Makeup Monday: Glowing Skin & Smokey Eyes!

Hello all! I had to share this look with you today as i fell in love with the eyes and lips! This lip colour  has been a favourite of mine ever since i first got it and it lasts for ages on the lips too. It's such a gorgeous bright pink but it has a dusky twist so it's not too in your face. Definitely a favourite of mine, a slick of lipgloss on top looks pretty too!

I've been loving dewy skin a lot recently but having really oily skin doesn't make it easy - i look more grease ball than glowing goddess. This combination (YSL & Laura Mercier) gave me the perfect glow for the first few hours but by end of the night had melted off my face :( It's such a shame as i really wanted to like the new YSL foundation but it only lasts around 3/4 hours on me before i look a mess /: The No7 Skin Illuminator is gorgeous golden highlighter that adds a glow and lasts all day/night! 

I have found the perfect dewy, base for oily skin though so keep an eye out for that ;)

What do you think? Do you prefer more of a dewy look? 
What products do you like to give you a glow?
