EVERYDAY MAKEUP | NOVEMBER EDITION

Hello everyone! For a while i had been reaching for the same products over and over, which i had mentioned in my previous everyday makeup post but i thought why not switch out a couple of things and i actually found myself reaching for some old favourites again, as well as some new ones...

| NARS all day luminous weightless foundation |

First up for foundation is an old favourite and still a favourite now, after picking up another bottle recently. What i have always loved about this foundation is that the coverage is full yet still natural and feels like nothing on the skin, as well as lasting all day long (which for me is always a must). The finish of this foundation is definitely more of the natural-luminous finish.

| revolution conceal and define concealer |

| bareMinerals invisible light translucent powder duo |

I first used this concealer constantly when it first launched as i loved it, then i discovered the my perfect colour concealer from Primark which i loved even more. That being said i have had to go back to this concealer as i am completely out of my back-ups and i can't find the concealer anywhere anymore in the Primark's local to me, so i don't know if it has been discontinued or if it is simply out of stock. That being said this concealer is simply as beautiful, lightweight and has great coverage. Then all i do is set both my foundation/concealer in place with my trusty bareMinerals powder duo, which keeps everything in place all day long and no need for touch-ups.

| anastasia beverly hills dipbrow pomade | 

| mac cosmetics pro longwear waterproof brow set |

So i have gone back to doing my brows the regular way, using a pomade over using the revolution brow tint and even though using the brow tint saves time, in the long run i found i was having to reach for something for touch-ups more and more. Of course i had to reach for my all time favourite by Anastasia Beverly Hills, along side my favourite tinted brow gel by MAC.

| ZOEVA matte eyeshadow palette |

On an everyday basis i like to keep my eye makeup super simple and quick to do, so i tend to just reach for one shade that i can simply pop on and blend out. Sometimes i will just reach for the bronzer that i am using but sometimes i will reach for a shade from a palette, like at the moment i am loving using the shade Eerily Empty which is the most beautiful neutral warm camel matte shade from the Zoeva matte eyeshadow palette. 

| ps pro hd mascara |

So another thing i have been doing on an everyday basis is simply just applying mascara to my top lashes, rather to both top and bottom as it looks a lot more natural and significantly reduces the risk of getting any transfer on your under-eye area. I am also still loving this mascara from Primark, which is such a bargain for a mascara at just £3 and especially because i actually like it better than the majority of the high-end mascaras i have tried in the past.

| laura geller baked gelato swirl illuminator |

No matter what the season is for me personally, i love a good golden/bronze highlighter and for me Gilded Honey is one of those that is always at the top of my favourites list. The pigmentation/texture of this highlighter is simply beautiful, as it is a super fine, yet smooth and easy to blend leaving you with this stunning gold highlight to the skin. 

| bareMinerals warmth all-over face colour |

I mentioned this product first in my previous everyday makeup post, as i had been really loving using it as an everyday eye colour. That being said now i have been using it for its "actual" purpose, which is as an all over face colour and for me this shade is perfect as a bronzer for me. The way that this mineral powder just blends out effortlessly and naturally, just leaving you with a bronzed look and some dimension to the face is just simply beautiful. I am not 100% sure if i love reaching for it as much as a pressed powdered bronzer, like my favourite invisible bronze bronzer also by bareMinerals but it is a close second.

| mac cosmetics lip pencil in the shade spice |

| mac cosmetics matte lipstick in the shade kinda sexy |

Finally for lips i have been switching between two different nude looks, one super light and the other more of a deep nude perfect for autumn/winter. When i just want to quick throw a lipstick on i have been reaching for KKW by Charlotte Tilbury a lot, as it is one of my favourite nudes and it is super comfortable to wear. For the darker more autumnal nude lip look, i have been loving pairing Spice lip liner and Kinda Sexy lipstick both by MAC together, as you get this beautiful neutral yet warm darker nude look when paired together. Sometimes i will just use the Kinda Sexy lipstick worn alone, which is when i want something in-between.

