I normally
post current loves and #todaysmakeup on my Instagram page (@emmabovary if you’d
like to follow!) but today I felt like babbling a little bit more about
what I have on today. I’m still on placement, teaching English at a
secondary school quite a bit further from our new home than I’d like, and the
distance means earlier-than-usual
mornings and groggy makeup application. I’ve been pretty boring when it comes
to makeup choices, because I have a small selection of beauty products unpacked
with the rest locked away. I have had some pretty rad deliveries recently
though, one being the new Clarins
Instant Concealer* which is for reviving tired eyes that’s me alright. I’ve been using it for almost a week now, and I
must say I am pretty impressed with it. Another power packed product I’m using
today is the Lush atomiser in Lust*,
which is so strongly scented with lovely Jasmine that one spray is about all I
need! I made the mistake of spraying it in my office the other day…sorry fellow teachers!
A consistent
love of mine is not surprisingly on my mug today, to keep my face matte and helping
to cover up some blemishes. Maybelline
Dream Matte really is amazing, you should try it! One of the more
exciting products today was applied after my morning coffee (from a barista who
remembered my order from day 2!) is the new Bourjois
Color Boost Lip Crayon in Peach on the Beach. It’s a pale and pigmented
glossy crayon that I’ve loved wearing with a peachier blush, and I can see it
looking absolutely beautiful on skin tones darker than my own as well. So that
rounds up most of what I am currently wearing!
What are you
currently wearing?
What perfume
or lip crayon have you been using lately?
*Provided for consideration. Honesty, always.
I definitely want to try out that Clarins concealer - sounds fab. I've just picked up that same Bourjois Lip Crayon too and loving it and also the Face of Australia Lip Crayon in Cupcake.

Thanks for your comment Kayte :) The concealer is pretty awesome, I'm going to have a full review up soon. I have Cupcake but haven't used it much, must bust it out again asap!
DeleteI bought my first ever pan of Dream Matte just recently - on your recommendation! I'll get onto using it once I finish my current pan :)
ReplyDeleteYES! I bought that TheBalm powder because of you (but am yet to use) so now we are even! What powder are you using at the moment?
DeleteI remember doing prac with 5ish am wake ups - never again! I pretty much just used my Missha M BB Cream with a powder and wiped some form of eyeshadow on the lids lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying Elizabeth Arden's Pretty at the moment. Nice soft floral scent =)
The early wake ups are so tiring, I'm only now getting some energy back (but am still at uni soo...) I've been leaning on my BB cream this week now that no-one is really looking at my face again, haha.
DeleteOh, can you tell me more about the Clarins concealer?
ReplyDeleteI will definitely try to get a review up as soon as I can, but suffice to say I'm a little bit in love :)
DeleteI have the Maybelline Dream Matte powder as well but I've seemed to move on to loving Make Up Forever's Duo Matte for that extra thin layer of coverage when I set my face. Your post is a good reminder to me that I should pull out the Dream Matte powder again! Also, when you can please do a review on the Clarin's instant concealer? I always have tired eyes cause of school and work lol :S
ReplyDeleteI adore the extra coverage that Dream Matte gives me, I haven't yet tried the MUFE offering but even the name sounds promising! I will definitely try to get a review up ASAP
DeleteI'll have to check out the Clarins. Sadly, the Maybelline powder just doesn't work for me. I had such high hopes for it!
ReplyDeleteLiz it is a pretty nice concealer. Too bad that the Maybelline doesn't suit you, it is my very favourite! Lucky it was a cheap risk ;P
