First Time Trying Milk Makeup

I cannot tell you how long I have waited to try Milk Makeup, I have longed for the minimalist sticks for so long and when it dropped that Milk were launching on Cult Beauty, I pulled up a chair and waited for the launch. I purchased the bronzing stick and the Blush stick in Werk, but also got the free sample bag, which contained three things to try!

1) BRONZING STICK - BLAZE
I had seen so many rave reviews on this bronzer and thought it would be rude not to try. I got the shade Blaze and although this is the darkest shade it works really well on my pale skin tone as a contour without looking to orange or warm. This blends like a dream, it takes about 5 seconds to blend this in and it sits beautifully on the skin without becoming patchy, which is always my main concern for cream products. ill definitely be buying the lighter shade to try in summer!

 2) LIP + CHEEK - WERK 
I had no intention of buying anything other than the bronzer but... it was bound to happen and I'm glad it did. I got a mini version of this in the sample bag so will keep that for travelling. This is such a gorgeous formula, it's pigmented but not that over the top powdery blush colour. The finish reminds me of Glossier's cloud paints, in that slightly dewy flushed barely there colour. The colour werk is a beautiful dusty rose that looks so natural!

 3) KUSH MASCARA
Ahhhh.. I was so excited about this product, the fact it is made with Cannabis Oil was something that really interested me as I was looking for some good lash conditioning! But I really did not get on with this, although it applied beautifully at the start, separating my lashes and giving natural volume, it went everywhere... by 1pm I looked like a panda and not a cute one! This smudged so badly I had to take my concealer off and reapply it under my eye. There are so many cheaper alternatives for mascara that work well and have oils that will condition your lashes like the Total Temptation Mascara from Maybelline. If you're going to spend money on Milk Makeup, the sticks are absolutely worth buying!

4) BLURRING STICK 
This also came in my free sample bag and it was a product I had considered buying but just couldn't bite the bullet. In the last couple of weeks I've started to move away from primer and stick to moisturisers that leave my skin smooth, but this really shocked me. As someone with acne and scarring, not only did it blur my skin, but it left a really smooth base for makeup. After using this my makeup went on like an absolute dream, no creasing, no cakey spots and it looked seamless. I got so many comments on how flawless my skin looked throughout the day and the only difference was the use of this bad boy. I love this product and will be purchasing the bigger size ASAP!

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...
