Just that really.

Just had a baby and I am planning on stepping it up a little so I don’t look so haggard all the time! Today I bought some new makeup as a treat and to inspire me in my efforts. I bought:

Hourglass Ambient Lighting lush in Dim Fusion
Bobbie Brown Long Wear Cream Shadow Stick
Chanel Illusion D’ombre in New Moon
Urban Decay Naked palette in Basics
Burberry Lip Glow Balm in Pink Azalea
Maybelline the colossal volum’ express
Benefit The Pore fessional -
Maybelline BaybyLips in Cherry Me

I need to buy a new foundation (thinking Chanel vitalumiere aqua) but I need to finish up the one I am currently using first (YSL).

Also planning on doing my nails more often - normally I just do a coat of OPI Start to finish clear polish and I colour on my toes (normally a red or grey). I find my nails hard to keep up and I hate the look of chipped polish on fingers so I rarely use colour on them but today I bought:
Essie: Chinchilly
Barry M: Mushroom
Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy: No colour name on bottle but its a light pink.

I have quite a lot of makeup, so what I use daily changes very often.

Lately, I have been using this the most:

Foundation: Diorskin Nude or Estee Lauder Double Wear Light
Powder: Guerlain Meteorites, Nars Translucent Crystal loose powder. For touch-ups either Chanel Les Beiges or Mac Select Sheer Pressed.
Eyeshadow: Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour (I bought a set with 6 colours and they are brilliant. The only colour I'm not using much is the khaki one), Mac Paint Pot in Indianwood or Chanel Illusion d'Ombre in Emerveille. Tightlining with Mac Mystery.
Mascara: Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Lengthening Mascara in black.
Blusher: Inglot, Chanel or Mac - I match the colour of blusher to my lip colour to tie everything together.
Lipstick: Dior Baume in 688 Diorette, Guerlain Rouge G in 820 Rouge Parade, Laura Mercier Creme Smooth Lip Colour in Pink Pout, Inglot Lip Pencil in 21 (it's a really nice matte red) or Tom Ford Black Orchid.
Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Lightscapade as highlighter.
