FOTD #2

I am currently suffering from what can only be described as the plague..well the flu

I feel like utter rubbish and typical it's over my 5 days off from work

I ventured out for a lovely meal last night with some friends and family but about half way through the night I just came over all sick, apparently I looked super pasty too

After a rough nights sleep last night today the boy and I have had a lazy day, consisting of a little shopping and baking

So my poorly FOTD above is literally a mask to cover how rubbish I'm feeling

I had a make over at Benefit yesterday and received a seven day sample of the Hello Flawless Foundation, I already have this but the shade I have is for when I'm tanned so right now it makes me look like an oompa loompa, good look right?!

The shade I'm wearing here is Ivory and it's perfect for me, I'll definitely be buying the full size once I get paid along with the new hydrating concealer of course.

I added in a bit of Sun Beam highlighter to the foundation to give my skin a bit of a glow too.

My skin is so terrible at the moment so sleeks concealer palette was put to the test today, and it held up pretty damn well with the help of the setting powder.

Using my Boots Advantage card points I treated myself to one of the 'World Famous Neutrals' Palette (post to follow) and wore the more daytime appropriate shades today, along with my all time favourite high street mascara, the Maxfactor 2000 Calorie mascara, it makes my eyelashes so long and volumised I love it

I'm now going to go and feel sorry for myself with a cup of tea and slice of cake

Hope your all well

Love

Belle

Collection 2000 Cream Puff Lip Cream ~ Cotton Candy

Collection 2000 Cream Puff, Lip Cream ~ Cotton Candy

£2.99

Not being a huge wearer of colour on my lips I've been trying to incorporate lip sticks/glosses/butters into my collection a little more recently.

So far I've really enjoyed the Revlon Lip Butters so thought I'd take it another step and go for solid colour in the form of the Collection 2000 Cream Puff lip cream in the colour Cotton Candy. 

It applies with the usual lipgloss doe-foot applicator and is therefore quite easy to put on but not the most accurate when it comes to defining the lips. I'd definitely say you need a mirror handy to apply this. Luckily it doesn't need reapplying too often.

Once applied you allow it to dry and it sets to a matte finish which lasts a long time. 

I find the dry feeling of it on my lips a little uncomfortable as I like to have moist lips and always have lip balm on so I sweep a thin layer of balm over the top. This also gives it a bit of a glossy finish rather than matte.

Something tells me matte lip colours are never going to be my cup of tea.

For less than £3 though you can't really go wrong, it's a lovely colour, lasts a decent amount of time on the lips and has pretty, sturdy packaging. Nothing to complain about other than my dislike for matte finishes which is of course personal preference. 

Have you tried these cream puffs?

What colours have you used?

Take Care
