Afternoon with Charlie | Charlie Colley Makeup

Hello everyone, 

So this weekend I spent the afternoon with Charlie Colley helping take pictures of her and her client for a wedding. Both Charlie and her client allowed me to take photos and post them on my blog.

Charlie is a qualified Makeup Artist from Cheshire and she is finishing off her Beauty Courses at The International School Of Beauty. She used a variety of different makeup products and makeup appliances ranging from MUA, Mac, Rimmel, Sleek Makeup, Estee Lauder, Benefit, Max Factor and more. 

Charlie's client was getting married in the afternoon and wanted her makeup natural but effective and with it being for a wedding she wanted it to last. Charlie used a primer under the makeup and she also used some of her clients preferred makeup, her client knew how she wanted her makeup from the makeup trail. 

Charlie's client was extremely happy with the result and thanked her after the wedding as her makeup lasted all day! I had a lovely afternoon, the makeup looked lovely and here is a couple of pictures from the day.Thanks to Charlie and her client for letting me come along and take photos of the day.

My Everyday Makeup

I decided to do a little post about the products I use on a daily basis. I normally have a set routine but I sometimes get bored and test other products out. I tend to use high street products daily and I change my eye shadows, mascara's and lipsticks but always use the same foundations and concealers. 

When they run low I try other products or test out samples to see what suits my skin better. I have a different routine and use other products when I am going out such as a heavier foundation, primer, darker eye shadows and generally use more makeup. These are the current products I am using- 

Bourjouis Bronzing Powder & Highlighter

Maybelline Fit Me Foundation

Seventeen ' Brows That!' Brow Kit

Natural Collection Concealer

Natural Collection Lipgloss  'Caramel Shortcake'

Bourjouis Rouge Edition Lipstick 'Rouge Jetset' 

Benefit High Beam

Seventeen High Drama Liquid Eyeliner

Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel

Lash Princess Volume Mascara 

Mac Powder Blush ' Peaches' 

I love reading about products other people uses and I think its interesting to see what people recommend! 

Hope you enjoyed my little post and I want to keep blogging about cosmetics and beauty tips. 

Do you use any of these products? 

Top 5 | November Lipsticks

Mua Lipstick Shade 2 - Fave Mua

Mua Lipstick Shade 1 Fave Mua

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet 47 "L'amoureuse' 

Mac Lipstick 'Flamin Go' Fave Mac

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet 42 'L'eclante'

This blog has been really difficult as there is too many different lipsticks. Today I have focused on 5 lipsticks which I have been using recently. I have a few high branded lipsticks but I seem to generally have more drugstore branded lipsticks..

Mua lipsticks are my all time favorites! Through out my blogs you will realize that I talk about Mua products alot.. I just feel that the price is unbelievable and the quality amazes me, most of Mua products are such reasonable prices, all lipsticks are £1. I practically own all the Mua products and use the Lipsticks and Mascara daily. At the moment I am loving Shades 1 and 2 in the Mua Lipsticks range and these two lipsticks I have been using regularly this Autumn/ Winter, I love these two rich tones and I already spoke about Lipstick 1 in my October Favorites.

Mac lipstick 'Flamin Go' is quite a neutral light colour, perfect all year round. I do like this product but I sometimes find that the texture can be slightly thick sometimes.. now this might just mean that it doesn't suit my lip texture compared to other lipsticks and compare to other people.

You can never go wrong with Chanel lipsticks and again I have picked two lipsticks by the same brand. Both these colors are completely different, Chanel 'L,amoureuse' is a beautiful plum and Chanel 'L'eclante' is a perky pink. I find that Chanel lipsticks are very hydrating and long lasting and do last a good duration of time, I find the Chanel products have to use as I love the packaging and I love the Chanel print in the lipstick!

Which lip products do you prefer?

Trick or treat? October favorites

Trick or treat? 

My three treats 

Its Halloween 2014 and I love this time of year. Pumpkins, fancy dress, funfairs, Autumn air and warm fires. 

These products are my October favourites and I have used these three the most. 

I am really loving deep, rich colours this Autumn and I have used these products everyday recently. 

MUA Eyeshadow 

In my October favorites I have two Mua products. I really love their products and think they are really reasonable pricing. These eyeshadow are perfect size to use everyday and I have been using the far left light brown most. I think you can wear this colour all year round. But it has been my favourite this Autumn and goes well with red lipstick. 

MUA Lipstick

My second is my other Mua product, I have brought all of the Mua lipsticks as for £1 each, how can you not? This product goes so well with all my Autumn clothes. It is a deep red/ burgundy and it is nameless but it is shade 1 so I will name it 'Autumn leaf' as it reminds me of beautiful wine coloured, Autumn leaf. 

Mac Studio Fix Foundation

The Mac Studio Fix Foundation is my favorite foundation. It is perfect for my skin type and looks great for photos. I normally get N20 but I do tend to use this product either everyday or every other day.  

Happy Halloween! 

Let me know what your 3 October favorites products are?
