FOTD with NicNic's Gifts

Today's look was made using a couple of items from the gorgeous parcel Nicola gave me (original post here).


The Shiseido Integrate Gracy Eyebrow Pencil she sent me has made it to one of my most treasured beauty products. It's a perfect match for the brows, making my eyebrows looks lovely and thick, and most importantly of all - natural.


On my cheeks, I used a tiny dab of the Canmake cream blush in 11, also from Nicola.



This is a stunning pink shade...




...which on my cheeks looks soft and rosy. I kept my lips natural looking with a tinted lip balm.

Products Used:

Laura Mercier Cake Liner in Black Ebony
Bobbi Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow in Beach Honey
Benefit eye Bright
Clarins Instant Definition Mascara
Shiseido Integrate Gracy Eyebrow Pencil in 963
Canmake Cream Cheek in 11 Heavenly Heart
Une Sheer Lips Balm in S03


As I can never get a thin enough line with my gel liner, I've recently switched to cake liners to tightline my eyes. I find tightlining gives a more natural eye.


I almost forgot to mention, I used applied beloved Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate on my skin to give a subtle glow. I didn't mention it in the product list above as its a skincare item.


I've received an amazing response of my giveaway. Thanks to those of you who have entered. If you haven't already entered my giveaway, you can find it here.

Classic Rose FOTD



Here is one of my favourtie simple looks, with rosy cheeks and lips. The products used for this look are shown below:


Face:
Une Soft minerals powder foundation M03
MAC blush Pinch O' Peach

Eyes:
Max Factor false lash effect mascara
Bobbi Brown gel liner in black
MAC eye kohl in fascinating (line bottom lid)

Lips:
Bobbi Brown lip colour in Rose

Une Beauty is a new organic makeup line from the creators of Bourjois. Where possible, they use organic ingredients approved by ECOCERT, a French organic organisation. For my FOTD, I tried out their mineral foundation.



It provided nice, medium coverage and does not have a heavy, powdery feel. I also found this foundation to last pretty well throughout the day.



To finish off the look, I used my favourite MAC/Bobbi Brown blush and lip combo. I used this look for my PhD graduation a few days ago, and will post a couple of pics of it up soon.
