Another 'sorry I've been gone so long!' post!

Wow, the last few weeks sure have been a crazy time for me. First my laptop completely died on me. Then I had some work problems, which ended up in me leaving Benefit. I'm sad that I left, but I couldn't afford to work there anymore. Unfortunately, paying the bills had to come first, so I'm now full time at TGIFridays. I love it there, but it's a high energy job, which plays havoc with my ME. In between working hard shifts and recovering in time to do it all again the next day, I haven't had the time or energy for much else. These looks were mainly done whilst my laptop was broken. Interesting makeup looks have been rare recently. But I plan on getting back on track with things soon!

I can't remember all the products used for these looks, but I'll do my best to list the main ones.

In this look I was trying out Clinique's new Everlasting Foundation. It was too dark so I had to mix it with my Illamasqua foundation. However, it doesn't photograph well, hence why I look totally washed out in the first two photos where the flash was used. Apart from that, it's a fantastic full coverage foundation. It's been compared to Estee Lauder's Double Wear foundation, but I think this one is much better as it doesn't feel or look as heavy. Plus it smells like watermelon. If they did a couple of paler shades this would be my foundation of choice. I recomended that my housemate try it when her MAC foundation ran out, and she loves it too. In these photos it's set with MAC Prep + Prime Translucent Powder. And as for staying power, I worked a busy night where I was stuck in the kitchen for most of my shift, and there was still some foundation left to take off at the end of the night!
