5 Everyday Lip Options

Following on from Thursday's post all about my everyday makeup essentials, this post is dedicated to the everyday lip. For me its a nude, mauve, pink toned shade that goes with everything and looks good with anything. It was also unintentional to have posts following one another in such a theme, but it works well so why not! The options in this post are what I have currently been reaching for, as they change I hope to keep you updated!

The Everyday Makeup Essentials

I find myself falling in and out of love with makeup, sometimes I'll wear the tiniest amount of just concealer and other times it will be a full glam face. One of my resolutions for this year, makeup wise was to wear more of what I own and experiment more. Part of the experimenting is wearing more makeup on a daily basis, not layers of foundation but putting a lot more effort into what I apply and use. These are the bits and bobs that have lately been catching my eye and I've been wearing. 

Skincare 101: Facial Serums & Oils

When I hear the word facial oil or serum, I scream because I have absolutely no idea what they are or what they do! But in the last few months, I have been getting to grips with the skincare jargon and getting on the bandwagon. As they say, don't knock something until you've tried it and when it comes to these two skincare items I stress the exact same thing. Little do you know, they can change your skincare game forever. 

Glitter In My Veins

After so long, I'm back with a new whats on my nails post! I've become a 'regular' at a salon in Leeds but have had no time to go back from Liverpool to get them done. This then started the hunt to find a local salon, and after a few messages here and there and a stalk on good old facebook. I finally found one, will I go back to it? No idea, maybe try another and see which is best. But for now, they have done the job and infilled my nails. 

My go to nail shape is almond, it looks natural and allows me to type, pick up coins and all those other nail struggles you have to deal with. Acrylics are bad for your nails but touchwood, mine have stayed strong underneath and life without having nails on to me is unimaginable. This stunning shade is from the CND Shellac Range in Nude Knickers. Which I can only describe as a flesh toned, pinky nude - in different lights on my skin it looks different and at first it didn't appeal to me but its grown to be well loved. 

It looks very subtle and due to the flesh toned colour, it makes me stubby fingers look a lot longer and lady like! The glitter design on both the ring and thumb finger isn't a polish but actual glitter, yes actual glitter. The nail technician held my finger at an angle and then tapped glitter down using a small 'shovel' like tool, it created this gorgeous fade and suits the colour really well. 

Overall, I am in love with this combination and the nude shades are getting me ready for spring and pastel! 

What's on your nails currently?!