BEAUTY FAVOURITES | FEBRUARY

Hello everyone and welcome to the final post for the month of February! In my previous post i talked all about my more lifestyle favourites from the month, so i thought for today's instalment i would share the beauty products i have been loving this month. It is true what they say that even though February is only a few days shorter, it does make all the difference therefor i don't have a huge amount of new products to chat about...

johnson's makeup be gone moisturising face wipes

The first one is actually a fairly boring one, as it is just face wipes but that being said i finally tried a different type of face wipe other than the Nivea exfoliating wipes. The reason for this being is i was totally out of my stash, so i picked these up in Tesco as they don't stock the Nivea ones. I actually didn't expect to like them but i really do, i have tried a different pack from Johnson's before but these are so much better because they remove all service makeup quickly and leaves your skin feeling super hydrated. I always like to use a makeup wipe, before going in with my cleanser. 

zoeva matte eyeshadow palette

So i actually first tried this eyeshadow palette out a couple of months ago, as i got it as a gift for Christmas after lusting over it for a while because let's face it the shades in this palette are me. That being said i haven't been reaching for eyeshadow all that often, especially day to day as i will usually just use some bronzer for quick. On the days/night that i did make more of an effort though, i have been reaching and loving using this palette. The shadows are pigmented, easy to blend and apply evenly which is why i always recommend Zoeva palettes to people and they aren't going to break the bank either.

mua amplify statement lash black mascara 

I actually first mentioned this mascara that i have been reaching for a lot recently in my quick, easy + affordable weekend no makeup, makeup look post and in that post i mentioned how much of a creature of habit i am when it comes to mascara, yet this one completely took me by surprise. I love so many products from MUA but i have never tried their mascara's and seeing as it was only £3, i didn't expect anything from it but it does everything to my lashes, lengthens, leaves a voluminous finish and doesn't apply clumpy or transfer.  

mac cosmetics lip liner pencil in the shade spice, nip+fab makeup matte liquid lipstick in the shade biscuit +

 morphe liquid lipstick in the shade sweets

Finally we have my favourite lip combination of the month and is one i have pretty much been wearing non stop. I actually mentioned how much i loved the way Spice lip liner looks paired with a lot of different nude lip products applied on top but especially the Nip+Fab liquid lipstick in the shade Biscuit, in my recent go-to brown/nude lip liners post. This combination is just the perfect warm/brown-beige nude lip with a matte finish. That being said if i am feeling something slightly more pinkish-toned nude then i will go in with Sweets liquid lipstick from Morphe, which was from their holiday collection.

See you in March (Spring is finally on its way yay)!!!

MAKEUP BRUSH COLLECTION | DE-CLUTTER + NEW BRUSHES | PART TWO

Hello everyone! A couple of weeks back i shared the first installment of my makeup brush collection, de-clutter + new brushes, which was talking all things face brushes. For today's post i am back with part two to this post, this time sharing all of my current/new eye brushes and also all of the different sponges that are in my collection.

real techniques filtered face set

I thought i would kick things off with the new brushes in my collection and the eye brushes from the bargain set i picked up earlier this month. The brush set includes four face brushes (which i shared in part one), tools and four eye/detail brushes. The eye brushes are the domed shadow brush, duo-fiber eye brush, shading brush and lip brush. If you can still get your hands on one of these sets i highly recommend them, as the brushes are amazing quality, last for so long and for £40 instead of £80 you can't really go wrong!

morphe y23 pro angle liner brush + morphe y21 flat definer brush

Next up is the two brushes i use religiously to do my brows every single day, i use the Y23 brush to fill in my brows if i am using a brow pomade or powder and then the Y21 brush to clean up my brows with concealer as it is the perfect shape. I am still yet to try the normal brushes by Morphe but i highly recommend the ones from this particular Y range, as they are really great quality and are quite in-expensive at just under £5 per brush. 

