Winter Party Look

On the 17th I had my school party/dance and I had a few tries to get my makeup looking how I wanted so I thought I would share my look. I also think it would look perfect for new year!

First off my dress is a tight black dress with a netting over skirt which is from topshop and it was in the sale so it was only £18 instead of £30! Unfortunately it is not for sale anymore but any black dress goes with this look. For the shoes I wore were just plain black heel but they were very small heels and I had them forever so I don't think you can get them anymore. As it is cold at the moment in Scotland I wore a black leather jacket on the way to and back from the dance. I also wore a pair of skin coloured tights to keep my legs warm.

For my make up I started off by putting on my Pink Grapefruit Body Butter from the Body Shop to moisturize by skin. Then I used the L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique Eau De Teint Foundation which is in the shade 100 which has a very light coverage. I used the Real Techniques buffing brush to blend it in. Then for under my eyes and on my blemished I used the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in the shade 1 Fair and blended it in with my fingers. I then used my Stay Matte powder by Rimmel London in the shade 001 Transparent and I used my Real Techniques Powder Brush to put it on. Next I put on my MAC powder blush in the shade Fleur Power with the Blush Brush by Real Techniques. I then did my eye makeup, the mascara I used was the Falsies Volume Express by Maybelline. For eye shadow I used my Rimmel London Trio Eye Shadow in the shade 621 Orion but I only used the white colour over my lid using the Real Techniques Detailer Brush. Lastly on my lips I first put on my EOS lipbalm and then applied my Kate Lipstick in the shade 107 by Rimmel London which completed the makeup look!

And I kept my hair simple by taking the top section and tying it back and curling the part that's in the hair bobble.

Winter Blushes

I enjoyed making my Winter Lipstick blog post I thought I would make a another Winter blog posts so today I am going to be doing my favourite Winter Blushes. I think blushes are essential to make sure your makeup doesn't become washed out. I usually like to go for lighter colours but I did try a darker colour than I usually use and I love it so I think I'm going to start using more blushes that are not ones I would look for.

To start off with an old favourite which I bought at the start of the year. It is the Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher in the shade Lilas s'Or 33 which I think they have redesigned to lid so it might look different to the photos. First off it smells absolutely amazing! It has a shimmer which look like it will come off like you have just put glitter on your face but the shimmer is not noticeable its more of a natural glow. It is a dark pink/red colour which looks so lovely. I think it's about £7.99.


The next blush is my MAC Powder Blush in the shade Fleur Power. It is a light pink colour and it gives the effect of its cold outside. It is nice for all times of the year but I love it a lot in winter. It is a matte finish and even if you don't like the colour there are tones to choose from. It is a bit more money than the other two blushes at £18 but its so wonderful. I am definitely buying more after Christmas because the blush is amazing and I really want to try new shades.


The last blush I am going to talk about is the Sleek Shimmer Blush in the shade Pomegranate. It is £4.49 which is so amazing! It does have a shimmer as suggested by the name which gives it a glowing effect. The packaging is really nice and the smell is very sweet! You have to be careful with this blush because the first time I used it I look sunburned which was not good so you only need a little bit because it is so pigmented.
