FOTD / everyday makeup routine

12:22

Hello my loves!

It's been a while, but here I am making another post, but this time on my everyday makeup routine lately.

The palettes I use will often switch out, as I like to rotate them, but for the most part, the colors and the other products stay the same.

I have very small lashes, keep that in mind when looking here! i look like i didn't use mascara BUT I DID


I also often swap out my lipstick, but it's been a fairly neutral lip lately.


Products used:

For my base:
Nars Sheer glow in Monte Blanc
Mac pro long wear Concealer (it looks dark but it matches my skin and hides my under eye bags PERFECTLY)
Powder is the Rimmel one in translucent 
Bronzer is sephora brand matte one (name rubbed off)
Blush is a sample size I got in the shade fearless

Brows:
Brow Wiz in Dark Brown (which is now just brunette?)
Maybeline brow drama in the medium shade to set them

Now, this ladies and gents is my favourite part. The morphe palette. I so badly want the Jaclyn Hill Faves, but this pre made Morphe one is PRETTY DAMN GOOD. I used the two on the second row for my transition, more of the orange one. The color on the fourth row I used all over my lid, then going back with the transitions shades to blend it all in. The color at the bottom I used in my crease. Blended it all out and used the first shade for my brow bone!  (If you want a review on this palette, let me know.)
Eyeliner/Mascara:
I used an older Avon eyeliner in black to tightline
Tarte Lights Camera Lashes mascara in a teeny tiny size

Highlight:
I used the Benefit Watts Up 

Lips:
Maybeline's Touch of Spice (not shown in photo as in handbag)

And that is my face done! I posted this on the makeupaddiction subreddit, and I got one comment that stood out to me that said I had done my makeup wonderfully. One of the best compliments!

Let me know if you use any of these products and if you like them too. 

Have a good weekend!

Toodle-doo!

the weekend: productivity

18:56

Sunday funday is really just sunday chores day. I went up island to visit my best friend Sam for her birthday on friday, which was most excellent, let me say. Then yesterday evening I went to stay at my boyfriend's place for the night, and I really didn't get anything done there to be quite honest, but it was really nnice and relaxing, even though he just gamed for the majority of it.

We did, however, try and cook. When I say try, I mean try out different things. He's a great cook actually, he thinks that I don't like his cooking, but I really do. He's probably better than I am. Anyways, we tried out to make our own "chips" or more like sliced potatoes baked in the oven for fourty minutes. I had managed to cut a few really thin pieces, but other than that, they were just like round potato slices, but they were good!

Today, being a Sunday, after getting off my ass and stopped watching youtube videos, I did some laundry and tidied up a bit, and helped my mom cook dinner. I do live at home, for anyone wondering. I also cleaned my brushes, which I took a picture of because well, why not?

Ouuu yeah so clean and soft!

I love washing my brushes. I do a spot clean every other day basically, but every few weeks I do a huge clean and scrub my brushes and use some conditioner to keep the bristles nice and soft. 
I had no real reason to post today, I just realized I haven't in a while. I figured that I may as well tell you what I did today and my weekend. I think I'll share a picture tomorrow about my everyday makeup, Estee style. Have all the products scattered beautifully. 

I hope you all had a lovely weekend! Enjoy your week everyone! 

Toodle-doo! xx
