FOTD || Rose Gold Overload

Hello everyone, today I have a face of the day post for you and so rightly named 'Rose Gold Overload' because I am loving anything rose gold at the moment and that obsession is taking over my life! I love how the colours look on my skin and work well together for the day and the night. This look is something that I have been going for constantly as it is just so easy to do and looks amazing!

As you can see I don't use a lot of products and that's what makes me love it even more! Lets start off with the face...

No7 Airbrush Away Primer - In my bid to finish up any samples that I own, I have started to use this primer to use it up. Not the biggest fan of it as it doesn't help with dry skin, however with this foundation and helping with diminishing pores it does really well.  

NYC Skin Match Luminizer Foundation - Oh lord, this foundation is amazing! I have been using this everyday for the last 2 weeks because I love everything about it. It gives me coverage, makes my skin look flawless and glowing, it does take two layers and you can build it up even more as on first application it is very light coverage. I think this will be great for the summer time as it really sits well on my skin with the primer, and for a very little price you are getting lots of product. There are 5 shades available and you will find one to match you I promise as I did! And it has a pump which makes application so much easier. 

Collection Concealer - Well, there really isn't much to say about this concealer is there! I talk about it all the time and therefore won't go on and on about it. But let me tell you that using this foundation and then this concealer gives my skin a flawless finish that I am so proud of! 

The Body Shop Powder - I like to set everything with a powder, and this one from the body shop also gives me a little bit of coverage along with helping to control the oil on my forehead. Body Shop have blown me away with this product and I want to get my hands on some other things from their line. 

Sleek Rose Gold Blush - I just knew that, the moment that I first laid my eyes on this blush and swatched it - I would fall in love. I am not usually a fan of blush on my skin as I have never found one that doesn't over do it. But this one from Sleek is perfect; it doesn't make me look like I have lots of makeup on my face and gives me this lovely glow on top of everything else a fresh glow of colour. 

Then on to the eyes and only two products this time, but both are my current favourites! And what started this whole look off...

Naked 3 Palette - If you haven't tried, bought or even looked at this palette yet then you need to because I promise you this will win you over. I love all the shades in this palette but there are a few colours that catch my eye every time I go to use it. I like to apply Nooner all over the lid as this matte shade is perfect to use as a base, then on my lid to build up the colour I use Liar and then in the outer corner and crease I take a mix of Burnout and Dust which just work well together. Using Strange in the in the inner corner and brow bone pulls everything together. 

Soap&Glory Thick and Fast - This mascara just does it for me. I am not one to try out a lot mascaras because I don't always wear them and love my great lash one from Maybelline but this one is just mighty fine! I love how much volume it gives to my lashes and they just grow in size and thickness because of the formula of the mascara. I can't use this on my bottom lashes though as the brush is too big for my small eyes!

October Favourites ♥

First of all I would like to apologise for not doing a September Favourites, there wasn't a great deal of new things or even old things that I had been loving that month so I thought instead of boring you guys I would just leave that month out! However, I have got some October Favourites to share with you and my oh my is there a range of them!

First up skincare, I have been loving both these things from Nivea this month as I suffer from really bad dry skin in the autumn and winter months. So these have been my skin care saviours! The Nivea lotion for me is great to use on my legs, arms and body as it really nourishes my skin and leaves it feeling silky soft all day long. The pink tub, is there hydration express primer and holy moly I am in love with it. There will be a full review coming up on this but for now let me just tell you that this primer works so well at keeping my make up on my face all day; but it also helps with the dry patches and gives them love so that my foundation doesn't appear flaky and patchy.

Another skincare saviour this month, has to be the Tea Tree oil from Superdrug, I used a little bit of this on a cotton round every night for a week to soothe and calm down my breakouts. Not only did it help with the redness and spots, but it also helped with the scaring I have from previous breakouts. The scent can be very intimidating for some and was for me at first, but after a few tries and go's with it you just become immune to it.

Then for the more beauty items, I have been loving the body shop oil control powder. I have used this nearly everyday on my face over the bb cream I am currently using and it has such a nice finish and works well with my other products to give me a long lasting finish. A nail polish that has to be mentioned in this months favourites is 'Black Cherries' by Rimmel, I haven't stopped reapplying this on my toes since the start of the month, even though it lasts for ages I like to redo the colour as a touch up. It is a lovely deep purple with a slight hint of black in it. For school I have been loving both these lip products equally as they both give my everyday look some natural glow. The baby lips is in 'Peach Kiss' and the Party Proof lipstick in 'Kitty' are both nudes, the party proof one is more of a pinky nude then the other which is a brown nude. Both of these give my lips some colour during the day and complete my whole face.

 

Here are the more random favourites for this month - starting off with food! I have been craving these Caramel Snack A Jack's all month, they are the perfect sweet treat when you want something sweet and sugary yet is very healthy for you. I like to eat these on their own as well as with a spread of peanut butter on top - heaven on a plate.

This months music favourite has to be from The Vamps and their song 'Can We Dance', I only really heard this song a few weeks back and since then have completely fallen in love with it and the band its self to be honest. The song is very catchy and great to get into a good mood on one of those days..

Something else that I have been loving these weekend is the new series that Khila a.k.a 'MissBudgetBeauty' has started on her vlog channel. For those of you who don't know who she is then.. where have you been? Khila is a mum to two, with a vlog, blog and beauty channel! She has just finished doing Vlogtober and I have been loving one of the videos as part of her 'Khila Talks' series which is where she does like a chat show with other youtubers and bloggers about life! The one I have been loving is about Time Management, and I really learnt a few things from that video. 

If you haven't heard of Khila before or never seen her videos or even blog posts then I highly recommend you do so! 

Take a peek in inside my travel make-up bag ♥

Travelling. My love - whether it be up and around the country or around the world in a plane I love it. Today I will be showing you what products I am taking with me for a few days away with the family, so I am not taking a lot of things as I just want some make up that can make me look half decent and that I can take from day to night..let's get start on!

First up my face. I have to take my UD Naked Palette with me everywhere, it is such a staple item now that I own it and I can use it to change my look from day to night and the shadows are so versatile. 

Then I have a newer buy this is the Simple Kind to Skin BB Cream, and the reason that I am currently loving this so much is because it is designed for sensitive skin!! hallelujah!! A bb cream that won't break me out, and it has tiny shimmer particles to illuminate my skin for a fresh faced look. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Yes. I am taking two concealers, but there is need for them both..I use the Collection one for under my eyes and redness and then the silver one is the one from Witch which is for blemishes and works like a wonderful. Powder love in the winter is from The Body Shop and is such a soft texture and feels amazing on the face and is full coverage in my opinion so over the light coverage of the bb cream and my concealer I love the  coverage. 

Taking brushes that are useful for everything is the best plan when travelling, the gold one you can see is the 'dupe' that I own for better blend of the bb cream and to set my concealer. The pink 'actual' RT brush is their multi task brush which I can use for powder and everything else. 

As I am currently in lust over lip products I have to take options with me, first is MUA Power pout the perfect berry colour for the autumn time and the formula for these things are amazing. Then a Revlon lip butter for those lazy mornings and Peach Parfait is great for an everyday look. Party Proof in the white packaging came in my birch

box for this month and it a matte lipstick that I have fallen in love with, perfect for the night time. 

That is everything I fit in my Jack Wills make up bag, and boy oh boy I still have room for all those skincare essentials!
