Challenge : 10 in 10

Today's challenge was to complete my make up using only 10 products, and take only 10 minutes to do it. Sounds simple enough to most people but my mascara alone takes 10 minutes usually! The more time I have in the mornings, the longer I take to get ready. I find putting make up on to be quite therapeutic so I make the most of it, but really, I take an age to get ready! I don't know how many times I've told Mr Lollipop "I'll only be 10 minutes honey" and half an hour later he's pacing outside the bedroom with steam coming from his ears. Oops!

The 10 products I chose:

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation - 51 Vanilla

Benefit Erase Paste - No 2 Medium

MAC MSF Natural - Light 

Rimmel Eyebrow Pencil - the shade has rubbed off

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick - Galactic Mauve

YSL Golden Gloss - Golden Lavender

Diorshow Extase Mascara - Black

Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow - Tattle Tale

Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner - Baked

Sleek MakeUP Shimmer Blush - Sunrise

And the look:

I tried to choose products that gave maximum effect with minimum effort, so I chose to have my new favourite deeper lip combination, and keep my eyes quite simple with subtle bronze definition. I do quite like it, it's a tamer, less fussy version of my current everyday look anyway - the only difference is my eyes are usually a bit more golden/bronzed. In the picture where I'm looking down it's a little bit too pale and cream for what I'm used to - I like a more defined crease because of my hooded lids. I still think it's pretty though. I didn't blend my blush very well either - but hey, I was against the clock! Speaking of which, how did I do for time? 

Yeah I went over, but only by a few seconds so it still counts in my eyes... hehe.

Have a go! It's quite fun and it's nice to know that I can get ready in a rush if I wake up late or something. Or it could become my everyday look, which means more sleepy time. Everybody would be happy with that, I think!
