The Daily Tray 03

I was due for an updated daily tray, so I moved everything around and shopped my stash to find some exciting beauty products to get busy with in March.

As you can see, whittling down my daily tray just isn't going to happen. I switch up my makeup almost every day, so it wouldn't make sense to have one shadow, one blush etc sitting out on my counter. When my beauty room is finally ready (should be within the week!) I will have this set up in there, but for now it stays in our guest bathroom where the light is best in the morning and I have room to spread out my beloved beauty products. This rotation will probably stay out for the whole month, with a few edits as we go along in case I get bored or fall in love with a certain look.

Lips are primarily easy and wearable shades right now, as I've been focusing on my eye looks and just need a pretty lip shade that doesn't overpower the eyes. My go-to has been my Kmart Naked lipstick topped with Dior Dormeuse, but I've thrown Chanel Boy back into the mix in an effort to use it up and be able to treat myself to another luxe lipstick to replace it.

My obsession with eye makeup stemmed from Larie's recent post which had me seriously swooning, but I showed restraint and instead of buying the exact products she used I reached into my stash and pulled out my favourite MAC palette - Royal Assets: 6 Warm Eyes which has a stack of amazing colours including MAC Club. I plan on using this palette in a whole bunch of new ways this month, and I'm excited!
Eyes:
Too Faced Pretty Rebel palette
MAC Royal Assets Warm Eyes
Bourjoir Kaki Etonnant eyeshadow

Covergirl Flamed Out mascara*
Revlon Lash Potion mascara
Rimmel Rockin' Curves mascara*

This is me showing restraint in the blush stakes, okay?

Cheeks:

Clinique Cheek Pop in Peach Pop*

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Radiant Magenta

Physicians Formula Mineral Glow Pearls in Beige Pearl

Sunday Riley Blushing

Cezanne Lasting Cheek in 01 

Throw in my current foundation (L'Oreal Lumi Magique Light Infusing Foundation in N1 Pure Pearl*) and a Valentina perfume sample and we are good to go for the month!

Currently Wearing

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?
