Yet another Juvia's palette and I could not be happier with this one. I got the stunning Magic Palette (30£) on Beauty Bay's black Friday sale for the amazing 18£ price tag and it is safe to say I'm in love ever since it arrived at my doorstep! The colour scheme has a mix of warm and cool tones that I always love to pair...
Having decided to only have a reasonable amount of products open at once in order to be able to use them prior to expiration date I ended up with 3 concealers on the run. Project Pan helped me go through concealers like never before (and I know I'm long overdue an update) so I feel like I get to enjoy them better when...
Red lipstick is the classic shade for the festive season, whether it is a sheer red or a full on burgundy shade, you most likely will see someone at the Christmas Work Party rocking one! Having said that there's nothing like a true fiery red to add to the classy look and what better time to share 3 of my favourites, not only...
A NYX finally opened in a shopping centre near me, literally 30min walk which is a dangerous thing! On the day of opening I was feeling miserable with a cold but decided makeup shopping would fix that for me and off I went! The store is huge has every single product NYX does and is a delight to wander around! I could not...
It seems like LA Splash launched yet another collection of liquid lipsticks, and I'm not complaining at all... I could not resist a shade that looked nothing like I owned and to my surprise is rather flattering! Ms Invisible (9,50£) is the character that inspired this particular shade and forgive me if there's any reference I'm missing. ...
It's that time of the year once again, where you have barely any time to get ready for the day and simplicity is key! Nars offers exactly that, quality products that don't need much to look like a lot! One of my favourite picks is definitely the infamous blush in Dolce Vita to achieve that fall pinky red healthy glow to the cheeks!...
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kits are iconic in the beauty industry and for some good reason! This is the second one I own and I must admit I'm obsessed!!!! Moonchild is on its way so I cannot compare them just yet but from what I've been experiencing I'm sure the quality is gonna be as amazing! Aurora (41£) is not your ordinary...
Can we please take a minute to appreciate this packaging? And who am I gonna fool by saying it definitely wasn't the reason for me to buy it? No one, 'cause it definitely was! Kat Von D, once again, smashing in packaging creativity and product quality, no surprise here. ...
If there's a palette that's been everywhere recently it must be this one... and I can't blame anyone for doing so! It so happens Huda Beauty dropped 4 different mini (and I must definitely emphasise mini here) palettes for all tastes! I personally love some warm toned shadows or very colourful but because I definitely have enough of those decided to go for...
Secret Santa is always a struggle mainly when you've been working in a place for not long enough or haven't had the closest relationship with the person you got. There's simple solutions for that but if the person in question is a woman you sure have a lot to look out for! ...
First things first, I'm in love! I've never been this drawn to a Nars eyeshadow palette before... I was thinking of it all day long and having to look at it every single day at work only made me even more sure of how much I'd love to own it and use it on a daily basis... so I bitten the bullet. Here's...
Say hello to the newest addition to my sea of highlighters! One that is for sure unique and stole my heart first time I laid my eyes on. Illamasqua Beyond Powders come in 4 different shades and even thou I know I'd love OMG on my skin tone I couldn't stop admiring Deity in its own glory! The golden green shimmer looks stunning...
It is not new that I love ABH eyeshadows, I own Modern Renaissance and Subculture and love them dearly so I couldn't pass on the recently launched, and limited edition, Prism Palette! And as of today is Black Friday I must admit I placed an order for 4 of her single shadows! ...
Long overdue is an empties post! I recently finished quite a lot of products (pat myself on the back) due to my online project pan (the one I've been sharing) and my personal project pan (the one I've set myself personally without sharing online). It so happens a lot of these products are some of my favourites and I definitely would like to...
A little haul coming its way! I must state I went crazy on Black Friday and spent way more than I want to admit so I'll probably be reporting all of it soon since I'm still waiting for a few parcels to arrive! Illamasqua had to be on my list of websites to visit as their sales are always so good! They had...
It doesn't happen often that skincare becomes a focal point in here, not because I lack knowledge or experience with it, I just don't find it as exciting as makeup for an instance. But I've been told it changes with age so let's put that to the test! In 10 years time hopefully I'll still be writing here and possibly sharing more on...
Christmas is close and what a better excuse to splurge and treat ourselves?! I don't often share my wishlist here as I'm fortunate enough to usually bite the bullet soon after I fall in love with something which is something I want to change soon... so I do more of a conscious purchase and stop cluttering my life with things I love for...
Often matte skin is something lusted after during the warmer months but for some reason forgotten during Fall/Winter. To be fair I personally don't get as oily but I know people that struggle with oiliness all year long so there's not really a right or wrong time to share some favourites to keep those oils at bay! Cover FX recently launched two mini...
