Face of the Day

Its been a while since I've done a FOTD post, and although I have a LOT of reviews to do, I fancied doing something a bit more relaxed... 

Nothing too complicated here as you can see - oh I'm wearing the new Revlon PhotoReady foundation here (I'm shade number three, shell - amazed is not the word when I discovered I am not the palest shade in a foundation for once!). I'm liking this foundation a lot overall, and I haven't taken on the appearance of Edward Cullen, which is nice.

I fancied a play with my green Inglot palette, so I dug that out too;

I'm really impressed with these shadows actually - they are well pigmented, and go on smoothly. They also blend well, and stay put well without a base... and they are very well priced too - these five shadow palettes cost about £15 if my memory serves me right...
I wish Inglot would hurry the heck up and get more shops in the UK! Also, I wish you could buy the pans on their own too... but thats by the by...

I also used this cheap and cheerful mascara from C2000 called Big Fake - I'm only allowed to buy very cheap things until we move and I have paid for my makeup course. I expected NOTHING from this mascara to be completely honest, as it only cost about £4. Also, when I saw the size of the brush I expected to just get this mascara all over myself...

 Seriously, this brush can be seen from space - its HUGE. But you'll also notice a distinct lack of clumps here - this mascara is actually not bad - it doesn't, in my opinion give massive false lashes, but for £4 it does a really decent job.

As you can see in the pic, the mascara gives decent definition with no clumping, rather than big false looking lashes. I'd repurchase this for an everyday mascara, rather than a night time dramatic one. Its easily removed with an oily eye makeup remover or facial oil too. Oh , I have Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Lucky on the waterline too.


On the cheecks I used my Illamasqua bronzing duo for contouring and blush, and on the lips Crystal Baby from Estee Lauder, which I love... Eyebrows are all my own (although they have asked me to apologise for their ungroomed state).
