My work morning routine can vary, depending on what time I start that day. I set my alarm for around 5:45 and hit snooze a couple of times before I decide that it's time to drag myself from my bed - I do love my bed, and my sleep. I pull on some gym clothes, head to the bathroom to lightly wash my face with some water, and then brush my teeth using my electric toothbrush. Sometimes I have breakfast before we leave, sometimes I don't - depends on my mood.
I head to the gym at about 6:30 and work out for 30-40 minutes - it's usually cardio, but if I'm feeling more awake sometimes I'll do some squats or jumps, or head to a couple of my favourite machines - seated row, and leg press. I shower and get ready at the gym - the showers there are very powerful and really hot too which I love! At the minute I've got the Zoella Foaming Shower Gel in my gym bag, and when it comes to washing my hair - I like to do that at home. I've been using a light spray of the La Roche Posay Serozinc after rinsing my face again in the shower, and finishing off with a light coating of Benefit's Total Moisture which smells incredible.
I tend to give my hair a quick brush - I use an Invisibobble to put my hair up to avoid any bumps in case I want to wear it down, and then brush with a detangling brush as my hair is very thick and prone to knots. If I do decide to straighten it, I'll do it at home before bed to save time in the mornings.
The most time consuming part of getting ready for work in the morning is doing my make up - sometimes I'll do my base and brows at the gym and finish my eyes at work. I've been priming using the Freedom Makeup Priming Water - I love to use a lightweight primer, and with high levels of Glycerin this works amazingly. I then use a Beauty Blender to apply Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation in the shade I'm So Money Honey, I then use a little amount of Boiing Concealer in the shade 1 - I never usually set with a powder as I prefer a dewy finish to my base. I always always bronze with Hoola, and apply Rockateur to my cheeks - this is my favourite blusher, I prefer a more subtle blusher but sometimes I'll use Coralista for a brighter pop of colour.
I've been using the new Benefit Brow Collection - I love the Browvo Conditioning Primer, it really helps to nourish the eyebrows and help them appear thicker, healthier and fuller but also primes them and allows your brow makeup to sit for longer. I've then been using the Ka-Brow! This is hands down my favourite product from the new collection - its a cream gel pomade with a built in brush and it's so easy to apply - it also lasts for 24 hours which is amazing! I then set them in place with the trusty Gimme Brow which gives a natural volume to the brow.
I then use the Hoola Bronzer with a fluffy brush through my crease and then apply the They're Real Push Up Liner along my upper lashline - sometimes with a wing, sometimes without - a girls got to change it up - and then generous coatings of the They're Real Mascara in Black - I don't often wear lip colour to work - but I've recently fallen in love with Posie Balm and Cha Cha Balm for a light colour and hydration for the day.
Sort out my bag - lunch and a book for the bus journey, and I'm on my way!
As you may have guessed - my make up for work consists of all Benefit - I haven't been able to fully explore all of the products on my skin yet but I'm sure I can start to slowly review a lot of their products as I build my collection! All I can definitely say is that I'm loving the new Brow Collection.. watch this space!