zoeva 317 wing liner brush

So i actually have two of the same 317 brushes by Zoeva and for a very good reason, one i like to use to apply either shadow or eyeliner to my lash line and the other i use to apply brow-dye on my eyebrows. I just love how easy this brush picks up product, you get an even application and the brush itself isn't too hard or too soft it is the perfect in-between to give you complete control.

ps pro concealer brush

This particular brush from the pro range at Primark is super handy to keep in my brush collection, just in-case i need to apply/mix concealer with. I have tried a couple of different tools from the PS pro range which i have really liked, including the powder brush i shared in part one. The only thing i really didn't like was the pro version of the beauty blender, as i found even when it was damp it was still too firm and not easy to work with.

amazon eye pro ten piece set (similar link)

The brushes that i actually de-cluttered the most of was a ton of the brushes i had accumulated from Amazon, which are great for a while but unlike some more expensive brushes they don't last as long but for under £3 for ten brushes you can't really complain. The brush i am obsessed with from this particular set is this fluffy eye blender brush and i use it pretty much every single day, as it is super quick and easy to apply/blend out one colour and i just wish i could buy a bunch of them individually. 

amazon zoeva rose gold brush set dupe

Another handful of brushes from Amazon that i actually kept from my de-clutter, were these Zoeva rose gold dupe brushes as just like the other blender brushes above. They are great for everyday use, whether that be for packing on colour/pigment, blending or applying shadow to the lower lash-line and it is always good to keep a few spare back-ups for those moments when you need a clean brush.

real techniques miracle complexion sponge (duo pack linked)

So this is the particular tool that i reach for every single day without fail, as i just prefer to apply/blend out my foundation,concealer and liquid highlighter with one of these. As i replace these every couple of months, i always like to keep back-ups in-stock and i mainly pick them up whilst on offer. Just before Christmas i picked up two duo packs, as they were buy one get one half off so i am stocked up for a while now. 

real techniques miracle sculpting sponge

This particular sponge i am still yet to give a go, as it was one of the tools i got in the filtered face set. Unlike the normal miracle complexion sponge, this sponge has six different sides to achieve your look, two flat edges to apply with, two rounded sides to blend and two tapered edges for precision application. 

real techniques miracle mini eraser sponge

Finally we have the final tool of the post and that is the cutest little sponges i have ever seen, also ones that come in handy from time to time. The whole idea of these sponges is that they are perfect for correcting mistakes such as mascara under the eyes or too much product that has been applied, i also like to use little sponges like this to blend out any creasing that might have occurred under my eyes. Primark also used to do mini versions of these sponges, that i used to love but i haven't seen any in my local stores recently.

2017 BEAUTY FAVOURITES

Hello everyone! This past year i have tried so many different products, some i have loved and some i have not loved so much, with that in mind and now that we are into a new year i thought it would be the perfect time to share a selection of my favourite beauty products from the whole of 2017.

mac pro longwear lip pencil in the shade oh honey!

I have used this lip liner so much ever since i first picked it up earlier in the year, so much so it is pretty much a tiny stump now ha ha. It is one of those nude lip liners that will go with pretty much any other nude that you pair it with. I also love this pro longwear formula even more than the original formula, as it is so much more creamy in texture and obviously lasts longer on the lips.

bareMinerals gen nude buttercream lip gloss in the shade far out

Just like the lip liner this is pretty much my most used lip gloss for the same reason as the lip liner, as it is one of those toppers that goes with any nude. These gen nude lip glosses from bareMinerals come in such a wide range of different nudes but this one by far is my favourite, as it is the most perfect pink/beige nude with golden shimmer through-out it.