Funny enough this afternoon I was trying to get back into my blogging routine after a week of not even looking at it, when I could not find inspiration to write. Everything that I noted down I was not happy with so I stepped back. It's half past ten in the evening and it's the time I feel most inspired to write, where...
Mousse Foundations are often overlooked for their well known cake-y qualities however Inglot proved us all wrong. Recently launching the Everlight Mousse Foundation (14£) , a base that offers demi matte finish and a light to medium coverage without looking too much on the skin. I was expecting it to offer more coverage than a light to medium but surprisingly enough I still...
Goldfaden MD is a new brand to me and one I don't hear much about! With natural based products this brand brings us incredible quick results in a pot, being their most popular product the Doctor's Scrub! Today's focus is on the Facial Detox Clarifying + Clear Mask (58£), as it suggests, is one of those purifying formulas that you leave in your skin for...
There's no perfect time than fall to pull those warm eyeshadows out of the drawer and there's also no better palette to represent that other than the Urban Decay Naked Heat! It falls perfectly into the idea of warm toned makeup with a mix of mattes and shimmers that deliver that elaborated warm look you see on instagram over and over again. ...
As you may or may not have noticed I'm a huge fan of Kat Von D makeup line! Everything is high quality, unique and has so much thought into it that becomes not only makeup, but Art. Being Debenhams the only retailer in the UK we are kind of depending on them to get the newest launches in the US, which take months...
I own more lipsticks than a person can use in a lifetime however nothing I own is quite like this... Benefit was probably one of the first brands to recently come up with the idea of an easy to apply ombre lipstick but it didn't spark any interest on me. Having said that, on a trip to boots I swatched the newly launched...
Kat Von D always surprises with her Holiday collections! This year she launched the stunning Saint & Sinner eyeshadow palette (review coming soon), but also this breathtaking lipstick set! I've tried her Everlasting liquid lipsticks last year with the shade Double Dare, and fell in love with the formula. It is thin, glides on easily and feels comfortable on the lips, however, if...
Fall is right upon us and being it my favourite season of the four I must give emphasis to it on my makeup routine. I usually associate Fall with warm tones, dusky pinks, burnt oranges but above all matte everything! ...
Recently I've visited Wilko in the hopes I would find outstanding home decor (and by that I mean Halloween for some, regular home decor for myself) and stopped by the Essence counter... I came out with 25£ worth of products that I surely didn't need but wanted to try... so here's the summary of what I'm adding to my collection! ...
I've been taking this project pan seriously for the past few months and I've been able to finish some products I had sitting in my drawers for the longest time. It just comes to show how much I accumulate and don't use, which is a total waste of money and product once it expires half full. I'm usually pretty good at decluttering and...
A declutter happened around my beauty stash, I threw away a lot of things (unfortunately) and filled a bag with a lot more to donate to friends. This makes me feel relieved but at the same time guilty for all the things I ended up wasting and for all the money I spent on them... would probably be closer to getting something greater...
Liquid lipsticks are still big in the industry and one of my favourite formulas has always been the NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipsticks. With a huge range of shades and now different finishes, the comfortable creamy lipstick is easy to apply and stays put all day long with minimal retouch required. ...
Scents are something personal that somehow define personalities! For the past few months I've been (almost) bathing in the Clean Reserve fragrance in Rain! It is one of my all time favourite scents and I've had plenty of compliments while wearing it which is an amazing bonus! ...
Smashbox is a brand I definitely want to try more from in the future! I usually never visit their counters but to be fair I haven't tried anything that I don't like from them! The Always On Liquid Lipsticks are hands down one of my favourite formulas of all time so I kinda had to try more from the lip range they offer....
Kat Von D is one of the brands, if not my favourite brand for makeup! The quality, the art, the originality and consistency is superb! Nothing has ever let me down from her line and the Alchemist Palette couldn't be more perfect! Alchemist (25£) is the duo chrome holographic palette that comes with 4 different (duo chrome) shades that can be used on the eyes...
Dr Dennis Gross is a new brand to my sea of skincare, having not found my favourite cleanser yet I decided to give this one a go. The All-In-One Cleanser With Toner (25£) is, as the name suggests, a cleanser that will tone the skin while removing all impurities and makeup. It has a gel like consistency that emulsifies once water is added...
When I first tried Smashbox I didn't think much of it, it was alright certainly not worth the price tag in my mind... but how wrong I was! Recently I gave another chance to the brand and have grown such love for its new products that I though would be worthy of a spotlight on the blog. ...
The Body Shop has always been one of my favourites for bath and body but recently I wanted to explore more of their skincare range. Having tried a few of their masks in the past and the Camomile Oil Cleanser I wanted to try more from the range. ...
