Mommy everyday basic make up

Lets be honest - becoming first time mom is not an easy experience and I don't mean giving birth only! Our whole life changes within a minute! Nothing is as it used to be.
After coming back home from hospital I was all up and down with my emotions. I was struggling with finding time to eat, sleep, brush my teeth ... not mentioning make up!

I am not a make-up freak but I like to put a bit of foundation, mascara or a lip balm just to feel a bit prettier :) In general I do like myself without the make up (except of seeing my pictures without it!!!) but it just gives me some type of extra happiness and confidence :)

For the first few weeks of being a mommy, make up was the last thing I could think about! However I was trying to put at least a bit of mascara when going out. By the time, I've managed to find some spare time in the morning to glam up my face :) Now I have my little make up routine :)

I tend to do my make up just after I have breakfast. It usually takes me from 5 to 15 minutes, depending how much effort I want put in it :) and what I am planning to do on that day.

When I do make up usually I like to drink my morning coffee and watch some YouTube videos or TV. I treat this as a little ME Time :)

This is what I use:

Face
  • Bourjois 123 Perfect Colour Correcting Cream - it has very light texture and makes my skin look more smooth. It gives natural looking finish.
  • Collection Illuminating Touch Brightening Concealer - I use it mainly under my eyes to cover dark circles. It gives pretty good coverage. It has a bit thick texture for my taste however blends quite well. I've noticed it gets into creases so I always wait until it sets for few seconds and then blend it a bit better again.
  • L'Oréal True Match foundation (Golden Beige) - I use this foundations on the days I need a bit more coverage than with CC cream from Bourjois. True Match from L'Oreal and Rimmel Wake Me Up are my recent favourite foundations.


  • Sleek Face Contour Kit (Light 884) - contains pressed contour powder and highlighter. Easy to use and blend.
  • Make up Revolution Baked Blusher (All I think about is you) - shimmer blush

    Eyes
  • Make up Revolution Iconic 2 Palette - it contains all natural colours good for every day make up as well as the evening one
  •   L'oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara - my second favourite after Max Factor Masterpiece Max
  •   L'Oréal Super Liner Perfect Slim - I liked this eyeliner for very slim tip which enables drawing precise and slim lines - quite important for someone like me who is not the best in doing straight and precise lines.




Lips

  • Bourjois Colour Boost lip crayon (07 Proudly naked) - for every day I like lip products that are soft, stay long and they are not sticky. I tried many different ones and there was always something not right. Until I found this one! It is easy in application and lasts long. When applied it feels like I have some lip butter and it blends so well with my lip colour and it gives them a better natural look.
