What's on my face #2

I went to a Rugby dinner as a proud WAG recently.. can I get away with that title? 

I wanted a simple make up look that mainly relied on a pop of colour on my lips, so here it is:

Face - Benefit, porefessional; Laura Mercier primer (radiance), Collection concealer, Rimmel match perfection foundation (classic ivory 101). Topshop cream blush in head over heels, Topshop highlighter glow stick, Laura Mercier bronzer in Dune Bronze. 

Applied with :- Real Techniques, expert face brush. 

Eyebrows - Rimmel 002 hazel brow pencil. 

Eyes - Collection work the colour eyeshadow pencil in vintage blush 3. B. precise long wearing gel eyeliner in black. 

Applied with : Real techniques, fine liner brush. 

Lips - Burts bees lip balm & Topshop lip cream in Sweetie.

Wish List.

I love a good nose at someones wish list, only problem is, I usually add something from theirs to mine! Here's what I'm lusting after at the moment. 

Topshop jeans are the best you'll ever buy, I mean ever. Nothing else on the high street compares to these, they're so flattering, soft, they retain their shape and last yonks! (Warning: you might have to do the 'topshop squats' the first time you wear them) 

I think I want these just because they're beautiful, that's a good reason right? We all love a bit of rose gold and these just are.. beautiful. Sigh. (Zoeva Brushes)

This rather different looking lippy is the Barry M Genie - it changes colour based on the alkali levels in your lips and will display a shade of pink that should suit you perfectly! I'm really curious to see what it would comes out like on mine. 

I've been reading about the benefits of these little babies for some time and I definitely need to give them a go, you can chuck them in almost anything you're eating not notice they're there and reap the benefits! If you want to try before you invest in a large bag, birchbox have the answer here. 

The final piece on my wish list was the Glow pots from Topshop but I can't find the colour I want online, I guess another trip to the store is necessary.. Oh damn ;)

New discoveries - Topshop make up.

Yello lovelies! 

I've been hunting for a highlighter for some time, I wanted a mid market one for a change. I've heard a bit about the budget MUA one that's £1.50 and apparently that is good, stonkin good price! 

But I decided Topshop needed to be graced with my presence in the make up department. 

So I picked up the Glow Stick in 'Play Up' it's £10 and just so easy to use. So convenient just bam up the cheek bones and down the nose and you've got a bit of structure to your face, particularly if you're like me with hamster cheeks. 

Then I picked up a cream blush.. I have to be honest, I am one of those people who sticks there fingers into the testers just to feel the consistency.. this is amazing. 

I couldn't quite describe the texture of Benefits Porefessional and neither can I for this, it's light, airy, smooth and creamy. 

I got it in the colour 'Head Over Heels' it's a corally orange, perfect for Spring/Summer tones and especially if you're not short of a bit of redness in the cheeks anyway this adds another dimension. I'm using it quite subtle at the moment but if you're brave enough you could make a real statement. This was only £7!

At the time of me popping into TopShop they were doing an amazing free Lip Gloss offer so I got this 

Bold lips are in ladies! and this will certainly make you stand out. I LOVE it. It's in the colour 'Sweetie' and is £7, it stays on all night (even after a glass or two!) and I can't say enough good things about it.
