May Empties

Even though lockdown's well and truly under way, I've been wearing makeup pretty much everyday. I actually find it therapeutic and it reminds me of normality (AKA, it's keeping me sane). So I'm still raking up the empties but I have been using makeup products that aren't  my favourite or I've forgotten about.

I have had this Revlon Candid concealer for ages and I decided I wanted to make a conscious effort to use it up in lockdown! I love the formula of this concealer, it's creamy and blends so well, but I just wish there were more shades. I can just about get away with their lightest shade 010 Vanilla, so that's why I don't usually reach for this one. If the shades expanded, I would definitely repurchase!

I also finished my Clinique Chubby lash Mascara. I've got about 5 months out of this mascara and it is one of may favourites. It's lengthening, volumising and I always get so many compliments on my lashes whenever I have this on. I would absolutely repurchase this. But I'm currently obsessed with waterproof mascara while i have dry eyes and hay fever turning my eyes into Niagra Falls.

My Mario Badescu Spray also bit the dust. I got this as a Christmas present and I use this as a toner and throughout the day too. This is so refreshing and I love to keep it in the fridge, I've gone through about four of these now and they're a staple in my routine.... Now everywhere in the world seems to be out of stock of this so I actually purchased the rose water from Heritage Store to try. I will repurchase this as soon as i can get my hands on it!

My Cerave Hydrating Cleanser also ran out. Luckily I have back ups of this coming out of my ears! It's my favourite cleanser of all time and has reached holy grail status! I actually buy the bigger version of this now, which you can buy on look fantastic, which is 473ml compared to 236 ml. It lasts me so much longer and is more cost effective!

I also used up my Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. I adore this product and have already repurchased another one. It's amazing at melting away my makeup and is one of the only balm/oil cleansers that doesn't break my skin out or clog my pores.

So five things for the month of May, which I'm pretty happy with! A lot of my skincare is on the verge of running out so expect to see a LOT of skincare empties in June!

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...
