WISHLIST

Hello my loves,

So today I thought it would be fun to do a wishlist of some of my beauty picks. This year has been incredible with some of the biggest launches and the beauty industry has grown so much.

There have been so many collaborations and new releases, so I thought i would pick 5 products to go into my wishlist, hoping to soon get my mitts on.

1.  FENTY BEAUTY Pro Filt'r Hydrating Longwear Foundation in 330

Fenty beauty... omg can we take a minute to appreciate the queen Rihanna. She has smashed it with all products that have been released for Fenty and I'm so excited about this one. A lot of people loved the pre filt'r foundation that was initially released, however, its matte formula was not suitable for dryer skin tones, so Rih actually listened and released a hydrating formula. I am obsessed with anything that will give my skin a healthy glow look. I have heard nothing but great news on this foundation so I'm hoping to try this out soon.

2. ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS- JACKIE AINA PALETTE

Jackie, Jakie, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie! Jackie, Jakie, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie, Jackie! This palette retails for £46 and wow this is the most iconic collaborations I have ever seen. Jackie Aina is one of the funniest, down to earth YouTubers I know and I know that every colour in this palette will be brown girl friendly. Anastasia Beverly hills formulas never fail to smash it out of the pond so I am so eager to try this out.

3.  FARSALI - Liquid glass

Ok, so this product is not makeup, but is essential before applying makeup! It is a radiant skin serum and is perfect si you are wanting to achieve the perfect glass skin. It contains Hyaluronic Acid to replenish moisture and plump the skin. Farsali always kill their releases, and their products are magical! I really want this product as I am such a fan of the glass skin trend.

4. ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS- LOOSE SETTING

Powder

Anastasia knows their products inside out so I know they have made a killer product with heir new loose setting powders. I am always on the hunt for a good powder, it is a sale in your makeup kit! They have released a couple of shades, however, the banana shade is something that I'm eyeing up as its a brightening powder especially fro under the eyes.

5.  HUDA BEAUTY Life Liner

HUDA is releasing product after product. seriously Huda, take all my money please. I was so surprised with this latest release. Huda Beauty’s dual-ended eyeliner has you covered whether you’re nailing the cat-eye flick or a dramatic smoked-out look. There is a liquid tip and a creamy pencil end – both of which are intensely black, matte and can be trusted to stay put without smudging! I mean everyone needs a good eyeliner, and this is supposed to be super black and super long-lasting, which is what I need as I always feel my eyeliner smudges off after a few hours. For £22 you can't go wrong.

That's all for my wishlist folks.

March Favourties

Hello, there my lovelies! I hope you all are having a lovely day. For once, I can honestly say I really don't know where the days are going. We are at the end of March and the beginning of April 2018 is nearly here! It has been very speedy indeed. I'm so excited for spring to come through as well the sun to make an appearance because the weather in Britain has been very dull, to say the least! I can't wait to whack out my summer wardrobe and put my knits away. I’m sure April will be a whirlwind with a lot of events coming up and exciting projects. 

I must admit that I have been loving the same products that I mentioned in my Feb favourites as well, but there are a few odd items that I have been loving this month as well ( I also thought I should categorise the favourites). So without further or do, keep on reading...

Beauty

• NYX soft matte lip cream 'toulouse' (£6.00): Now I picked this beauty up recently when I went shopping in Stratford. I heard about this product on Instagram when NYX announced that they were adding 12 new shades to their empire of lip creams and I couldn't help myself, but go and check them out! I put my hands up and honestly say that I cannot put this product down. It is such a beautiful mauve nude, which looks stunning on tanned skin. At first glance, you wouldn't think much off it, but once you apply it on your lips, you will thank me for recommending this product. I love the NYX lip creams in general, the formula is so comfortable, does not crack, stays on all day and is super affordable. what else could you possibly want?  

