FACE AND PRODUCTS OF THE DAY (FAPOTD)

So today I decided I'd do something a little different, and here it is! Today I'm doing a face and product of the day- basically I'm going to show you the look I went for today, and the products I used to make it happen... So here's my face! 


The products I used are as followed:

The foundation is Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in shade 52 Vanilla. I teamed that with Rimmel's Stay Matte powder in the shade 01 Transparent, and a No7 Natural Blush in the shade 20 Honey (my favourite blush of all time). On top of these products I used my Sleek Face and Contour Kit in the shade Light, to highlight the cheeks, nose and Cupid's bow.

I used Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Éclat in shade one as both and under-eye brighter and concealer, then applying a MAC eyebrow crayon through the brows in the colour Lingering.

I then applied Natural Collection Liquid Eyeliner in black on the lids to create a very small winged liner effect, making sure to stay close to the lash line to make my eyelashes look fuller. This, coupled with Maybelline The Falsies mascara on both top and bottom lashes to finish the eyes.

I then added a little bit of Vaseline to my lips and used my GHD hair straighteners to finish off the look completely!

And there we have it! I hope you enjoyed this post and the look I created, feel free to leave comments, and let me know if you use any of these products... Or if you don't like any of them!

See you next time, Rosie!

RIMMEL SALON PRO - SOUL SESSION

So I'm sure you all know about my love for nail polish, and my collection just keeps growing and growing week on week! But recently, my new favourite is 'Soul Session' - no 237 - by Rimmel in the Kate Moss range.

         

It is such a beautiful neutral nude pink colour, that is very subtle but classy. I love the packaging, the lid of the bottle, the name, the formula is amazing and the brush is so easy to paint your nails without any mistakes! Basically I love everything about this nail varnish. It's great for work, for casual occasions or for formal occasions as in my opinion it screams class! 

On the back, it claims to last ten days as it is a gel based product, and although I wouldn't say quite ten days, it is very long wearing and doesn't chip off - which is a surprise for me because nothing seems to ever stay on my nails! I haven't used a base coat or top coat and it has already lasted a good 5 days with no chips!

I absolutely love this nail polish and am trying to hold myself back from not extending my collection! Thanks for reading guys, leave me a comment I love to hear your opinions and recommendations. 

See you next time, Rosie!

UNA BRENNAN AND AVON SKINCARE

I had heard an awful lot of positives around Una Brennan's skincare range in the blogging world, and when I went into Boots the other day it was luckily on offer so I decided to finally give it a try! 

I haven't had a proper cleanser in my skincare routine for a very long time, as I never seem to find any I love enough to keep repurchasing time after time. On it's own the Una Brennan Cleanser is a good product - it's lightweight, almost fragrance free and the packaging is easy on the eye and very minimalistic which always instantly attracts me. It makes the skin feel softer and plumper, and also removes any last bits of left behind make up. Although I've only been using it for the last few weeks, I have been using it every single night and morning - which is the thing I love most about it!

       
After bathing with my Una Brennan cleanser I used my other regular exfoliator and combined the two together in my routine. After cleansing, I used the Avon Deep Pore Cleansing Rub - which is more of a mask type product. I would not recommend this product for people with sensitive skin, as it is a very deep and hard exfoliant which could prove an irritation to some people's skin. I absolutely love this product, to say its Avon's own range it always performs and always leaves my skin feeling super smooth. The packaging isn't great but the product does the trick and I love it!

Using these two products one after the other ensures my complexion is fresh and plump every single day! I love this combination. If you have any products you use as a combination then please let me know in the comments - or maybe just leave me a nice little message!

Thanks for reading guys, see you next time, Rosie. X
