5 Minute Makeup for Lazy Days!

It's slowly transitioning into summer and I don't know about you guys but when the weather is nice I like to keep my makeup to a minimal. Here's my five minute makeup routine using only five products.

1. Foundation - I like to keep my foundation in the summer relatively light coverage compared to ones I'm more likely to navigate towards in the winter time. One of my current favourites is the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Foundation, this is on the more expensive side but so worth it! It looks so natural and radiant.

2. Bronzer - I'm absolutely obsessed with the NYC "Sunny" Bronzer recently, I've been wearing it every single day!

3. Eyeliner - unlike many, eyeliner isn't really a necessity to me, I definitely don't wear it on a daily basis. However on days when I'm keeping the rest of my makeup pretty straightforward I like to add a bit more eyeliner than I would usually to balance it out, today I used Maybelline Gel Eyeliner. 

4. Mascara - mascara is probably my favourite makeup product, I have tried and tested a staggering amount in the few years I've worn makeup. I still try out a ridiculous number of new mascaras but one of very few I will continue repurchasing is Benefit "they're real."

5. Lip Balm - I absolutely love lipstick but on those days I can't really be bothered to do my full face of makeup I stick to a lipbalm such as the EOS one I used today. However, you could also opt for a tinted lip balm such as the Maybelline Baby Lips or the new Benefit ones - I must get one of those!

Camila Cabello Inspired Makeup

So recently I've been listening to a lot of Fifth Harmony and I think that Camila's makeup just always looks amazing so I wanted to create a simple makeup look inspired by her.

1. Camila's skin always looks flawless without too heavy makeup so I used my Maybelline BB Cream for a light coverage then added a little Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Foundation over the top, this foundation is relatively light coverage but makes your skin look really glowy and I just love it.

2. I added a little of my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder.

3. Camila often wears a touch of bronzer and a shimmery pink blush so I used Bourjous Delice de Poudre Bronzer and Wet 'n' Wild Color Icon Blusher in "Pearlescent Pink." Camila is definitely more tanned than I am so this step is a necessity haha!

4. Camila doesn't often wear a lot of eyeshadow so I kept it really simple applying only a shimmery colour - mine was from the Revlon Colorstay Quad in "505 Decadent" but any eyeshadow of this description would do - all over the lid and a slightly lighter colour in the corner of my eyes to brighten them.

5. Camila uses a lot of eyeliner - I used my Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner on my upper lash line and my Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeliner on my waterline - both just in the colour black. I also used my favourite mascara - Maybelline The Falsies.

6. Camila doesn't really have a specific shade of lipgloss/lipstick she wears so any colour from a bright pink to a red to a nude colour would work. I decided to go with my NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in "Smokey Look."

Final Step - add a bow like Camila always wears! Thanks for reading :) Let me know if you'd like to see makeup looks inspired by the other girls of Fifth Harmony, or any other celebtrity inspired makeup looks!

Sleek "Storm" Palette

So I finally bought the much loved "Storm" eyeshadow palette by Sleek and it is just as amazing as everyone says it is. 

All the shadows are really pigmented, especially the darker colours. I love this so much and can't believe it's only £7.99! I'm definitely going to be getting more Sleek eyeshadow palettes. Thanks for reading :)

My Favourite: Drugstore Concealer

I love the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer as much as every other beauty blogger out there, but after having bought about six tubes of it over the last few years I decided I wanted to try something different so I got the Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer.

This little set comes with two concealers - one is an undereye brightening concealer and the other is a colour correcting blemish concealer. It also comes with a translucent setting powder and mirror, altogether it costs £10.00 which although is more expensive than other drugstore concealer, you are getting three products in one so I think it is quite good value for money when compared to the Laura Mercier Undercover Pot, for example.

Unfortunately, it only comes in two shades - light and medium - which is definitely a downfall. Mine is in the shade light, for reference.

You can see here a comparison of the two concealers. They are really creamy and easy to blend and are definitely comparable to high end concealers. 

Thanks for reading :) x

Update!

Hello everyone!
Just wanted to post a quick update apologising for the lack of posts lately, I'm in the midst of super important exams right now and so the majority of my time is being spent studying :( However, I will be back with regular posts in around three weeks, just before the end of May so look out for that! Thanks for understanding x
