My Autumn "Face of the Day"

first off I should start this post by discussing the obvious fact that I have been the world's worst at keeping up to date with this blog. I really would like to make it a goal for myself to post at least once a week on this little blog of mine. Now that I have it in writing hopefully this will keep me accountable (we shall see). To be honest I have been dealing with some health related things and it has pretty much killed my creativity. However, now that I am feeling a bit better I have found that ever so sly inspiration and can continue to blog again. This may be partly because Autumn is my all time favourite season and just the most inspirational/beautiful time of year in my personal opinion, but either way here goes nothing. So to kick things off I decided to do a beauty post and talk about my everyday Autumn face. So basically, when I want to take the time to do my makeup probably, these are the products I have been using this season.
I'll take you through my step by step process.
1. Foundation: Rimmel London: Wake Me Up Foundation (shade 103: True Ivory)
2. Powder: Rimmel London: Stay Matte Pressed Powder (shade: Transparent)
3. Concealer: Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer (shade: 3: Medium)
4. Eye Primer: Nars Pro-Prime
5. Eye Shadow Base: Maybelline Color Tattoo (shade 25: Bad to the Bronze)
6. Eye Shadow: Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette and Too Faced Natural Eye Palette
7. Eyeliner: Soap & Glory: Smoulder Kohl (shade: Superblack)
8. Liquid Eyeliner: L'oreal Paris Super Liner Perfect Slim (shade: Intense Black)
9. Mascara: bareMinerals Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara (shade: Black)
10. Bronzer: Nars Bronzer (shade: Laguna)
11. Blusher: Dior Blush (shade 943: Strawberry Sorbet)
12. Highlighter: Mac Mineralize Skinfinish (shade: Soft and Gentle)
13. Eyebrows: bareMinerals Brow Color (shade: Dark Blonde/Medium Brown)
14. Lips: Mac Lustre (shade: Plumful)
I plan on doing a more in depth review with a lot of these products in the future! It may seem like a lot of makeup/work but it takes me around 15/25 minutes to do my whole face depending on how much of a rush I am. 

I am pretty sure my coffee machine is calling my name so I will leave you with this little nugget of wisdom "The most beautiful thing a woman can ever wear is confidence."
