Current Obsessions
For the past 10 days I have been rocking the same look EVERYDAY! It's been quick and easy and I love it! :)
HAIR: I have been wearing my hair with no parting. I have been blasting the blow dryer to dry my hair whilst my hair is damp and my head is upside down. I just run a big paddle brush through the whole of my hair which creates volume and some precision.
This is what I have been using on my hair;
Shampoo: Lush Big
Conditioner: Charles Worthington Full Volume conditioner
Serum: L'Occitane essential oils repairing serum for dry and damaged hair.
Here's a swatch... Yes, amazing I know. :)
Eye shadows: Mac "Naked lunch" all over the lid and brow bone, "Romp" in the crease with a little bit of "Brun" on the outer V to deepen.
Inner corners of the eye: Benefit eye bright
Winged Eyeliner: Urban Decay Zero on upper lash line only
Waterline: Benefit eye bright
Mascara: Chanel exceptionnel
Brows: Mac clear brow gel
Lip liner: Any nude

MAKE UP: I have been keeping it neutral but still polished. It looks subtle enough for daytime and sultry enough for night time too.
Foundation: Revlon colorstay mixed with Bobbi Browns tinted moisturiser.
Under eye concealer: YSL touche eclat
Contour & bronzing: Benefit some kinda gorgeous foundation faker in deep.
Highlight: Benefit Moon Beam.
Blush: Nars Cactus flower cream blush
Cactus Flower is the first ever product that I purchased from Nars. It's a coral colour with tiny flecks of gold shimmer. It'ts a smooth cream blush that feels like velvet that isn't greasy at all. It's highly pigmented and one tap, not one swirl but a tap is enough to get amazing colour payoff.

Onto the rest of the makeup...
Eye shadows: Mac "Naked lunch" all over the lid and brow bone, "Romp" in the crease with a little bit of "Brun" on the outer V to deepen.
Inner corners of the eye: Benefit eye bright
Winged Eyeliner: Urban Decay Zero on upper lash line only
Waterline: Benefit eye bright
Mascara: Chanel exceptionnel
Brows: Mac clear brow gel
Lip liner: Any nude
Lipstick: Any pinky nude
Lip gloss: Mac dazzle glass in baby sparks or Benefit fresh squeeze.
JEWELLERY: Well, I have been rocking big hoop earrings. I have really random phases with jewellery, one week it will be dainty earrings, next it will be big necklaces etc. But, that's the fun thing, always changing it up and keeping it spontaneous.
Hoop earrings is something that I generally steer away from but, for whatever reason, with my big hair and no parting it just looks perfect. I mainly wear bronze ones for daytime, and gold if I am wearing dark clothes.
What phases are you going through?
Comments
Ahhhh don't make me go and look at Cactus Flower now!! There I was thinking I was done with NARS blushes.
I have been going through a no foundation phase and I am loving it!!
@ms eclectic Torrid is similar but not as coral - it's more brown toned, Torrid is a powder blush and cactus flower is a cream blush, so I would have to say both are very different.
