I think we all have those days where simple make up is all we feel like and for me, today was one of those days.

| 1) ELF Mineral Foundation ~ Porcelain | £5
I recently purchased this as my first mineral foundation and I've been trying it out today. So far I'm really liking it, but I'm going to keep using it for a little longer before I do a full review.

| 2) The Body Shop Eyeshadow ~ #4 | £7
I bought this eyeshadow a few weeks ago when The Body Shop had 50% off and I'm so glad I now have it. It's the perfect colour for me, and it's matte which I like on some days when I just want quick and easy make up. It doesn't crease and I've worn it without a primer today and I've still had no creasing so I'm impressed.

| 3) Max Factor Wild Mega Volume Mascara ~ Black | £6.99 (currently £4.99 as an introductory price)
I've already done a full review of this mascara here and I absolutely love it. It has an hourglass shape wand, which isn't the normal wand you'd expect from a mascara, but I really like it. It doesn't clump my lashes and it doesn't flake off during the day.

| 4) FashionistA Eyebrow Kit | £7 (currently on offer for £3.50!)
For a year or so I stuck to my ELF Eyebrow Kit but I decided it was time to try something new and I love this palette. I will be doing a review in the next couple of weeks so look out for that, but overall I'm really loving this palette for my brows and I definitely recommend it.

| 5) Sleek Contour Kit ~ Light | £6.49
I've had my contour kit for a while now and I always go back to it to if I fancy a change from my Bourjois 'Chocolate' Bronzer. The contour powder in this kit is perfect for me because it doesn't look muddy and that's something I sometimes have an issue with, since I am so pale. The highlighter in the kit is also lovely, but however I gave that a miss and just wanted to add a little bit of colour to my face.

What are your staple beauty items for a simple make up look?

Yesterday I blogged about the new MUA products I'd purchased and so I wanted to try them out so I can do reviews soon. Therefore, most of the products I've used today are MUA.

| 1) MUA Undress Your Skin Illuminating Foundation ~ Porcelain | - £5
So far I'm enjoying using this foundation as it's easy to apply and blends in nicely which makes all the difference when I'm trying to do my make up in a rush.

| 2) MUA Undress Your Skin Flawless Skin Primer  | - £5
This primer smooths out my skin considerable amounts although I'm unsure on whether I prefer my primer to have a pump like this one does.

| 3) Pro-Base Conceal and Brighten Kit ~ Porcelain - Beige | - £3.50
This kit seems to have a very creamy formulation which I love because it makes application and blending so much easier.

| 4) Undress Me Too Palette | - £4
I used a few shimmery shades and so far I'm really impressed with the pigmentation.

| 5) Collection Skyscraper Mascara ~ Black | £4.99
I've been loving this mascara for a while now and I love it, it's so affordable and doesn't clump.

| 6)  Soap and Glory Thick and Fast Mascara ~ Superjet Black | £10
I am also loving this mascara, it adds so much volume to my lashes and isn't impossible to remove at the end of the day like some of my mascaras are!

| 7) Undress Your Skin Highlighting Powder | £3
This highlighter is just so beautiful in pan and on cheekbones. I think this may become one of my favourite highlighters!

| 8) ELF Studio Eyebrow Kit ~ Light | £3.75
I first bought this eyebrow kit a while ago and I have honestly used it every day since and I have hit pan so I really need to re-purchase it. I only use the wax side as I feel that's enough for my brows.

| 9) ELF Cream Eyeliner ~ Black | £3.75
I go between my Rimmel Exaggerate Eyeliner and this cream eyeliner. I chose the cream eyeliner today since I bought a new MUA Eyeliner Brush. This eyeliner stays on for hours with no smudging at all.

I've only ever done a couple of FOTD's before but I might start doing them more regularly, as I'm trying to use different make up and changing my routine about. A few things are staple items for me though. I have done posts on quite a few of these products as well so they'll be linked in the post. 

| 1) Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer | - £6.99

I appear to be constantly mentioning this primer but I absolutely love it. It's a drugstore product, so therefore isn't expensive at only £6.99. I've done a full post on this primer here. It makes my foundation stay on longer and it makes me skin smoother which makes application of my foundation and concealer easier.

| 2) Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum ~ Shade 51 Vanille Claire| - £10.99

I've not been using this foundation long, but so far I really like it. I'll be doing a whole review on it soon so look out for that! It's a medium coverage but feels light on the skin. I mentioned it here in my 'Small Boots Haul' in case you wanted to see a better photo.

| 3) Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer | - £10

I bought this back in November and I do switch between concealers, but currently I need a bit more coverage and something to even out the redness so I've been using this one. I have already done a review of it here which includes much better photos and more detail!

| 4) MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural ~ Light | - £21

I have used this every day since I bought it, so for me it's definitely worth the £21 I paid for it. Once again I have done a full post on it here. I didn't get on with the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder so I am glad I have found a powder that works for me!

| 5) ELF Eyebrow Kit ~ Light | - £3.75

I have been using this eyebrow kit for around 6 months now and I haven't found anything else better! I just use the wax side which you can see from this post as I've hit pan quite badly. I don't do a lot to my eyebrows I just fill them in lightly, so this works perfectly for me and it's super cheap too.

| 6) Natural Collection Blush ~ Peach Melba | - £1.99

I have three out of the four Natural Collection blushes which are so affordable and so pigmented. Peach Melba is just a simple matte peach toned blush which would suit any skin tone.

| 7) 17 High Intense Liquid Eyeliner ~ Blackbest Black | - £3.99

I prefer wearing liquid eyeliner as for me it stays on longer than kohl eyeliners when I'm doing winged eyeliner. This is so easy to use and lasts the whole day I'm wearing it. I'd recommend this if you're starting out using liquid eyeliner and want something that glides on.

| 8) Soap and Glory Thick and Fast Mascara ~ Superjet Black | £10

I got this mascara free with Elle magazine last year but I've only just got around to using it. I curl my lashes first and then apply one coat of this and my lashes have so much more volume! I'd definitely re-purchase this once I've run out (although I do have a spare already from the Soap and Glory Best of All gift set from this Christmas).

| 9) Rimmel Kohl Eyeliner ~ Black | £2.99

This was one of the first eyeliners I ever tried when I first started wearing make up. It's so soft which makes applying it so quick and easy. I've been wearing this on my upper waterline to make my lashes look fuller. It's also so cheap at only £2.99!

| 10) Rimmel Scanal'Eyes Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner ~ Nude | - £3.99

This is a fairly recent purchase which I blogged about briefly here. I apply this to my bottom waterline just to brighten my eyes in the morning. I prefer using a nude eyeliner to a white one as it gives a more natural looking 'bright eye' rather than it being obvious you've applied eyeliner to brighten your eyes. As it's waterproof it's perfect for the waterline as well.

| 11) Revlon ColourBurst Lipgloss ~ Strawberry Fraise | £7.99

Finally I used the Revlon ColourBurst Lipgloss in Strawberry Fraise which I bought on a whim since it was on offer (the offer has since finished but Boots are always having offers so look out for them!). It's got a slight shimmer but not too much, and it isn't sticky at all which is why I love wearing it!
