FOTD | Everyday Makeup

Hey guys :)

So this is technically my FOTD from yesterday put I've scheduled it to post today to even my posts out :)



I really hate pictures of my face (big nose issues and freckles courtesy of fab genes and the 2 minutes of sun we've had this week) and so I rarely do these but today I liked my lipbalm? That's a silly reason I know...but I do. This is my typical every day make up with a petty simple bronse-ish smoky eye, Rosy cheeks and a somewhat natural lip colour.

Moisturiser (not in picture) - Nivea Light Day moisturiser
Foundation - Rimmel Wake me up foundation in True Ivory 
Concealer - Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer in Light
Eye brow pencil - 17 brow pencil in light brown
Cheek Tint - Soap and Glory Cheekmate (amazing gel like dupe for Benefit's Bene tint)
Eye primer - MUA professional eye primer
Eye shadow (not in picture) - Mix of MUA Heaven and Earth pallette
Eye liner - Soap and Glory Smoulder Khol in Cocoa Bean
Mascara 1 - Maybelline The Falsies mascara
Mascara 2 - Benefit They're Real mascara    
Lipbalm - Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey

It appears I use a lot of make up on my face! 

Happy Thursday!!

Lots of love, Lucy xx

Soap and Glory kick Ass Concealer review

Hey guuuuuys,

Soo i'm in love with my benefit erase paste but it's never really lasted very long under my eyes and after a few hours it's back to old dark circle eyes soooo I picked up Soap and Glory's Kick Ass Concealer in the shade 'light' for £10 in Boots and so far am rather impressed. It contains two concealers, one peachy in tone to conceal under eye blue-ness and the other more yellowey to cover spots. It also has a translucent powder which the box calls a sealing powder, so my guess is that it prolongs wear.

The pics below show my eye and red blemishes (i share way too much with you guys) before and after the concealer along with numerous swatches and photos of the packaging.

RATING- 8/10 I've only used it a handful of times and so yet to know if its a ten out of ten wonder product but so far im pretty darn impressed. It seems to cover up well and matches my skin tone almost perfectly.

REPURCHASE? Most certainly, it is a little pricey for a high street/ drugstore concealer but hey, you pay for what you get right?

I would love to know your favourite concealer for under eye circles as mine are a right pain!

Love you lots! Lucy xxx
