FOTD - Much Furore over Mushrooms

Hello Lovelies,

So in keeping with my desire to give my readers shock based heart attacks, I've decided to do a wee FOTD... today was the first time in a while I've had time to play about with make up, and I came up with with natural but very pretty and girly look, so I thought I'd share. My new room has the biggest window ever too and the lighting for photos is just incredible, so I felt it was only right to take advantage of it on this gorgeous autumnal day.

Summer Lovin' Series - Make up part one

Oke, so today's Summer Lovin' post is going to focus on my favourite "Face" make up - foundations, bronzers, blush etc. Part two will feature my favourite products for eyes and part three will be my favourite products for lips!

Foundation:
I've switched between two foundations for the whole of summer - one liquid and one mineral, although generally I've been sticking with mineral as I prefer a lighter, more matte finish during the summer. Oddly enough, both of these products are from The Body Shop. They are:

The Body Shop Mineral Foundation in Shade 03 and The Body Shop Moisture Foundation in Shade 04. Excellent foundations that perform well every time. Neither of them are the best foundations I've ever used in my whole history of foundation use, but they both provide good day to day coverage that leaves you looking "finished" by not looking over done.

Blusher/Bronzer:
I'm becoming a blusher fiend.... it's all I ever seem to want to buy at the moment. This summer I've mostly been using:

Boots 17 Blush & Glow in Strawberry Swirl and Peaches and Cream

I've mentioned these before, but they're still one of the first things I reach for blusher wise. Excellent for giving you a healthy glow, with a wonderful highlighter to boot!

Mac Ripe Peach Blush Ombre

I picked this one up in a blog sale as it reminded me of an Estee Lauder Blusher I'd one had applied at a make up counter and fell in love with (but being 16 couldn't quite justify buying). I adore this. I tend to layer it up with a little something extra (normally one of the Blush&Glows). Lovely :)

ELF Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder

The famous "is it a Nars dupe" duo. I like to team these two with a sexy brown eye and a pop of pink lipstick (normally Soft Peony by The Body Shop). Richly pigmented, so I tend to give my brush a really good tap first!

Benefit Benetint

As I've said before, I'm fully away of how slow on the uptake I was with this - I spent years dismissing it as faffy and annoying, but now I can't get enough of this rose scented bottle of awesomeness. 

ELF Warm Bronzer

Another great multi tasker, doubling up as an eyeshadow palette when you're packing light! Great for warming up the skin - especially if your regular foundation feels a tad too light on summer tanned skin.

What are face makeup are you loving this summer?

FOTD Corrupt Servant of a Popstar

So this was meant to be a fairly matte neutral look, but as I'm a bad lady who doesn't wash her brushes enough, it turned into a slightly more shimmery glammed up version of a neutral look. Mainly I just wanted to have a bit of a play around with a couple of goodies I got from Dainty Dolly Mix's blog sale.

Face:
Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation in Warm Peach
Lily Lolo Cover Up in Nude
Benefit Boi-ing in 02??
Superdrug MUA Bluser in Shade 4
MAC Hello Kitty Tinted Lip Conditioner in Popstar

Eyes:
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Illamasqua Powder Eye Shadow in Servant (all over lid, up to brow bone)
Sleek Bohemian Paleete in Moto-X (crease and blended - see here for info on Sleek eyeshadow names)
Urban Decay - Mushroom (outer 2/3rds of lid and blended, also brought under lower lashline)
Urban Decay - Muchness from the Alice Palette (browbone highlight)
Urband Decay 24/7 Liner in Corrup (upper lashline)
17 Blush & Glow - Glow part only (inner corner)
17 Va Va Voom Mascara in Black
Elf Eyebrow Kit in Dark

Ta Da! I have to say, I think this is one of the nicest FOTDs that I've done for a while :)
