ACNE PRONE SKINCARE ROUTINE

As we come to the end of 2016, I'm happy to say I have finally nailed my skincare routine. It hasn't been easy and I've tried a few products along the way but I've finally found a routine that works for me and my combination, acne prone skin. 

TOO FACED BORN THIS WAY FOUNDATION

Since the end of October, I have been using the Too Faced Born This Way Foundation. After a good amount of testing, I'm excited to report back to you with my thoughts and feelings. Long story short = I love it.

Ready to put some colour back into your face? Don't worry, I'm not referring to anything strenuous like exercise, I'm talking about the new Lancôme Cushion Blush Subtil. 

HOT PICKS FROM THE BODY SHOP

The Body Shop have been bringing it recently when it comes to makeup. I have always been a fan of their skin/body care but had never given their makeup collection much attention.

I'm excited to write this post about my first ever facial. Yes, I have somehow reached the ripe old age of 23 without having a facial - I'm ashamed.

BIRTHDAY BEAUTY PICKS

Earlier this week I turned 23 *sigh*. But getting older seemed to leave me with an abundance of Space NK gift cards, so I'm not complaining. I took the opportunity to buy myself some luxury beauty items that I definitely wouldn't normally splash out on, so I wanted to share them with you.

ONE BRAND SKINCARE?

Two weeks ago, I decided to invest in my skin care routine. For the past couple of year's I have been a strong believer that great skin care is the basis of flawless make up and before I knew it I found myself at the Kiehl's store in Covent Garden.

VOGUE FESTIVAL, KIM KARDASHIAN WEST & ALEX STEINHERR

 

Yesterday I attended the Vogue Festival and a fabulous talk by one of my all time beauty icons Kim Kardashian West and makeup artist extraordinaire Charlotte Tilbury. Since picking up a ticket a month or so ago, I've been waiting patiently for the day to come around. 

MY CHARLOTTE TILBURY COLLECTION

Confession time: I am obsessed with Charlotte Tilbury. Since launching her range a couple of years ago she has been a firm favourite on my beauty list, so I thought I would share my now rather large (and growing) collection with you. 

BOBBI BROWN X STYLIST MAGAZINE

I'm going to keep this post short and sweet. Yesterday I attended the Stylist Magazine event at Selfridges with the iconic beauty brand founder, Bobbi Brown. Of course, I was so excited to attend and be in the presence of such a significant figure to the makeup industry.

When it comes to girl problems, the most annoying has to be oily roots. I know that washing my hair everyday is only going to make it worse, so to prolong my hair in-between washes I always reach for my trusty Batiste Dry Shampoo.

SACHAJUAN OVER NIGHT HAIR REPAIR

Rejoice oily hair girls, a hair treatment has finally arrived that will nourish your hair without leaving a greasy residue.

Say hello to Sachajuan Over Night Hair Repair. The first leave in treatment I have ever used that didn't leave my hair feeling oily. This a water based gel which gets to work while you sleep.

COLOURPOP ULTRA MATTE LIP: LIMBO

I, like thousands of other people was left disappointed when the Kylie Lip Kit sold out in what felt like 0.0000001 seconds. I had been waiting for her to drop the gorgeous rich brown shade after seeing her where it to NYFW. After searching and searching online for a similar shade, I saw YouTube Queen Desi Perkins mention this dupe on snapchat.

NARS ALL DAY LUMINOUS WEIGHTLESS FOUNDATION

Move over Nars Sheer Glow, there's a new holy grail foundation in town. After a month of using the All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation, I have to admit it has shot straight to the top of my favourites list.

London, Abu Dhabi and Stockholm. Unfortunately, I've only been to one of those cities but these three shades have made the top of my list from the NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams.
