Beauty haul

As always I went into boots for a few specific items and as always I came out with more than intended and of course, because I'm me I forgot all about what I came there to get and left without them, typical. Boots is magical to me, without fail as soon as I step foot through those doors I make an automatic beeline to the makeup aisle and I don't come back empty handed, ever. I thankfully didn't do too much damage in this particular outing but I thought I'd show y'all what I got.
Cotton buds- I use these for fixing up eye make up

Rimmel kate lipstick in the shade 101 a lovely pinky mauve colour which has now become my favourite


Barry M matte black nail paint

Sinful colours in the shade black on black. The reason I got two blacks was to attempt to do the whole black matte nail with a shiny black tip that I see all the time on instagram- I failed

Collection blush in 'bashful'
A georgous colour
Collection gel eyeliner

And that's it for my haul darlin's!

How to apply mineral foundation

Mineral foundation for me has to be the most natural looking foundation on the market. I love
how it blends evenly onto the skin and gives good coverage, perfectly blending away imperfections while still maintaining a natural looking completion.  But there is a slight down side to mineral makeup; the application process. For a beginner it can be hard to know how much is too much and how much is too little when putting makeup on the brush, many don't know that there is a technique to applying mineral makeup and that it is a skill that needs to be mastered to create that flawless complection everyone is pinning over, but fear no more for I am here and I am going to take you through how to apply mineral makeup so that you can be sporting a flawless complection in no time.

The mineral makeup that i use is the BareMinerals original foundation in the shade fairly light.

The steps:

1. Tap your foundation pot three times into the lid.
2. Swirl your powder brush into the lid until as makeup is tucked into the bristles, i am using the real techniques powder brush but any dense powder brush will do the job.
3. BUFF makeup onto the skin in small, circular motions over your face, until happy with coverage.
4. Love it, look in the mirror and be impressed! You look flawless!

Until next time my lovelys!
