Leave a comment

Hey Dolls,

I haven’t done a monthly favourites post for ages so thought I would share with you what my favourite Beauty and lifestyle faves have been in august!

Starting with beauty, my fave of august was L’Oréal Volume million lashes mascara! This mascara is not a new one but I have fallen back in love with it, it makes my lashes look false when I wear it as I’ve had LVL lashes, affordable and fabulous, highly recommended!

Next up skincare, this was a random one as I stole it from my mums cupboard but wow it’s fab! My skin care favourite is Neal’s Yard orange flower facial oil, I have always been weary of oils as I have combination skin but this oil leaves my skin feeling really hydrated and not greasy plus it smells amazing!IMG_0137

Sticking with beauty but moving on to brushes, although I was late to the party I decided to purchase 2 of the PS Pro brushes from Primark, and thand foundation brush has become my new favourite brush! It applies products flawlessly and fast with lovely results, Primark have definitely upped their game!

My final beauty fave has been the B makeup brush cleanser, its great for when your brushes need a clean but you don’t have time for a deep clean, simply spritz on a tissue or towel and rub the brush on it until its clean then your brushes are ready to use!

My other favourite has been my new Tiffany Sunglasses, I love them! They are the perfect shape, design and size! Also I got them on sale so even better!

10 Most used Holiday Beauty Products!

Leave a comment

Hey Dolls,

After returning from Spain I thought I’d give you a run down of the products I used the most.

First up skincare: After a long day in the sun its important to rehydrate your skin and for the past 2 years I’ve been loving the ‘Garnier Amber Solaire After Sun with Aloe Vera’. Its super cooling and dries quickly but leaves your skin feeling hydrated and it also helps prevent peeling and prolonging your tan.

The second product I have recently discovered has very quickly become one of my favourites. On holiday I always get dry feet due to the heat and the cream I have been loving is ‘L’Occitane Creme Pieds dry skin Foot Cream’. It has Shea butter in which helps to keep your feet soft and hydrated. I definitely think this was worth the luxury price tag.

My final most used skin care product is a cult classic that I never travel without and that is the ‘Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream’. This is the only think that stops my lips drying out and is also great for dry hands, definitely should be a staple in everyones suitcase!

Next up Makeup Face Base: Holiday or no holiday the one primer that comes with me wherever I go is of course ‘Too Faced Hangover’ you guys know how much I love this product so I’m not going to go on about it haha!

Another favourite of mine is the ‘Garnier BB Cream’, I much prefer using a BB cream on holiday than foundation as it is much lighter and foundation is just too much when its 30+ degrees! This BB cream gives just the right amount of coverage and a lovely natural finish.

An oldie but a goodie is ‘Benefit Hello Flawless Powder’ it adds a lovely bit of extra coverage without turning your face super matte which I definitely don’t want on holiday.

Final product is a new one, ‘Rimmel Good to Glow Highlighter in Soho Glow’ this highlight gives a lovely bronze glow to the cheeks and is also great to mix into primer or my BB cream for that extra summer glow.

Finally is eyes and lips: I took the ‘Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette’ as it has a lovely range of mattes and shimmers and I always go for warm eyes on holiday and this pallette has some lovely warm browns, definitely a cult classic.

My second product in this category is ‘Tom Ford Lip Colour in 22 Patrick’. Ok I know this is definitely a luxury splurge product but oh my god I adore this colour and the formula and just everything about it! Tom Ford definitely knows how to create summer lip colours.

My final product which has to go on holiday is ‘Urban Decay All Nighter Spray’ no make up is gonna move from your face once you’ve sprayed this all over it!

My Favourite Lip Glosses!

Leave a comment

Hey Dolls,

This weeks post is a short and sweet one! As we are now in spring and getting close to summer I thought I’d share with you my favourite glosses we can all start stepping away from the Matte lips!

These aren’t in  any particular order, so let’s she what made the cut!

IMG_7775

First up is a nude gloss from Charlott tilbury, I love her lipgloss formulas as they aren’t sticky or too glossy so they are great for a more natural look. The first of 2 that are in my favourites is “Seduction” a lovely browny pink nude.

Next is one of 2 YSL Tint in a Oil glosses that I love! This is a super glossy, moisturising formula and works as a tint as well as a nourishing lip iref colour is in no 5 which is a bright pink, but as it’s an oil the colour is quite sheer making it very wearable.

Now is the second Charlotte Tilbury shade in the colour “Portobello Girl” this beautiful pink has gold shimmer running through making it a perfect accompaniment to any make up look.

The final brand duplication is the second YSL shade in the colour no 4. This is a much paler pink which works great for those no makeup days when you still want something more than a lip balm on your lips.

Now for my 2 high end lipgloss faves which I personally think are definitely worth the little bit extra money. My all time favourite gloss is Marc Jacobs “Some Girls” the colour is beautiful, the formula is great it’s not sticky at all and is long lasting and the pigment is fab! I definitely want to purchase a few more shades as I loveeee this lip gloss!

My final lip gloss is one from Burberry, I was gifted this gloss for my birthday and I love it. It’s not as glossy as the Marc jacobs ones which makes it perfect for topping off a matte lip or for the days when you want something inbeteeen a gloss and Matte lipstick! I have the colour “Nude Beige no 17” and use it in 3 different ways: over mac whirl or velvet teddy for a little bit extra oomph, on its own or with a nude lip liner to create super pouty lips!
