On Friday I went to a bar in London to celebrate my friend's 18th birthday. I wanted to show you what I wore makeup-wise, though you can also see the top I wore, which I paired with jeans and heels!

My face is a bit shiny here, which I don't really like! haha

Organisation and Storage

Hello everyone! I am back from the residential charity camp week that I mentioned in my previous post. I can quite honestly say that it was the best week of my life so far.

Today I decided to show you my make up organisation and storage :)

^ This W H Smith set of drawers is where I store all my makeup

^ This is where I keep my brushes and Mac Palettes. I have five palettes - four eyeshadow palettes and one blush palette, although they are not all filled.

^ These are the top three drawers of the W H Smith set. The far left drawer contains a few eyeshadow palettes, the centre drawer contains Mac and Barry M pigments and Mac paintpots and the drawer on the right contains a mish-mash of eyeliners, mascaras, lipliners, eyebrow pencils etc etc. I also keep a few loose eyeshadows in a box on top of the set of drawers which you can see in the first photo.

^ My 'Lip drawer.' In here I keep my lipsticks, balms and glosses.

^ This is the drawer in which I keep my face powders, foundations and concealers.

^ Finally this is the drawer in which I keep my blushers, bronzers and highlighters.

I hope you enjoyed this post. I appreciate that this might seem like a lot of makeup, but recently I have been buying less and using more.

I will be posting again soon! xx

Shameless Posing - FOTD

Today I met up with my friend to go shopping in London - Kings Road to be precise! We did a bit of shopping and I bought a gorgeous pink blazer from Zara which I intend to post about at the weekend when I can photograph it in daylight.

I am wearing..

Eyes:

Lancome Hynose Mascara
Lancome Artliner in Black

Face:

Mac SFF in NC15

Mac MSF Natural in Light

Mac Studio Finish Concealer in NC15

Mac Select Cover Up Concealer in NW20

Nars Blush in Deep Throat (applied to the apples)

Nars Blush in Madly (to contour)

Nars Laguna Bronzer

Lips:

YSL Rouge Volupte in No1 - Nude Beige (a new buy!)

I apologise that this is such a simple look, but I had applied it all in a rush, hence the no eyeshadow! Hope you are all well, and I will be posting again very soon :) xx

Some Lancome Goodies

Hello everyone :) Today I went to my nearest Lancome counter, my local large Boots store, to pick up a Hypnose mascara and Black Artliner (liquid liner.) As I went to the till the lovely MA informed me that I was qualified to receive a Gift with Purchase as I had bought two products. Yay for free goodies!

^ I love the Hypnose mascara - this must be my third or fourth tube :) It thickens, lengthens and curls all at the same time. It's rare to find a mascara that does all three well. Now that I think about it, it must be my third or fourth Artliner also! The artliner comes in a small selection of colours, but I go for black every time. It comes with its own applicator, which is so good that I have never felt the need to go out and buy a liquid eyeliner brush.

^ What was inside - Eau Micellaire Douceur Cleansing Water, Bi Facil Sensitive Eyes Instant Cleanser, Genefique Youth Activator, Hydra Zen Neurocream & a mini Hypnose Mascara (not photographed.) It is just me or do the Lancome product names sound very scientific?! I suppose it's just their marketing!

Lancome is not a particularly 'young' brand - although many buy their eye makeup products such as their lash primer and mascara, I very rarely hear their lipsticks and blushes talked about, for example. I can understand why this is the case - I think their target age group is probably for maturer ladies, but I think it is a brand which is well worth checking out when you next pass by the counter!

More soon xx
