My favourite things to do on a Sunday

Sundays are one of my favourite days of the week because it is the only morning I get to have a lie in and I love spending time with family and friends. But they are also bitter sweet because it means the weekend is nearly over and its back to school the next day. I have a list of things that I like to do on a Sunday

Watch films- I especially love watching musicals or classics that I can watch with my family.

Bake- I love baking cakes but don't always have time during the week, so on a Sunday I like to make time in the afternoon to bake.

Writing blog posts- during the week I am usually bombed down with lots of school work and music practise so don't always find lots of time during the week to write posts. Sunday mornings are my favourite time to sit down and write.

Browsing online stores- I can get lost in the depths of online stores like New Look or Asos and can have a basket full of 20 things that I don't buy but just enjoy lusting after.

Binge watch my current TV show- After finishing PLL I felt a bit sad so started a new series on Netflix called Silk. It is a British TV show about lawyers and barristers and, as well as being quite an eye opener to the world of law, the plot and story line is really interesting.

Catching up on blogs- there are some blogs that I read daily (ViviannaDoesMakeup, LilyPebbles and FromRoses) but often my bloglovin feed won't get a look at until Sunday evening. Also after the #bbloggers chat on Sunday night, I usually have a nice list of blogs to read!

Taking my time in the morning- most mornings I have to rush doing my hair and makeup and will throw on either my school uniform or whatever I can grab quickly. But on a Sunday morning I like to take advantage of being able to take my time doing my makeup and putting an outfit together without having to watch the clock.

Spending quality family time- this is probably the most important thing about Sundays and I look forward to having a family lunch together and doing things with my family.

Everyday Makeup Routine

I can't remember if I have ever done an everyday makeup routine post before but I realised I have been wearing the same products every single day and just reaching for them without thinking. I decided to show you in a post as I have been lacking blog inspiration recently (hence the lack of posts... sorry!).

 

I have been wearing the same base every single day which is the L'Oreal True Match Foundation as it is a perfect match for my skin and I just find the formula lasts all day on my face. If you read my March Favourites you will know that I recently ran out of my beloved Collection Lasting perfection concealer so I started using the Benefit Fake Up concealer. I really like this concealer as it has an outer layer of moisturiser around the concealer stick which means that my under eyes never look dry or cakey. For blush I always use the Sleek Rose Gold blush as it works so well with my complexion and makes me look nice and healthy. When it comes to eyes most days I have been keeping it simple with a sweep of Maybellines Colour Tattoo in On and On bronze and a thin black line of my L'Oreal Superliner. To complete my eyes I have been wearing Benefits Roller Lash which is my current go to mascara as I find it adds so much length and separation to my lashes and makes them look amazing. Finally to finish my makeup look I apply the Rosy Lips Vaseline as I usually can't be bothered with the maintenance of keeping up with a lipstick colour and recently my lips have been so dry so a moisturising product has been in need.

March Favourites 2015

This month has been quite a busy month and last week I was really well so haven't really worn a lot of makeup due to being ill. When I have worn makeup I have been just been reaching for things that I can trust and apply without even thinking about. Also I have a book favourite this month as well which is exciting as I don't really talk about books much on my blog!

BENEFIT FAKE UP CONCEALER// Recently I finished up my beloved collection lasting perfection concealer and without a back up in my stash I started using the Benefit Fake Up concealer. The concealer it's self matches my foundation colour but I prefer my concealers to be lighter than my foundation and therefore more brightening. But it is the formula of this concealer that I am head over heals for: there is a stick of concealer but around the concealer there is an outer tube of moisturiser. As a result this product is really hydrating under the eyes and means they look more away!

BENEFIT ROLLER LASH MASCARA// Without a doubt this is the only mascara I have used for about two months and that is why it has been featured on my blog several times. Usually I prefer volumising mascaras but this has converted me to lengthening formulas. One coat of mascara gives me really long and separated lashes; even thought it gives me incredibly long lashes they are still really wearable during the day. As I write this it is 8:30pm and my lashes have not dropped or smudged since the beginning of the day. It is definitely my favourite mascara at the moment !

 

MAYEBLLINE COLOUR TATTOO IN ON AND ON BRONZE// Yet again this is in another one of my monthly favourites because it is just the best cream eye shadow. This month I have reached for it so much because most mornings when I am in a rush I haven't got time to be thinking about eyeshadow combinations. My favourite way to wear this is blended out with my finger on my lids and then either a thin line of liquid liner or a thin line of brown pencil,

 

ESSIE NAIL POLISH IN SAND TROPEZ// Like with my on and on bronze colour tattoo and my roller lash mascara, I have been wearing Essie's Sand Tropez nail polish all month because I don't have to think about it when I am wearing it. Sand Tropez is a creamy light taupe colour that looks very sophisticated on the nails and my I love how put together my nails look when I wear this. If you want to read more about this polish I did a review here.

 

IF I STAY BY GAYLE FORMAN// When this film came out I went to watch it and loved it so much. As a result I decided to read the book ( normally I read the books first but didn't this time!) and so far I am enjoying it. Obviously I know what happeneds in the end but it is written in a really clever way and would recommend it if you want a girly chick flick to read. Let me know if you would like to read a most on my top book recommendations.
