McBUSTED!!! OOTD and FOTD

OMG I went to see McBUSTED the other day with my friends in Bournemouth and they were amazing!!!  So I thought that I would share with you what I wore on my face and on my body… slightly weird way of explaining it but oh well! So here we go!
 
FOTD
 
 
 

Face
  • Collection Concealer | Fair 1
  • Simple Light Moisturiser
  • Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer | Classic Beige
  • Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation | Light Porcelain
  • NYC Mosaic Face Powder Translucent Highlighter Glow
  • Bourjois Blusher | Golden Rose
  • So Suzan pure luminiser

I started with a layer moisturiser because I have really dry skin then applied a layer of the foundation to smooth out my skin, then covered up any blemished with the Collection concealer. Next on the tops of my cheeks and my brow bones I used the highlighter and then went around the edge of my face and under my cheek bones with the Rimmel concealer to contour because this is slightly darker than my natural skin tone(I currently don’t own a bronzer which is why I used this). I then set this all with the face powder and finally used the blusher on the apples of my cheeks.

Eyes 
 
 
  • L’oreal Volume Million Lashes  
  • collection fast stroke eyeliner
  • MUA Eyeliner | Rich Brown
  • Avon Eye Primer | Light Beige
  • W7 Naked Nudes Eye shadow palette
  • MUA Undressed Eye shadow Palettes

Wow this is my most favourite bit of the whole look! I prepped my eyelids with the primer then used the MUA eye shadows on my eye lids. I started with Shade 4 over the whole of the lid with a tiny bit of shade 2 in the inner corners. Next on the outer 2/3 of my lids I used Shade 6 (My favourite colour in the palette), then put a mix of shade 7 and 8 on the outer 1/3 and in the crease. Finally from that palette I used a bit of shade 11 under my eyes. I then used  a thin layer of the liquid eyeliner on my top lid ( I was too scared to do a wing) I also used the pencil eyeliner on my water line. I Used the Mascara on my top and bottom lashes. Finally I used the darkest shade on the W7 palette to quickly fill in my eyebrows.

Lips
  • kiko super gloss 105
Yeah then I just used this lip gloss.


OOTD
 
My friends and I had tickets for the standing area so I had to wear comfortable clothing that was cool as it gets really hot in there. I got the top, shoes and cardigan from Primark and the jeans from the New Look.

 
So there you go, I had such an amazing day and I really enjoyed getting ready! Hope you enjoyed this post!

Tuesday Beauty Tip #5

Think of your strainers, after a while the products start to build up on them and you have to clean them. This also happens with your hair making it start to go dull and limp. Even shampoo and conditioner start to build up (The nice smell on your hair afterwards is the product left over on your hair). Now this is a bit of a weird tip but trust me it works! Once in a while use a sprinkling of bicarbonate of soda with your shampoo and this will help lift up the products from your hair.

Tuesday Beauty Tip #4

I used to always have a problem with my eyeliner smudging down my face throughout the day. To prevent this problem I've started applying an extra layer of powder right under my eyes when I've finished the rest of my makeup, and this stops my eyeliner smudging too much dowm my face. I use Rimmel clear complexion, but any good powder will work :)

Tuesday Beauty Tip #3

When my mascara starts to near the end of its life (wow dramatic) it's inevitable it will start to go clumpy. So for those last few days instead of trying my best to make it look half decent, I run the bottle under a hot tap for a while. This reduces the clumpyness so I'm able to apply my mascara normally.
BTW never buy this mascara its rubbish!

Makeup Sort Out

I had a big sort out of my entire makeup drawer (instead of revising) and I thought that I would share with you some of the products that I’ve decided to throw out.

 
 
Wet n Wild Megalast nail varnish
Most of these short reviews are negative (hence the reason I'm throwing the products away) however this one is positive! I bought these nail varnishes in America last year. They only need one coat of the polish and they last forever. The only reason I’m throwing them out is because they’ve gone clumpy which is a real shame :’(.

 

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse
 
Thought I'd throw this on in there, I mentioned in my 'ALetter to the Past' post how a few years ago I'd bought two dream matte Mouse pots. I found them! One of them is half used so I'll throw that away but the other one wasn't even opened! (I might have to keep it for emergencies
 
 
Hit The Spot Concealer


This was a concealer that my Mum bought for me. It smells like spot cream so you would expect it to actually work. But it did not do what it said on the package! It was so cakey that even with makeup remover wipes you had to scrub so hard that it aggravated blemishes even more. -_-


 
 
Technic Fruity Lip Gloss

Wow this bought back memories! It was one of the first lip glosses in ever bought (this one was a replacement.) This is the worst lipgloss EVER! It's so sticky and the texture is disgusting. I think the only reason I repurchased this was that eeerrrrrrmmmm... I had nothing better to buy?



Collection 2000 Skylash Waterproof Mascara
This is another product that I actually liked! It's been empty for about a year now, I just don't regally sort out my makeup. I wore it to a water park and it didn't smudge or rub off throughout the whole day!

 
 
Natural collection Sheer Natural Lip Colour
As you can probably tell from the picture I have no trouble throwing this lipstick away. When I first bought this lipstick I thought it was okay, the pigment wasn't amazing bit I didn't hate it. NOW I BLOODY HATE IT!!! It starts off looking like a normal lip balm but when you try to get more colour out it turns gold!
 
 
Miss Sporty So Clear and So Energetic
I used these foundations even before I used the Dream Matte Mousse. At the time they suited my needs, I didn't have a huge amount of spots so I didn't need a thick coverage, however now I have more spots :( so I won't buy them again. Even if they did still suit my skin, they are probably over 2 years old now so it would be kind of gross to use them.


Hope you enjoyed this odd post! XX
