Thought I would do a very quick blog, just to let you all know that I am still alive. 
The past few weeks have been mad, what with an awful stomach bug that took over the house and now the 6 weeks Summer Holidays. 

 

I have been very slack with the MOTD pictures purely because I’ve either not worn make up or, if I have, it’s been so minimal and basic I didn’t see the point in sharing the same look over and over. 

 

When it’s this hot/I’m in a hurry to get out, I strip my make up right back to the basics (for me at least).
BB cream/very light foundation, concealer if needed, powder to set it in place and minimize shine, a sweep of blush just over the cheeks to add a bit of life, maybe 1 neutral eyeshadow just to perk the lids up a bit (possibly a slightly shimmery shade if I want to pretty things up), a coat of mascara and then a tinted lip balm. (I add my eyebrows too, can’t go out looking like an alien on a day to day basis lol).

 

I am gonna try n perk up a bit now with doing regular make up looks, I may even try n do a “look for the weekend” or something similar but, at the moment, just until the 6 weeks holiday is over, I can’t promise when these will start (and I’ll more than likely also keep make up quite minimal and fuss free, for that time at least).

 

I can’t do a make-up blog without adding, at least, a couple of make-up pics, so I’ll give you a sneaky peek of blogs to come. 

 

I have one coming up on my wonder mascara product, Younique’s fibre lash mascara, which does wonderful things to your lashes in just one coat.

 

When I start back on my MOTD/Look for the Weekend, you can expect to see a lot of Makeup Revolution products featured. Not only is this brand incredibly affordable, their products deliver consistently and really are my must have brand. (Seriously, I must have all of their products, I love them!).

 

Until next time, stay beautiful.
