Date Night make-up and outfit

Date night this week was so lovely, we went for dinner in Yo! Sushi and then after wandering around the shops for a wee while, went to see the new Hobbit movie - its such a good movie! 
 Make-up wise I kept things kind of simple, to start of I used a few sprays of the Urban Decay De-Slick Spray and primed my skin with my Smashbox primer, Maybelline Dream Satin foundation and Maybelline fit me concealer to cover some redness and blemishes. Also on the face was the Bourjois bronzer and highlighter. The brows are my usual go to products, Brow Wiz and Gimmie brow - just the perfect combo. My eyes were a bit more snazzy than I usually do, but I quite like it. They look pretty, it was simple to do and boy did the shadow last forever. I used the Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze on my lids and L'Oreal Carbon Black and Tatre Lights Camera Splashes on the lashes. I used my new Maybelline Velvet Pencil in Keep it Classy, my abs fave colour at the moment. 
I kept my outfit really casual, it was too cold outside to do much else. Of course I wore my red Urban Outfitters cardigan, I paired it with black Topshop Joni jeans and my ASOS blue stappy top along with my shine-y new white converse. 
I had such a nice night out, and the hobbit was such a good movie to see in the cinema. Gotta love a good date night.

Face of the Day #1

apologies if this is a crappy photo....  

I love reading peoples FOTD posts, and thought that I would do the occasional Face Of The Day as well. 99% of the time my make-up is the exact same, so unless I change it up and use different products - I'll be lucky if I do one a month.
This week is my first official week of University - attend lectures and what not. Its also the first proper week for freshers for my university.
Since I don't have a lot of time in the mornings, my make-up is pretty simple and extremely easy to do. This morning I wanted a little more coverage than my normal BB cream so opted for Benefit's Hello Flawless foundation, I use the colour Ivory and it seems to be a pretty good match. I used my fingers at first to apply this then finished off with my Real Techniques Buffing Brush. Normally I wouldn't do much else face wise - maybe a little concealer and then powder - but today I decided to pop a little blusher on. I was struggling on which one to go for, my Milani blush or the Physicians Formula one.  In the end I went for my Milani Luminoso blush, its a lovely peachy colour and has a little bit of highlight in it. Its such a pretty colour, looks natural and gives a fresh radiant look. I really wish Milani was available here in the UK.
For my eyes I decided to give them a little bit of colour by using my Collection Work the Colour Shadow Pencil in Hot Chocolate. I love these shadows, they are really easy to work with and are such lovely colours. I applied it all over my lid and used my finger to blend it out a bit. For my lashes I first used my Vintage Cosmetics Eyelash Curlers and then used YVES Rocher Sexy Pulp Mascara, this is my all time favourite mascara. It is the only one I have found that doesn't stick my lashes together.
For my lips I first used my NUXE Reve De Miel lip balm to smooth everything over, and to help my lipstick last a little longer. Lipstick wise I went for Milani in Roseplum, this has fast become my favourite lipstick and I wear it almost everyday.
A quick spray of Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck perfume and I'm good to go.

My simple everyday look, easy to wear and quick to do.