• BECCA backlight priming filter (£32.00): I picked up this product of the Cult Beauty website cause I really wanted to try out new primers as I only have a few in my collection. I was really drawn to this product because of the fact this claimed to bring light and dewiness to the skin, which I needed! I felt like I was missing that healthy glow to my face, but this product certainly gave that missing element. I take a generous pea-sized amount and work it into the skin just after applying my moisturiser. I let it sit for a minute or two, and then add my foundation on top. It just gives you that J-Lo glow girl!!! It gives that instant hydrated, boost of radiance as well as blurring away pores and imperfections. It is essentially a filter in a bottle and makes your foundation look flawless and smooth. I totally reccommend this product if you are on the hunt for a good pimer.

Fashion

• MISSGUIDED Teddy coat (£55.00): This jacket I have been obsessed with for the last 2-3 months. I literally wear this 24/7. It is perfect for chilly days and adds an edge to any outfit you are wearing. The great thing is that it is comfortable yet chic and stylish all at the same time. I have seen nearly every beauty blogger rock their teddy coats in all different types of ways. I have certainly been on the teddy coat bandwagon and have worn mine out multiple times. It goes with nearly everything in my closet and is perfect to throw on!

• Vans Women's Old Skool Trainer | Black / White (£54.99): These trainers I have not stopped wearing throughout March. Again, it is the essential piece that I think everyone should add to your collection. These trainers are super comfy and I love the edge it adds to any outfit. Whether you're wearing jeans and a jumper or a summer dress/skirt, these add the perfect touch. These trainers compliment any outfit and are so on trend right now!

Randoms

• Accessorize silver rings (£18.00): I have been loving silver jewellery recently, and I have been obsessed with stacking little dainty rings. They add such a nice touch to anything that I'm wearing and I just wear them constantly. I was never really into rings but during March, I have been hooked to say the least.

Songs

• Khalid feat Normani - Love Lies

• Tinashe - Faded Love

• B Young - Jumangi

Top 5 Christmas Advent Calendars

Hello everybody, so today I have something a little bit different.

 That's it for today's post! I hope this helped some of you find your 2017 beauty advent calender. I will be doing some Christmas inspired outfit posts so keep an eye out for that! Take care x

Are you FAUX real?

Hey, my loves! Hope you all are doing well. Today I have an exciting blog post for you all, it's a review on the most anticipated foundation ever - yes you guessed it right, its the HUDA beauty #FauxFilter foundation! I received it a few days ago and I have been obsessed, so I thought it would only be right to do a review and demo for you guys (i also made a video for my Youtube channel so make sure to check that out too!)

A little bit about the foundation...

    (With Flash)

It is a full-coverage velvety foundation, available in 30 shades which is 10 fewer shades than the Fenty Foundation, however it still offers a skin tone spectrum far wider than most high-street and high-end beauty giants! There's definitely a shade for everyone. It claims to give you a flawless long-lasting look in just one application.It is packed with ultra-refined pigments claiming to hide blemishes, conceal imperfections, and camouflage dark circles. It retails at £32.00 and can be found in Selfridges, Harrods or Cultbeauty for those who live in the UK.

 

     (Photo above- Without Flash | Photo Below- No Editing)

So what does it do exactly?...

This intelligent liquid foundation blends seamlessly with skin and dries to a radiant matte powder finish that looks luminous, not dry or cakey. This product is enriched with Argan Oil which provides hydration and nourishment for the skin (double-win). It's this fade-proof formula that blends seamlessly into the skin, simultaneously working to improve skin texture. It claims to give flawless full-coverage with just one pump which you can see above...it definitely does.
 

My opinions...

I ordered my foundation of the Cult Beauty website, therefore I had to guess my shade (bit risky). Luckily HUDA released a shade chart that i was able to compare other foundation shades such as the Kat Von D and NARs foundation to find the correct shade. I picked Brown Sugar 410G – which is suitable for tan skin tones with golden undertones. I also love how each foundation was named after an item of food which shows Huda's personal touch to the foundation line.

When I received the foundation, I was absolutely amazed at the quality of the product. It comes in a plastic container, however, it looks and feels expensive (perfect for travelling). The foundation comes with a pump which I must say is excellent as it allows you to take total control of how much you want to pump out, in other words, it doesn't come out all at once which I've experienced in the past.

