a face, featuring Danmari and drugstore wonders

Days without make up just aren't doing it for me lately. I feel like I need that little bit of creativity in the morning to jump start my day. This is the face I painted on the other day to celebrate one of my nephew's birthdays in the park with his mothers group- was such a lovely day, filled with chatter, lollies and running around with little ones.
This is my fallback look, I wear quite a lot of coral and orange so it goes with that really well.
I like quite a heavy blush, and this was no exception.
A simple wash of a champagne neutral over the lid and my Lancome Doll Eyes mascara.

Most of these items are my favourites of the moment, and so you might see them in my January favourites as well. It's mostly drugstore/priceline stuff, with a touch of high end in there.
Danmari palette: Nars Orgasm
Danmari palette: Nars Hungry Heart highlighter
 Maybelline Dream Matte Powder
 Loujene brow powder (darkest one)
Ardell clear brow gel
Essence gel liner in Midnight in Paris
Revlon Super Lustrous gloss in Coral Reef
Maybelline Color Sensational in Coral Pop
L'Oreal Color Infallible in Sahara Treasure

Hidden away are the Dove tinted moisturiser (beige) and Lancome Doll Eyes mascara.

My most common FOTD's tend to feature coral lips...
How often do you wear a coral/orange lip?
What are some of your favourite coral products?
(All items featured in this post were purchased by me, except for Sahara Treasure + Nars Danmari palette (Christmas gifts from Chris) and Dream Matte Powder (gift from best friend Candice). Honesty,always.)

  1. Love how this look adds just a nice hint of colour, not overpowering. And I have to try that mascara!! Looks fabulous on your lashes! Did you curl your lashes first or just apply the mascara directly on your lashes? Or are your lashes naturally curly? Sorry for asking so many questions.

    1. Ask as many questions as you like!! I have never curled my lashes, I'm a bit of a scaredy cat about it to be honest. I just whack the mascara straight on, I'm lucky to have a bit of a natural curl to my own lashes. I'd love to know what you thought of the mascara if you try it!

    1. Thanks Suzanne, how stunning is the blush palette!? Even just saying the words 'blush palette' gets me, sigh.

  4. You're so lucky! Your skin looks near flawless when you're wearing only tinted moisturiser! Very jelly. x

    1. Michelle keep in mind that this isn't a crazy full up close shot, my skin isn't flawless in reality! I have gotten to a stage where I'm happy with just tinted moisturiser, but wish my skin was clearer. Thanks for commenting :D
