FOTD - Summer Makeup - Sleek, TheBalm, Bourjois + More


Hullo Ladies!

Here another FOTD post, my second one ;-) 

The sun came out today and I realized that Summer is nearly here! 

No doubt were going to have to wait a while longer here in Wales but that doesn't mean I can't pretend with makeup!



On my eyes I decided to use the Nude Tude palette from TheBalm. It's one of my favourite palettes as it's amazing quality. 

I apply Stand-offish all over the lid, then I put Sultry in my crease.I mix Selfish with Seductive and apply them on my outer corner blending up into the crease. I take Sleek to darken up my outer corner and along my lower lash line. then I use Sassy as my inner corner highlight as well as the inner part of my lower lash line and my brow bone.

To finish my eyes off I line them with my Bobbi Brown Gel liner and apply my Soap and Glory Thick and Fast Mascara to my lashes :-) 

On my brows I use my favourite Sleek Brow Kit in Dark.



For my foundation I used my Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum. 

For my cheeks I use the Sleek Face Form Palette in Fair. I apply the Contour very lightly, then use that gorgeous blush on the apples of my cheeks. I also take the highlighter and dab it onto my cheekbone so it catches the light. 

For my lips I take one of my favourite lip balms The Body Shops Born Lippy Lip Balm in Raspberry, then I apply my Sleek Matte Lipstick in Heartbreaker. It's a gorgeous warm toned bright pink :-) 

I'm in love with this look and have recreated it with a bright red lip for a night out and with a nude lip for a shopping trip. It's very versatile! 

So that's my FOTD :-) 

What palettes have you been loving lately?!

February Favourites 2014


Hullo Ladies!

I thought I'd better write up my February favourites post before it's to late and I end up needing to write my March one instead! I'm usually on time with these things but Instagram's  been keeping me busy! 

My Instagram name is LinziLou92 by the way! 



First favourite of the month.....

Dolce & Gabbana The One Desire - Smells so divine and unique, quite sweet but also floral. I love it! 

Soap & Glory Peaches & Clean - I remember this being huge when it first came out and I finally understand why! I've received this for Christmas and started using it a few weeks after. I'm half way through and I'm definitely going to pick it up again! It makes taking off my makeup at the end of the day feel so good :-) 

TheBalm Nude Tude Palette - I bought this recently and have been using it, with my Naked 3 palette ever since. It was difficult to decide which one to put into this post as I feel they both deserve it! I chose this one though and I have to say I'm so glad I bought it. I've created so many beautiful eye looks with it and really do suggest it to anyone looking for a new palette. 

TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer - I bought this when I bought the NudeTude palette as I knew these two products seemed to be the most talked and raved about. I can see why. It's such a gorgeous highlighter. I'm still trying out loads of different brushes to see which one applies the best. The one I'm favoring at the moment is the Real Techniques Contour brush. I'm so happy with this product and can't wait to wear it on a night out so I can show off my glowing cheeks! 

Garnier Moisture Match in Dry to Very Dry - I've been using this for awhile now, ever since the range came out and I still love it. It's probably the only high street moisturizer that's actually helped my skin. It also doesn't hurt when you can get it on offer in ASDA ;-) 

Soap & Glory Thick and Fast Mascara - This is one of my favourite Mascaras ever! It's great to just apply quickly for day wear but you can add amazing volume for a night out with a few extra coats :-) 

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Nudist - I'd heard so much about this product on Youtube and I finally decided to pick it up in the 3 for 2 offer recently. It's amazing as everyone says it is. It smells, feels and looks amazing! 

Soap & Glory Smolder Kohl Eye Liner - Soap & Glory are on a roll for me this Month, I've been using this on my top lash line all month and it looks great! I don't use it in my waterline as it does smudge but on my top lash line it stays all day! 

Sleek Blush By 3 Palette in Pink Sprint - I'm obsessed with these sleek blush palette at the moment and I'm so surprised at how easily I'm finding it to use this certain palette, it contains a lot of very pigmented, dark pinks but with a light hand they look amazing! I really want to pick up some more :-) 


So those are all my February Favourites, what was yours?

TAG: How Much Is My Face Worth?


Hullo Ladies!

Some time last year this TAG post was very popular and although I was excited to do it I never did for some reason, recently though I've seen it pop up again and decided to finally do it! 

Kinda scared on what the total will be but I know that in reality I'm pretty good with my money, I like to find bargains and looking at the products I've chosen as what I use on my face on a regular basis recently I can tell you that I've bought every single product on some sort of deal, whether it was because of a 3 for 2 offer or a discount code :-) 

Obviously though I can't remember what I actually payed for all these product but I have looked up there retail price and that's the total I'll be showing today. 


So these are all the product's I've been using on my face recently, some are brand new and some are old favorites :-) 


Here we go!

Garnier Moisture Match Cream in Dry to Very Dry = £5.99

The Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Minimiser =  £7.50 

Estee Lauder Double Wear in Shell= £28.50

Too Faced Shadow Insurance = £17.00

TheBalm Nude Tude Palette = £26.50

TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer = £16.00

Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in Black Ink = £17.50

Burt's Bees Lip Balm in Acai Berry = £3.69

Sleek Blush By 3 Palette in Sweet Cheeks = £9.99

Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Nudist = £8.00

Soap and Glory Thick and Fast Mascara = £10.00

Total = £150.67


Wow. Even with the offers and discounts included that's kind of scary! 


It's about £50 more than I expected it to be but still not as high as some of the TAG post's I've read ;-) 

Have you done this TAG yet? I'f you haven't then I TAG you to do it!
