Good morning guys and happy birthday to meee! So I'm super thankful that the weather has turned out nice today as yesterday it strongly reminded me of something I'd expect in December. I had to head into town to go to the bank and do a *spot* of shopping and being an idiot forgot to take an umbrella. Well, you can imagine how that one turned out! So when I awoke this morning to sunshine and warmth I just about squealed with relief and happiness. My sister is at school today but as soon as she returns I'm hoping to have a little photoshoot in the garden so I can show you guys my outfit, because I'm in love with it.

Anyway, for today's post I just wanted to share with you all my makeup look for today's festivities. I'm going to do a proper Celebrate With Me post which should be up tomorrow, but in the meantime, enjoy! X

I wanted to go for something that was quite subtle and pretty, with the focus being on the lips. Now I'm usually a manly high end makeup girl, so I surprised even myself with the amount of drugstore products in this post! But I have to admit that Maybelline lipsticks are so pigmented and moisturising so if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to Charlotte Tilbury for example, I'd definitely suggest making a quick trip down to Boots. The colour that I'm wearing - Coral Tonic - is an absolute stunning shade of bright orange pink. Personally, I adore these kind of shades when I'm a little bit tan, so with summer coming up, you can imagine they may very well become a daily occurrence!
With the eye look, I decided to go very soft and natural. The main base colour is a mixture of blush pink and white and I've lined my upper lash line with a delicate periwinkle blue. There's just something about warm weather and sunshine that makes me want to explore colour more within my makeup looks.
