e.l.f. Oil Control Primer
I am forever on a quest to find products that combat oily skin. Oils are my worst nemesis, seeping through about an hour after I apply makeup and ruining all my hard work. Others will look fine by 5 o’clock home time; I will look like a greasy shiny mess… not ideal. Step in e.l.f. with this absolute live-saver of a primer. No exaggeration when … Continue reading e.l.f. Oil Control Primer
L’Oréal Paris Pure Clay Detox Mask
The L’Oréal Pure Clay range has been around for a while but is something I’ve never tried. Why, I have no idea as one mask pot will only cost you around £5. Not bad at all. I also love L’Oréal’s concept of multi-masking, i.e. applying a mask with a different benefit to certain parts of your face depending on what your skin in that area … Continue reading L’Oréal Paris Pure Clay Detox Mask
Huda Beauty Topaz Obsessions Palette
If I could only pick one brand to sum up the beauty world in 2018, it would be Huda Beauty. The brand was created way back in 2011 when Huda Kattan launched her beautiful lash range, but it was last year when it truly blew up. It was everywhere, surrounded in both success and controversy. I’ve been gazing lovingly at the New Nude palette since … Continue reading Huda Beauty Topaz Obsessions Palette
Sponges: Beautyblender vs Real Techniques
Base application is no longer the unquestionable realm of brushes. Sponges are just as – if not more – of a popular choice these days. But these aren’t just your £1 for 6 sponges from Boots; the new breed of makeup sponges are something else altogether. The Beautyblender was undoubtedly a pioneer of the new trend, created in the early 2000’s but really bursting on … Continue reading Sponges: Beautyblender vs Real Techniques
The Best Nail Top Coat Ever: Seche Vite
Throw out any nail polish top coat you have, this is the only one you need. Seche Vite is unlike any other top coat I have ever used and the only one that I continue to use to this day. It was created in 1991 and was, according to their website, the “first patented single procedure non-yellowing dry fast top coat”. Firstly, it dries quickly. … Continue reading The Best Nail Top Coat Ever: Seche Vite
bareMinerals BarePro Liquid Foundation
I am incredibly fickle when it comes to foundation. Sure, I have a few favourites that I know will always be fail safe options – Urban Decay All Nighter, ELF Flawless Finish and Two Faced Born This Way to name a few – but I can just as easily chop and change with little second thought. My most recent foundation find could be another matter … Continue reading bareMinerals BarePro Liquid Foundation
Olaplex No. 3
In my quest for long hair and consequent stubborn refusal to go to the hairdresser, I have ended up with split ends. Lots and lots of split ends. Step in Olaplex. This was a treatment I had heard about from my hairdresser but had never actually tried until I took the £32 plunge and bought it for myself one day. The Claim This treatment claims … Continue reading Olaplex No. 3
ELF Flawless Finish foundation
In the continued hunt to find my holy grail foundation I picked up this ‘Flawless Finish’ foundation from ELF. The brand has only just started appearing in the UK, and I couldn’t contain my excitement when I saw it in my local Superdrug – of course I had to get something! As this is their bestselling foundation, it seemed like a good place to start! … Continue reading ELF Flawless Finish foundation
Benefit Hoola Lite
Bronzer is one of those makeup products that terrifies me. That and blusher. I think it’s the fact that you want it to be seen – obviously, no one puts on makeup to look the same – but you also don’t want it to be seen. You want it to melt in to your skin to look like a natural shadow, not appear as though … Continue reading Benefit Hoola Lite
Zoeva Cocoa Blend Eyeshadow Palette
Having heard the words ‘Zoeva Cocoa Blend palette’ all over the internet, from YouTube to blogs, I finally relented and bought one. Although it didn’t hurt that the colours also looked beautiful! Packaging First off, the packaging is really pretty. It actually does kind of remind me of a chocolate bar, with its slide off cover and geometric print – kind of what I imagine … Continue reading Zoeva Cocoa Blend Eyeshadow Palette
