Can we all take a moment to appreciate British spring/summer this year? So far so good, right? With all international travel out of the window, at least we can enjoy some sunshine at home. You won’t see me complaining but... Summer heat comes with its own skincare issues that need addressing. Here’s why I swap my rich creams and potions for gel moisturisers in summer.

Hello my Queens. Welcome back to new and improved (nah - why improve on perfection...LOL) Beauty Drama Queen. It’s been a while huh? I’ve been away from the blog but I'm trying to get back into the routine. Coming back with my favourite kind of post where we chat about all the beauty newness and damn, the industry has been busy. How to navigate through all the new bits and only grab the true cult beauty? Check out the absolute must-haves as tested by yours truly! Make some tea, pour yourself a glass of wine - no judgement here & let’s get into the new & noteworthy! 

ON MY FACE LATELY

New makeup on my face

It’s been notoriously quiet here on Beauty Drama Queen but life’s been busy. And the last week has been particularly sh*tty. A headache returned with vengeance and scared me shitless. It's been a while since I had to take time off and almost a week at that because of pain. Usually I just push through it but I think my body has finally given in and forced me to rest. I'm still operating at 40% so I'm glad to have some content pre-written. Other than last week, as always, I’ve been not so quietly testing a lot of new makeup and falling back in love with some older bits. Here’s the brand new ‘On my face lately’ and it’s a good one if I say so myself. Off we go then. 

WAKE UP TO GLOW

Overnight facial oils for dewy skin

Skincare can be simple, right? Says the girl using 100s of products, ironic much? But I truly believe in that statement so let me tell you how quickly transform your skin overnight, whatever your type. I’m not talking dark magic or selling your soul to the devil but simply facial oils with powers beyond anything you've experienced if you haven't discovered them yet. A good combination of skin-loving oils will take you from night to day. In just a few tiny drops gently patted on to your skin, you too can wake up to the healthy, clear & dewy skin. Magic? 

EASY PM SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR MAXIMUM GLOW

Glowing skin routine

Maintaining an effective skincare routine is a must. We lead such a busy life that often leaves us breathless at the end of the day. Finding products that work and won’t take away from your time at home, with family or maintaining an illusion of social life is super important. Lately, life’s been a little too busy and with anxiety hitting hard, I found myself simplifying my routine to ensure I still care for my skin even when I feel like everything slipping away. Welcome to busy girl/mom/workaholic/human evening routine that will leave your skin glowing the next day.
