Is there anything
more delicious than a lazy Sunday morning? I can’t think of anything I enjoy
more than a cheeky sleep in, a big (and I mean BIG!) mug of coffee and nothing
on the agenda for the day but tidying up the house, watching Catfish with
Mister and perhaps a sneaky trip to Masters! Often I’ll roll around on the
Sunday bare-faced, but other times I feel like playing around with makeup (or
we’re heading out to the local café for breakfast and I need to look alive!) I’ve been really enjoying
throwing my new and shiny products in with old staples to simultaneously put a
dent in some pans and spice up my routine for the weekend! Here is my weekend
face…
A major trim fringe occurred
during the week by the way– still a bit springy but I’m loving the way it
frames my face differently than before I had it chopped! So back to the makeup –
I’m still working on my bottle of Illamasqua Skin Base (which is part
of my Project Use It Up) and I’m getting a bit frustrated that I can’t see how
much more I have to go before it’s done, but I’m persisting and teamed it with
my forgotten tube of Maybelline SuperStay 24HR Concealer –
this stuff really packs a punch when it comes to coverage! For eyes I went with
my current go-to team: Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze
+ MAC Jaunty + MAC Coquette – long-lasting and a fallback when I’m focusing on
the blush colour over all else!
I picked up the Hourglass
Ambient Blush Palette when I first hit up Sephora in Las Vegas, and I was so excited about making the
purchase that the kind sales assistant opened up each and every palette so that
we could select which variation of the marbled blush shades would best suit me
(Sephora, I heart you big time) When I landed in Australia I promptly avoided
using it as I sometimes get this crazy fear of disappointment -
#beautybloggerproblems? It turns out I had nothing to worry about, the quality of
this blush formula is insane (see Radiant Magenta in my 2014 Favourites here) and
I’m loving the way Incandescent
Electra is a glowy and easy
to wear orange shade for me.
What is involved in
your perfect Sunday? Does it pain you to think about the weekend on a Monday,
or does it help you push through the week like it does for me?

I have a serious blush addiction so I know just what you mean!
DeleteAhhh you look gorgeous! That Hourglass blush palette is so darn pretty! x
ReplyDeleteOh thank you Candice - Hourglass blushes are so damn good!
DeleteLove the fringe - it's super cute! You look so fresh-faced and radiant!
ReplyDeleteThanks Larie, I needed a big change like that!
DeleteYour fringe makes you look younger! =) I'm on school holidays at the moment so it's been pretty cruisey for me heehee. Hourglass is definitely on my to try list!

Haha I got asked at work the other day if I was in my teens, and I had my fringe back and all! Made me laugh as I'm older than the person who asked ;) Holidays rock!
DeleteLove the fringe on you! I've always been curious about the Illamasqua foundation.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I really enjoyed Skin Base - excited to try something new next but it's definitely great if you like a fuller coverage base :)
DeleteMy god, I wish it was Sunday again RIGHT NOW.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ the Sephora experience! That's crazy good customer service, although I don't quite like the idea of an item having been opened up before I get to it. But that's the hypocrite in me since I've opened up boxes before when the testers were missing. Glad you're enjoying the palette!
Me too Liz, me too!
DeleteI almost always see CS people here checking the product isn't shattered etc before wrapping it up - no fingerprints or anything so it doesn't bother me! When it comes to these blush highlight hybrids I think you really have to see the one you're taking home - otherwise you might be stuck with an odd one that has too much marbling or something like that! If they touched them or left fingerprints though I would find that offputting!
