Sephora Haul!

Leave a comment

Hey Dolls,

This week is part 1 of my American Haul, part 2 will be coming next week! Also sorry for missing 2 posts I moved back to university and had some family things going on so needed to focus on them but I’m back now!

I went to Sephora in Boston and in New York, mum and I spent a bomb but it was worth it! So lets get into the haul!

First up we got the Cover FX Mattifying Kit which includes the primer, powder and setting spray- perfect for travelling with. Next up was the Tarte Rain Forest of the Sea palette, Oh my the colours in this palette are insane and I would highly recommend Tarte palettes for incredible blend-ability and pigmentation. We also picked up the Urban Decay Naked Flushed palette, again great for travelling which includes a bronzer, blush and highlight. Also I couldn’t go to Sephora and not pick up a tonne of Sephora own brand face, lip and foot masks! They are amazing and so affordable! Last up in this section was my favourite Chloe Perfume in a rollerball, perfect for popping in your bag on nights out!

Our next trip resulted in more purchases from Tarte! I purchased the Scrub clean kit which includes the Friction stick and Rain Forest of the Sea collection cleanser as well as a little mitt to get your pores clean, as well as the Amazonian Clay BB cream- I have been so impressed with this product, the coverage is good, it doesn’t slide off like a lot of other BB creams and leaves my skin looking flawless! I also grabbed another bottle of my fave Dry bar Shampoo as well as a Huda Beauty Lip Contour in the most stunning nude shade! I also picked up a Makeup forever Mist and Fix as my setting spray has run out and I love it! Its really hydrating and keeps my makeup in place all day!

Our final trip to Sephora was a much smaller one in which I mainly purchased their travel size items so I could give a few products a try without paying full price to find out I hated them- I am a student after all!

Mum needed a new ABH brow definer so we picked one up as well as a couple of sleep masks, one of which we used on the plane home which I highly recommend! I also picked up the Too Faced Better than Sex Mascara as everyone raves about it and I must admit I agree its great! The other Too Faced product I picked up was the Born this way concealer which I love the only problem is its a tiny bit too light for my skin tone but covers dark circles and blemishes with ease!

Next weeks part 2 hauls is Bath and Body works!

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 10 Holy Grail Beauty Products!

3 Comments

Hey Dolls,

Today’s post is all about my beauty favourites and must haves!

I’m going to start with the base and work up! So up first is the Too Face Hangover Primer! This stuff is incredible!! Not only does it smell amazing, it creates the perfect base for my foundation and has fantastic staying power!

The next product is one I haven’t heard many people talk about and I think is very underrated!  I’m talking about Nars Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base. OK this is like glue! SOO much better than the Urban Decay eye shadow primer, works great with eyeshadow straight on top and doesn’t need setting, or under concealer on your eyelids. This is the first shadow primer I’ve used that never leaves me with creased eyes!! Highly recommend!!!

Now to foundation and concealer! First up is an expensive one but its soooo worth it! Chanel’s Perfection Lumiere Velvet foundation. This is the first full coverage foundation I’ve found that feels light and doesn’t look cakey! It’s my go to when I have a tan and I absolutely love it! My next holy grail is one that most beauty bloggers/vloggers rave about and I’m going to join them! Nars Creamy concealer! I have it in two shades and am on my third tube of vanilla! This is the only concealer that properly covers my dark circles and doesn’t crease!

Onto powder products now and I have two! First up is another Nars product (sorry they just slay the makeup game) and its their bronzer in the shade ‘Laguna’. OMG! Best bronzer I’ve ever used, I have purchased multiple times! Not orange and blends beautifully! I totally joined the hype with this next one! Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector in ‘Champagne Pop’. This highlighter is INSANE! Super pigmented, amazing quality just amazing!!

Moving onto lashes and brows. I could not do a holy grail list and not include the queen of brown products Anastasia Beverly Hills! Her brow products are THE BEST! I have the Brow Definer, Brow Wiz, Dipbrow Pomade and clear Brow Gel! I even got my mum in on the hype and now she loves the Brow Wiz! I don’t think I will use any other brow product brand for a long time!!!

Lash time now! First up is mascara and I’ve chosen Charlotte Tilbury Full Fat Lash Mascara, it does not disappoint! It lives up to it’s promises and lengthens, volumises, curls and adds drama without leaving my lashes clumpy! AMAZING!! I’m an Essex girl at heart so of course there had to be some falsies in this list and the winners are Ardell Demi Wispies! I adore these lashes, I keep at least 5 sets of them in my draw! They are super easy to apply, blend nicely with my natural lashes and look great with any eye look!

I’m not sure if this counts as a beauty product or not but its going on the list! My signature fragrance, I couldn’t even tell you how many bottles of this I’ve bought! This perfume is my go to, Chloe original scent! OMG, best smelling perfume ever (in m opinion), it lasts all day and I loveeee it!!
