My Everyday Make-up Routine

I thought I would do another blog post as my e-learning course website is on the fritz again. 

And sadly, I can't access any of my work so this is still productive, I guess. 

So in the end, I thought I would show you my everyday make-up routine. 

It's pretty simple, as I don't wear much just enough to make me look awake, cover up blemishes. I only tend to wear more make-up on special occasions or if I'm feeling daring.  

List of items below; 

*Left to Right*

Summer fruit EOS lip balm

Rimmel "Stay Matte" pressed powder

Benefit "Dallas" blush

Rimmel "Exaggerate" black liner

NYC lipstick "Mahongany"

Rimmel "Clean Finish" foundation 

Maybelline "Fit Me" concealer

Essence eyebrow pencil - brown hair

Benefit "they're Real!" mascara 

Ignore the goofy face still getting used to the camra, lord I need help. By the way, my eyebrow pencil does match my hair colour but for some reason the lighting has made them a light brown. 

Anyway, I know this routine isn't anything special but I thought I would share, as I myself enjoy reading these blog posts. Feel free to leave a comment below letting me know what other posts you would like to see.

Review: Benefit "they're Real!" mascara

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you are looking forward to 2013 like I am,

fresh starts and resolutions, mine being eating healthier and doing more blog posts. :) 

Starting off the New Year I thought I would do a review of a mascara I've been trying out. 

That being the Benefit "they're Real!" mascara

I have always heard amazing reviews about Benefit products, and I already own the 

Dallas blush which is an amazing colour. So this one has been on my wish list for months! 

Luckily, for Christmas my mom bought it for me (yay!) 

Its a plastic bristle brush, which isn't my ideal kind of mascara wand, but what can you do it works just the same. Something I find most fascinating about this product is the wand has a round edge

that are coated in bristles. This literally grabs the smaller lashes in the inner corner of your eye 

making your eyes look either fuller, personally. I know I have had a few experiences with trying to coat these inner lashes and ending up poking my eye (ouch!). 

The product says that the mascara will length but more importantly gives your eyes a fuller lash and   

gives the "fake lash" effect. I agree with this 100%, I have been using this product for about three weeks now and I no longer have to use an eyelash curler before applying. No more painful accidents (!) 

*Disclaimer* pardon the unruly eyebrows and lack of blemish covering up

Before: 

After: 

All in all, this has definitely become my new found mascara and I definitely can see

myself repurchasing this in the future. Benefit "they're Real!" costed my mom $29.00 dollars (Canadian) and was purchased at Shopper's Drug Mart. This would be £17.99 in the UK, and $29.83 in the United States. Yes, I'm that much of a goof I did the currency.
