GRWM - Prac!

Why hello there!

Long time no see! Since I have just finished (as in a week ago) my placement for the term I thought that this would be a perfect time for me to do a GRWM (Get Ready With Me). 

 In the mornings I do not have time to take a shower as that would mean waking at 5am (and I am NOT a morning person), I cleanse, tone and moisturize my face with these products. I have been using these products for years and would definitely recommend purchasing them! 

Ignore my bad face/clothing choice today

 Once I have finished moisturizing my skin, I then prime with the NYX photo-loving primer. Which is a clear formula. 

I then use my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation in 100 IVORY dabbing on with a sponge. I have always used a sponge to apply my foundation and I find it incredibly useful and easy to use. I also found with this foundation product that it is really easy to build up coverage where needed. 

Most days before prac I have massive circles under my eyes! So I then apply the Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer to hide those circles and other blemishes on my face!  

It's then time to set my concealer with Rimmel's Stay Matte powder in 005 SILKY BEIGE with my Nude by Nature Kabuki Base Brush in circular motions all over my face. 

I would then prime my eyes with Napoleon Perdis eye primer. I then use my Naked 3 palette (WHICH I LOVE!) to put Limit and Trick all over my lids using a Nude by Nature eye shadow brush and a RealTechniques base shadow brush. Blending with a RealTechniques deluxe crease brush.

Then it's time to apply my mascara Covergirl's lashblastlength in black brown to my upper and lower lashes. 

The blush I have been using most recently which gives me a lovely cheek colour is Too Faced Sweet Hearts in Peach Beach, when I first bought this product I would have LOVED the shade Candy Glow but since my bag was already over my spending amount I could not splurge! *sad* I apply blush with the RealTechniques Multi Task Brush. 

Then just to finish I would add some Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter in 080 Strawberry Shortcake. This lip butter is a really natural looking colour on me and as I'm going for a really natural look it works perfectly for me! 

Final Look, ignore the crappy hair!

I hope you enjoyed this Get Ready With Me! I might do a few more in the future! You may recognize some of the products used from this post I made in February as I have only changed a few things! 

I have heaps of posts lined up for the next few weeks so please stay with me! Having this time off will be great to get back into blogging which I am really looking forward too!

University, Work, Friends & Blogging.

Why hello there!

What a hectic two weeks it has been. I'm am incredibly sorry that I have not uploaded anything over these past couple of weeks. Let me start with the obvious (which I stated at the end of my last blog). 

My friend has been having a super hard time lately and I have really needed to be there for her as stress of university and life has been controlling the both of us. To spend so much time with someone you love is so incredibly wonderful. Always remember to tell people in your life how much you love them, because sometimes it might be your last. 

Again, university. Being a final year student is harder than I thought! I kinda thought I could just blow this year by without working my butt off. Well that was a (not) well thought out plan. I go to prac for 3 weeks and each afternoon, I go to work (I am so tired). This is why my Wayback Wednesday series is put on hold for now. It should be back in about 2 weeks, but that could change. There is a four day weekend in a few weeks which I am hoping to write a whole lot of posts for you, so all I have to do is press that little publish button. 

I hope you can all stick with me and I will be back as full as ever in no time (I promise). 

Week One - Prac

Hey there! 

My blog has been pretty bare lately and I will admit I have been in a bit of a writer's block since I have been so busy with work and my final prac starting. During this past week I have been going to prac and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to show you what make-up I have been reaching for. I wanted to look natural instead of caked with make-up. 

Products: (top to bottom; left to right)

• Covergirl Lash Exact Waterproof Mascara - when I first started make-up this was my mascara and I have suddenly fallen back into the habit of using it. 
• Benefit Rockateur blush - New to my collection this blush gives perfect coverage and blends in perfectly with my skin/skin tone
• Ubran Decay Naked 3 palette - These colours * are perfect for a natural look, they also blend together perfectly and easily in the morning. 
• Rimmel BB Cream; Light - This was an impulse buy last Sunday when I realised my BB cream I had ordered online would (obviously) not make it for me to wear on Tuesday, however this had worked well with my skin and gives good coverage. 
• Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter (colour 080 Strawberry Shortcake) - Again, another impulse buy in Priceline last Sunday, but the colour is perfect and stays on for a long time. 
• Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder - To keep the BB cream in place I found the perfect thing a few days earlier and I'm so glad I can reach for this everyday. 

*here are the shades

A look I wore

I hope this helps some of you who need to create a natural look for a party/something you are doing. 
Stay safe

Overwhelm?

Why hello there, how has your week been? 

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed by what is happening in your life that you don't know what you should be doing? Well that happened to me this week. I've been so overwhelmed with what I will be expected to do for the next year that I can't think of anything else. Then I become nervous because what if someone doesn't like me? or something that shouldn't happen happens and I don't know how to deal with it. 

After speaking with one of my best friends I figured that this year is a better year to feel these feelings because I'm not meant to know everything and it's part of something I know hardly anything about. 

Now that I have met and spoken with my mentor I have started to feel less nervous and overwhelmed. It's also nice that I'm not the only prac student at the school and my best friend is there with me. 

See you next week! (:
