First Day of School make-up

Today was the first day back for my school. My school is quite strict and we are not aloud to wear 'noticable' make-up so if your school is the same here is my routine for the morning:
First i use a moisturiser, the one i recommend is the Neutrogena visibly clear oil-free one. As it's school i substitute foundations for conceler, i use the Garneir under eye roll on the the same for spots with has pro active in it or something. If your school is not so funny about make up feel free to use a foundation, i like bourjois healthy mix. Next i set my conceler with the NYC loose powder. I then use the myc cheek glow in Sutton Place Peach 656 as a bronzer and the clinique blush in sunset glow 101 on the apples. As for eyes, i just you one coat of falsies by maybeline and white eyeliner, i use the barry m kohl pencil in white. I then use my moisture renew lipstick in nude delight 700 and a barry m limited edition lipgloss in nearly nude, i got it free with an impulse body spray so don't know if it's part of their permanent collection.

HAUL: 01 SEPTEMBER 2011

So the end of august and today I have done quite a bit of shopping and choose to share with you, you may be suprised with some of my finds.
So first I tiptoed into M & S tobuy some bras, not going to go to into it, but i like the bras in there, otherwise i think its a bit of a granny shop... no offence. Although I was only in for bras I did actually find a really nice wool jumper.


I really like it. This photo doesn't really doesnt do like the detait justice. it's just really warm and I think im going to wear it with a white polo top so the collar peeks out and do it all the way up and dark wash jeans. It was £45 so quite expensive but it is real wool.

Next I went into New look and bought two things. Some suede brouges, it wont let me insert a picture but the link is here http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/shoes/suede-brogue  I got them in the red brick colour and I will probably wear it with the outfit above.
Also I got this really nice jumper http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/knitwear/buckle-boxy-cardigan_221925127 and I just like to wear it with any vest or t-shirt and jeans and brouges.

Then I had to go into superdrug and find little items of make up. So, as i've never owned one before, i decided toget the MUA primer, which is part of the MUA pro range at superdrug. As a mini reveiw I quite like it but havent been noticing that my foundation is staying on any longer but it does make my face feel nice and smooth. It was £4 and as a rating i would give it a 5/10.

I also picked up a moisture renew lipstick from Rimmel in shade 700 Nude delight which was roughly £4.23, but im not sure. As a description i would just say it's an orangey toned nude, less pinky and more golden. It's creamy enough that I dont think you need a base like a chapstick. It doesn't have very good staying power though so i'd give it a 7/10.Also from rimmel i picked up the glam eyes liquid eyeliner because there was an offer or something. I have mixed opinions on this. the applicator personnally annoys me as it is too flimsy, but the eyeliner does come out quite black and because i use a black eye shadow over, it does stay pretty much all day. I would rate it 6/10.
Finally I just picked up another (this is my forth) Stay matte pressed powder from rimmel. It's cheep and pretty much all you need from a pressed powder. It leaves my face matte, and not to oily at the end of the day. If you have oily skin it may be best to top up through out the day though. It was around £3.29 and i rate it 9/10.
