AM and PM routine tag

Oh hey guys!

I recently saw this tag floating around and thought this would be fun to do and share with you guys, it is definitely not my usual beauty related post but I thought it would be fun to mix it up. 


AM

What is your morning (beauty) routine?
This changes daily depending on if I have work, errands or just a lazy day. However, a shower and a face cleanse with the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish, I find this really helps me to wake up for the day. In terms of makeup I tend to stick with everyday makeup (I recently done a post on this) but depending on how I am feeling I can tend to overdo “everyday makeup”.

What is for breakfast?
This varies but my go to breakfast at the moment is toasted brown bread with Organic raspberry jam, quick easy and simple. Of course what breakfast would be complete without a nice cup of tea (blame the English part of me) 2 sugars if you’re interested.

How long does It take you to get out of the door?
Again it varies depending on the reason that I had to leave the house, if its just going shopping with my parents I can be ready in 20 minutes. If it’s a long day out with friends then it can be up to an hour, this also counteracts with the first question and what kind of look I am going for.

What is your go to makeup on a fuss free morning?
Like previously mentioned I have made a blog post on my everyday makeup, however the least I would go for would be concealer and brow pencil. I am trying to be a lot better at giving my face a day or two off from being caked in makeup.



PM

What is your evening (beauty) routine?
My favourite part of the day, taking off my makeup and generally cleansing my face. For this again I use the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish with a muslin cloth. I then go ahead and tone with Boots Traditional Rose water toner and finish with Hydraloron Moisture Jelly.

What is in your bowl for a snack?
I am the worst with eating healthy so I tend to binge on crisps and cakes, terrible I know! I am trying to make it a little healthier so fruit and natural yoghurt are on my go to snacks right now.

What are you wearing to bed?
This depends on my mood, if I am feeling sad or sick I wear the thickest and fluffiest Pj’s to make myself feel snuggly and better. If I’ve given myself a pamper session and have soft legs etc then I will wear my silk nightie. My Pj’s tend to change from raggedy to cute.

What is something you have to do before going to bed?

Lately this has been having a tea in bed and watching trashy TV or Netflix, of course I have to check my phone, messages and social media, and also set an alarm (or not) for the next day.

Confidence - An everyday FOTD

Oh hey guys!

So it's been a while and that is due to a few factors such as university deadlines, zero influence and most importantly my health. Don't get me wrong after the last personal blog post going down well I was back to feeling like a super happy lady with some kind of an influence. However after that I just had a roller coaster of ups and downs with my depression or my DS's (depressive symptoms) and even as I'm typing this now I haven't quite got back to my "normal" self. However I feel like I am letting a lot of people and readers down and theres nothing worse than giving up something you love to try and stop the storm of your life. 

So this post if you haven't guessed it is another FOTD, I noticed that this one of my top ten popular posts so I thought I would appease the readers and do another one. There are definitely new products in this from the previous one so theres an excuse in itself. With my on going struggles with DS's there are far and few times I feel pretty and confidence and therefore on this rare day I thought why not take some photographs to make it into a blog post. So here goes....






 Starting off with the base I used a prep spray to give myself a good starting point, next I used to light to medium coverage BB cream that I have been loving for days where you don't want to completely cake your face. Following this was my favourite concealer for under the eyes as well as to cover the horrendous spots and blemishes scattered around my face.



As you can see I did not go crazy insane for my eyes, I just used a matt beige shade on the lid of my eyes and used a light brown in my crease as a transition colour. As for my mascara I have been using a sample of UD Perversion which I have been loving as I didn't realise how short my eyelashes actually are! Recently Eyebrow pencils have been my go to thing the one problem I found with this one is that the wax end of it always breaks (just me?). 

Since this is a super quick look and not a heavy impact look I used a random bronzer to add some definition to my face but did not use a contour kit as I usually would. My favourite product of this FOTD? Sleek Matte Me lipgloss in Birthday Suit, it is a gorgeous nude that is easy to pull off and is a great price. 

I also took this day to wear a brand new off the shoulder top I recently bought at New Look for under £15 and as the sun was out it was a perfect opportunity! 

As you can see a simple everyday quick make up look that doesn't look to shabby (ignore my eyebrows they were waxed the next day!) I hope you guys enjoyed.
