I normally try to make my Sundays days of relaxation and lazy lounging around, but my Sunday a couple of weeks ago turned out to be a busy one right from the start! I had a casual event to attend at 8:30 am and when i woke up (having slept right through 2 alarms), the clock read 7:55 am which gave me 5 mins to get ready and 30 mins to complete the 40 minute drive to where I needed to be - oops.... lucky for me, I could delegate the driving part, and prettify myself in the car. The little mirror and the harsh daylight aren't exactly parts of my favourite environment to do make-up in, but oh well, sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!
Since I had very little time I grabbed the essentials - here are the products that made the cut!
- Rimmel Match Perfection Light Perfecting Liquid Foundation (shade 102 light nude), SPF 18
- Australis Paparazzi Perfect High Definition Concealer
- Rimmel Sexy Curves Full Volume & Curve Mascara (shade 001 Black)
- USHAS 5 Eyeshadow Palette - looks almost exactly like Revlon's Customeyes palette - keep an eye out for a separate blogposts on "dupes"!
- French Science velvet baked blusher (shade 04) - purchased in Russia, unfortunately unavailable in Australia.
- FFleur lipstick in a pinky-brown shade - also purchased in Russia, unfortunately unavailable in Australia.
- Fluffy crease brush by Models Prefer
- Large eyeshadow brush by Models Prefer
- BOE eyeliner (shade #5 Praline) - used as brow pencil
- A double-ended blusher/angle brush - Savvy, and came in a set of several double-ended brushes I purchased a while ago.
Other non-makeup, but still beauty related products in my bag are a Cocoa Butter Lip Conditioner (I've had mine for a while so the name has actually rubbed off of it), an Olivara moisturising skin cream by Michael's and a cotton bud/q-tip!
Here's the final result of express makeup! A very natural look, really, as my aim at the time was to hide skin imperfections more than anything else. |
Have a great day all, and thank you for stopping by!
