FOTD: Warpaint.

Some people call it make-up. 

I call it warpaint.

Especially after all the rubbish stuff going on, I am tired of people saying I look "tired" or "ill."

So I wore a smokey eye to work. Of course.

FOTD: Favourite Autumn Lipsticks

Sat at my desk, staring out the window, looking past the Construction Contracts book on my desk, it occurred to me how Autumn is most definitely here now and it must be acceptable for me to use one my favourite lipstick in the daytime now?!

I have kept my face pretty simple today as I was running late for my lecture. The products I used were:

Collection lasting Perfection Concealer in shade 1 fair

No7 Beautifully Matte Mousse in Cool Ivory

No7 Creme Touch Face Powder in Honey Milk

No7 Coral Flush blusher

No7 Honey blusher

Maybelline Colour Tattoo in on and on bronze

Avon Super Drama Mascara in black

No7 Moisture Drench lipstick in Plum Beautiful

I ADORE this lipstick, especially on nights out or as a "quick, need to dress my face up ASAP." I wouldn't say it is a plum colour as it is quite red-toned, yet it is buildable. One coat gives a fresh, redder lip, then a few more gives a bold, deep red lip. I also have a bit of an attachment to this lipstick. Any of you ladies had a shopping trip based on heartbreak? Yeah this is one of those. I wore it a few days ago and a drunk male friend of mine stumbled up to me and said, "You have red lipstick. I respect a girl that wears red lipstick."

Erm...cheers?

Sorry I have been away for so long guys but I am hoping to be back now. Just needed a few weeks to myself, you know? My posts probably won't be as regular as before as I have a lot of work to do but keep an eye on my YouTube channel as I have some new videos coming up!

What's your favourite Autumn lipstick shade?

And it was New York, New York...

FOTD #1

I'm just gonna throw this out there. I currently have a whacking great big spot in the middle of my forehead and my eyelids are swollen to the point where I look like a Moshi Monster.

So this is from a few days ago...this has been my usual make up this past week!

Oh my. Must fix my eyebrows.

I have been addicted to the MUA Undressed pallette recently. Teamed with my Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner in Ivy, it is fab for daily make-up...else I only turn up to work late with a purple smoky eye or something equally dramatic...looking fabulous but not in the boss' good books!

I am also loving my MUA lipstick in shade 11. It is my kinda colour; like your natural lip colour but better? A pinky/orangey shade, ideal for day to day wear.

What's your go-to make up item? A special lippy or a favourite mascara?

I was the one who let you know,

I was your sorry ever after '74-'75.
