Inflight Skincare Routine

Going on a plane is already beyond petrifying to me, the whole 37,000 feet in the air thing terrifies me and going through security, wondering if my bag is even on the right plane and if the security are going to tell me I have to throw away an expensive product because it doesn’t comply… But one of the scariest things about flying is the pressurised, recycled stifling air on the plane. The thought of what’s in that air sends shivers down my spine. Being acne prone, wearing makeup is a solid no for me on a plane. The air just sucks my skin dry and anything on top of it with it. So it’s no surprise when I wear makeup on a flight and wake up with three volcanos on my face. These are my favourite products to stop my skin freaking out, but making sure when I get off the plane I feel like my glowy self.  Face Wipes - An absolute essential, I usually wipe my face with face wipes every two hours and then put my skincare on around the half way mark. I love any that are infused with...

Instagramable Accessories - In Collaboration With CaseApp

 I love nothing more than finding a product that, not only means something to me, but looks so cute and personal, I can't help but Instagram it. Luckily enough for me, CaseApp were kind enough to let me design some products and review them, and I could not wait to get my hands on them! CaseApp sell personalised iPhone cases and personalised laptop skins, which I love because who wants a boring phone case, when you can have one that says whatever you want and looks how you want to! When I'm planning my Instagram feed I look for colours and concepts that work well together and CaseApp allows me to create exactly what I see in my head. 1. MACBOOK AIR 13" PERSONALISED SKIN Now if you don't know, about 6 months ago I went to Venice and fell in love with the place! There are pictures plastered all over my Instagram and I cannot wait to go back. It also means a lot to me because it's where my now fiancĂ©e proposed to me... so when it came to designing my laptop skin t...

Autumn/Fall Makeup Essentials

Autumn is well and truly under way and although my makeup doesn't really change from summer to autumn, I definitely make a few swaps in order to feel a bit more seasonal! The best thing about autumn is warm tones! My favourite colours, that look just like the leaves and all things pumpkin spice! 1. IT COSMETICS CC CREAM I tend to try and not wear foundation in autumn because my skin freaks a bit with the change in weather. This provides the perfect amount of coverage, whilst looking undetectable and natural on the skin. I have done a review on this CC cream so I'm not going to say too much about it, but I love this for autumn weather! 2. GLOSSIER STRETCH CONCEALER (LIGHT) Once again I think this is perfect for transitioning to the colder months. It isn't heavy around my eyes and I think of it more as a tinted eye cream than a heavy duty concealer! This is perfect for a minimal makeup look and for a quick college makeup look, that just looks polished. 3. BOBBI BROW...

Fenty Beauty Foundation Review

After months of telling myself I don't need any more foundations and I have way too many as it is... you guessed it, I bought another one. I'd heard so much hype around this foundation and needed to give it a go! First of all there are 40 shades... 40 shades!! that is incredible, as it is really rare than I can find a shade that is my colour and undertone. So I got the shade 120 and it really matches me perfectly. I found it did oxidise a little, but nothing crazy orange. It just oxidises to its true colour. I applied a small amount of the foundation tot my neck and went out into natural light for half an hour, so I could see which colour would be perfect after it oxidised. The packaging of this product is incredible. The white lid and the clear bottle. I. Am. In. Love. Minimal, elegant, packaging is my favourite. The texture of the foundation, is watery and pretty runny, so I prefer to apply this with a brush, because a beauty blender just soaks it up! The foundation c...
