Summer FOTD

I don’t even remember the last time I did an FOTD! This is kinda boring but it gives me a great opportunity to show you my absolute favourite new summer lip combo :D and I’m slowly weaning myself off of liquid/felt tip liner on my upper lashline for the summer because it just looks too heavy in the hot weather I think, I still feel a bit naked without it though!

Lips
Illamasqua Obey lipstick
Illamasqua Soul sheer lipgloss

I LOVE this lip combo. Browsing the Illamasqua counter with some fellow bloggers on Friday, I’d almost decided on picking up Brink lipstick but Lu (MakeupLoveer) told me I needed Obey in my life. It looked a little bit scarily peachy for my cool skintone but I loved the swatch… I bought it and had a quiet sense of dread for the rest of the afternoon that I wasn’t going to like it, but I whacked it on that evening and I LOVED IT. Soul tones down the brightness just a touch and gives it a gorgeous shimmer. Such a summery lip – what’s not to love! Looks amazing with very minimal eye makeup, or a sheer golden tone on the lids with a nicely bronzed cheek, and also looks fab with a dark smokey eye! Actually in love.

What lip combos are you loving for summer?

    Very fresh faced. The lip shade makes a nice change from all the pink hues i’ve seen people blogging about. Suits you.

    It looks likely, I’m a big fan of the Coralista blush, I used it for my wedding day make up and it just gives such a lovely glow. xx

    Yeah that mascara is properly weird smelling. Apparently it has fruit waxes or something in it so I think that’s what it is!

    @Milly: Thank you! Yesss you NEED Obey, it’s amazing!

    @Lola: Thanks :) yeah they’re long, but they REFUSE to hold a curl which is very annoying!

    @Lucy: Thank you :)

    @Laura: Thanks much! I’m actually not normally a massive lover of pinks, I prefer something a bit more peachy or coral!

    @Jen: Yes, definitely lovely :)

    @Cameron: Daww sweet! I love Coralista too, it’s gotta be my all time favourite blush – best £22.50 I ever spent on a makeup product!

    @RaeRae: Haha after I read your comment I read my little press release thing for it and apparently it contains Fairtrade marula oil, I guess that’s where the smell comes from?

    @Georgie: Daww, thank you! :)

    @Katie: Thanks! Yknow, I often wish I had brown eyes but I’m grateful for the blue when I whack out my peaches and corals :D

    @Lu: Thank yoouu! <3
