Monday's Most Used


Spring is finally here! The weathers still a bit wet, but on the whole its looking up!
With this change in weather comes a change of products too.

First I start with my Stila one step color correct serum, as this evens out my complexion and illuminates my skin slightly giving my make up a good base to start. This gets rid of any redness I may have.
I haven't been using foundation much as I don't find I need to after using the Stila serum, so I go straight to cheeks, I've been loving the color 'Seductive Pink' by Maxfactor in their creme puff range and Bourjois blush in amber rose. I've been applying these colors to the apples of my cheeks with my Duo Fiber powder brush by Real Techniques. Both blushers are heavily pigmented and I find this to be the perfect brush to lightly add a dash of pink, 
The make up looks really fresh and pretty and I also like to layer both blushers to add some depth to the look.
I've also been enjoying the Maybelline Brow Drama sculpting mascara to add some colour and definition to my brows to make them look slightly bolder, and less haywire,
I then finish off the look with a Maybelline color drama lipstick pencil in the color Fuschia Pink. This is such a bright, colorful pink that it really draws them out. I love the color and the finish of these lipsticks and they're so easy to apply!

I've been loving my Salvatore Ferragamo 'Signorina' perfume. This is a grown up, floral scent with some sweet notes of panacotta and pink pepper to lift it up. Its a really light, refreshing scent which reminds me of my birthday month - May.

What have you been wearing this week to celebrate Spring with?

Spring Base: Stila One Step Color Correcting Serum

I suffer from red pigmentation on my face all year round. However it's particularly bad after the winter season as the cold wind and warmth from the radiators creates red patches on my face. 
I also suffer from quite large pores on my chin and nose and am always on the look out for a product that can tackle these struggles!
Whilst having a little mooch around Boots the other day I noticed they had a Stila selection. I've always seen and heard great things about Stila products but had never witnessed them in person to try!

I saw the One Step Color Correcting Serum and thought it was worth investigating!
It has a beautiful display of colors swirled through the serum. each color has a specific tone to counteract a certain color on your skin.
The Green tone instantly neutralizes redness and conceals blemishes.
The Lavender tone counteracts sallow undertones for a vibrant, energized look.
The Peach tone brightens, illuminates and helps diminish the appearance of sun spots.

The Serum itself claims to balance out the skin and correct uneven skin tone. As well as creating a smooth surface on the skin, as what a primer would do. As well as claiming to lessen your foundation use.
I've been giving this serum a trail run and so far so good. I haven't noticed a huge difference in my skin; but it's always under quite harsh elements so I'll never expect miracles.
What I do love about this product is the way my skin looks after I've put it on. It feels refreshed and has a glow-from-within look to it. It also makes my make up bases look better and stay on better too.
I want to try their Stila Step one Illuminate serum too and convertible blushers. Know that I know Stila is easily available from a Boots close by i certainly will take the plunge!

Do you have any recommendations?
