NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer | Review

Hello! ♥

The NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer is a product that constantly receives high praise from beauty lovers. Despite hearing everyone rave about this concealer, I never really had any interest in trying it until last year.. and boy am I disappointed in myself for not trying it earlier!

Anastasia Beverly Hills Illuminator 'So Hollywood' | Review

Hello! ♥

I was contemplating on whether or not to post this just because it's so difficult to get hold of these ABH Illuminators these days, but I thought I'd go ahead with it anyways because I am absolutely in love with this product after owning it for months and months.

Kiko Shade Fusion Trio Blush | Review

Hello! ♥

I've always been a bronzer girl and have steered very far away from blush.. I've always thought blushes weren't really flattering on me, but something has changed recently and I've become obsessed!

The latest addition to my growing blush collection is the new Kiko Shade Fusion Trio Blush in the shade '05 Marsala'. Kiko have released this blush in 6 beautiful shades, along with powders and bronzers in the same range. They're all packaged in the prettiest silver compacts (which remind me of the Hourglass powders quite a lot actually!).

Current Favourite MAC Lipsticks

Hello! ♥

Lipsticks/lipliners are my absolute favourite makeup products so when thinking of what post to write next, my current favourite MAC lipsticks came to mind immediately!

Top to bottom: Sin, Studded Kiss, Ruby Woo and Taupe

Freedom Pro Brow Pomade | Review

Hello! ♥

Since brows have become such a focal point in the beauty world recently, many brands have released their take on the ever-so-popular Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade. Freedom Makeup's Pro Brow Pomade costs only £5 and is available in an array of shades similar to those in the ABH line. Although this product can be referred to as a dupe, I do actually think it's quite different from the ABH pomade.. not bad different, just different.

W7 Makeup - High End Dupes!

Hello! ♥

W7 is an amazing affordable brand and I feel like their products really aren't talked about much which is a bit of a shame as the quality of their products is actually great. I've literally LOVED almost everything I've tried from W7! They have some amazing products which have been incorporated into my daily routine so W7 have definitely become one of my favourite drugstore brands recently.

Here's a little post dedicated to some products of theirs which are comparable to some higher end products, but there are so many more dupes they have (e.g. Benefit They're Real mascara, Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow, etc) so definitely check out some of their other products!

The Balm The Manizer Trio | Review

Hello! ♥

Highlighters have become such a huge thing in the beauty world, and it's just one of those products where you'll own five of the same colour but still go crazy over a new release! One of the most popular highlighters is probably Mary-Lou Manizer from The Balm which I previously owned and loved! I've also been longing for Betty-Lou for ages so thought this would be the perfect palette to pick up as I'll have all three of the Manizer sisters!

The Body Shop All-In-One Instablur Primer | Review

Hello! ♥

I don't think I've ever mentioned a primer before on my blog, and that's because I've honestly never believed they've made any difference to my makeup. I've tried Benefit, L'Oreal, Fashionista etc and haven't experienced anything amazing. Recently, I picked up The Body Shop's InstaBlur primer after the lovely lady working there demonstrated how incredibly well it blurred fine lines and textured skin. I don't really have this kind of problem so I'm not sure what drew me to it but I'm so glad I did end up purchasing it!

Products Worth The Hype

Hello! ♥

Beauty products (especially high-end ones) can receive so much hype on the blogosphere.. You'll end up giving in and buying it only to be disappointed so I thought I'd do my own tried & tested Products Worth The Hype post!

GOSH 9 Shades 'To Enjoy In New York' Palette | Review

Hello! ♥

So I was recently given this GOSH palette from a friend (thank you!) and I've been loving it so far! I'm pretty sure this is the first product I've ever tried from GOSH!

Dior DiorSkin Forever Foundation | Review

Hello! ♥

As I've mentioned in my Top 5 Foundations blogpost, I'm not really keen on foundations with a matte finish. I find that they almost always look hideous (sinking into my 'laugh' lines, emphasising dry patches etc etc) on my dry skin, but the DiorSkin Forever foundation is an exception!

NARS x Steven Klein - One Shocking Moment Cheek Palette

Hello! ♥

NARS released their long-awaited holiday collection with Steven Klein recently. I felt like I had waited forever for it to be available, and I wanted everything when it finally was! As much as I needed the Magnificent Obsession Red Lip Set, I settled on only ordering the One Shocking Moment cheek palette as soon as it went up on the Space NK website!

Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer | Review

Hello! ♥

I actually bought the Urban Decay Naked Skin concealer back in Feb/March when I was on the hunt for a full coverage concealer that wouldn't crease at all under my eyes.. & I haven't stopped using it since then!

Tanya Burr Hollywood Eye Palette | Review

Hello! ♥

Tanya Burr, and her group of friends from YouTube, have done incredibly well and have released books, beauty products, stationary etc. I purchased Tanya's Hollywood Eye Palette over a month ago after it finally came back in stock.. It's the first ever product I've tried from her and I am so so pleased with it!

Derma V10 Make-Off Mitt | Review

Hello! ♥

I'm sure you've all already heard of the hype around reusable makeup removing cloths recently.. Well, I had the opportunity to try the Derma V10 Make-Off Mitt* and I cannot believe I haven't used one before! 

Kiko Water Eyeshadows | Review

Hello! ♥

Kiko Water Eyeshadow '208 Light Gold'

If you've read my Kiko Haul post, you'll know that I now FINALLY own the popular Water Eyeshadow in the shade 208 Light Gold! I'm not sure if it's so popular because it's a dupe for the discontinued MAC Whisper of Gilt and Estee Lauder Heatwave or because it's just such a beautiful shade.. But either way, it's become a highly coveted product and I'm glad I have my hands on one!

ELF Brushes | Review

Hello! ♥

TOP TO BOTTOM: Powder Brush, Small Stipple Brush, Blush Brush, Flawless Concealer Brush, Blending Eye Brush, Eye Crease Brush.

I think makeup brushes are so important to how your overall makeup look ends up.. Which is why you've got to make sure you have brushes which work really well.

The ELF brushes are very inexpensive, but are still of great quality! I don't have many ELF brushes, but the ones I do own are amazing and are used regularly! Here's a quick review of them!

Essence Lipliners | Review

Hello! ♥

Essence have really affordable products and I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally try their products! I'm forever obsessing over a new lip product so I decided to purchase two lipliners, in the shades 05 Soft Berry and 06 Satin Mauve! Just FYI - I'm currently obsessing over 05 Soft Berry!

NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation | Review

Hello! ♥
