Top 5 July Makeup Buys

 The amount of makeup I bought in July really made my eyes water when I look back (cries over bank account), so picking 5 top products was a real struggle , but I really narrowed it down and picked five of my favourite July buys

Glossier Cloud Paint - Dusk 
I bought these after months of drooling over them and they did not disappoint. They are my favourite cream blushes ever, they look so natural and not powdery on the skin. I just feel like I look so alive when I wear these. I have four colours, haze, beam, storm and dusk. Dusk is 100000% my favourite, it has a little bit of rosiness, but the worth and nudeness, to be used as a bronzer. I wear this on my lips, my eyelids, my cheeks. It's one of those wonder products that can be used in so many different ways and the packaging is so cute and easy to use.


Nyx Eyebrow Gel - Espresso
This month my eyebrows had been driving me insane. I don't know why but they just never seemed to match my hair colour or they would look so un natural. It was time for a change. I had never used a gel before so was pretty nervous, but it is incredible. I got really intimidated by the intense, sculpted, instagram eyebrow that accompanied the product. But if you're looking for a product that looks natural and undetectable this is for you! I used an angle brush and created natural looking strokes in my eyebrows. They looked thicker, like they had better shape without looking like I'd touched them in anyway, definitely a game changer in my makeup routine!

Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation - 3.0
This is so nostalgic for me, this was the foundation I wore for prom and my first ever proper foundation. I used up 6 bottles of this once upon a time and recently re discovered my love for it. It gives such a natural, airbrushed pretty finish, without looking heavy or intense. It truly is my favourite foundation, I guess I could say my holy grail. This is perfect if you think a bb cream is not enough but a full coverage foundation is too much.




Urban Decay Beached Eyeshadow Palette 
The reason this is in my top 5 isn't so much for the packaging or the hype, it's the fact it made me try something new. I have never been a fan of blue eyeshadow and is so far out of my comfort zone it is practically on mars. But as an impulse buy, before I knew it , I was unboxing it in my room. I cannot explain how beautiful the formula of this palette is, the blues are so beautiful and pigmented and just look incredible. Because of this I've worn blue eyeshadow every day since I've bought this. So this palette really opened up a new world of colour and vibrance to me.


Kiehl's Butterstick Lip Treatment - Naturally Nude
I've only had this a few days, but it has become my favourite day time lip product. It pretty much matches any eye look I do and really conditions and treats my lips. This is a litttlleeeee expensive, but I'm not really a tinted lip balm person. So to find one that has an amazing colour pay off, conditions my lips and goes with any outfit or makeup look, is a product that will stick around!

Bioderma Sensibio Range Review - PR

  If you've been around for a long time you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands and they were kind enough to send me their Sensibio range to try out.  The Bioderma Sensibio Micellar water needs no introduction. It's a staple in so many makeup artists routines and it's easy to see why. I've gone through so many of these micellar waters and nothing quite compares for me. This is the foundation of my morning skincare and is just enough cleansing without stripping my face. It's such a beautiful formula that leaves my skin looking super refreshed.  I also received a few goodies I haven't tried before including the Sensibio eye contour gel . This really surprised me as I usually steer towards creams when it comes to eye cream, but I was super impressed with the gel. It feels more like a creamy gel and glides beautifully under the eyes and makes the perfect base for concealer. I've actually been using this in the morning as I find the gel i...

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - Pale Skin Review

I had been dying to purchase one of these bronzers since they came out and after months of resisting finally caved in! There are 8 shades which is great as there is a large range to choose from, depending on how you like your bronzer. Naturally I am quite pale and for reference I am the shade 120 in the Fenty Foundation and 150 Buff in Revlon's colour stay foundation, and even in summer, I never really change that much from these shades. From being so pale, the fear of the bronzer is real, I haven't found any that look natural and don't leave me looking orange, muddy, or like i have a some kind of smudge on my face. So I decided to try the lightest bronzer Fenty Beauty had to offer, Inda Sun. From swatching the shade appears pretty neutral and light, it doesn't have a red undertone that can leave pale skin looking orange. I also love the gold packaging and how luxury and sleek it feels. I used the same brush I would normally use for bronzer which is my real tech...

How To Streamline Your Skincare Routine

 Lately I have been feeling so overwhelmed with makeup, skincare and brushes and decided to take it back to basics. Having a simple skincare routine is great for your skin, cost effective and stops me changing my routine every day! I decided to make a routine and stick to it.. mainly in an attempt to stop my acne! 1. Cleanser  A cleanser is a must! Ensuring all that makeup and grime is off your face is one of the most important steps. I love this Pai, Camellia and Rose Cleanser , but it is a littttlleee expensive, another great alternative is the Nivea Daily Basics Face Wash.  If I want to make my cleanser last longer ( especially the ones that make my eyes water looking at the price ), I will just use micellar water, like the Bioderma one and a cotton pad in the morning and save my cleanser for night, but one cleanser will do the trick! 2. A Toner  Without a toner my skin feels tight and dry. The Liz Earle Skin Tonic, has been a favourite for years, it sm...
