To get this look I am wearing:
* garnier bb cream
* benefit hello flawless powder
* anastasia dipbrow pomade
* charlotte tilbury dolce vita eyeshadow palette
* benefit bad gal smudge eye liner
* eyeko liquid eyeliner
*benefit boi-ing concealer 
* bobbi brown pink coral blusher 
* benefit they're real mascara
* charlotte tilbury confession lipstick

Have you purchased any of the Charlotte Tilbury luxury eyeshadow palettes yet and if so which is your favourite? X

October favourites

So here is what I've been reaching for the most this past month.

* Anastasia dipbrow pomade in dark brown. I don't think that need any other eyebrow product ever.
* Garnier BB cream, I bought loads of sachets of eBay cheap to trial it and I love it! The colour is nice and it just feels like a moisturiser on the skin.
* Eyeko liquid eyeliner pen
* Charlotte Tilbury dolce vita palette
* Nars matte lip pencil in dolce vita
* Rimmel colour rush balm in on fire. This is the easiest red lip ever and very low maintenance and comfortable to wear!

What have you been wearing the most recently?
I'm so bored of seeing posts about berry lip colours now that it's autumn. I won't be buying one but I will be wearing a bold red lip more and not just saving it for special occasions.

Casual #fotd

So here is my everyday makeup look, I am wearing the following:
* Garnier BB cream
* Benefit boi-ing concealer
* Benefit hello flawless powder
* Bobbi Brown blusher - pink coral
* Anastasia Beverley Hills dipbrow pomade
* Benefit High Brow
*Benefit most glamorous nudes eyeshadow kit
*eyeko liquid eyeliner
*Illamasqua Glamore lipstick - rosepout
I didn't mean for it to be so Benefit heavy but the products are from 2 kits one being  the How To Look The Best At Everything and the other being the World Famous Neutrals eyeshadow kit.
I would love to wear mascara but it rubs on my glasses which is super annoying. So I save it for contact lense days. 
I am loving the Anastasia dipbrow stuff it is amazing! I am now converted from powder. Sorry Benefit Brow Zings. X

Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade Review

I have been loyal to my Benefit Brow Zings for a couple of years now which is both a powder and a wax product that I find can be time consuming to apply. So i was looking for something quicker to apply, I have tried brow pencils but for some reason I just cannot get along with them at all.
So after reading all the hype about the Anastasia Dipbrow I immediately wanted to try it.

I bought the shade dark brown after looking at numerous online swatches which was abit of gamble. The chocolate and dark brown look more or less the same.

This product is darker than my brow zings and I find it matches my brows very well and can look more natural than powder.
The staying power is immense with this stuff I struggle to get it off haha. I use my Anastasia no. 12 brush to apply it which I find it perfect. It has a spooley at one end and a nice stiff angled brush on the other.  A little of this product goes along way so once I have abit on my brush I dab any excess off on the back of my hand before I start as I don't want them to look to drawn on.

Overall yes it does live up to the hype and I am very happy with it. I am still getting used to it so I probably haven't shaved any time of my brow routine yet as I am trying to be so careful.

Have you tried this yet?

On My Radar

Here are some items that are currently on my radar!
Fiorelli Perry Bag RRP £45, Sale £22.50
This summer it is all about small bags where I can just carry my essentials around with me. This is very unlike me as I usually like carrying around a giant horde of stuff. Anyway soon when my baby is born (anyday now) I will have my Pink Lining Yummy Mummy changing bag to carry around with me so I want to streamline my own bits and bobs.
Charlotte Tilbury - Dolca Vita Palette £38
Yes the price is a little steep for 4 eyeshadow but the look that gives looks breathtakingly stunning. You can get both day and night looks from this. No matter what you say I will find a way to justify the hefty price tag for this. I just need it ok.
Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade - Dark Brown £15
I never feel 'done' until I have my eyebrows made up. I currently use Benefits Brow Zings which completely transformed my life. I am useless with pencils but now this product has perked up my interest as it has received such good reviews everywhere. Also it would just be a one step process rather than the 2 with the Benefit product. Anything to make my life easier.
New Look Coral/Tan Sandal £15.99
I am so sick of wearing flip flops but I am struggling to fit my 9 month pregnant cankles into anything else and probably not even these but as she is due anyday (please god today?) I am told my feet will go back or normal more or less immediately after the birth. So what a nice way to celebrate than with some new summer sandals. These will also go with lots of outfits and the above Fiorelli bag (see where I am going with that). These were on sale on ASOS for £12 but they've just sold out boo! But luckily for me i managed to bag the last of my size just in the nick of time.
Bare Minerals Marvellous Moxie Lipstick - Speak Your Mind £13.95
I remember seeing swatches of this on a blog ages ago (can't remember which) and it's just stuck with me as looking gorgeous on. It was like the everyday perfect pinky hue. I have not forgot about it and really should take the time out to swatch it for myself. As I've recently learned that looking at swatches online is completely useless as they can look totally different on you and in real life in general.
So that's it my current lustings. Unfortunately most are high end so I will have to continue to want but seriously they all look gorgeous! Let me know what you are currently craving? Or if you have found any bargains.
