Accent Red FOTD

Hi all,

I'm still trying to get back into the swing of regular FOTDs but sadly, the weather here is dreadful so it's really hard to get good pics in such grey light. I loved everything I used today including the very high end stuff which isn't good. The blush is a gorgeous sheeny nude colour that goes on like a dream and has a lovely glowy finish and the lipstick is a dream! Smooth, pigmented and creamy. Sheered out, it's a great nude without being too nude for me. So much for my small, semi realistic wishlist.

Products used:
Face:
-Usual primer, foundation, concealers, powders and contour product and
-LMdB Whisper blush.
Eyes:
-TFSI
-Bourjois Colour Edition cream in Prune Nocturne (more a red toned plum than a burgundy which is what I was hoping for)
-MAC Accent Red pigment (lid)
-Matte burgundy from Sleek Ultra Mattes V2 palette (crease and lower lashline)
-Stila Viola (to blend)
-Matte black from Sleek Ultra Mattes V2 palette (outer corner and lower lashline)
-Matte white from Sleek Ultra Mattes V2 palette (brow bone)
-MAC Fairylite pigment (brow bone and inner corner)
-MAC kohl in Smolder
-Collection glitter liner in Rock Chick and
-Maybelline Full & Soft mascara.
Lips:
-Burberry Nude Beige lipstick, lightly applied.

Showing my illness who's boss FOTD

Hi all,

I decided not to let my illness rule me anymore so I thought I'd try and get back into the habit of doing FOTDs. My gorgeous filigree bat earrings are by MoonMaiden on eBay (aka GlitterIsMyCrack beauty blogger). On the subject of my illness, my doc finally set the ball rolling with my referral to a specialist! At last! In the meantime, I'm going to try a homeopathic remedy as conventional medicines aren't doing the job I need them to do.

Products used:
Face:
-Usual primer, foundation, concealers, powders and contour product
-MAC Desert Rose blush and
-Missha Sweet Line blusher in Shimmering Snow.
Eyes:

-Look Cosmetics Eye Brightener and
-Boots Natural Collection Water Guard mascara.
Lips:
-Maybelline clear lipliner
