Bare Minerals - FOTD

This whole face is courtesy of Bare Minerals since the sets I got for Xmas included a hightlighter *does a happy dance*
It is safe to say that I LOVE this brand. Truly love it! Shall list products used at the end.

So, it was really hard to get a good picture. It was 2pm and bucketing down when I took these and light was not great!



As this natural light shot shoes, it was grey and dark-ish outside so I have a blue hue, but you see the colurs slightly better than in artificial light.



This is a close up of the eye. Totally forgot to do an open eye one to show the mascara but will review that soon.

This pic here, well I added it because THIS is the kind of picture I have to sift through to try and get good shots, man, I pull some weird faces!

This look was created using the following *deep breath* All bareMinerals.

Bisque Multi tasking concealer.
Fairly Light Original SPF Foundation.
Azalea blush
Glee all over face colour
Turn On Multi tasking highlighter
Polished High Shine eyecolour
Black Flawless Definition Curling mascara
Flair Pretty Amazing lip colour

Bare Escentuals is available from department stores, QVC, Amazon and www.bareescentuals.co.uk

My first Face Of the Day and a brave one!

This is the L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow I got free in the gift pack. Its ok, patchy application though, will dampen the brush next time. Keep the black disc, it keeps the powder pressed down, even if you shake it (of course I did!) the shadow is still patted down. This is shade Hour Glass BeigeOk, so I am not blonde! But this red caught my attention, the raspberry shade was far too pink, so went for this in Cassis Passion and its pretty nice, smells of Parma Violets though, which I hate!



The lippie is pretty glossy, as this is my first foray into red lips for a long time, I blotted twice to take the shine away. Maybe when I am braver I will leave it!

BootS No.7 Mascara

Exceptional Definition

I have more mascaras than I care to admit, or actually count. I LOVE this. Love it. Buy it, especially if you can get a lovely £5 voucher, as I did! I love rubber bristles, this is the only mascara I have used that doesn't require a comb through after! Love!

Miners Auto Lash Mascara

Auto Lash Mascara

Ok, I didn't buy this. I got it free when I subscribed to Glamour magazine (along with loads of other make-up) but having got annoyed with a different mascara (more on that another day) I grabbed this. It is lovely! Not a night mascara though, unless you like subtle lashes. But for day time it is wonderful. The brush is pretty generic, old school. None of the fancy combs and new fangled wonders of modern mascaras, but it pulls through the lashes beautifully, has just the right amount of product per removal from the tube and coats, curls lightly and defines lashes just enough to make a difference but not in a dramatic, false lash way. A Bargain!