Secondly, I noticed the texture was quite a thick consistency which is similar to the Kat Von D - Lock it foundation. As you'd probably expect,  it is quite thick and high coverage BUT it does not look cakey what-so-ever! I'm really impressed by the formula. It gives a flawless coverage, hiding all my scars and pigmentation, yet it still looks natural.The finish of this product is matte but not chalky and thanks to the argan oil, it provides a protective, nourishing layer over the skin.

This foundation also smells insaneee! I have never experienced any other foundation that smells like perfume apart from this one. I think HUDA really has thought about every single detail of the product. I also must mention that this foundation ain't going anywhere! None of that slipping and sliding down the face business, this foundation clings on for dear life (in a good way!)

My final verdict...

This product is all your skin prayers answered in a bottle. You need this in your life. This foundation line is perfect in every way, including the colour range, undertones of the foundation, consistency, application and finish. The name says it all! It honestly looks like a real-life filter on your face, and who doesn't want that?

Brown Smokey Eye

I've never tried doing a brown smokey eye but I fell in love with how it looked and not being dramatic as a black smokey eye. This look is perfect for a night-out or even drinks with your girlfriends. I feel like you can even get away with this during the day as it's not as harsh as using black which would be too heavy for the daytime. For this look the brown eye shadow is from the Makeup Revolution Ultra Eye Contour Light and Shade palette which is super affordable for everyone. For the base I used the L'Oreal Paris True Match Foundation in Golden Amber and my all time favourite Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer. I decided to 'bake' under my eyes and under my cheekbones to make sure it doesn't crease using the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder.

For the eyebrows I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade, Maybelline Master Ink Eyeliner for the winged liner and for lashes Kiko Unmeasurable Length Mascara. I used the Hoola Matte Bronzer by Benefit for bronzing and for blush Peaches by MAC as I wanted something warm-toned. For highlight I used MAC soft and gentle and set this all using Makeup Revolution Pro Fix Spray.

I lined my lips using Spice lip-liner by MAC and used Velvet Teddy also by MAC which is the perfect nude shade for similar skin tones to mine.

If you re-create this look, don't forget to follow me on social media so I can see them! x

 

 

Zendaya Inspired Makeup Tutorial

I came across this picture of Zendaya (woman-crush <3) and I knew I HAD to recreate it as it's the perfect look for this summer. This look is perfect for summer nights-out or even to a festival. I love having a glow in the summer and this look just screams golden glow (who doesn't want that?) I am in LOVE with this gorgeous bright orange lip colour which ties the whole look together and works beautifully with the golden tones on the rest of the face. This look requires few products which I have listed below and is so quick and easy to recreate. I love how effortless the eye makeup is and how flawless the skin looks which totally gives me summer vibes...

Glam Valentine's Day Date Night Look | Pink and Purple

Hello everyone! Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I wanted to create a look that was perfect for date night or even if you're single and celebrating with your girlfriends! Instead of going for the typical red-lip makeup, I chose instead to use pink and purple which is just as feminine. I love how this turned out and I hope you all try and recreate the look regardless of what you're doing! xx

 

First of all I moisturised my face using my Simple Face cream which I have talked about in my skincare post. I then went in with the Benefit Porefessional Primer to create a smooth base and to prevent my skin becoming oily throughout the night.

 

Next for foundation I used my Nars Sheer Glow foundation which I'm absolutely loving right now and has the perfect coverage without looking cakey! For my base I used a damp Beautyblender  which I also used to apply the concealer with.

For contour, I used a cream contour which I applied to my cheekbones, around my forehead and down the sides of my nose and used the lightest shade in the palette under my eyes in a upside down triangle shape and down the bridge of my nose. I then blended this out using my Beautyblender and set the contour with the Hoola bronzing powder whilst also setting the highlighted areas with the Laura Mercier secret brightening powder. For blush I used the Milani Luminso which is my absolute favourite. Once I finished most of the base I set my concealer with the brightening powder and moved onto the eyes.

