My Foundation Routine: Autumn Edition

So it is Autumn! Aaaaay my our favourite season ever!

It’s the season of Halloween (not that I celebrate it, but the vibe is so cool), the crunchy leaves on the streets, the picturesque moments, the beautiful colour of orange appearing everywhere, the shorter days, longer evenings, cosy nights, fairy lights and candles, season of jumpers, of layering clothes, of wearing cool boots, wearing “Fall” makeup, of Christmas approaching (not that I celebrate this either but again, I love the vibe) of basically feeling so cosy and wonderful and mmmmm everything.

Actually, throwback, I used to hate this time of year before as I was paranoid of scary people in the streets. I always feared for my dad’s safety whilst he was leaving to work in the dark since I thought the bad people would attack him. I was literally terrified! LOL.

My foundation routine:

1. Pro filt’r Fenty Beauty Foundation in 370 dotted around
   my face
2. With Maybelliene Fit Me Foundation in a much lighter colour dotted alongside the Fenty
3. Dampen a beauty sponge (mine is the Real Techniques one)
4. Use the flat side
5. and dab dab dab

As I bought the Fenty Foundation whilst I still had my summer tan on, the colour is really dark for me right now. It is also too red- toned for me, my fault for not checking that properly. Therefore, I mix this with my mum’s foundation which is MUCH  lighter and has a yellow-tone instead. This gives me the perfect colour match and it looks beautiful together.

Sleek lovin’

 

I recently went down to Superdrug once more, as I do every week! This time I especially went to utilise the 2 for £10 special- which is amazing since many Sleek products are around £10 anyways. I bought LOVELYYYYY ITEMS so here is a little haul! *A review will be up soon*

This is the beautiful Sleek eyeshadow palette in ‘Enchanted Forest’. As I have many neutral shades which are mainly gold/champagne colours, I wanted to go for something a bit different. As you can see this has more darker plum colours with cool-toned blues as well. I can’t wait to actually wear this out, it’ll look amazing. Unfortunately the colours didn’t match my Eid dress. But I have another palette which does- do tell me if you’d like a haul of all of my eyeshadow palettes!

I also picked up the Sleek cream contour palette in Dark. It’s a new product for Sleek and I saw many people purchase it, so I thought I’d give it a go. I’ve also wanted a contour with high pigmentation for Eid as I really want to go for the chiselled face-look this year. I hope this palette will allow me to accomplish this!

So that is all I’ve ought from Sleek!

My next posts will be:

• review on the mentioned Sleek items
• NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams haul
• Eid GRWM Special!

£1 MAC Lipstick?

Hi guys!

I’m really disappointed as I let myself down on this blog, I haven’t been posting regularly. Its been almost 2 months…I think. But that is mainly due to school work. However I have made a proper schedule and revision timetable for myself. And let me tell you, it has been working wonders! But I will do a separate blog post on that so….lemme get on with my recent purchase!

So I have recently bought some things online, but what I found particularly intriguing was the £1 MAC lipsticks. I just had to throw one in my bag. Of course I didn’t know what to expect and wasn’t serious as I knew it won’t be the real thing, but I wanted to try it out. So I opted for the colour Studded Kiss. This is a beautiful berry- red shade- similar to the Rimmel Kate Moss 107.

When I finally got the lipstick, I found the packaging was very similar, almost the real thing but smaller. Then the actual lipstick package was noticably a cheap plastic type, the lid comes off very easily- which I didn’t like. But when I saw the colour, I immediately knew it was MUCH lighter. Instead of being berry-like, it was very much like a hot pink- something I wouldn’t really wear. So I was disappointed 😦 I swatched it, and found that you have to do quite a few coats to get the colour. I guess you get what you pay for, right!

Overall, I wouldn’t wear this on its own as it does have a VERY DRYING FINISH- not really matte. I would probably put a gloss on top or something. However, this purchase was just for fun.

If I saw Everyday Hannah post about this earlier, I wouldn’t have bought it. (Her post was very helpful-I recommend it!). But OH WELL. Guess I could let my younger sister play with this! Anyways I hope this was beneficial for any of you out there. Have you found any good lipsticks on eBay?

See you later- I promise this time!
