I love a nude lip, who doesn't? paired with a smoky eye it's just perfection. It's one of my favourite make-up looks to wear on a night out. I think I have found the ultimate nude lip combo. It's a gorgeous combination of neutral and pink tones so you won't get that washed out look. You can wear this lip day or night.
Too Faced Lip Injection Color Bomb in the shade Never Nude Enough is a moisture plumping lip tint that leaves lips with a natural shine. Estee Lauder Automatic Lip Pencil in Fig creates a seamless liner that works beautifully when drawn just outside the lip line, creating fuller lips. Nars lipgloss in Belize is a darker nude shade with flecks of purple and gold that help give it stunning dimension.
What is your go to nude lip? I'm obsessed let me know!

Hello beautiful people I hope the week is treating you well. January be gone I say! What better way to cheer up than reading a makeup post?! I have always loved the nude makeup look in fact its one of my favourite looks to wear but adding some metallic shades takes it to a whole new level of sexy. **oo la la** Try smoldering gunmetal eyelids with peachy soft lips against a luminous complexion. There are endless combinations to try out. Here is my look with all the products I used below.
Hello lovelies how are you today? I wanted to share with you some lovely pressies I got for Christmas and a few bits that I picked up from Sephora while I was in the States. I am like a kid in a sweet shop I just want to play with everything and pretty much buy everything too! So for Christmas and Birthdays my sister and I make lists of things we would like so our parents and eachother can pick and choose. So, my lovely lil sis got me the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in the shade Vanilla which I am obsessed with and a Nars lip gloss in the colour Belize. I adore this ever since I saw Louise from Made In Chelsea wear it. Its a nude mauve with golden flecks, stunning! Then from my Mummy dearest I got the Estee Lauder Automatic Duo Lip Pencil in the shade Fig ( Jennifer Anistons fav pencil didn't ya know) yes that's exactly why I wanted it. It really is the perfect shade of nude. Next was my Estee Lauder Double Wear Eye Pencil in the shade Coffee. This is the most richest shade of brown you will ever find, doesn't budge. Great alternative to black. From my lovely boyfriend I got a Prada L'eau gift set which came with a mini body lotion and a gorge cosmetic pouch.
While in Las Vegas my sister and I visited Sephora literally
everyday! I picked up some long overdue coveted items- Josie Maran Argan Illuminser: the most amazing highlighter, glow giver I have ever used. Too Faced Lip Injection Color Bomb in Never Enough Nude: have been desperate for this ever since I saw Vanessa Bombshell Suite talk about it in one of her videos. Plumps my lips up something amazing! Gives a lovely satin finish too. Loving! Next up BareMinerals Original SPF 15 Foundation in the shade Light. Me and sissy normally wear Matte but she picked up the Original by mistake, it looks so gorgeous on her I just had to have it too.
Last but not least I was pottering in around in CVS and saw Wet N Wild Reserve Your Cabana as I have heard so many superb things about it I had to get it , naturally. This is a really nice toned down highlight, great for work or setting under eye concealer.
So there you have it. No more shopping for this girl! Project shop my stash has begun! Who's with me?!
please watch my video below to see these beauties in action.
Thank you all so much for stopping by I love interacting with you so please do leave me a lovely comment :) BlondeTeaParty x

Winter is upon us and its only going to get colder brrrrrrr! Now is the time to really bump up your skincare to really nourish your skin from head to toe. Our poor faces take the brunt of the cold ( unless you re wearing a balaclava) going from warm and cosy central heating to icy cold winds is going to play havoc on your skin. It's important to change up your skincare to suit your current needs. I'm super oily most of the year, but as soon as winter hits, my face and body dry up like a prune. I switch my daily fluid moisturiser for oily skin to a richer cream for dry skin. My cleanser stays the same as its perfect all year round! ( yes ofcourse its Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish) After my night-time cleansing I like to add a face oil for extra comfort and repair. My favourite is Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate this is fab for all skin types, contains 100% pure plant oils to re balance skin while you sleep. This really plumps up skin making it feel supple and fresh. This smells amazing and helps me relax before bed.
For my body, especially my legs, I have been using Nivea Rescue & Care 48h body lotion. This calms my itchy,dry skin making it feel smooth and nourished. It's not greasy or gloopy, it absorbs instantly into my skin. This is very good if you've just shaved your legs! No stinging! It is fragrance free too.
My lips are the worst at this time of year, they get so dry and cracked. Aquaphor Lip Repair is the only lip treatment that actually soothes my lips. I only need to use this twice a day it's that good! Other lip balms work temporarily but this actually improves the condition of my lips. I can not be with out it!
What products do you like to use in the winter months?
Hello lovelies! Happy Friday!! Hope you have all had a splendid week. I sure have as I have been off from work, yahoo! I thought I would share with you my Friday face. I have really been enjoying trying out lots of different tones of brown all over the eyelid, paired with warm cheeks and copper lips. What have you been trying out lately or have you been sticking to ye ol faithful?
This week has given me a chance to play with my makeup and try out some different looks.

