Hello people of the universe!
I know! Everybody and their dog is doing this at the moment. But I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and do a 'Back to School Makeup Tutorial'. Don't mind me! Just being original!
For the benefit of you people-of-the-school-time (and my pocket!) I have tried to keep everything from the drugstore. (Well, as much as I can!)

1. Aveeno Moisturising Cream!
Moisturising. Not the most exciting of things, I've got to admit.
But seriously, I love this! It sinks into my skin, doesn't break me out or leave my skin feeling oily. If you have sensitive skin, I would highly recommend using this.
It stops my 'fake face' (i.e. concealer and foundation) from creasing. (Not sure if that's the right word or not!) and is definitely one of the best moisturisers I've ever tried!

2. Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer
If there was a battle between my two favourite concealers, it would be the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer Vs. Collection Lasting Perfection! However, after much deliberation (posh word!) and a round of eni-meni-mymi-mo - Literally, no idea how to spell that! - there was a winner! The Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer is perfect for school because of it's anti-fatigue effect! I've been there: watching YouTube till the crack of 1:30am! It is great for under eye circles cause by late night YouTube fests and finishing books at 3 in the morn'! It's not the best concealer for covering blemishes, but for that I use the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer.
3. Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation
Oh jolly gosh! (English joy!) I flippin' love this foundation! It smells like suncream! You have no idea how happy that makes me! It is great for the price (£8.99) and with it's tiny sparkles makes you look nice and awake for school! (Sparkles!) I only use this in places that I think I need coverage, (Nose and cheeks) don't feel like you have to smother your face in foundation!
4. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder
This product does exactly what it says on the tin. It helps keep you from 'shining bright like a diamond' and also helps your makeup stay put throughout the day! It is nothing special but it does the job well. Oh, and it's really cheap! Always a plus.
5. Clinique Strawberry Fudge Eyeshadow Duo.
I only use this when I'm going all out! This is not a daily occurrence. But when I do have a bit of time on my hands, I spread the pink shade all over my lid. (up to the crease) Ain't nobody got time to put the darker shade in their crease! That special effort is reserved for weddings and Christmas. Only!
6. Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara!
I have raved about this product so many times it's crazy! I love the length and separation (sounds like my lashes got a divorce!) this gives my eyelashes. I'm not a big fan of Maybelline The Falsies, I find it makes my lashes very voluminous and kinda clumpy. Not a great look for school! I am also a fan of the bulky packaging, not really sure why?!
7. To top everything off... Baby Lips!
So many people love these and rightly so! They are moisturising, make my lips glossy and they taste really nice. (Believe me! I've tried.)
They are £2.99 in Boots and Superdrug, which is great because they last for-absolutely-ever! They also come in different colours!
I. Need. Then. All.

I hope you enjoyed reading through that! It means so much to me that you read my blog posts, you are awesome! For some reason iMove hates me and has deleted my Weekly Vlog #2 twice now! Don't worry, it's coming soon!
