Yay For Orange Lips ♥

Hey lovelies!

Hope your well! :)

What a few weeks it's been, my life's gone from nice & calm to non stop pretty much overnight lol. I've had some pretty amazing news though.. My best friend found out the gender of her baby last Thursday and guess what.. It's a GIRL!! I am literally beyond excited, not just for her, her hubby & her other two children but for me too! I love babies & I can't wait to spoil my bestie & her baby girl over the next few weeks. Yay!! :)

Anyway.. Thought I would do a quick blog about my new obsession with orange lips!  If you'd have asked me even 6 months ago if I would wear an orange lipstick I would of just laughed & told you not to be silly. Whereas now I love it! I recently uploaded a pic to my Instagram of me wearing one of the new Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains in the colour "Rendezvous". I must say it's possibly my favourite lip product right now & very rarely go more than a few days without wearing it. It is so glossy & creates the perfect shade of orange on my lips that matches my skintone. (Well foundation shade anyway.. Hehe). The only thing I would say is that it really doesn't last more than about 3 hours so I do end up having to reapply it quite a few times during the day. I don't mind though personally as thats what that little mirror in your bag is for.. Right? If your not a massive fan of the lip stains though there are plenty of other brands who have a lush orange lipstick/gloss in their range as well. One of the obvious brands has to be MAC who have a colour for everyday of the year pretty much, the colours I would suggest for MAC would be "Sounds Like Noise" "Lady Danger" & "Meltdown" which are all gorgeous! I'm on my iPad right now so can't seem to add pictures of these colours so you'll just have to imagine.. (Or google the, haha), silly iPad lol.

As always thank you for reading this post, any questions please feel free to ask. My Instagram is just chelseashead if you would like to follow me for more regular updates on what I'm doing :)

Lots of love,

Makeup Of The Day ♥

 

Hey lovelies,

 

Gosh its a bit chilly out at the moment isn't it, brrrrrr. The cold weather is definitely not very far away anymore! So while I still can I thought I would do a more girly makeup of the day before all my winter shades start making an appearance.

So as we all know we never wear the same makeup products over and over again so I picked out my general go to items to show you.

 

Before I apply anything I always go over my face and neck with a makeup wipe from simple just to freshen my skin up after being in bed for hours. My nose especially can get very oily during the night so I just feel better starting with a clean face.

 

So first products I apply would be my Lush Tea Tree Water Toner and my Chanel Hydra Beauty Crème moisture cream. The toner is my absolute favourite, it smells delicious yet because its lush its also extremely good for your skin. The tea tree also works as an antibacterial & antiseptic for people like me who have oily & spot prone skin. I can honestly say I have never found a toner that suits me better & price wise its ideal too. The Chanel moisture cream again is one of my favourites, its quite a heavy cream but since using it my skin has felt a lot healthier and has a little boost to it. These two items are definitely my savours.

 

Next I would apply my Le Blanc De Chanel sheer illuminating base. This is a white liquid, almost like a light coverage foundation but instead of applying it to the whole face I use it as a whitener to help hide any red patches/blemishes that I'm not happy with. I really do love this product, having fairly oily skin I tend to find my face can appear a bit more pink toned than normal so this really helps, even if just to boost my confidence. Oh Chanel you are amazing!

 

After these I would now start my base makeup, first I would use my Benefit Pore Professional as my primer, this product is oil-free while also being lightweight which is ideal for my skin type. Next I would apply my Garnier roll on pen for any dark circles under my eyes, For my foundation I would use MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NW15,/NW20 (depending on my amount of fake tan at the time). For concealer I would either use my MAC Moisture Cover in NW15/NW20 or again from MAC my Pro Longwear concealer again in NW15/NW20. I tend to use the longwear concealer for any redness or blemishes while using my moisture cover for under my eyes as I find that one makes me appear more fresh and awake. When I occasionally get a nasty spot or anything other than a red patch I would also use my Bourjois corrector concealer stick as it has a much thicker coverage. I would then set all this with my MAC Mineralise Skinfinish Naturals powder in medium.

 

For blusher I used my new MAC Scene To Be Seen Mineralise Skinfinish powder, I love the shine and colour of this product, Really suits my features. Love it! Highlighter of the day I used the Soap & Glory Glow All Out face powder above my cheeks, under my eyebrows and anywhere else I felt needed a pick me up.

 

With my eyes because I currently have eyelash extensions, I only applied mascara to my bottom lashes, for this I used my false lash telescopic by L'Oreal with the Topshop waterproof pencil eyeliner in the colour Ebony for my water and tight line. On my eyelids I used my Naked 2 pallet by Urban Decay, I started with the colour Foxy then used Chopper and YDK in blended into the crease. I love the smokey eye look at the moment!

 

Every four weeks I get HD eyebrows done at my local beauty centre so I use the HD shadow pallet and HD brow mascara to shape and fill in my brows.

Finally for lips I've used my trusty carmex as a base with my Topshop lipstick in Innocent which is definitely my favourite right now, I'm so inlove with pretty pink lips!

Hope you enjoyed reading this sorry if it dragged on, I think I possibly wear to much makeup? Ah well, its fine :). If you have any questions about any of the products shown please feel free to comment or drop me an email to chelseashead92@hotmail.co.uk. Speak to you soon!!

 

Lots of love Chelsea xxxx
