St Patrick's Day GRWM (Get Ready With Me)

Hello lovelies, I have decided to do something a little bit different today! This could be a complete fail or it could be okay, but as you can tell by the title I am doing a St Patrick's Day GRWM. I thought this would be a nice change of scenery, and if it goes horribly wrong please tell me lol. I usually see these in YouTube videos, I'm not sure if you can do a blog Get Ready With Me, but I might as well try. Agh, enough with the long intro let's get into it.

I just want to point out that I am no makeup artist (I can barley put it on) so if I do something differently to you, I'm sorry. I just do what I feel works.

Makeup: 

If you want to see how I from yuck to half decent keep on reading!



MOISTURIZER: 

I use this to mouisturise my skin! I use this after I have washed my face!
I personally really like this, if you have oily skin I feel like you won't like this at all
because it is very oily and dewy, which is why I love it. 

PRIMER:
I use this to prime my skin! This is a tester I got from Clinique, it is so so good!
I only use this for special occasions! It is the Clinque Super Universal Skin Primer.
I love the feeling of it on the skin! And I definitely feel like it makes my makeup
last longer!

FOUNDATION:
Real Techniques Buffing Brush

I got this foundation as a Christmas Present. This is the Clinique Supermoisture Hydration Foundation.
I only wear this for special occasions! I really really like this, mine is in the shade 04 Ivory.
Which is a little bit too dark, but it's not too bad! 
If you have dry skin this is literally heaven! It feels so luxurious and healthy on the skin, it doesn't
feel like other foundations where you can feel the damage it's doing to your skin,
I even forget that it is there! AND it lasts all day! Such a bonus!

The secomd picture looks very weird I'm sorry, I just wanted to show how dewy it was! I don't have 
a highlight on here!

CONCEALER: 


These are the Rimmel London Wake Me Up & Rimmel London Match Perfection concealers. 
I really love these! I use the Wake Me Up for under my eyes as a coverage for the 
bags under my eyes. I use the Match Perfection for a highlight down my nose, cheek bones and 
brow bones! Then I just use it to cover up any blemishes! It is my favorite concealer!
I then just blend this in with The Real Techniques Contour Brush. This photo is cringe but ugh.

EYEBROWS:
This is the W7 Brow Parlour. I actually really like this. Since I have already really
dark eyebrows I don't really need any more darkness, but unfortunately I have some bald patches that need 
covering as much as possible. I use the bottom left dark shade and it works wonders.
I use the top left for a wax to hold my brow in place and then I use the 
top right for a brow bone highlight.

POWDER:
This is the NO7 Light Pressed Powder, I love this. I just put this 
all over my face just to hold my makeup in place. 

BRONZER:
This is the Rimmel London Sun Bronze 022. I attempt to bronze and contour with this
it doesn't really show up on my skin but its the thought that counts! It is really nice when I know how 
to actually use it. It's very natural and lovely! It actually makes my cheekbones visible. 


EYESHADOW:
I would just like to point out that I did aim to do a festive green smokey eye, but I'm not that talented in the makeup area. Especially with such bright colors. So I just opted for my usual with a bit of a difference.
I prime my eyes with this Catrice Prime And Fine 
I have recently been using this Scandaleyes shadow stick! I have mine in the shade
Bulletproof Beige! It is so natural! I have a swatch below! I love this concept! It is so easy to use.



Over the Eye Shadow Pencil, I used the first shade of the Storm Palette. This is my favourite eyeshadow 
palette ever! It's so creamy and lasts all day. 
In the crease of my eye I used the top colour here in the W7 Shades Of Brown. 
This is the finished result! I didn't wear any eyeliner because I can't wing it. Also my 
eyebrows are in a dire need of a wax. I went in with a little bit of mascara after this which was of course Maybelline Lash Sensational. I forgot to take a picture of it. 

FINISHED RESULT: 
This was the finished result. I added some of Rimmel London Kate Moss Nude Lipstick Shade 43.


Hair: 

If you know me personally you will probably know that I am the laziest person ever when it comes to hair. Thankfully, I am lucky to have a personal hairdresser aka my twin. She literally does everything with my hair. So I slept with my hair in a plait so it would look relatively curly. 

My sister did my hair in this nice bun! I really liked it!
Ps please excuse the current and prominent state of my bedroom ugh. 



Clothes:

Top: Because I don't own many green tops, I had to buy one. This top is a khaki crop top from H&M I love it so much!
Jeans: These jeans are from River Island! Unfortunately they are really big for me and look a little bit ridicilous but regardless I still like them alot. 
Cardigan:My cardigan is from Hollister. This practically comes everywhere with me, I should probably get a new one soon..
Handbag: My handbag is from River Island again, I really like it because it is small but not too small! Is it not also the cutest thing you have ever seen?!
Shoes: I don't think the shoes go that well with the outfit, but oh well. These are Nike something shoes, I don't really know! I like them they're comfortable and kinda nice. 
Necklace: I got this as a present, so I'm really not sure where it is from. I love it so frickin much. 




That in a nutshell is practically everything I did to get ready today! I hope you enjoyed the read, and I hope it wasn't too long and boring! I hope whether you celebrated St Patrick's Day or not, that you had a great day! My day was lovely and relaxed and I spent it with lovely people! 

 I just thought I would end this blog on a happy/silly note!

Lots of Love,
