Beauty Re-Vamp for 2014 - Makeup

I've been using the same makeup for around 6 years. I had only ever really used Estee Lauder. My mum worked for them until the end of 2013 so it was all I had around me. Mum moved on to manage a Dior makeup counter, so I thought that if my mum could move on, so could I. Not necessarily to Dior, but just to move on to other makeup brands and try new things. I will never really be one to use drug store products, especially big things like foundation and concealer.

So I completely revamped my skincare and makeup regime for the better and have had some great results.

Skincare:

1. Clarins Water Comfort One-Step Cleanser
2. Clarins HydraQuench Cream
3. Clarins Tonic Body Treatment Oil
4. Estee Lauder Idealist Pore minimiser

This is the first time I have ever used Clarins products, and my skin has never felt better. These are the only 4 products I use. I have never really been one to use eye creams. Less is more when it comes to skin care.

1. The water cleanser is fantastic at removing any leftover makeup that I didn't get off the night before and leaves my skin radiant and ready for the next step.
2. I then use the Idealist pore minimiser. This was from my old routine, but I will never be able to stop using this product. It's just too good at what it does.
3. I then use the HydraQuench cream which moisturises deep into the skin, but creates a matt surface instead of an oily one. Perfect base for makeup.
4. I use the Body Tonic for stretch marks, scars and cellulite. It smells wonderful and really does make a difference to the appearance of these flaws, and overall helps to tone the skin. 

Makeup:

1. Diorskin Nude® - Natural Glow Radiant Foundation SPF15
2. Diorskin Nude® - Skin-Perfecting Hydrating Concealer
3. Benefit Coralista Blush
4. Bobbi Brown Long - Wear Gel Eyeliner
5. Vaseline Rosy Lips
6. Urban Decay Big Fatty Mascara

A completely new makeup routine. This is the makeup I wear every day. I try to keep it super simple daily, so that when I do go out, there's a big difference between how I look daily and how I look when I want to make an impact.
These products are all completely affordable. The only expensive items really are the Dior skin bits. However, where they are super good quality, you don't have to use much for full coverage, meaning it lasts longer!
The blush is great for a hint of colour, summer or winter. It compliments my skin tone perfectly and adds a teeny weeny bit of shimmer too!.
The gel eyeliner is applied best with an angled brush. It stays put and the colour is jet black. As long as you have a steady hand, its creates beautiful lines.
Vaseline with a rosy tint. Can't really add any more to that.
The mascara is okay, but I find it flakes a little by the end of a long day. I will keep an eye on this but at the moment, it looks pretty good.

I feel completely rejuvenated with my new makeup and skin care. One of the best things I done for 2014.
