OOTD: Suitable for Grandparents.

Heya! So, technically an outfit of yesterday but I didn't get back till fairly late last night and I've spent today in a tracksuit (I was working!) so don't have an OOTD from today (Does that make sense...sorry for the ramble!) I know it's really short but it was a bit caught up on the belt in this picture but I didn't realise till after taking the photos! It's actually a couple of inches longer and a bit more suitable for visiting the grandparents! So here it is...

Roshi Dress (available from MissGuided)
Jack Wills Cashmere Cardigan
Topshop wedges (below) - really old but very practical!

Sorry for weird posing!!

& A face of the day...

Again sorry for horrible posing. This was a mirror picture (yes I know) and I hate staring at the camera when doing these kind of pictures because I look like I'm giving a death stare! Not a great look...

Anyway I used...

Dandelion Blusher - Benefit
Wild Curls Mascara - 17
Clinique Superbalanced foundation (Alabaster)
Boing Concealer - Benefit
Eye Bright - Benefit
It stick - Benefit
Rimmel Summer Angel lipstick
Crushed Walnut Eyeshadow - Natural Collection
and a random peach eyeshadow from an H&M kit. Only peach colour I could find!

Also. I'm getting so many freckles at the moment! They seem to focus on my nose though...argh!

Also my Nana saw my leopard print nails. She said she thought they were interesting (in other words she hated them!) haha!

Lots of Love, Millie xxx

Can't Live Without: Benefit Dandelion Blush

I thought I'd continue the 'Can't Live Without' trend by doing a post of my own!

One of the essentials in my make up bag is Dandelion by Benefit. It's a pale pink powder which comes in a beautiful box (which Includes a great mini blusher brush).


As you can see, I have 2. One of them has nearly run out though so I keep that in my car for make-up emergencies! Isn't the packaging so pretty?

Benefit say: 'Dandelion. Finely spun with delicate mauves and pinks, this exquisite brightening face powder leaves a petal like finish'

It's a very delicate pink colour which looks great on people with pale skin like mine. The brush is the perfect size and holds just the right amount of powder.

The result? A very light pink blush that lasts all day.

Benefit Dandelion
Benefit Boi-ing
17 Wild Curls Mascara
Dior Crayon Eyeliner

(edit: Sorry for the horribly posy picture, I'm literally the most unphotogenic person ever! and sorry for the overgrown fringe. It's normally straight across but my hairdresses couldn't fit me in till the 21st of August so It's going to keep getting longer and more annoying for a while!)

I've been using this powder for over 2 years now and I haven't found anything I've liked more! I tend to find cremes to thick on my skin and stains tend to be a bit too pink/red! I like that it looks like quite a natural blush, and the brush that comes with it makes it almost impossible to overload on it!

At £23.50 it's got quite a hefty price tag, however you do get an awful lot of it. It took me nearly 18 months of daily usage to run out of one box (That's like 0.053p a day!)

Which blushes would you recommend? What products can you 'not live without'?

Love Millie xxx
