September Favourites
September is quite naturally one of my favourite months of the year as its the month in which my birthday falls. I've been spoilt rotten this year as it was my 21st birthday and am truly grateful for all the amazing presents I received. But this is about the beauty products I've loved this month so here we go!
Kiko Haul and First Impressions
A couple of weeks ago I went shopping and popped into the Kiko shop and there were a couple of things that caught my eye.
August Favourites
August has been a month of wonderful un-british like weather, BBQs and time off from work for me! I hope you've all had a lovely month, and today I'm sharing with you the things that I've loved this throughout this month.
My new love of cleansing balms
For years I've been a fan of gel cleansers as they made my skin feel cool, refreshed and clean. I hadn't really tried other formulations of cleansers until recently. Although I love micellar waters and cleansing oils to take off my makeup I hadn't found something that could take off my makeup (even waterproof mascara) and cleanse my skin thoroughly.
Top 10 Coral Lip Products - Highstreet / Drugstore and High-end
In summer I'm automatically drawn to pinky coral lip shades so I thought I'd give you my pick-of-the-bunch. Here are my top 10 picks split up into the more affordable highstreet/drugstore options and the luxurious high-end options. They're in no particular order, they're all lovely. I've included a mix of lipsticks, lip glosses, lip crayons, lip butters and lip liners so there's something for everyone and at all levels of prices!
Empties: Haircare and Makeup
I've had a little blogging break recently but am fully back with it so here is a long overdue haircare and makeup instalment of my recent empties/products I've used up collection!
John Frieda Sheer Blonde Highlight Activating Shampoo and Conditioner
- I'm pretty sure that I've mentioned these products before in a blog post as I like to use them to keep my hair looking as blonde as possible especially after having it highlighted. But even on non-colour treated blondes these are two very lovely light moisturising shampoo and conditioners.
Would I repurchase? - Yes
L'Oreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss Light Conditioning Shine Spray
- Long time readers of my blog will know this is my all time favourite leave in conditioning spray for shiny, smooth, glossy looking hair. It's great as a detangled too! I currently have two back up bottles of this ready to crack out! I never like to be without them!
Would I repurchase? - YES in bulk!
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Light 1 Chantilly
- Over the past one to two years this has been my favourite full coverage 'perfect makeup' concealer. I cannot really fault it, it's long lasting, blends in seamlessly and comes in a great variety of colours and actually does one light enough for me to be able to highlight with it!
Would I repurchase? - Yes
Original Beauty Blender
- For years I've bought knock-off, or cheaper versions of the beauty blender however after purchasing the original I really do understand the hype. They expand more when dampened meaning they blend your makeup better and they don't soak up much makeup at all meaning they don't waste it!
Would I repurchase? - Already have!
Empties: June 2016 : Skincare
Here is the latest instalment of my ''Empties'' or ''Products I've Used Up'' blog post series where I save up all the beauty bits I've finished and summarise my thoughts of them.
Disappointing products
I usually talk about products I like and love but I think it's equally important to talk about those that I've tried and not liked or haven't worked well for me. These are my opinions and you may love these products and they may work well for you and thats great! Anyway, here are my thoughts on 5 products that have recently disappointed me.
Glowing Greek Goddess Makeup
Last weekend was my university summer ball which is fancy dress and my housemates and I decided to go as Greek Goddesses, I really liked how my makeup turned out so glowy and fresh, just how I pictured it! I curled my hair in random sections, wore it half up half down and wore a white dress with lots of gold accessories.
May Favourites
It's that time of month again where I sit down and chat to you about my favourite things throughout the month of May. This month has probably been my busiest month of the year so far, as I've had deadline after deadline and have been revising like crazy for my end of year exams at Uni, which will finally be over on Tuesday! It's safe to say I'm so excited to finish second year, celebrate with my friends and then move back home and start my new job! In fact excited doesn't even cover it.
Review: The Body Shop Shade Adjusting Drops
When summer rolls around whether you tan naturally (lucky you!) or like me you use a gradual tan to build a bit of colour and glow to your skin, you will more than likely have the problem of matching your foundation to the rest of your skin. So instead of buying each of your foundations in multiple colours The Body Shop has provided an affordable option to change the colour of your foundation to match your skin perfectly!
Top Tips for Long Lasting Makeup
Something that many people struggle with when it comes to makeup is how to make it last. Depending on products and skin type makeup will last differently on different people. Here are my top 4 tips to keep your makeup looking perfect for as long as possible.
Day-to-Night makeup look: champagne eye with nude lip to bronzey eye with red lip
On Wednesday I went out for lunch and then went out clubbing that night for my friends birthday so I wanted to have really nice makeup that could take me from my natural day look to a glam night out makeup look as I didn't have time to re-do all my makeup. I thought this would be quite useful for those of you making a quick transition from work, college or university to going out in the evening!
Epilating : First Impressions and Braun Silk-Epil 5 Review
For years shaving was my hair removal method of choice however I started to get frustrated with how often I had to shave my legs to keep them smooth and hair free. The smooth feeling never lasted more than a couple of days and the hair grew back thicker, making the whole problem worse. I'd heard that epilating gave better results in terms of removing smaller, finer hairs and keeping you smooth and hair free for much longer. I was lucky enough to be given the Braun Silk-Epil 5 (5780) Epilator for Christmas (blog post of what I got here) and to cut a long story short I haven't shaved my legs since!
Top 5 Travel Makeup Palettes
I am a big fan of makeup palettes, their so convenient as you have so many shadows or products all in one palette as opposed to having individual products. This means that they're great for travelling! I have my top 5 for you today!
Perfect Matte Lipstick Prep + DIY Lip Scrub'
Matte lipsticks are beginning to take over from glossy, shiny lip products and thats all well and good but what if you have uneven, dry, chapped lips but want to pull off a gorgeous matte bold lip ? You don't want it to look patchy, flakey or show all the fine lines in your lips, but all matte lips do that right?! Wrong! You can make any matte lipstick look so much better on your lips regardless of the formula in two quick and easy steps to help maintain gorgeous lips!
