It was a really fun day and the spread was absolutely incredible!
I thought I'd share with you what I wore and my make up for the day.
I got this skirt back in January from ASOS. It's by Mango. I absolutely love the colour of this skirt as I wear a lot of tan and golds so it's pretty much right there in my comfort zone! It has a really comfy elastic waist band and two slits up each side which was great for yesterday adding some extra breeze! The bottom is see through so there's a little jersey mini skirt attached on the inside. I actually love this skirt so much I bought it in navy too! My top is from Topshop. I really love their loose camis as they are so easy to wear with so many different things and very comfortable. My necklace is also from Topshop, which I only bought the other day in the sale for £4.50. Amazing bargain considering most of their jewellery is over £10.00. I wore my hair in a top knot which I just gathered all up in a rough ponytail and then twisted and gripped around. I'm quite surprised my hair actually stayed like this all day as I washed it that morning and it would normally just fall right out! What I'm holding in my hand are my favourite ever summer item right now....my GUCCI sunglasses...ahhhhh I love them. I bought them at duty free on the way to Mexico which was back in January so I was so happy when the summer arrived and I could put them on again. They were pretty pricey but since owning a pair of DIOR sunglasses a few years ago I made a decision that I would forever have a pair of designer sunglasses in my life!
I'm not really too experimental with my make up and I tend to go for a more natural look...mainly because I have no idea how to use eyeshadow! Sad I know! So here's a list of the products I used...
- Simple day cream - I really love this moisturiser. I have quite sensitive skin so I don't like paying too much money for fancy skin products if it's going to cause an issue with my skin! I had a reaction to the MAC primer and I was devastated! I stick to the simple brand because my skin is ... simple. That sounds ridiculous but you know what I mean!
- Garnier 5 Second Perfect Blur - I've only been using this product for a few days. I bought it in boots as it was offer for £9.99 rather than £12.99 and I've heard great reviews and it was the last one left so I grabbed it! I wouldn't say it's a good as the picture shows on the advertisement....ie all the blemishes have magically vanished after using it but it certainly helps hide them. It's also really velvety which I love and gives my skin a really nice finish.
- Chanel Vital Lumiere Aqua 20 - I've been using this foundation for many years now. I used to wear Pro Lumiere but as I got a bit older my skin changed and it was just too oily for me. Lucky for me I have a very close friend who works for Chanel so is always on hand to help! I love this foundation as, hence the name, it's water based so doesn't make my skin oily! The shade is probably a tad too warm for my skin tone but I do like a very slight warmth to my foundation. I find it lasts all day and blends really, really well. I've seen reviews of people saying it can seem to settle in dry patches, to be honest I do find this sometimes but I only ever get a dry patch between my eyebrows and it's only every now and again so it's not really an issue for me.
- Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealor - I actually have no idea what shade this is because I throw it in my bag everyday so a lot of the label has worn off! I'm not really a huge fan of this...don't get me wrong, it doesn't cake or anything like that and the shade is perfectly fine, I just don't find it particularly gets rid of my dark circles hence throwing it in my bag everyday for re application! Not ideal.
- Soleil Tan De Chanel - Another favourite! I bought this in October and it's pretty much all gone now but it has a firm spot in my daily make up routine.
- Benefit High Beam - An absolute favourite of mine and forever a re purchase. Best highlighter I've tried in my opinion. It gives such a lovely pearly glow on my cheek bones, nose and brow bone.
- Chanel Pudre Universelle Compacte 30 Naturel Translucent 2 - I've had this powder forever and it just doesn't seem to run out it's great! I just apply this with a powder brush after I've applied all my creamy products just to set everything and it's just right for me.
- MAC Gel Liner Blacktrack - I've had this for a really long time and I really love it. Once it's on...it does not budge which is amazing for a hayfever sufferer! I apply this with one of MACs angled brushes on top and bottom. I didn't do a flick, I just wanted to add a bit more definition to my lash line.
- Benefit They're Real Mascara - What can I say about this mascara!? It is just absolutely incredible! I recently did a post about this product so check it out!
- MAC Well Dressed - The first blusher I ever purchased from a MAC and now forever a re purchase. I've said before how much I love pink blush and this product seems to last a really long time. It's the perfect pink and has a slight shimmer to it too.
- Bobbi Brown Rose - To add even more of a highlight I apply this over the top of my blusher. Again, I previously did a post about this product. I love it!
- Soap And Glory Arch De Triumph - I've only recently started filling in my eyebrows and I don't know why I didn't do it sooner! I think I was worried I'd end up with a scouse brow! This pencil is really great. Though I do find myself sharpening very regularly. It has a highlighter pencil at the other end but I don't tend to use it as I've already applied High Beam and the Arch De Triumph is less subtle and a bit more difficult to blend!
- Chanel Rouge Co Co Shine 68 Candeur - Probably my favourite lipstick ever! A nudey light pink which lasts. It couldn't get better than that in my eyes! I was told this is a limited edition shade...OF COURSE! Sad times.
What did you get up to this weekend?
