Triple Birthday Dinner | Get Ready With Me

Cooee,

Well firstly I will explain the title. It was my mum's partner's birthday and my nan's on the 13th of Feb and it was mine 15th so we went out for dinner to celebrate.

So I thought I would do a Birthday get ready with me.

For the face , I used the usually primer Bourjois Happy Light. I really love this which you probably know because I'm always using it on my blog.

Next I used Rimmel London Match Perfection in Ivory. Buffing with a real techniques , this foundation has great coverage and its the perfect match for my skin.

For my eyebrows, I used MAC's charcoal. This is my favourite product , probably in the whole of my makeup collection.

Eyes; I got a new MUA palette in matte called Ever After . I love the colours and plus it's only £4. I went for a brown/black smokey eye. I used Bare as a base. Fade in the centre. Truffle on the outer corner along with Smoke.

I used a real techniques eye shadow brush and a Revlon blending brush.

I outlined my whole eye with liner. Also, I created a little flick along the edge of the eye shadow. I used Umberto Giannini in Black.

I used the Maybelline New York mascara called the Colossal Volume express Cat Eyes.

I didn't want to have bronzer and blush so I contoured with a blush. Using another MUA product which is only £1 , the warm tones are perfect for this look.

For the lips I used the Soap and Glory Sexy Motherpucker Lip gloss.

So that's the finished make up look.

I let my hair go natural with the waves/ curls and clipped back my fringe. Going to be honest, I could not be bothered with it, ha.

I wore my black dress with skin tights and cut out boots. I brought a little rounded hat to sit on my head while travelling to and from.

So that's my birthday dinner get ready with me.

Hope you liked it :)

Ps Part 2 of my birthday is coming tomorrow :D

Top 5 January Favourites :)

Cooee,

Well I have been quite busy recently and have not been shopping much which is unusual for me. So I will do my top five favourites of January.

Well , I got these in the January sales and they are Cut Out Boots from New look. I love these and have wanted a pair for ages. They are quite high and due to my height make me extra tall. It has a bit of heel and the cut out parts of the boots are up the ankle. I plan on wearing these with jeans or leggings and a plain top with a leather jacket to create a rock look. I'm feeling a bright bold red lipstick too.

Next it is the Perk up Artist by Benefit, I think that I have talked about this before or used it in a tutorial but I love this. Whilst doing my friends make-up , she asked for something to cover a small scar. So I used the cover option in the product, she loved the finish the product left.

Due to cold winter UK weather, I needed a new scarf to keep me warm at school. So this snood from Dorothy Perkins is lovely. It keeps me nice and warm. I usually wear it with my Parka Coat but recently I have survived the winter months with just this. I love the colours and it does not clash too much with my uniform. The only down point is that tracing of the wool is often left behind on my clothing after taking it off.

Next my skin has been so dry recently and with teenage spots not planning on leaving my face , I got this from Benefit called tripe Performing Facial elusion. It helps with my dry skin and helps my spots as well, which is a bonus. Its light on the skin and you only need a small amount. I use a half pump at that.

Mascara, well if you looked in my eye makeup draw you would see about ten different mascaras. I needed a black/brown one which I could wear for school. Due to the colouring it is great for school, my year is allowed make-up but years below mine is not. Weird I know , but this mascara from MUA is great. Its the Extreme Curl.

Well... I was thinking that I would include a Music favourite which is Little Mix Salute. OMG I love this album and me and my best friend want to get tickets for one of their London Shows so bad!!

That's all I'm afraid but its my birthday next week so I will be a get ready with me for a birthday meal. I have had a party but I could not do a get ready with me because I had lots to do that day. But I will also be doing a What did I get. Its not going to be much but oh well.

Getting Ready With Me | #RedTourLondon Taylor Swift

Cooee,

So yesterday I went to see Taylor Swift at the London O2. She was AMAZING!! I would totally recommend seeing her !

So I thought that I would do a get ready with me for the concert.

So I firstly straightened my hair using my GHD's. I left my hair down for the concert, however, took a hair band for later on.

I used a primer before putting my make up on so that it will stay on during the night.

Then I mixed both my Collection Lasting Perfection and my natural collection foundation. The collection is lighter than the Natural so I mixed to make my skin colour. To put this on using a Real Techniques Buffing Brush. This brush is amazing to buff your foundation on your face.

 

Next eyebrows , using my MAC charcoal brown eye-shadow to shape them. They look really big in the photo but they weren't that big!!

For eyes; as a base Colour Tattoo in Pink Gold.

On top of that , I used Barry M eye and Lip crayon in nude/pink.

 

To finish , I used Mac Eye/Lip liner pencil in black.

 

Mascara , I used Lash Domination by BareMinerals.

 

To set my make up , I used Stay Matte by Rimmel London.
 

Blush, I used Bourjois Pastel Lumiere in Rose. To put this on , I used a Real Techniques Contour Brush.

 

 Lips, I used Kate Rimmel London Lipstick.

Then Sexy Mother Pucker lipgloss by soap and glory.

That's the make up done.

CLOTHING

I wore leggings ( select) and a gold top (river island) with a black under top ( Primark). For a jacket, from H&M leather jacket. Shoes a wore black Vans.

 

The concert was amazing and the supporting act , The Vamps was Amazing and they are quite big over here in the UK but Go and check them out :) Taylor was amazing and I really enjoyed myself:)
