friday face

friday face - after using strobe cream from mac to give a dewy look to my face, i use my pro longwear foundation (in n18). i apply this with my real techniques expert face brush. i only recently bought this foundation and i think it's right up my street with it being long lasting and quite a medium, buildable coverage. i then apply some bronzer to contour my cheeks. today i went for mac's bronzer in 'golden' using real techniques' blush brush. this bronzer always looks way too dark and scary for someone as fair skinned as me but using the tiniest amount on a brush works wonders and gives me a great bit of colour. using the same brush i then apply my blusher, 'peaches' by mac. finally i dab a little bit of creme cup lipstick over my lips which gives the perfect pinky 'your lips but better' colour when pressed on to the lips rather than applied normally. last but not least i fill in my brows using sleeks brow kit in light using an angled brush. and voila!

today i went into newcastle city centre to get some lunch and buy some new leggings as my favourite pair have finally died and got a hole in them, nooo. :( i ended up not getting in to town until late and by the time i had eaten my lunch, h&m (where i always buy my black leggings from) was closed. :( so gonna go back and get them tomorrow. i've not done much else today, i was meant to go to the dentists for a check up earlier but i had a ridiculously bad migraine from the moment i woke up so canceled my appointment to try sleep the headache off. i think i'm gonna spend the rest of this evening having a bubble bath, maybe watching a film, with soya hot chocolate and peanut butter brownies mmm.

outfit #2

  

scarf - h&m (old) / shirt - monki (£25) / leggings - h&m (£9.99) / loafers - new look (£19.99) / bag - primark (£12 i think?!)

today i laid in bed until about 11am which was absolute bliss - first sunday i've had off work in forever! i then got up and ready and popped in to town with my mum to pick up a few bits and pieces. i bought some hair dye, a new lipstick, a maxi dress, skater skirt and a big cosy jumper. :) i also bought some ingredients to make gooey peanut butter brownies. i've seen recipes floating around all over the internet for these so thought i'd give them a go at some point through my week off work as they sound right up my street. i've not really done much else today apart from laze around and watch tv shows online ! tomorrow will be more productive. (so she says...)

outfit #2

dress - topshop petite (£28) / boots - primark (£10ish?!) / necklace - gift / belt - accessorise (£5)

i am in love with this dress, i don't usually go for bodycon or midi length but this dress is just yes. it's perfect to wear out shopping or to go for a wander round town but at the same i could wear it out to a meal or for drinks, you can easily change it from casual to a bit more dressed up just by changing shoes or adding some different accessories! it's super comfy and i love that it isn't that cheap bodycon material where it just goes all misshapen after one wear. i'll definitely be wearing this one to death over the coming months.
