Todays Makeup #1

I kept it very simple today, I usually have a little more on the eyes but i wanted a very light look today. I want to point out i am actually that pale, this isnt flashback as i didn't use flash and its not bad lighting, just a tan-less Scottish gal.

Sorry about the awkward photo but I'm not used to taking close-ups of my face. haha



Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer
Bourjois 123 Foundation applied with my H&M Beauty Blender
MAC Pinch O Peach Sheertone Blush
Chantecaille Les Petales Lumiere de Rose Face Highlighter
GOSH Eyeliner in Brown
Elf eyebrow Duo applied with Laura Young brow brush
MAC Culturalized Eyeshadow Duo
YSL Volupte sheer Candy in No.6 

I'm badly needing my eyebrows done so excuse the fuzz :) I used a slightly less lengthening mascara today so my lashes are slightly shorter looking than usual.


Also excuse the lop-sided lips, unfortunately i was born with it, i have a very crooked smile because of it.  
 

Thats my look for today, as i said i usually wear a little more but couldnt be bothered with it today as i really wasn't doing much. 


After a spray of MAC Fix+ I'm ready to leave the house.

This was my first go at a FOTD so i hope it worked out okay :)

Chantecaille Lumiere de Rose Highlighter

Les Petales Lumiere de Rose Face Highlighter from Chantecaille is hands down the prettiest thing i have even seen and through a little mishap that I'm not going to complain about in the Space.NK sale, i have TWO!!! 
Basically i ordered one of these and one Les Petales Voile de Rose Poudre Delicate but got two of these instead.

This is the loveliest silvery pink colour in a pearl/shimmer finish. Some people might think it looks a bit to much for the day time but when applied with a light hand it actually looks perfect. Of course for a night time look its perfectly easy to build a bit more up and blend in. 

The texture of this is so silky and smooth and its clearly incredibly finely milled. Since Ive been using this there has been incredibly little (read no) fall out. It clings to the brush with incredible ease, i used the real techniques contour brush when i first used it and later applied with my fingers and it applies evenly and blends well with both. 

This next photo is heavily swatched with in lightly swatched and blended to the left of it.

This was retailing for £28 but i got it for £14 in the Space.NK sale on Christmas which i think is a good price for it but i wouldn't have paid the 28, i would have just sat around moping that i couldn't have it. haha

Anyone else get this in the sale? Or before even? What did you think?