Hello beauty babes! So I thought I would keep you up to date with my everyday makeup look for work and how I like to get ready in the morning.
As if getting up early isn't hard enough it's cold and dark too now! There is nothing more excruciating for me than my alarm going off at 6am and having to get out of my warm, snug bed! I hate getting up early, no I really hate it! First things first I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth whilst in my mind cursing the ungodly hour. I then put the TV on so I can watch 90210 while I have my breakfast, I find this eases me into life again and calms me down, plus I like looking at the makeup the girls wear!
I put the kettle on and my porridge in the microwave, I curse the ungodly hour. Now I check the time on the TV, at 6:45 nearing 6:50 as I'm already engrossed in 90210, I head to my room to do my makeup and get dressed. I have to be out the door by 7:25 to get the 7:34 train. Once I start on my makeup, time goes out the window, I don't check my clock at all! I find doing my makeup such an enjoyable, soothing ritual. I do the same look everyday bar my lips. I like to look fresh and awake, so pink blush, no eyeliner, curled lashes and lots of black mascara! This look is quick, easy and appropriate for a corporate work environment.
Here is what I use starting from my skincare:
Bare Minerals Purifying Facial Cleanser
Bare Minerals Multi-Wrinkle Repair Serum
Rachel K CC Cream in Neutral
Foundation Estee Lauder DoubleWear in Dawn 2w1
Concealer Collection 2000 in medium 3
Nivea Lip Butter in Caramel Cream
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in 001
Bourjois Chocolate Bronzing Powder
Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzer in Antigua
Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Power in my socket line to define eye
Mascara Maybelline One by One
Lips NYX Xtreme Lip Cream in Nude Peach Fuzz
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray
Hello lovelies, happy Monday!! I have just filmed my April favourites.
I would love to know what are some of your favourites this month.
Products mentioned:
Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel
Lancome Visionaire
Garnier BB Miracle Skin Perfector Eye Roll On Light
OPI Nail Envy
BodyShop Almond Oil Cuticle Pen
BareMinerals Lipstick Bellini
Mac Eyeliner Teddy
Happy Monday everyone!! So today I thought I would try out my Rachel K CC cream in neutral. I have been giving this a go on weekends.
This is a Mineral Color Control Blemish Balm 10 in 1 CC Cream.
EGF-Epidermal Growth Factor
SPF 35 PA++
Moisturizing / Whitening
Nourishing / Anti-Wrinkle
Collagen-Enriched / Non-Comedogenic
Smudge-Proof / Water-Proof
CC Cream is a much more refined version of the BB Cream combining many more benefits all in one. It enhances your complexion by improving the texture and balancing skin tone.
I find this has alot more coverage and lasting power than a BB Cream.
whilst applying, it magically transforms into a velvety soft finish. Leaving skin matte but fresh at the same time. Mineral make-up is amazing over this!
There are three shades, Fair, Neutral and Sunkissed.
This was inspired by Rachel Kum, who is an aspiring entrepreneur and a beauty pageant titleholder who won the Miss Singapore Universe 2009 title. Now every single brand is coming out with a CC Cream! Amazing how thing catch on, or become popular.
So far I have been enjoying it, I went for a pub lunch yesterday and basked in the lovely sunshine, not an ounce of oil came through! Very impressive as I'm an oily beast.
See how I apply it in my FOTD video below
