The Easy Peasy Summer Face

You know how people say it always rains in London? They clearly have not been here too lately. I've been successfully dying of heat every single night for probably a week now. Not to mention the humidity.
The plus side of humidity means that I always feel like my skin is hydrated. The downside is that you have to be careful what you put on your face, because it might just melt away. 
This is why I truly keep it to a minimum lately, with nothing more than a moisturiser as a base. With this heat, I cannot deal with any other layer.

But you still gotta look and feel pretty, right? So here's what goes on my face as of late:

First rule is: keep it powdery. 
Especially in humidity, you're better off with powder rather than creamy products. So while I love my creamy illuminator, I've gone with the Soap and Glory Solar Powder instead.
And where I used to be the eternal liner gal, the current substitute is the Wet n' Wild Comfort Zone palette. I can either just use one of the dark colours for liner or create a nice tan summery eye.
A immensely surprising mascara favourite is the Origins GinZing mascara. Yes, they make mascara. I for one did not expect that. And least of all did I expect it to be so great! Your lashes feel and light, beautiful and defined. Exactly my kind of mascara!
And now, my favourite new discovery:  The KIKO Lip Gloss Pencil in 07 Baby Pink. I'm very likely to pick a pencil in favour of a lipstick nowadays. I'll make a separate post on these pencils because I just love them and for 3,90£ they have an almost surreal price-quality ratio!

The Weekend Face

I saw that you really liked my post last week of The Sunday Face so I figured I'd do this again. This time, it's a Saturday face, or really a general weekend face. Since I'm looking mildly healthier from repeated sun exposure over the past week, I'm going to be using even less make-up, but we still need to look presentable.

As you can see, I'm still not giving up the cheek tint, since it really gives you a lovely little pop of colour while looking very natural, but have switched to the Benefit Cha Cha Tint, because I'm less pale and more warm toned now.
Another thing I can't give up yet is concealer, this time, the pick is the Soap & Glory Kick Ass Concealer, about which I still have mixed feeling but am giving a couple more tries to be sure. Have you tried it? What do you think? I'll be reviewing it soon as well but I'm curious of your experiences.
What I always grab if I want a fast and pretty fix is my Inglot palette that you can see up close and personal Here. It has everything and it is immensely effective!
While I love the Rimmel Lycra Flex Mascara, on the more relaxed days, I will always grab my Eyeko Fat Mascara because well....I'll always love fiber mascara above all else.

Last but not least, what days SPRING IS HEREEEE! more than Barry M's Greenberry  polish? It has been a favourite since summer and you can see what it looks like on my nails in This post.

How's your face looking this weekend? And ladies, if there is sun where you are, enjoy it to the max!

The Sunday Face

My weekends usually are set aside as the time where I put nothing on my face, but today I'm going to be out and about for some mild socialising and wanted to show you what would go on my face for the occasion.
Mind you, my everyday look isn't much different, it just implies extra eyeshadow and liner. I really do like to have as light a coverage as possible, even if at this point in almost spring, my face isn't the healthiest looking of things.

The new discovery I'm VERY happy about is the Elmiplant CC cream, as it has just the amount of coverage I need, is very hydrating and is based on natural ingredients. I used to be a massive consumer of the Maybelline BB cream, but ever since learning they test on bunnies, they are dead to me.

The new under-eye hero is Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer. I did not think I needed something this light, but it has proven me wrong. It really wakes your face up, especially since I was born with extra darkness around the eyes.

A really new favourite is also from Rimmel, the Scandaleyes Lycra Flex Mascara. I am a firm fiber mascara user, but I saw the word "flex" in this one and figured it would be different. It was indeed! Gives you the most insane lashes,while still not clumping or feeling heavy.

For the cheeks, I've been reaching for Benefit's PosieTint ever so often. I've had it for a while but hadn't used it much. Seems now is the right time. And for the extra glow, I dab a bit of Soap and Glory Glow All Out. Those two combined, or even on their own, will make you look healthy and happy in no time!

Last but not least, my immense darling: Inglot AMC matte lip pencil No. 14. After years of searching for the perfect nude, I have found the perfect "your lips but better" nude.
It's almost unthinkable for me to not have this in my bag at all times.
