BED TO DOOR IN 20 MINUTES: MY HEAD TO TOE MORNING ROUTINE


We all get days like this. You’ve overslept and got few minutes to catch a bus/train/get in your car. Your beauty routine doesn’t have to be compromised. Inspired by recent events 20 minutes head to toe routine includes a shower, taking care of my pearly whites (and that morning breath!), little hair, little makeup and even a body moisturiser. Magic? Definitely with these few tips & incredible cult beauty finds!

BDQ TURNS 3 YRS OLD: WIN A DRAWER FULL OF MAKEUP WORTH OVER £150

Beauty Drama Queen turns 3 years old giveaway

A few days ago Beauty Drama Queen turned 3 years old and it made me a bit tearful. I started as a socially awkward makeup nerd and I don’t feel that changed one bit. It’s been a journey of self-discovery, meeting incredible women along the way helped me grow as a person, as a friend and as a blogger. 3 years is a long time yet it feels as if it was yesterday. I’ve met so many inspiring people, built relationships with many incredible brands and grew to be the person I am now. I was almost 30 when I started this journey, way too old to be dabbling in makeup, yet you all welcomed me to your world, to your hearts and I couldn’t be more proud that something I only dreamed of became a reality.

WHAT’S IN MY BAG: SPRING BEAUTY UPDATE

Spring makeup bag

Spring has seen me not only shed clothes (not like that you dirty mins you.... ok maybe a little like that lol) but also replacing my massive winter bag with a cross body. Smaller bag means my makeup bag needed some serious update, but I’m super happy with the end result as it covers all the bases. Fancy knowing what beauty items I don’t leave the house without? Then please read on.

SELF-CARE EDIT: THE ART OF SWITCHING OFF

How to self-care

I’ve often spoken about what beauty means to me. From the beginning it’s been that one thing that kept me alive & happy. Recently I’ve been so on and off, I thought I owe you a bit of explanation & at the same time talk to you about the importance of self-care and what it means to me.

I TRIED THESE 3 NEW MASCARAS SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO

Smudge-proof mascaras for every budget

I rarely talk about mascaras because I rarely find anything that works on my silly eyes. I don’t know what it is, but everything smudges on me. Finding one that doesn’t is practically a miracle so when I found three that leave me almost smudge-free after 8+ hours, I want to shout about them from the rooftops. Oh and there’s one to fit every budget. Are you ready?

WOKE UP LIKE THIS: NO MAKEUP MAKEUP WITH L'ORÉAL

L'Oréal Woke Up Like This

L’Oreal never fails to impress and their new collection celebrates the natural beauty & a little cheeky ‘I wake up like this’ motto. The formulas are light, yet perfectly fitting for spring/summer with peachy tones, on point highlighters & even a little bb cream to give your skin the tiniest bit of coverage. I’ve been opting for easy morning routine lately, so this collection ticks all the boxes!
