As you know by now my sensitive skin breaks out over high coverage products, for this reason I try
to stay away from foundation but the temptation is too much sometimes and
having troubled skin means having to hide it.
I went into The Body Shop looking to try out their new Insta-blur
product, after hearing many YouTubers raving about it, the temptation was again
too much. I ended up purchasing the Body Shop Tea Tree BB cream instead after
trying it on the back of my hand and falling in love, it's the highest coverage
BB cream I have ever tried and isn't quite at the coverage of foundation so is
bang on for my skin type.
The texture is so lovely and despite containing tea tree
oil it doesn't make me oily! I apply with my new favourite brush - Eco tools
flat foundation brush. It goes on so effortlessly and covers redness and pores so
well that I don't feel I need the Insta-blur anymore.
I wear it every day to work and apply my Maybelline Fit
Me concealer where needed, but no powder as the BB cream leaves a lovely glow
and doesn’t stick to dry patches like a foundation.
I’m still addicted to my trusty Maybelline Great Lash
mascara for a purse friendly eyelash God and picked up this bargain multipack
from TK Max for £5.99! (usually £4.99 each)
On the lips I have been venturing past my usual Rimmel
Kate Moss pink in 101 or my No7 Lip Crayon in Delicate Pink with the Maybelline
Colour Sensational gloss in Stellar Berry. I love the raspberry deep pink tint
it leaves on the lips which instantly glams up any look. I used this on Friday
night when I went straight from work to cocktails with friends and it immediately
made me feel like I had made loads of effort. The gloss is hydrating and not
sticky which is a great result considering the price, I usually press the gloss
into my lips with my fingertips for a more subtle daytime colour and layer it
up for a night time look.
These products are all I have been wearing on an everyday
basis and are most definitely my current makeup favourites for a quick and
natural everyday look.
To keep it natural hair-wise I have been tying my hair in
a Princess Jasmine ponytail at nights for heatless waves. Simply tie hair in a
ponytail and add hairbands down the length of the pony, however closely or
tightly you want the waves to be. I use three ties in total and loosen the hair
between each tie for high volume waves that last all day!
Steering away from beauty I upgraded to an iPhone 5c this
month, in pink of course. I couldn’t be happier with it so far and the camera
is amazing. Here are some snaps from my month;
