An Easy, Glowy Makeup Look ft. Colourpop and Drugstore Brands

My day-to-day look has gotten just that little bit 'standard' lately, you know? I've taken to snuggling under the doona for a few minutes longer in the morning and skipping eyeshadow, which is something I'd never thought I'd say! Rather than feeling freed about it all though, I've felt less put-together during the day and I feel a general lack of creativity in my life so back into the slap I've returned! It was Mumma Bovary's birthday last week and we went out for lunch and a spot of shopping before a big family pizza night, and this is the easy and glowy makeup look I ended up with after a chilled out session at my beauty desk.


The base was super simple - I wanted to use up this Missha B.B. Boomer which is basically a radiance primer, and I layered up some of my well-loved Revlon Whipped Crème Foundation. I'm glad to have used a sample in this makeup look, a nice piece of evidence to show you in my #LaidBackSampleChallenge
I'm pretty much obsessed with my Max Factor Crème Puff Blush in Nude Mauve - I barely reach for any other blush these days (excluding Chanel and that new Physician's Formula one which is diviiiiine) I've also been hammering the Colourpop Highlighter in Wisp as my 'special occasion' cheek - it's the fastest way to turn my workday cheek to a party cheek ;)
Eyes were easy and glowy for a relaxed lunch; a dab of Revlon Photoready Eye Art in Topaz Twinkle (just the shimmery crème shade, no glitter) with my usual essence Hot Chocolate Eyeliner and NYX Silky Cashmere for underneath the eye. Lips were a mix of Colourpop Lippie Stick in Brink and Maybelline Colour Drama Lipstick in Nude Perfection*. I can't believe I still haven't posted my Colourpop haul for you all to see...or my honeymoon haul come to think of it! I adore reading haul posts but have been feeling funny about writing my own if I'm honest...

Do you like reading haul posts?
Have you tried anything from Colourpop yet, or are you tempted?

    1. I was nervous that the colour would be too dark for me but it totally isn't, I am loving it more than I thought I would!

    1. It's frustrating when you can't get your hands on a brand, isn't it? I was so surprised when they announced Au shipping, hopefully that isn't far along for you also.

    1. Aw Lauren thank you! I've been using the dark Parker colour more than this but I wasn't sure how I felt about Brink, so it's good to know you like it on me! I don't think I've ever been asked about YouTube before - I think I'm too shy a person in that respect, plus I hate how high my voice sounds on camera!

    1. I highly recommend the Max Factor blush, I'm so in love with it! Love the 'new Zoeva of 2015' quote, nice one ;P I never got hooked into wanting Zoeva but Colourpop suckered me right in alright!

  6. Oooh, Colourpop highlighter! I think I've been convinced to add one of these to my next order... :P

    1. YESSS please do, you would rock so many of the highlighter shades I bet. One of the colours in the Summer boxset 'Parker' is my fave lippie from my order and I think you would smash that shade out of the park, too.
