Everyday Makeup

Hey! So I thought it would be a good idea to show what the makeup in my May favourites actually looked like on my face! Like I said in that post these are products that I used either daily or so often it was actually a bit crazy.

So first off is a close up of the eye look!


So here is an up close (and kinda scary) picture of my eye look! I am not super confident with liner so that's why I haven't winged it out or something like that. The mascara that I am currently using is the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara and I'm really enjoying that! This is a really simple look and something that takes no time at all to do! I was running late the other day and my full face took me 10 mins! (and I still made it on time to class!)


So here is both eyes done. All that is going on here is the Inglot Eyeliner Gel in #94 with Shiro Cosmetics pigment in Extermination (from the Fullmetal Alchemist Collection) over top. To blend the shadow a little I used a brush that had a bit of Naked from the Urban Decay palette. This just finished of the look and blended everything out nicely. Again its super simple! Just place the pigment all of the lid, add eyeliner and mascara and bam! You're done!


Here is a full face shot, in this photo you can't really see the shadow but that is okay, you can see the over all appearance of the look and that is more what I was trying to achieve in this photo!


Last photo is me trying to look down and get a good shot of the eye look with the rest of my face! I feel that this looks like I have put in a bit more effort than I actually have and I really love it! This is simple and easy to change up. All you would have to do is change the shadow/ pigment and it gives a completely different feel while still being super simple!

May Favourites

Another month done and dusted, so that means its time for all the monthly favourite posts to pop up in the beauty community. I didn't have to many favourites this month but there were a few products that def received a lot of love this month!


These are my favourites for the month! Not a huge amount of variety but these truly have been some staple items used throughout the month. The items from top to bottom and Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz, M.A.C. Mineralized Foundation, Korress Anti-Ageing Primer, Shiro Cosmetics eye shadow pigments in Master Sword, Extermination and finally Inglot Eyeliner Gel in #94.

First off the Anastasia Brow Wiz is a product that I have already raved about in this review. The reason I love this product is because it is so easy to use. It's also super easy to fix a mistake if you stuff up, which is a huge bonus as someone who is still developing a brow game. This is the shade Taupe and I find that  this matches my brows well, it is most prob a little dark but with the rest of my face done it doesn't look out of place at all! I honestly use this every time I put makeup on!

Next up is a product that I had gotten in the month of May, I was looking for a new foundation as I was a little sick of the ones I was using, a friend where loves M.A.C. and said I should try a foundation. I have always been interested and so far things have been good! This is my first time trying a powder foundation and I am super impressed! I will def be looking into more in the future and am glad that this is a part of my collection! I have only been wearing this since I got it!

Next up is the Korress Anti-ageing primer, which I have just recently written ta-da. I am finding that this has been really helping my makeup last throughout the day and I am so happy! This was a Sephora 100 point perk so that is why it is small, but don't worry this sample has been lasting me sooooo long!!

Next are the pigments by Shiro Cosmetics, I don't think I have talked about these before, but I honestly love these shadows, they are such beautiful colours. I have usually been putting these over the Inglot Eyeliner Gel in #94. by doing this it helps makes the pigments more noticeable and stronger as they can be a bit sheer. I have been wearing this for an everyday look and I feel it looks great and is super simple. Which means if I'm running late this saves me time and still looks like I'm pretty well put together!


So this is my monthly favourites for the month of May! I has so much fun last month doing so many things and having a great time!
