In this post I really wanted to share with you a make-up look that I have really been enjoying lately.
The star of this look is the Bobbi Brown Raw Sugar Shimmer Brick Eye Palette along with a few other bits from their recent Surf & Sand collection.
BASE
Personally I don't like to
change up my base products too much. I'm the type of girl that once I find
something that works I will tend to stick with it for a while- boring I know!
I converted to the Estée Lauder Double Wear range a few months ago which I am still loving and they work well on my skin type.
Below are the products I use everyday:
EYES
BOBBI BROWN RAW SUGAR SHIMMER BRICK EYE PALETTE
This look is all about the beautiful eyeshadow palette.
I bought this in May and finally decided to use it....sometimes I think that some make-up is just too pretty to use and I end up hoarding it in its pristine condition for months! haha
This was a limited edition palette which sold out straightaway on Bobbi Brown's site but I managed to get my hands on one from Harrods. As a lover of the Naked 3 palette from Urban Decay I knew that this was something that would float my boat as the colouring is similar.
The palette is an array of gorgeous shimmery neutral creams and browns which can be used everyday.

For this look I use the shadow palette along with the Urban Decay Primer Potion in the shade Sin, Laura Mercier's Caviar stick in Amethyst & Sephora's Jumbo Liner in 20 Beige Glitter.
The shimmery shade of the jumbo liner makes the eyes stand out and the Amethyst eye crayon adds definition to the bottom lash line.

WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON MY EYES:

| Top L-R: No eye make-up & right eye in progress Bottom L-R: Right eye finished & both eyes done up! |

I like to use one of the lighter shades over my whole lid and then define the crease with one of the darker browny shades.
The mascara I have on is my old favourite "They're real" from Benefit.
If anyone has a mascara that is better than this one please let me know! :)
BROWS
On my brows I have been using Too Faced "Bullet Proof Brows" in the shade universal brunette. This is a really long wearing gel formula that is waterproof....great for the sweaty weather we had for a few weeks but as I type this it is chucking it down!
I use it to add definition and fill in some sparse areas that I have. After I brush through some of Benefit's "Gimme Brow" to set everything in place.
CHEEKS & LIPS
The prefect partner for the Raw Sugar Shimmer Brick Eye Palette is the Bobbi Brown Brightening Blush in Bronze 1 from the Surf and Sand collection.
This gives me a lovely summery bronze complexion and I love the little strip of highlighter included.

To compliment all the shimmery browns, I have been reaching for Bobbi Brown's Sheer Lip Colour in Sunlit Pink. This is also from the Surf and Sand collection and one of my absolute faves.
I know that I keep going on about the Surf and sand collection but I must say that it has all kinds of amazing stuff in it! The lip colours in particular are divine! Click here for my thoughts on the collection.
