The Everyday Face

Since becoming a 9-5 working girl my make up has taken a dive towards becoming more repetitive and more mundane. Gone are the days when I could sit and ponder about which blush to use. These days it's about grabbing the first thing I see and getting out the door as fast as I can. In my last job I was in face to face contact with the public so I always made a special effort to look polished. These days I sit in an office but I like to set aside some time in the morning to make myself up as it makes me feel good. Here is a rundown of the products that I have been using each morning and have quickly become my favourite.

I never thought I would see the day when I was running low on foundation. That day has arrived and I am waiting till payday to splurge on a new one. In the meantime the only one I had left was the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua. While I quite like it, I don't find it amazing or anything special. It offers medium coverage but something about it just doesn't sit right with me. I use my trusty Mac Msf Natural to set, I can't see myself ever straying from this. For blush I have rediscovered Illamasqua's promise cream blush. The perfect candy pink blush that when applied with the real techniques stippling brush leaves me feeling content. 

For eyes lately it has been all about the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette. I have a review of this so I won't go on about it too much. What I will say is that after a shaky start I now hold a place for this in my heart and I love it. For mascara I have been enjoying the Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara. The original version of this is my all time favourite mascara and while this is close to me, it's not as good as the original. Of course I can't forget to mention the Clinique bottom lash mascara, which is not pictured here.

Finally, the only lipstick I seem to be gravitating towards is the Kate Moss 101 Rimmel lipstick. A perfect non offensive pink that is suitable for everyday wear. 

Phew! Typing this all out makes it feel like I apply a million products each day, in reality I spend about 15 minutes in a sleepy haze and am out the door.
