Today I looked out my window after waking up at 11:00pm (oops!) and I saw that it was raining, and pretty hard too. On these sorts of days I don't bother as much with how I look, however I do still want to look presentable. Now, usually I would do this off camera but I thought I would give a go at filming a Get Ready With Me video, a rainy day edition, and that's exactly what I did.

I had so much fun filming and editing this video that I thought I would also do a blog post on it as I'm always searching for new blog post ideas.
All the products mentioned I purchased with my own money, this was not sponsored at all!

Natural Collection Press Powder

For a rainy day I just do a simple make up look, nothing to exaggerated so I decided to skip the foundation step and go straight to the concealer and powder. This powder I use all the time, I really like it, I've had it for quite a while now and it is the Natural Collection Press Powder, I will either use a brush, which I don't know the name of because it doesn't say, or I use a plain make up 'sponge'. It's usually the 'sponge'. I like this powder a lot because it makes me look slightly more awake, this and the concealer work wonders together.

Rimmel London Wake Me Up
Concealer

Speaking of the concealer, that is what I'm going to talk about next, although I used the concealer before I used the powder. This concealer is a recent purchase, in fact it is the first concealer that I have ever used, I don't know why I haven't used one before because it works amazingly for dark circles (and spots too). I can see this product staying in my collection for quite a long time, I have nothing bad to say about this, so far! It's still early days. It is the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer.

No 7 So Simple Eye Duo Eye Shadow

The next product that I used for this rainy day look is the No 7 So Simple Eye Duo Eye shadow. This is my go to eye shadow, although I swap it out for others sometimes you will mostly find me wearing this one. I used the brown colour but sometimes I put on the lighter shade and then the brown on top so the brown isn't too over top for a simple look. This time though I just used the brown.

Mac Eyeliner Pencil in Black

This eyeliner is amazing, it is pretty much the only one that I will use! I just love Mac eyeliners so much, as you can probably tell by the picture, the pencil is now tiny. I have used this eyeliner for as long as I can remember. I recommend this eyeliner to anyone, the only flaw is it doesn't stay on all day but I have found this with a lot of eyeliners anyway, it is very hard to find a pencil eyeliner that won't smudge and will stay on all day. Nonetheless I love this eyeliner even with the flaw. I only use this on the waterline as I don't really like pencil eyeliners on the top lid, I prefer to use a liquid or a gel eyeliner for that which I tend to wear a lot but not for a simple look like this.

Rimmel London Volume Flash
Scandaleyes Mascara

Another recent buy that has made it into my collection is the Rimmel London Volume Flash Scandaleyes Mascara. I have been through a lot of different mascara's in the years trying to find one that I like and will stick to, so far it is this one! That may change, I don't know yet but at the moment this is my current favourite. It's very hard to make my eyelashes look nice and to actually be able to notice them, I think this mascara has done a good job and making them look alright so far.

Maybelline New York Baby Lips
in Peach Kiss

The last product that I used for this look is the Maybelline New York Baby Lips in Peach Kiss, I have 3 baby lips at this current moment in time, and so far this one is my favourite. It's such a nice colour, not dramatic at all, in fact you can't notice it too much when it's on which you may think is a bad thing but in this case it's not as it's just a simple subtle look that I'm going for, not too fancy.

So that is all the products that I used for this rainy day look, leave me a comment telling me if you want more of these blog posts and videos.
