This Week's Most Loved #16







One more week til freedom guys. One more. Some people begin to neglect their makeup routine when it gets closer to deadlines, but not me. If anything, I spend more time on my makeup, procrastination is a favourite activity of mine. 





I've been reaching for the Seventeen Phwoarr Paint a lot this week. I originally liked this for blemishes and redness, but I'm starting to fall in love with it for under eyes. A little of this on my ring finger, pressed into the dark skin under my eyes makes a massive difference, this is slightly peachy toned so it really counteracts the blue. On top of that I've been applying a little of the YSL Touche Eclat* to brighten the area further. This too is really pink toned, so it really fights those dark areas. 






For lids I've been reaching for the Revlon Colourstay Shadowlinks in Taupe and Cocoa. Not the best quality shadows, but I love the fact they link (novelty things really excite me) and with a good primer they last well. I just smudge Taupe across the lid using a fluffy brush, and then take a tiny amount of Cocoa through the crease, just to add a little dimension. Super easy. 





One more makeup item, I am so obsessed with TheBalm Mary Lou Manizer right now. I've been using this to glow up my cheekbones, browbone and the inner corner of my eyes since I got it, and I just love it. I've had so many compliments on how healthy and radiant my skin looks! This even doubles as a great eyeshadow, so a good all rounder.





I won the Nanshy Eye Brush Set* in a giveaway hosted by the lovely Danniella in association with Nanshy, and have been massively impressed with it so far (full review in the works so stay tuned!), but this week I've been loving the Angled Detailer Brush in particular. I've been using it with the Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade to fill in my brows, and this is just the perfect little brush, the perfect size for filling in brows, but not going too heavy handed. This set is my first forray into the world of Nanshy brushes, but I'm seriously impressed.





I've wanted to try some of these strange elasticky hairband things that supposedly don't leave any dents in you hair for the longest time. Last week, my lovely friend Elysia offered to send me a few from her shop No Bump Bobble and I jumped at the chance. They arrived the next day and I love them, particularly the Lavender one pictured above! They don't leave annoying dents in your hair and they are much more comfortable than your standard hair band, especially for sleeping in! I think I might be converted! If you're interested in trying some of these, definitely check out Elysia's Shop, they are super affordable & fab quality, with super fast delivery and they even come in a cute drawstring bag.





And lastly, the thing that's been keeping me organised, my new To Do List notebook from Anthropologie, with it's little tick boxes and tear out pages. Too cute.





What have you been loving this week?
