'Going Out' Makeup Look

Hi Ladies! Sorry I have been absent recently! I've had so much going on and haven't had time to sit down and write a post! I've really missed blogging!
After seeing Tanya Burr do a makeup tutorial using MAC Lipstick in Rebel, I knew I wanted to have it in my collection. I then received it for Christmas from my little sister. I then re-created Tanya's look with my own products. It is the perfect glamorous look for going out, I will defiantly be wearing it a lot!
 
 
 
For the face, I didn't do anything too extravagant. My foundation is a little to dark for my skin, as it is my summer foundation. I was planning on using Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, but my skin is in pretty bad condition, so I wanted something with a little more coverage.
The products I used were:
 
Benefit That Gal Primer
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation
Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer (under eyes)
Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (blemishes)
MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural
MAC Buff Powder Blush
 
For the eyes, I started off priming with MUA Professional Eye Primer. I then used MAC Naked Lunch all over the lid, using a flat shadow brush. Then I used Urban Decay Blackout on a hard angled brush to create a soft line on my upper water line. I then slightly winged it out, then at the end of the wing, drew a line through my crease, about a third of the way. Then using a blending brush, softened the line. Then using a fluffy brush, I used Sleek Illusion in the corner of the wing to deepen the look, and on the lower lash line. I then used MAC Smolder Eye Kohl in my water line, and applied YSL Shocking Mascara.
 
On my lips, I am wearing MAC Rebel.
 
Hope you try this look out for yourself- it really is lovely, and so easy to recreate!

Review | Rimmel London Mono Blusher in Santa Rose

 
Blusher is a product that before I got into blogging, I never really thought much of. I had one, and that was fine for me. But recently, I have been expanding my collection, finding myself thinking I need a different blusher for every occasion!
A while ago, Tanya raved about this blusher, saying how perfect it is for everyday wear.
I'm not really sure why I haven't bought it before, but when I saw it for half price in Morrisons, I couldn't leave it!
 
 
It is in the shade 001 Santa Rose. It is a dusky coral/ pink with minimal shimmer.
 
 
They are really compact and actually quite tiny. Perfect to slip in your handbag for touch ups. It is also very pigmented, and easily blendable, enabling you to get the perfect natural flush of colour.
 
 
You can see it is fairly similar in colour to my skin tone, meaning it looks effortless on.
 
Overall, I absolutely love this! I strongly feel that Rimmel has upped their game and have some amazing products on the market. I highly recommend this blusher!
 
It is available from Boots, Superdrug and any Supermarkets that have a Rimmel counter, and it is £3.99. What a bargain!
 
What are your thoughts? Have you ever tried Rimmel blushers?
