Chanel Les Beige Bronzer Review

Soleil Tan De Chanel is one of the products I've always dreamed of using and I told myself after my Accutane treatment I would finally splurge! But... the original formula has been reformulated and rebranded as Les Beige Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream. I was a little wary after hearing the new ingredients included Hydrogenated coconut oil, but I thought I would give it a go!

My skin is super dry and I wanted a good cream bronzer for a while. I was tempted by Nudestix Bondi Bae but you only get 7grams for £28..... and I love my bronzer. You get 30 grams in the Chanel Bronzer for £42. It's still a hefty price tag but works out at £1.40 per gram, whereas the Nudestix bronzer works out at £4 per gram!

One thing I will say is there is one shade.... one shade. In the modern day world there just isn't an excuse for providing one shade. Get it together Chanel. Universal complexion products just don’t and shouldn’t exist, I want to see an extensive shade range for not just foundations and concealers but bronzers and powders too.

The colour is on the warmer side and is not a colour I would use to contour by any means. for reference I am NW 10 in Mac foundation (so yes I am Casper the friendly ghost). I find the colour glorious, it looks like a natural tan as oppose to a muddy colour on my complexion. I love to use a large brush like the Morphe E3, it's the perfect size to swirl in the pan. The product blends seamlessly into my skin and wears so well, it stays on my skin all day!

Finally the coconut oil... so I have had no new spots since using this and it hasn't effected my skin negatively at all. I didn't use the old formula, so can't compare but I love this product, I love the tone of the colour, the packaging, the way it blends. I've found my holy grail bronzer.

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...
