On one of my recent trips to Kiko I went all nuts over their eye products, as per usual! I definitely wanted to haul them at some point and even thou the shade range is rather interesting I found the shades I selected are quite transitional for in between seasons. 

On a very boring Saturday I decided to visit Westfield and see what's new in Kiko and couldn't believe on how much I've been missing out lately!

The most recent limited edition is inspired by Asian culture and in collaboration with the brand Isa Arfen to celebrate Kiko's 20th anniversary!

The festive season is usually all about glitter and pops of red everywhere but not all of us enjoy such bold statements, and the social pressure can be there to make us wear that red lipstick we've got since 5 Christmas ago that we hate...

If this is the case, you can be glamorous and season appropriate by twisting the red and going for the mauves instead! With these 5 products you can create a stunning look that will be festive yet not on your face and is a safe playground for those who are less experienced.

Nail polishes, long time no see! Finally I'm not working full time on the bakery and can rock my long colourful nails for the most part of the week! It sounds a bit irrelevant but I've always liked to do my nails and be creative with them, one of the first posts was actually a nail art, which unfortunately I had to stop improving as my pastry course started. For health and safety reasons we can't have long nails let alone with chemicals on top. Since I'm just working part time there from now on I can do my nails on the days off which made me get so excited I bought tons o new polishes.

I can't remember the last time I brought skincare to the blog, and since Summer is here what a better opportunity to do so.

Starting with my morning routine, as lazy as I can be, I always go for the easy way. I start off with Bioderma Micellar Water (10£) or any other brand, and go over with my moisturiser that is either the Vichy Normaderm Beautifying Anti-Blemish Care (14,50£) or the Origins Gin-Zing Energy Boosting Moisturiser (24£). For the times my skin is not behaving as it should I pick the Vichy one since it combats blemishes, for other times my skin is alright or if the day is too warm I opt for the Origins option since it's refreshing and very light on the skin. I always finish with the Anthelios XL SPF50+ (20£) from  La Roche Posay.

From liquid to powder there's plenty of options, some more affordable than others, and for the most part differing in shade and intensity!

I managed to downsize to my favourites to 8, no judgments, I honestly love each one of these can't really skip any.

Thanks for reading,

Usually powder is not a thing people talk much about, unless they suffer from severe oiliness. I have combination to oily skin and as far as I remember powder was one of the very first makeup items I used, it still remains one of the most important to me!
With various options within my collection I find myself always gravitating towards the same ones, so I must share the goods!