dose of colors bake browns eyeshadow palette

When it comes down to eyeshadows and palettes i always opt for the warm neutral brown-ish shades, which won't come as a shock (just like a nude lip it is my thing/go-to) and out of all the eyeshadows and palettes i have bought and used this year, this palette by far is my favourite. I use two particular shades on a daily basis (deserted and outdoorsy), i even did a full first impression and review post all about this palette which you can catch up on here if you haven't done so already.

nuxe huile prodigieuse multi-usage dry oil

This particular product from NUXE has been one of those that i have wanted to try for the longest time, but never got around to and then a few months a go i finally did. Ever since then i have never looked back, in fact it has ended up being my favourite skincare product from the whole year. This particular oil is another product that i have a full first impressions/review post on, which you can catch up on here.

zoeva the basic moment blush palette

I have mentioned these little travel friendly blush palettes by Zoeva on so many occasions, as they are some of my favourite palettes and this particular one is my new favourite from 2017. The bronzer/contour shade is the perfect tone as it is not too cool or too warm, the blush is a subtle light pink shade but the show stopper of the palette is the fine-milled golden shimmery highlighter and is one i reach for on a regular basis.

bareMinerals invisible bronze medium bronzing powder 

Sticking with the something i reach for on a regular basis, in fact i think i have used this bronzer every day since i finally got my hands on one. I had wanted the medium shade for so long and it was always out of stock, but it was well worth the wait and doesn't disappoint. The bronzer applies flawlessly and lasts all day long. 

barry m liquid chrome highlighter

2017 for me was the year that i really got into trying/using liquid highlighters, as before then i was too scared (along side liquid or cream bronzers). That being said ever since getting over that initial fear, i became obsessed and out of all of the ones i have tried this one from barryM has to be my favourite and you can find out why in my full review/first impression post here.

Happy New Year Everyone!

WHAT MAKEUP I WORE ON CHRISTMAS DAY

Hello everyone, i hope you all had a lovely Christmas! For today's post i thought i would do a little spin on a "face of the day" or an everyday monthly makeup post and share with you all the makeup that i wore on Christmas day. I don't know about you but i love to make an effort on Christmas day and i always tend to go with something sparkly/glowing yet still simple-ish. Don't forget you can click on the product name/shade to shop.

maybelline x gigi west coast strobing liquid gold

I have been loving using this along side an MUA luxe strobe cream as a primer.

milani conceal + perfect 2-in-1 foundation/concealer

Ever since picking this up again on Black Friday, i haven't been able to put it down.

maybelline fit me concealer

This is one of my all time favourite concealers and it never fails me, great coverage.

laura mercier translucent loose setting powder

Probably my favourite powder of the year, i just love how flawless it is.

anastasia beverly hills dipbrow pomade

Another product that never lets me down and is always a go to of mine.

mac x nutcracker loose pigment

Pigments are so quick yet they look like you have put a ton of effort in, this one from last years holiday collection is my favourite and looks stunning with a bit of bronzer through the crease too.

kiko 30 day lash treatment mascara + red cherry #523 lashes

Seeing as it was Christmas day i decided to opt with some lashes too, just for some extra drama and these red cherry lashes are simply beautiful and super in expensive.

zoeva graphic eyes rock n roll bride eyeliner pencil

I always opt for brown/bronze eyeliner pencils over black now, i like how it is subtle.

makeup revolution liquid highlighter

I love how natural looking these liquid highlighters look but they also make a great base.

mac x snowball happy go dazzling glare powder

Seeing as it is Christmas, i couldn't of not gone in with my limited edition highlight.

bareMinerals invisible bronze medium bronzer

This is my favourite bronzer of all day and i use it every single day anyway, obsessed.

ofra apricot blush

I go in and out of phases with using blush but this is a recent favourite that i picked up during Black Friday, which goes with every single makeup look you do.

maybelline x gigi east coast mccall lip liner pencil

This is one of my current favourite lip liners, as it is super creamy/hydrating.

anastasia beverly hills naked liquid lipstick

Choosing a lipstick was the hardest part but i decided to go with this one, as it went perfectly with the lip liner/look and it also lasts for such a long time, perfect for eating/drinking.

