This Week I've Been Wearing... #10.



I've had a switch around of my hair, makeup and skincare recently and found some real winners in amongst my stash!

You've probably heard me banging on about my favourite skincare product at the moment - the NUDE Miracle Mask (review here), it's changed my skin so much that I had to pick up this NUDE Purifying Cleansing Wash (a real bargain too, I reckon!). NUDE are quickly becoming my favourite skincare brand and I can't tell you how much I love this cleanser - it makes such a difference to my skin as well as removing all my makeup. It's great for combination skin types as it refines skin and makes it feel so smooth and soft. If there's one thing you should pick up, it's the NUDE Miracle Mask or this Purifying Cleanser.

My hair is in desperate need of a restyle, I'm getting bored of it and I'm not sure how to wear it. This Bumble and Bumble Brilliantime is a product that gives it a sexy, sultry "slept in" look but also adding a lovely shine to it. You only need a small amount, I run a blob through towel dried hair before blow-drying, it doesn't have huge affects, but leaves a sort of subtle, shiny but effortlessly messy look to your hair. It's fast becoming one of my most used products for my locks.

I've been giving this Liz Earle Signature Foundation a whirl recently, I got the shade Ivory which is perfect for me, a fair yellowed toned shade. This is really lightweight but provides great coverage, all imperfections are blurred and skin looks flawless. I'm really impressed with the wear and finish, and it's buildable too (although I'd put it at medium but natural coverage).

Next up, I finally, finally got my hands on the L'Oreal Rouge Caresse in Dating Coral - I've been after this one for some time now and I love the shade just as much as I thought I would. It's lovely and glossy - great for those with dry lips and the colour is bright. I absolutely love these and I really recommend picking a few up.

Lastly, I've got two eye products which have worked their way into my most used stash of late. The first is MACs Groundwork paintpot, a nice rich caramel brown with just a hint of shimmer. I wasn't expecting to like this at first as it doesn't look too exciting in the pot, but as it happens it's one of my favourite products. Sweep it over lids and a little under the lower lash line to make eyes pop!
I've been giving eyeliner a whirl lately and I must say, I'm really impressed with this L'Oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim, it's perfect for doing winged eyeliner and getting a really accurate line. I used it in my 60s Makeup Tutorial video with ASOS, so have a look to see how I did it.

I'm really impressed with this weeks picks, I'll definitely be getting more from NUDE and I'm even thinking about wearing eyeliner more - whoa! What are your thoughts?

  6. That Nude facial wash sounds fab! It says you're supposed to avoid your eyes when you use it though on the John Lewis website. Have you used it on eye makeup and does it take it off?
