Make Up On The Run

When being forced into having to apply make up on the run, both convenience and speed are key. Here are the immediate 'throw into bag' products when in a rush, but still wanting to look somewhat put together.

The Classic Red lip

The classic red lip makes a women a women... if she does it right that is. Its classy, its sophisticated but at the same time, its makes you look effortlessly put together. It portrays a strong, independent women with power and in the modern day, those are getting more and more frequent... and yes, we are still talking about the humble lipstick.

MONTHLY FAVOURITES: June

Ever since watching and reading all the monthly favourites on youtube and blogs, I have wanted to do my very own . So when starting this blog the first thing that I screamed (inside my head of course) was "I finally get to do my very own monthly favs!!". The point is- I am VERY excited to be doing this post! 

Apart from finishing college, not much has happened in the month of June and because of that my make up has been kept quite simple. So in terms of beauty favourites, there all products that I have been using on a daily basis. 

Purchases at Harvey Nichols Beauty Bazaar

Watching an interview with Miranda Kerr's make up artist, Noni Smith, I had my heart set on Nars velvet Matte lip pencil in 'Red Square' which is a classic orange based red that suits all skin types and enhances the whiteness of your teeth which is ALWAYS an added bonus! 

My other purchase was the Mac's Cremesheen glass in 'Double Dare' I immediately got drawn to this colour as it reflected Mac's lustre lipstick in 'plumful' which is one of my favourites. With this in mind, I wanted to rush home and layer the two to enhance that warm Berry colour, it may not be a summer shade but I was quite content with the purchases I made! 

Here are the swatches:-