Stay tuned for Friday's blog post, talking all things 2017!

WHAT'S ON MY BEAUTY CHRISTMAS WISHLIST

Hello everyone! With Christmas Day only being one week away, i thought it was about time that i shared what has been written on my beauty Christmas wishlist to Santa this year. Obviously now that i am older i don't post a letter off to the North Pole, instead i tend to drop "subtle" hints on what i would like instead.

1. | jouer cosmetics powder highlight trio gift set | £35 |

If you have read quite a few of my posts then first of all you will know how obsessed with highlighters i am, second of all you will know the shade Topaz from Jouer is one of my favourites. That being said mine is actually broken so it now proves difficult to use it, so i would love to get my hands on this trio of the highlighters this Christmas as i would not only have a new Topaz but also the other two shades from the range.

2. | bobbi brown luxe lip colour lipstick | £27 |

If anyone is stuck on what to get me for Christmas, the safe option is a lipstick and more specifically a nude lipstick and i am obsessed with how beautiful and perfect this new Bobbi Brown luxe lip colour lipstick is, from being the perfect nude/pink shade to its equally beautiful packaging.

3. | zoeva matte eyeshadow palette | £18 |

When it comes to eyeshadows i am all about the warm tones and the warm neutrals to be more specific. so when i spotted this new eyeshadow palette from Zoeva i instantly fell in love and it is perfect as recently i am obsessed with a warm matte eye look.

4. | zoeva aristo blush palette | £13 |

I have mentioned several of these little trio "blush" palettes from Zoeva, as they are some of my favourite things out of my whole collection. The quality/formula of the powders are simply beautiful and not to mention super easy to travel with, as they are so compact. The thing that attracts me to this new one the most, is the highlight shade as it looks stunning!

5. | bareMinerals gold obsession chandelight glow illuminator | £32 |

Talking of highlighters and yet another one that i am lusting over, is one from bareMinerals which is a brand i have become obsessed with this year and i use their bronzer every single day. This is such an amazing gift to give/receive as it is not only boxed beautifully but it is also limited edition for Christmas time only.

6. | gucci bloom eau de parfum | £52-£99 |

Who doesn't love to receive perfume for Christmas/Birthday's? because i know i do, as perfume can be expensive and who wants to spend that themselves right? I actually have my eye on a couple of perfumes that i love the scent of, this new one by Gucci is one of them (i love the fresh scent and packaging) and i also love the lancome la vie est belle too.

7. | ghd white platinum styler | £165 |

Finally we have something on my wishlist that should probably be at the top, as it is the thing i am most desperate for and that is a new pair of straighteners. I have honestly had mine for so long now and i can tell they are on their way out now, so that makes me desperate as i can't live without one. I have always used GHD ones, as they just work the best with my hair. Even though it is the most expensive gift on the wishlist, it is the thing that would get the most use.

Catch up on last week's blog post instalments...

GO-TO PALETTES FOR SUMMER

Hello everyone! Over the past couple of weeks i have shared a couple of summer related posts from a summer style wishlist, a best of beauty:coconut, as well as a handful of "my go-to products" posts. So for today's post i thought why not combine the two together and share with you some of my go-to palettes for summer, from cheek and face palettes to eyeshadow palettes, as i haven't done a palette post in quite some time.

nip+fab blush palette in the shade 01 blushed

Kicking things off with a blush palette from Nip+Fab, which is brand who's new makeup range i am loving right now from what i have tried, including a liquid lipstick in the shade tart that i blogged about here recently. If you have read quite a few of my posts then you will probably know that i haven't always been a blush person, but now i am a total convert and i am a sucker for a palette. The formula of these blushes are like nothing i have ever felt before from a blush, they are super silky smooth almost suede-like, highly pigmented (so a little goes a long way) and has a mixture of shades from soft pinks, light peachy/coral shades and some deeper almost plum toned shades. This palette retails for £8.95 from Superdrug or the Nip+Fab website.

