make every day

Hello and welcome to The Mall Blackburn’s Make Every Day Beautiful magazine – a new publication, created to help us all feel a little bit special, every day.

However we feel, there is always a way to make life a little brighter - like giving ourselves a well deserved treat! So, in this first issue we’ve asked our retailers to reveal their tips and tricks on having a beautiful day.

All the products featured here can be found in The Mall, so if there is something you like, you’ll find it’s easy to find.

Personally, I love my Yves Saint Laurent Mascara from Debenhams because whether I have a full face of make up or a more natural look, my lashes always look clump free. It doesn’t smudge and my lashes look long and lush!

Enjoy the magazine – I particularly enjoyed model Sonia Yasmin Ali’s tips for creating a great new look on a budget – I’m sure you’ll find some tips and tricks that will help Make Every Day Beautiful for you.

Garnier Water from Superdrug 400ml RRP £4.99

I started off with the Maybelline Fit Me! Foundation (RRP £5.99 from Superdrug and Boots). This foundation is matte and poreless and for normal to oily skin. It gives that seamless look.

I then used an eyebrow pencil from MUA to pencil in my brow (£1 from Superdrug). This particular pencil is brilliant as it has a brush on the other end to finely comb through your brows giving a nice, even look.

My next step was with the Gosh Contour ‘n Strobe Kit in colour 002 Medium (RRP £12.99 from Superdrug). I think this was my best find overall throughout The Mall stores. The palette consists of two contour colours, a highlight and a blush.

In this look I used all four colours.

Doubling up on my eyebrow pencil I then used it as an eyeliner to put a soft line above the lashes.

To finish off the eyes, I used Rimmel Volume Colourist Mascara (RRP £7.99 from Boots and Superdrug). This Mascara is said to tint your lashes over time which is fabulous for the end of summer when your lashes can sometimes be a little lighter on the ends due to the sun.

This product has a wonderful wand and applies to the lashes beautifully.

To finish off my total look I used Sleek Matte Me Ultra Smooth Matte Lip Cream (RRP £4.99 from Boots and Superdrug) in the colour Velvet Slipper. I carefully applied this over the lips.

I spent only £32.96 to complete this look; it’s amazing what you can find inside The Mall!.

We all love discovering a new look for a night out, so we sent our

model Sonia Yasmin Ali out into The Mall on a mission to

create a beautiful evening look on a budget.
