Easy routine.

Hello everybody, Clodagh here.
And guess what?
I'm swapped.
Proper piled in with the amount of stuff I have going on at the moment.
Don't get me wrong, I'm loving it. It's making me be organised, because, before this, let me be clear-my organising skills went as far as event organising and party planning.
Organising my life? Not so much.
But between moving house at the end of the month, this blog, the Youtube Channel, my new fitness routine (more to come, if you're interested!), school- which the only way that can be summed up at the minute is 'hell with loads of coursework on top'- and trying to keep a social life and organising said parties- I've got my hands full.
So I've had to establish a no fuss get me out the door in 15 minutes look. Have no fear, friends. Your quick and easy buddy is here.
Right, we'll divide this up and make this easy, shall we? There will be three categories, and the first is:
MAKEUP-

This is the section that'll probably take the most amount of time.

If you're like me, you're still going to want your full coverage, but for it to look naturally. For this I recommend my tried and tested friend of 2013, Revlon Nearly Naked.

This foundation was a life saver last year during exam time. After having next to no sleep and not wanting to scare everyone in the morning, This foundation was slapped on with my hands, blended in and I was done, looking more refreshed but not cakey. (It was totally not purchased because I saw Emma Stone advertising it. Nope.) Now, you're going to want a powder that will last all day if you're busy! I recommend the Maybelline 'FIT me' powder.


The next item is for if you have a little bit more time and want to put in a bit more effort. This is an easy swipe all over the lid colour, that's naturally enough to get away with by itself. IF you're feeling extra fancy, try using it with MAC Patina in the crease! My friends, I introduce- MAC 'All that Glitters'.


Then its buddy, 'Patina'!


With our eyes almost done, it's time to widen those babies up, especially if you're up early! (Or earlier than you feel you should be. Which is to say-every school day.) I just use a pair of eyelash curlers from Boots, if it does the job, what difference does it make from Shu Uemera?

To finish the widening of our eyes, I like to use lashings (pun intended) of Maybelline 'The Falsies.' Somehow, while lengthening your lashes to the hilt and making them look super fab, a natural look can still be achieved. What is this sorcery?
Now, to add a pop of colour to the face but you can still put it on while on the go! My pick would be Maybelline Babylips in 'Cherry Me.'

HAIR-
For those get out of the house quickly days, I find the easiest option is to just throw your hair up. Boring, I know, and a sin for a beauty guru to say. BUT- Just because it's up doesn't mean it has to be boring! Here are three options I love!
OPTION ONE- Messy bun with a bow under it.

OPTION TWO- High ponytail with a bow on top. (Yup, it's Stilababe09.)

OPTION THREE- High pony with a ribbon. Cheerleader style. (I must say, I do feel peppy while wearing it.)

OUTFIT- When in doubt, I find leggings and any long shirt is a good way to go. Plaid or denim looks especially laid back and comfy yet cute, especially if paired with converses or motorcycle boots. If it's cold, pair it with a cosy scarf, some gloves and a jacket!


Well, this was my easy routine! What's yours?
Peace, love and cupcakes,
Clodagh x