zoeva cosmetics basic moment blush palette

Sticking with the blush palette theme but this time a face palette from Zoeva, which happens to be one of my favourite brand for blushes and i own so many different palettes and some individual ones also. This particular palette is a new go-to/favourite of mine, as it was only just recently released along side an eyeshadow palette which i also own. The formula of the Zoeva blushes/face products are so lightweight yet pigmented, they blend so effortlessly and i am literally obsessed with the blush shade called yet to come, as it is the most stunning pastel pink-y shade perfect for any look this summer time. The highlight shade called liquid clock is also stunning, not to mention glow-y with its finely milled texture. This palette retails for £13 from BeautyBay or Cult Beauty. 

too faced sweet peach eyeshadow palette

This eyeshadow palette along side another palette in this post, was probably my most reached for palette last summer and it will be this summer also. I mentioned this particular palette in my recent updated go-to crease/transition shadows post, as well as quite a few other posts. I think this palette is one of those that i will never get bored of reaching for, which makes me happy that they made it a permanent line as at the time it was a limited edition item. The shadows in this palette are incredible just like every other Too Faced eyeshadow palette, the pigmentation, the shade range and the easy to blend quality. I also love how amazing these palettes smell, this one smells like pure peaches (hence it's name) and the chocolate bar palettes smell like...you guessed it chocolate! This palette retails for £39 from Selfridges and Debenhams.

mac cosmetics warm neutrals eyeshadow palette

This particular palette from MAC, is the one i have had in my collection for the longest out of the bunch of palettes in this post and will always contain some of my favourite eyeshadow shades. MAC eyeshadows were so hyped up for so long and of course we all splurged so often on shadows at £10 a go, but this pre-made warm neutrals palette is such a great deal if you want to give multiple shadows a go, at the time i swear this palette was a good deal at around £60 but now this palette is under £50. My go-to summer favourites from the palette are saddle, gingersnap, creative copper and of course honey lust. 

morphe 12s soul of summer eyeshadow palette

I love love love Morphe eyeshadows in general, but there is just something about this particular one that i will forever be in love with and that is probably because shimmery shadows from Morphe are literally the bomb, they are so pigmented, buttery soft/smooth and are amazing used both wet or dry. If i am ever stuck on picking a shimmery lid shade, i will always reach for this palette and is perfect for all year around not just summer. I really wished these shadows in the palette had names but they don't, but my favourites are the first shade on the left in the middle row and the first three on the bottom row. This palette like all Morphe products is super affordable coming in at just £13 for 12 shimmer shadows and you can get this from BeautyBay. 

anastasia beverly hills modern renaissance eyeshadow palette

Finally and probably saving the best one until last (well in my opinion anyway ha), as well as it being the priciest palette of the bunch coming in at £41, from BeautyBay, Cult Beauty and the Anastasia Beverly Hills UK site. I have been in love with ABH shadows since i first tried them, they are just so unique in formula, pigmentation and everything, so naturally i had to pick this palette up when it was released last summer because they are my kind of shades, which i have mentioned on so many occasions now. My favourite shades from the palette are raw sienna, burnt orange, primavera, love letter and cyprus umber. Whilst on the subject of the warm toned neutrals, i am super excited to get the new Naked Heat palette bu Urban Decay when it launches.

ZOEVA SWEET GLAMOUR BLUSH PALETTE

Hello everyone! Last week i shared an updated makeup wishlist post, which you can catch up on here and in that post i featured a particular palette that i have been lusting after. Soon after that post i caved and ordered a couple of the products, this blush palette from the new zoeva sweet glamour collection being one of them.

