An Update..

I feel like all I do in my blog posts is apologise for not writing enough! I haven't posted a blog since March so I felt like I would update you all before I began writing weekly posts again! It's now nearing the end of May and I've finally finished my second year of uni and have a full Summer ahead of me. So since I last posted I have had some great nights out with my best friends in Sheffield and Manchester, I started working again! I got a spray tan for the first time since prom and I went on HOLIDAY! (a post dedicated entirely to this will be posted shortly)! And to top all of this off I got my first car.

And celebrated my friends 20th birthday in Manchester!

And finally I got my first car!

A lot of my photos are taken from Snapchat, and my username is chelseaowenxx. I will be doing weekly posts from now on so look out for more beauty reviews! If there is anything you would like to see just leave me a comment below.

GRWM: DATE NIGHT

GRWM: DATE NIGHT

My previous GRWM post was very popular so I decided I would do another but this time for a date night look that I did last night. Below is a picture of all of the different products that I used to create the look. 

I began by prepping my skin with the Simple Kind to Skin Light Moisturiser and then began creating my base. To create my base I mixed Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation with the Seventeen Wow! Primer {I reviewed this product in a previous post, you can find it HERE!}. 

This is my skin bare with just some Vaseline on my lips and the Simple Moisturiser.

I then used the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer to conceal underneath my eyes and the blemishes and spots that I had, and finished this with the Mac Studio Fix Powder. Following this, I applied some light contouring using Hoola by Benefit and then highlighted with Lightscapade by Mac. I finished my base of with a flush of colour to my cheeks and used Pink Rose in the Rimmel Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush.

I then moved onto my brows... for my brows I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomrade in colour Blonde, and set them with Benefit's Gimme Brow. I highlighted underneath them with Benefit's High Beam.

I then moved onto my eyes. For my eyes I used the Benefit 'They're Real' Mascara for one coat, and then used the Mac Fluidline to create my winged eyeliner. I then used the Maybelline 24hr Tattoo in shade Pink Gold, followed by a shadow Platinum from the Smashbox Shapematters Palette. To finish the look, I added another coat of mascara but this time with the Soap and Glory Thick and Fast.

I finished my look with Mac's Plumful lipstick.. and here is the finished look.

For this date night, we went out to a local restaurant. This is what the food looked like... (the most important part).

Thankyou for reading, as usual feel free to leave any comments. If you would like any in depth reviews of the products I have featured let me know!

NYE GRWM

NYE GRWM

I'm posting this on the 2nd of January, of what I wore on NYE! This is a follow up post to my previous post which was prep for NYE. I hope everyone had a lovely time welcoming the New Year in and everyone has a fabulous 2016! If you want to read my NYE Prep post click here :) The following picture includes everything I used to make my face for NYE.

I badly need to clean my brushes so excuse the dirty brushes!

Products in picture:

Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser Benefit Porefessional Mac Studio Fix Fluid Foundation NW13 Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer Fair Bare minerals Stroke of Light Mac Studio Fix Powder NW13 Smash box Shape Matters Palette Rommel Pink Rose Blush Mac Mineralize Skin finish Lightscapade Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomrade Blonde Benefit Gimme Brow Benefit High beam Mac Fluidline Blacktrack Mac New York Apple

I began by using the Simple moisturiser to prep my skin as I have fairly dry skin. The Simple moisturiser is quite light on the skin. I then used the Benefit 'porefessional' as a primer, I love this primer however find it quite oily and I cannot stand the texture, I don't know if anyone else agree's? It's just so strange! I then used the Mac foundation, with a Real Technique expert face brush. Following my foundation I concealed beneath my eyes with the Collection concealer, this is such a brilliant concealer and conceals dark circles and blemishes. I then secured all of this with the Mac powder, some use this as a foundation but I don't find it too heavy when applied with the Real Technique powder brush. After this, I contoured using the Smashbox palette, put Mac highlighter on my cheekbones and Rimmel blush on the apples of my cheeks.

Moving on to brows and eyes... I used the Anastasia Dipbrow Pomrade, I love this product so much! I've tried many brow products but can't seem to get on with powders. I set them with the Benefit speed brow and highlighted my brow bone with the Benefit high beam. 

Moving on to eyes... I used shadows from the Smashbox palette, and used the Mac fluidline to create a cat eye effect. Following all of this I put some Eyelure lashes on! I love these as they aren't too long but just long enough to finish of the look.

And lips... I used Mac 'New York Apple' on my lip, it is a redish shade, but not overpowering red and a lovely sheen.

The finished look was this...

I'm on the right if you didn't guess...

I hope you enjoyed this post! I can provide (as usual) any more info on any products that I've listed! Feel free to leave any comments :)
