to create a really glowing blusher! Fantastic little item.

NYC Individual Eyes Palette Brown Eyes - I am including this item again this week, as I will be going fairly easy on eyeshadow to save time, so if I do fancy using it, having them all in one palette is easier.

Estée Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Mascara - I am going to be a terrible beauty blogger and admit that this proabably should be binned, but I am so sentimental I don't want to! This will be its last week of use. Swear.

Essence Liquid Eyeliner Black - After including this in last week's Shake Up I am so glad I did - it's love! I do still love my Maybelline Gel Liner, but with this you don't have to faff about with a separate brush, and the applicator is fairly precise anyway. I didn't bother with flicks really, but love just putting a thin line of this along my upper lash line as a simple everyday look.

Miners Fashion Matte Lipstick Coral - I am not normally very daring with my lip choices, but I adore this bright orange lipstick and want to use it more.

E.L.F. Studio Matte Lip Colour Natural - For the days when I'm not feeling too brave! A gorgeous matte rosy pink colour that I think would suit most ladies. And a bargain from E.L.F., as always!

Have a fantastic week, everyone!