So i have always been a huge fan of zoeva blushes/palettes, in fact all of their products in general and as soon as i laid eyes on this palette i knew it had to be welcomed into the collection. First of all how stunning is the palettes packaging? Second of all the three shades in this palette are right up my street, with the perfect mix of pinks and a highlighter-like shade similar to the shade "glowing still" in the zoeva rose golden blush palette. These particular palettes are also great for travelling, which i happened to mention in my three go-to travel friendly highlight palettes post because of how compact they are in size/depth.

As i mentioned the palette consists of three different shades, two blush colours and a highlighter shade. First up in the palette is the shade sweet escape, which is the most beautiful almost vibrant shade of pink. Followed up by my personal favourite the shade ideal love, which is more of a light dusky pink shade and then finally moving onto the shade interpretation of dreams, which is the highlight shade adding some shimmery glow to the skin. Just like the other zoeva blushes/palettes i have tried, they never fail in the pigmentation/formula area. They have this soft almost light butter (maybe from the vitamin e formula) feel to them, which allows them to glide onto the skin and blend out seamlessly. If you fancy giving this beautiful palette a try just like i did, then you can get your hands on it for a steal at only £13 from cultbeauty or beautybay.

UPDATED MAKEUP WISHLIST

Hello everyone! How is that it either goes one of two ways in the world of makeup, you are either not lusting after anything or you are lusting after everything? My case just recently is that i am lusting after pretty much everything, so much so i feel like i need to share an updated wishlist post even though i only shared a two part special with you all last month, which consisted of a makeup edition and a skincare edition.

1. urban decay optical illusion complexion primer

So i believe this is a new product from urban decay, i well i know it has just been released here in the uk and i am so intrigued by it, but i have heard a couple of huge differences in opinions about this product. Putting that aside this is a product that i feel i would like, as i am all about the flawless looking base and products that help you achieve just that. I also believe that this particular product comes in three different finishes, the optical illusion, the self-adjusting and the de-slick.

2. bareMinerals invisible bronze bronzer in the shade medium

I have mentioned in several posts that i am really enjoying makeup from bareMinerals at the moment, especially their gen nude lip products. This particular bronzer has been on my to buy list for quite a while, but there is one problem it is forever out of stock in the shade i want to get and it is so frustrating because i feel like this bronzer would look stunning, even more so in the summer time.

3. huda beauty 3D higlight palette in the golden sands edition

This is probably one of those products that is going to be super hard to get a hold of, as if you follow huda on snapchat you will have seen how insanely beautiful the swatches/formula these highlighter palettes are. There is two different editions of the unique buttery formulated strobe/illuminating palettes, the pink sands edition and the one i am lusting after the golden sands edition.  

4. zoeva sweet glamour blush palette

I have mentioned so many times in the past that i was never a huge blush fan/collector but, oh boy how times of changed and now i find myself always lusting after some form of blush palette. That being said one of my favourite brand of blushes are by zoeva, i already have a few of the luxe color blushes, the pink spectrum palette and the rose golden palette. So naturally i am going to lust after whatever one they release next and can i just say how stunning is the sweet glamour palette packaging?

5. mac cosmetics lipglass in the shade signs of spring

First of all just recently i have been loving a glossy finish to whatever nude lip look i am going for on that day. I also recently picked up a sized to go gloss in the shade clear water from mac, which i love and is super handy to have in your handbag. That being said there is still quite a few different shades in the lipglass collection that i have my eye one, especially the shade signs of spring.

6. iconic london limited edition illumination in the shade original

So i have seen quite a few people on instagram/youtube use these particular illumination drops from iconic london and i have always thought wow they look stunning. Now that i really got into using more cream/liquid highlighters these drops have firmly made their way onto the wishlist, i love the look of the shade original as it is champagne toned with golden shimmer and i am all about the gold/bronze toned highlighters.

