EVERY DAY MAKE UP ROUTINE

MY EVERY DAY MAKE UP ROUTINE

Hi guys, I thought I would share with you how I do my make up on a casual day. I will list the products and also tell you what sponges and brushes I use. Unfortunately I haven't taken any photos but I am working on those. For now I hope a good couple of paragraphs are okay.

PREP
Okay I prep my face by splashing a bit of water onto my face, leaving it damp, and then I pump two to three pumps of Cetaphil (oily skin) onto my hand, I rub it into my palm and then apply it all over my face. Currently I use my hands but I do want to find a face brush that will give better results.
After the face wash I will dry my face with a flannel and then go straight to my make up.

MAKE UP
Okay so lately I have been LOVING wearing two concealers and both are drugstore and raved a lot about. So first I wet my beauty blender (Real Techniques) and take my first concealer which is Collection, and I put this on my eyes as a base, and over my spots. I then blend this in with my beauty blender. Then I use my second concealer which is Maybelline Fit Me and I apply this under my eyes and down my nose. I do think the Maybelline one is a little bit lighter than the Collection one but in the bottles they look exactly the same.

I then grab my foundation which at the minute is NYX Stay Matte Not Flat Foundation. I have super oily skin and this foundation is great at reducing the shine everywhere. I put this everywhere on my face and then blend it all out. I let my foundation sit for a bit before I powder it, and whist that is on my face I do my eye make up. I use a palette called Around The World from Cargo Cosmetics and I use the shade called Toronto, for my brows. I then take a light shade from the palette and add that over my lid to brighten my eyes. I add my favourite mascara which is Rimmel London Extra Super Lash, and it's insane.

After my eyes are done I grab my powder which is Rimmel London Stay Matte powder in the shade 001 Translucent. Once this is all over my face I add some lipstick in a neutral shade, spray my face with Barry M setting spray which smells amazing and does the trick all day, and I am good to go!

Sending love, Shan x

Disneyland Paris Trip 2019

I’m walking right down the middle of Main Street U.S.A It’s time for another Disneyland Paris blog, and it’s a summer one! We went during a different time of year and I won’t lie, I was questioning whether it would feel like Disneyland to me seeing as I have only witnessed it in the shivering temperatures that November has to offer, and of course, decorated for Christmas! Obviously, I was not disappointed, and I thought I’d tell you about our trip and what I found different going in summer/autumn. First of all, I was walking around in a jacket. No bubble coat, no beanie, no scarf, it was strange but so nice! I could jump on and off rides without wondering where I put my gloves or if my beanie had flown off of my head on Space Mountain. The weather was lovely and warm, and the sun was shining so much! I was however expecting crazy queue times for rides, with the weather being nice and warm, more people would want ...

The Weekend is for food and friends

Long time! Hi guys, it’s been a while, and for that I can explain. I got a new job! Which came right when I needed it. I’ve been adjusting and spending any free time with my boyfriend, family or just laying down watching Netflix haha. But I have been on a couple of trips and want to tell you about them soooo, I hope you enjoy this blog, which is all about our summer trip to Bristol! So James’ best friend lives in Bristol with his girlfriend, and I’ve become really good friends with his girlfriend, they come to visit us often as our home town is his friends home town, so we decided we should take a trip to visit them down in Bristol! We travelled down on a Friday after work and stayed with them till Sunday, the journey was around 4 ish hours on two different trains, I’m pretty sure there isn’t a train that goes directly but it was a late train so we just chilled out and slept a little. I don’t know what I expected Bristol to be like but it didn’t disappoint. Being around our frien...

Spa Day!

Hi guys, I know it's been quite a while since my last post but I've been wanting to tell you guys about the most amazing weekend break myself and my boyfriend had a couple of months ago. We stayed at the MacDonald Hotel and Spa in Cheshire, as a graduation gift from his parents. It was so relaxing and so so beautiful. I thought I would just show you guys some photos from our time there and talk about our stay. The Grounds The hotel had this calming aura about it and it was beautifully decorated inside and outside. I didn't take half as many photos as I would have like to but I got a few of the hotel and our view. The grounds of the hotel were stunning, one the right hand side of the hotel there was this little bridge that takes you to the business building that the hotel has and to the spa and the swimming pool. The sky was the prettiest, and in my opinion make the photo look better. James is slowly learning how to be the best Instagram photographer, I love...
