EVERYDAY MAKEUP DIARIES

Everyday makeup edit

I decided to start showing you my everyday makeup more regularly. It’s well overdo and I change my morning routine a lot so you’ll get to see it evolve every week/couple of weeks or whenever the mood strikes! We’ll start with some faves from couple of weeks ago because this bad blogger took some pics then forgotten all about it! It’s a great mixture and features some of my holy grail makeup as well as some newish additions! Are you ready to explore the crazy world of my morning makeup routine?

WORTH THE HYPE? TOO FACED CHOCOLATE GOLD REVIEW WITH SWATCHES

Is Too Faced Chocolate Gold palette worth the hype?


If anyone asks what my favourite eyeshadow formula is, I always answer without thinking. Too Faced ‘chocolate’ palettes aren’t just good, they are simply the best for anyone whose eyes aren’t as fresh as the lids of a 20-something babe. From the packaging to the something else formula that gives life to any lid, even mature. When Too Faced Chocolate Gold* arrived, I couldn’t believe my eyes! I was mesmerised by jewel tones and not so secretly sniffing the chocolate scent! Call me an addict, but I’d lick my own lids if it was as at all possible. Fancy a sniff? Then read on to get all the deets about the new palette!

I don’t always follow trends but carefully pick ones that suit me & daily sparkle has been just that. I’d like to introduce you to their cult Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadows because we all need a little of that sparkle, coincidentally the biggest trend of Spring/Summer ‘18!

STRIPPED BACK MORNING ROUTINE FOR DEHYDRATED SKIN + WIN BIG WITH CULT BEAUTY!

Updated skincare routine to combat redness

Winter hasn’t been kind to my skin. Redness caused by dehydration and increased sensitivity has been a nightmare so I decided to take a step back, re-assess my skincare & make few changes to soothe my often angered skin. Today I've teamed up with Cult Beauty (somebody pinch me please!)  #ThisIsSkin campaign. It’s a #SkincareMonth in their London office & together we hope to bring awareness of real skin problems and how we can fix them by simply making few changes in our daily routines. I slowly introduced the products into my routine and so far, I’m super pleased with the results. If you’d like to know more, there are few amazing products I’d like to introduce you to! There’s also a competition you should know about, so please stay with me!

Another week or so, another foundation review. Thank you to all of you for such great feedback following from my first post in the series, I'll link it in the footer if you haven't seen it yet.

I've tested a brand new Tarte Shape Tape Hydrating Foundation in Porcelain for just over a week and I'm happy to pass on my findings to you. Does it live up to my holy grail concealer? Time will tell.

WHAT HAPPENED WHEN I TRIED VERSO 5-STEP SKIN CARE FOR A MONTH

Verso 5-step skin care regime


Falling in love with your skin again should be on everyone’s list of priorities. I’m not necessarily talking about the usual stuff like youthful glow or hydration. I want to make sure my skin looks and feels happy and healthy. Be gone dehydration, dryness and ultra-sensitivity causing me pain. First signs of ageing are a b**ch, as I’m sure all my 30+ readers agree. You notice little changes at first, maybe it’s your foundation settling into fine/smile lines at the end of the day, or perhaps a line or two on your forehead and around the eyes. It’s scary to first look into the mirror and see you don’t look 20 anymore! Thankfully with incredible skincare routine, you can nip that in a bud or even reverse the process a little. Has Verso skincare done all that it promises? Following on the success of the similar post about affordable genius skincare by Lacura, I thought you may enjoy learning what happened to my skin when I used Verso exclusively for 30 days.

Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer vs Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define

It's been a while since I've done a little Splurge or Save post. It feels like I was waiting for this one to happen, truly!

Is it a true dupe? Let's find out!

BEAUTY ON A BUDGET #2

Budget makeup & skincare

Hey budget beauty, I see what you've done here. I may not always show it but I try and find you guys the best out of both worlds. The luxury formula doesn't always mean spending £££s and today's the day to appreciate that. We're taking it back to drugstore/high street and it's going to be GREAT. Are you ready?

COSY WINTER PAMPER


I’m all about that cosy feeling. Winter time is usually pretty gloomy here in the UK. In the last couple of months, we survived a bit of frost, snow and a lot of winds and rain. I really like coming back home after a day in the office, putting a candle on & enjoying a bit of a pamper. If you fancy seeing what’s been on agenda lately, check out my beauty picks!