JANUARY FAVOURITES

Hey guys, i hope you are all having an amazing day whatever you are up to! What the actual hell it is already the end of January, i swear it was only Christmas last week! I have actually had a pretty jam packed month and had lots of fun, but putting all that a side i have been loving a lot of new products as well as some old favourites in there. So here it is my January favourites...

Soap & Glory The Daily Smooth Body Butter -

I mentioned this a few posts back now in my "soap & glory favourites" and said how it was probably one of my favourite body butters of all time and this month it definitely has been. I can't quiet put my finger on how i can't find another as good as this one is, i love everything about it the smell, the way it leaves my skin feeling... just everything!

L'Oreal Skin Perfection Serum - 

In my last post i mentioned this product for the first time and how it had replaced my previous favourite serum which was the HydraQuench bi-serum by Clarins. I am so glad i gave this product a try because along with the matching moisturizer they make a perfect couple.

L'Oreal Color Riche Collection Exclusive Lipstick in the shade JLO's Nude -

I can't really say much about this lipstick as it is pretty much self explanatory as another nude lipstick... but a girl can never have too many nude lipsticks right? I have pretty much been wearing this on my lips everyday, perfect nude ever!

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in the shade Soft and Gentle -

This product has always been a favourite go to highlighter of mine but until recently i had thought i had lost it and very almost went out and got another one. Then by magic when i decided to actually try and sort out my makeup collection, it appeared..phew! So ever since then it has been placed firmly where i can seen it.

Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance Leave-In Conditioner -

This product was recommended to me by my sister as she swears by it as it really helps when coming to brush and de-tangle her hair. This product has done wonders for my hair because i don't know if this has ever happened to anyone but if you have long hair and you are wearing a coat mainly ones with a hood attached, your hair can get very tangled and full of knots - which is not fun!

Zoeva Blush in the shade Shy Beauty-
This is possible the most stunningly beautiful blush i have ever worn (besides my favourite rose gold blush by sleek), it is one of them blushes that just looks like your old regular standard peachy shade blush but when you apply it just wow! I really can't put into words how beautiful it is.

Rimmel Brow This Way in the shade Dark Brown-
I have mentioned this in a couple of previous posts now, i am one of them people that is very fussy when it comes to brow products, i have to find that perfect shade of dark brown that doesn't come across red and make my eyebrows look ginger as my eyebrows are that dark but black is way too dark. I like to mix the powder side and wax side together and it creates the perfect shade for me. Another great thing about this product is how affordable it is!

Too Face Beauty Wishes and Sweet Kisses Palette-
I received this for Christmas and it had been on my wishlist since i first caught eyes with it when it was first released. It is such a go-to everyday palette when you are in a hurry as the majority of your makeup is in one place, eyeshadows, bronzer, blush, highlight and lip gloss. I must make a confession though my favourite thing about this palette is not only the cute packaging but how it smells of chocolate and who doesn't love chocolate?

ZOEVA LUXE COLOR BLUSHES

Hey guys, i hope you are all having an amazing day whatever you are up to! The other day i ordered a couple of blushes by a brand from Germany called Zoeva, which many of you might be familiar with for their makeup brushes. I have wanted to try out some of their makeup collection for a while now and thought i would start off with some blushes. as i have heard amazing reviews on them and so far so good...i am not disappointed!

The two shades i decided to give a try are "rush, rush" (left) and "shy beauty" (right).

They come with very simple yet sleek black packaging with the "zoeva" logo in the bottom corner. I love the finish to the packaging as it feels really luxurious unlike some packaging where it feels it could snap off its hinges any minute, it also comes mirrored which is another bonus (you can never have too many mirrors ha ha). These blushes retail for 7.80EUR from the Zoeva website or £6.95 from Beauty Bay.

As well as having really nice packaging the product is just as good if not better. The texture of the blushes are so velvety smooth and not powdery in the slightest, which is always better to work with when applied to the skin. The formula of the blushes are really pigmented, long lasting and look so beautiful on the skin as well as in the pan.
