Waterproof Makeup

For those of you who may or may not know, I am a lifeguard and swimming teacher. I teach swimming four times a week, and lifeguard around that. My job means that sometimes I have to get in the pool, either expected or unexpectedly. Thankfully, most of the time I don't have to get in, but there is always a chance. So, I like to wear makeup that I know will not drip down my face if it does happen.

I apologise my brows are awful, they are due a wax!

I like to opt for a lighter foundation or a BB cream when I work, I can't actually remember what I wore here but I think it was L'Oreal Nude Magique or Rimmel Matte BB Cream! 

Brows are always filled in, but with a wax instead. I like the Sleek eyebrow stylist, and don't forget the brow gel!

I like using colour tattoos from Maybelline, they stay on forever and they can be subtle, or strong, depending on how much you want! 

Always use a powder, and waterproof mascara! I like Maybelline Lash Sensational. TIP: It hurts if you get mascara or in particular concealer in your eyes, so light coats of mascara and extremely light on the under eye concealer!

I don't bother with lipsticks or gloss so I just use a lip balm! :) 

I hope this helped some of you, this could also be used in the summer if you're at the pool or if it's just a really hot day!

7 Deadly Sins of Beauty Tag!

Hello! I'm trying my best to get back into blogging, as I have so many events coming up and I really want to account for them. (Is that the right term.. or?) So to start back, I have the Seven Deadly Sins Beauty tag!

1. GREED: What is your most expensive beauty product? What is your most inexpensive?
Now, I'm a bit tight when it comes to money. I bloody hate spending it! But I think it's my Urban Decay Naked palette, which retails for £38. Thirty eight pound for twelve eyeshadows! But saying that, my parents got it for me. So I think it's my Benefit set with six blushes and a highlighter that come out at christmas, or my Urban Decay Naked on the Run palette!
Inexpensive, easily, the MUA lipsticks for £1. Bargain!

2. WRATH: What products do you have a love/hate relationship with?
Liquid blushes. I love the Benefit tints, I have them all! But lordy, they are so hard to blend. I love the colours, I love the idea of it not coming off, but I do not love the fact I can't leave it in one place for more than 0.9 seconds!

3. GLUTTONY: What are your most delicious beauty products?
My MAC lipsticks taste delightful, the vanilla scent is just peeeerfect. Another is the LUSH Bubblegum lip scrub and oh my lord, it's like heaven in a pot.

4. SLOTH: What beauty product do you neglect due to laziness?
Eyeliner. I don't wear liquid eyeliner as it doesn't suit me in the slightest but any eyeliner is just soooo much hassle. Just the mascara life for me!

5. PRIDE: What product gives you the most confidence?
Foundation, as my skin is bloody damn awful. Or red/dark lipstick, I legit feel like a rebel when I wear MAC's Rebel lipstick.

6. LUST: What product makes you feel more attractive?
Lipstick, I just feel like I can take on the world when I have my lippy on. Also, glowy skin like, whenever I look in the mirror and I look so radiant and healthy, its great! The combination of the two and I actually can take on the world.

7. ENVY: What products would you most like to receive as a gift?
I would loooove another Naked palette, in particular 2. They're just so damn gorgeous! Or I would love a Nars product, like the Sheer Glow foundation or their audacious lip pencils. Ooh, or Zoeva brushes, rose gold is just mhmmm!

I tag all of you to do this tag!

Spontaneous? I think so!

Hello! So much to you guys' surprise, I suffer with anxiety. It's not something I want to get into unless you want me to explain in detail, let me know!

I'm not good with going out of my comfort zone at all. And already this month, I have done that.

I feel like September is going to be an amazing month as I am going on holiday with my friend tomorrow night! Me and my friend made the spontaneous decision 10 days ago to go on a little get away to Majorca in Spain! More travel posts to come woohoo!

Also, I have gone ombré!

This is something I've wanted to do for a while and I'm so happy I made the decision to get that blonde on! I will be doing a full ombré haircare routine and detailed post on what they did to my hair to get it the way it is within the next week!

Awful lighting :( (bad blogger)

How's your September been so far?

P.s. No august favourites this month I'm afraid! Not found anything spectacular but September is looking great product wise already :)
