Date Night Make-up.

Hello Readers!
 

I had planned to do my July Favourites post today however my camera was out of charge and I didn't have the charger with me so I could not photograph my products. Then I decided to do either the boyfriend or girlfriend tag video with my boyfriend Chris. We sat down and filmed both today, however they are on his computer and the files are too big to send so none of my post ideas worked today!
 

So with not much to work with I decided to do a post which I had originally planned for Monday, when my internet connection was down. On Monday evening I went out on a "date night" with my boyfriend, Chris. We went out for a meal and then went to the cinema so I thought I'd make a bit of effort with my appearance since we were doing something special. I quite liked the makeup look I had created so I thought I'd do a post in order to show you all.

 

As I was doing something special I decided to create a brown / copper smokey eye look but I wanted to use a few metallic, shimmery shades as that's quite a big trend at the moment. This look took a bit of playing around with as I wouldn't say I'm good with eye makeup in the slightest but I'm quite happy with the results.

 

Apologies for the quality of this image as it is from Instagram, but I thought I'd throw in another image of the entire look and list below what I used to create this make-up look.

So that's it for this post, I hope you don't mind that this post was done on the wrong day. Sorry if the product description seems a bit long winded and complicated to follow also, I used a lot of products and just wanted to explain clearly what was used and where.

Hope you're all well!

FOTD #1

Hello Readers!

I've decided to start a new series of posts, entitled FOTD. I really want to do an everyday makeup routine but I keep switching things up so regularly all of a sudden that I don't even have a set everyday look anymore! So my FOTD posts will allow me to show you what makeup look I'm currently wearing on that day! I was toying around with this blog post idea for a while as I wasn't really too keen on posting images of just my face, it makes me slightly uncomfortable and also makes me cringe a little bit. However, I enjoy these types of posts from other people so I might as well give it a go myself!

I'm trying to sort out an everyday makeup routine so once I have one I'll do a post on that. As I mentioned in my previous posts I've been enjoying creating a nice bronzed, glowy summer look so that's what I'm wearing in this post. It's quite simple, and not as bronzed as what some other people's summer makeup looks are as I don't tan and I'm very pale. All products used will be listed below.

Please ignore my frizzy crazy hair, I was too lazy to do anything with it today. Such a great beauty blogger..

Let me just say now that I'm not claiming to be any good with makeup, I'm certainly no makeup artist but I have an interest in makeup and like playing around with it. I hope you find this post somewhat enjoyable or maybe even useful! Maybe It'll inspire you to try out some of these products I've used?

Let me know what you think!
