Peace Be Upon You

It’s been an incredibly long time since I shared a new FOTD and that’s purely because I genuinely stick to the same things and not a lot changes haha.
I’ve always been intrigued by heavy makeup and blended eyeshadows, but I know this is a look that isn’t for me. I feel like it’s overdone and ageing.
If you don’t know who @Namvo is, get to know! She’s the ultimate queen of perfecting that orgasmic skin glow! Now as much as I love a good dewy dumpling look as seen here in this [p o s t], I also love a good dewy skin and natural, wearable glow.
I like to keep things simple with my makeup and hopefully this is what shines through in my recent looks!
It all starts off with PREPPING the skin first.
TONER || The Ordinary – Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution
FACIAL OIL || Elemis – Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules
MOISTURISER || Origins – Ginzing Ultra-Hydrating Energy-Boosting Cream
Then we move onto the makeup…
FOUNDATION || Georgio Armani – Luminous Silk Foundation – 6.25
PRIMER || Charlotte Tilbury – Wonderglow
CONCEALER || Nars – Creamy Radiant Concealer – Ginger
EYEBROWS || Anastasia Beverly Hills – Dipbrow Pomade – Medium Brown
CONTOUR || Nars – Tahiti Bronzer – Laguna
BLUSHER || Illamasqua – Powder Blush – Ambition
MASCARA || Lancome – Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara – Black
LIP LINER || Nars – Velvet Lip Liner – Patong Beach
LIPSTICK || Ciate x Oliva Palermo – Satin Kiss Lipstick – Praline
FINISHING SPRAY || Pearlessence – Hydrating Face Mist – Coconut Rose
You’ll see I’ve not listed a lot products and there’s no sign of a highlighter or finishing/baking powder – that is intentional. I’m trying to minimise the glitter bakey-cakey look and keep things simple and quick, at the end of the day this is an every day look. Occasionally, I’ll wear eyeliner only if I have the time to do so. Otherwise this is it, this is me.
The picture below is in sunset lighting after I’ve finished a 9-hour shift at work, thought I’d show how the make up looks and be real about it. As you can see the under eye has started to crease in a fair amount and oxidise ever so lightly, in my opinion, I just think a lot of the darkness and greys comes out. Also, I’ve only had to touch up lips throughout the day. I’ve not re-sprayed my face so the foundation and primer have been amazing in retaining that hydrated dewy glow.
Overall, I’m pleased with my everyday makeup look, it’s a quick, realistic and youthful – just how I like it! 🙂
I hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful. I enjoying talking about makeup and I’m currently working my way through my own stash before purchasing and reviewing more 🙂
Until my next post xoxo

My situation is as follows, I get zero help from family and the only government handout we’re entitled to and claim is Child Benefit (approx £80 a month, but isn’t everyone entitled to this?). As such I’m forced back into the working system to ensure there’s a roof over our heads and bellies are being fed. Don’t get me wrong Isa’s daddy DOES work… but one paycheque is just not enough to get by. We need to hustle together collectively, in order to continue to rent our flat and save that extra bit on the side for “the future” – a phrase I hear often and yet still sounds so distant.
I am a full time working mom. It’s hard out here for start up parents, I do wish the system was a bit fairer or that society was a bit more forgiving. I understand that having a child is a personal choice and I wouldn’t change it for the world, unexpected or otherwise. My advice to you new parents-to-be, would be save and prepare as much as you can for your babies, it’ll relieve a lot of the initial stress and you may just enjoy what parenthood has to offer.
Hi guys, you won’t believe it – Saf’s only done it again! She’s let me review an amazing makeup collab and only gone and sent me six lipsticks from the 
The quote that was picked out for the packaging, quite frankly does make me smile, and definitely sets you off with self-confidence and a strong attitude. I love how a lipstick makes me feel complete and finishes off a look.
Now I love red lips, it’s such a quick, bold, clean look for that extra pop 💋 I usually gravitate more towards the maroon and burgandies… the darker reds. But from the whole collection I absolutely adored PIGALLE WESTERN because it’s the brightest red I wore and one which I was scared to try and genuinely thought I would dislike, but turned out to be the opposite! I’m really pleased to have come across this colour and be given the opportunity to swatch and try it out for you.
E I D MUBARAK, EVERYONE.
