The bare minimum

I literally don’t have time to apply my makeup the way I’d like these days. I can’t remember the last time I wore eyeliner. Isn’t that crazy? Me of the permanently-attached-to-my-liner brigade.

Why? Oh you know, I have a two-year old. He’s not too fond of sleeping at the moment and so there are regular wakings which results in an exhausted mom and dad. I barely have the energy to dress myself and blow dry my hair at the moment so my makeup routine has taken a dive. But you know what? I’m sort of enjoying the minimalism.

It goes like this; cleanse, serum, brush hair, SPF/moisturiser, blow dry hair, eye cream, pin back hair, cream eyeshadow, bb cream, mascara, eyebrow pencil, concealer, cream blush, done. In total this takes about seven minutes. These few products perk me up no end, which is a good job really as I don’t have time to apply any others!

In other news, I uploaded a weekly vlog last night and I wore one of my new ASOS dresses out for shisha and drinks with the Laura’s. The dress has been officially declared a success; just to the knee, fitted around boob and back, lovely shape and very comfortable. It has a prom dress vibe to it but it’s very subtle. I haven’t had time to do an OOTD so you’ll just have to take my word for it for now ๐Ÿ™‚
