Highlight Your Weekend!

I love using highlighters as they’re a great way to add a little light to your face with just a few strokes. For every day use I simply use the Collection Speedy Highlighter (£3.99 – Boots) but for nights out, I always go to Benefits Watts Up! ❤

WATT is it?

Watts Up! is a soft focus highlighter for your face that leaves a delicate champagne shimmer effect once applied. With a cream-to-powder finish it has a smooth applicator that glides on your face with a lovely luminous sheen. At £24.50, it’s not exactly a cheap highlighter, but I love how this looks once applied.

How To Use?

To use simply glide over your cheek, nose and brow bones and then soften with the blender to create your perfect glow! Personally I use it after I’ve applied my full makeup to add that finishing touch.

And for the end look, et voilà… 🙂

Overall, if you’re looking for an everyday highlighter I’d probably advise for you to seek out cheaper options; but if you’re wanting a highlighter for that special occasion, I really recommend this brand. Go go go!!

MOTD!

– Today’s makeup look 🙂 –

For 5 out of the 7 days I’m at work and so I like to keep my makeup looking fresh and minimal, whilst also giving me the coverage I need so I don’t feel naked. The reason why I love makeup is because it personally gives me confidence and experimenting with different kinds of brands and styles is my favourite! So for an everyday look my favourite makeup (currently) is…

– Maybelline New York BB Cream (light) –

– Bare Minerals Matte Loose Powder (light) –

– Maybelline New York Fit Me Concealer (Fair) –

– Carmex Lip Balm –

– Benefit They’re Real Mascara (beyond black) –

– Rimmel Soft Khol Kajal Eye Pencil (jet black) –

I ❤ ❤ ❤ this mascara, just look at these lashes!!!

And to finish I do a quick spritz of Urban Decays Makeup Setting Spray! 🙂

My May Beauty Faves!

The Pore Professional – £24.50. I know there’s already a lot of reviews on the Pore Professional already, so why not just add one more! I love this product and I’ve found it really does help my foundation look flawless. It’s so silky to apply on the skin and I recommend it highly!

The Vintage Cosmetic Company – (3 brushes) – £24.00. These brushes are great! I love the coverage the foundation brush gives me and the powder brush is so soft on the skin; they’re just perfect for applying your makeup. There’s nothing worse than having a brush that sheds leaving you with bristles all over your face and these do the complete opposite. Perfect!

Urban Decay Chill Makeup Setting Spray – £21.00. This doesn’t feel heavy at all on my face when I use it and it dries instantly. I use it daily and I love it. A must have for your daily routine if you want longevity or just before that big night out!
