30 Day Challenge- Day 25, Beauty regime

I'm not sure if this should be about my pre-make up regime or how I actually apply my make up so I shall do both :-)


-I start by removing any leftover make up with a good old baby wipe, then cleanse my face with Simple's moisturising face wash.

- I moisturise using my Monu revitilising moisturiser that I got in my Glossybox. Then I moisturise a second time using my Nivea tinted moisturiser then apply my MUA primer.

- If my skin isn't looking too great with the tinted moisturiser alone I use a foundation brush to apply Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation then a dusting of Collection 2000's face powder to take off the shine.

- My VIVO bronzer in "Bronzed" goes on next and I blend into my neck if my fake tan is wearing off (I hate the orange head, white neck look!)

- Next to go on is my blusher, its either MAC Dainty or VIVO Sugar Candy. 

- Onto the eyebrows... I have naturally dark hair so fill in my brows with the darkest shade from my HD Brows palette. I then apply highlighter to my cheekbones and my brow bone.

- My usual choice of eye make up is normally black liquid eye liner with a small flick at the end. I find this the quickest and easiest look to create. I then add some mascara to the top and bottom lashes and finish with applying a high lighter to the inner corner of my eyes.

Voila!

New purchases

I actually bought the leggings and dress a few weeks ago now but only just decided to show you. The make-up was purchased from Morrison's yesterday, i always have a peek at the make-up section when we go food shopping.

Sparkly leggings on the left, £8 from Matalan. Shiny leggings on the right, £15 from Next.

Close up of my sparkly leggings :-) I love these!

Burgundy Asymmetric Chiffon Dress, £25 from Desireclothing.co.uk

I bought a Collection 2000 cream puff lip cream before in a different colour and liked it so much i decided to get another, this time in "Powder Puff", £2.99.

Collection 2000 Extreme 24 hour felt tip eye liner in purple, £2.99 (i think!)

The tip is sturdy and has a nice point to it. I found it very easy to apply and get a good flick. I will definitely purchase this in the other colours available.

Left- Cream puff. Right- Felt tip liner.

"Powder Puff" on my lips. This particular shade showed up the dryness of my lips quite badly even with a lip balm underneath. I had to exfoliate and moisturise like a crazy woman, then apply.

Lets throw in a FOTD...



Here i am wearing the lip cream and eyeliner as above, along with...
Nivea Visage tinted moisturiser.
Vivo blusher and highlighter.
HD brows.
Dior mascara in black.

Nivea tinted moisturiser

I first tried this at my mums and was instantly impressed so i had to order some for myself. It arrived this morning.
The bottle says- "Nivea Visage Daily Essentials Tinted Moisturising Day Cream enriched with light reflecting pigments and Vitamin E, provides the skin with essential intensive moisture and enhances your natural skin tone all day long."

It only comes in one shade which is "natural". In my opinion i think its a little dark for people with paler skin. I am pale but fake tan regulary and it suits my skin tone fine.

As you can see in the pictures the cream makes your skin look so soft, it feels it too. Its is a light to medium coverage so any spots or serious blemishes would still be visible but its great to wear under foundation or on its own for "no makeup" days. I have it on today and it is very moisturising, my skin has a "glow" to it and looks very natural. It looks even better if used with Superdrugs Vitamin E Radiance cream (click here to see my post on it).