For the eyes I used a light brown shade as my transition shade so that the eye shadows will blend together with no harsh lines. After applying the brown shade I used a dark purple shade from the Sleek eyeshadow palette just under the brown shade in the crease. These eye shadows are highly pigmented so it's important to use a light hand. For my lid I used a shimmery pink shade (Bordello) from the Urban Decay Shadow box and used that over the entire lid. I then went into the lighter purple shade (Tornado) and applied it into the crease so the pink and purple were blended nicely. I wanted the pink on the lid to pop more so I dampened the brush and applied more pink on the lid. Under the eye I used the dark purple shade from the Sleek palette again to smoke out the bottom lash line but added a touch of Flash (bright purple) from the Urban Decay palette which I absolutely loved! I wanted a clean cut with the eyeshadow so I took a makeup wipe to clean out the edges and make it sharp!

Next I used my Master Ink eyeliner to create my signature wing look and applied mascara to my top and bottom lashes. Recently I'm loving using individual lashes since they look more natural as well as being so much easier to apply on the eyes!

I filled in my eyebrows using the trusty Brow Promade in dark brown by Anastasia Beverly Hills and an angled eyeliner brush.

I knew for this look I wanted to go for a pink lip but still making the eyes the main focus. Initially I applied the Kat Von D lipstick in Beloved and found it just too bright for the look so I applied Smoked Peach by Revlon to tone down the pink and was pleased with how it turned out. Also I forgot to use a lip pencil so I just lightly lined my lips using Spice lip pencil.

I then finished the look with my favourite part, highlighter! I decided to use the shades Mimosa and Starburst from the Anastasia Glow Kit for my cheeks and the inner corners of my eyes and as you can see that highlighter is BOMB!!!

Last but not least, I wanted the makeup to last the whole entire night so I took my Makeup Revolution setting spray and gave a good 3-4 sprays all over the face to make sure it didn't budge!

I'm in love with the co-co!

Coconut oil has been a staple beauty product of mine for over 2 years and let me tell you girl, there isn’t one thing that this product can’t do. It’s an all in one holy grail product!

There are a lot of coconut oil brands out in the market at the moment, but make sure to pick raw organic count oil as this is not processed.

Sister & Co. Cold Pressed Raw 100% Organic Coconut Oil - £6.45

Lucy Bee Extra Virgin Coconut Oil  - £12.00

Coconut Merchant Organic Raw Extra Virgin Coconut Oil 1litre  - £21.99

I’m going to be sharing some of my tips on how I use coconut oil which can change your beauty regime (you’ll never go back)!!!

It’s a natural skin moisturiser 

Coconut oil can be used on the skin as a natural moisturiser! just rub the solid coconut oil (it’s usually solid at room temperature) and work it in between the palm of your hands. This will warm up the product which you can then apply as a liquid onto your skin. It absorbs quickly and is non-greasy! if you have super dry skin in the winter, you can wash your face at night, pat it dry and work a pea size amount onto your face. Wear this as a mask for 5- 10 mins and wipe off any excess! your skin will feel as smooth as a baby’s butt! Try this, I promise you that you will never go back to your old moisturiser.

Wrinkle Reducer 

Coconut oil can also be applied around the eye area to reduce wrinkles. Just dab a small amount around your eyes before bed to help fight pre-maturing raging. Then just was up the next day and rinse off and carry on with your normal morning routine!  

Natural Makeup Remover 

Work a small amount in your fingers and apply all over your face to remove any makeup/dirt! this works wonders, it even works on my waterproof mascara! work in circular motions and this is great for sensitive eyes as this will not sting or irritate! Wash off with warm water or use a warm flannel. It’s as easy as 1,2,3!

Homemade Toothpaste 

Mix equal parts of coconut oil with tumeric powder to get an at home whitening paste! Tumeric may seem intimidating but I promise you it won't stain your teeth! make sure to use an old toothbrush and brush your teeth normally with the oil and turmeric mixture! do this once a week!

Lip Balm

I suffer from majorly dry chapped lips in the cold! coconut oil has changed the game, just apply this like you would as a lip balm, it is super moisturising, provides a hint of sun protection and most importantly doesn’t have any chemicals (safe to consume). l love to mix coconut oil with different food flavouring like vanilla, peppermint, strawberry and you can make yourself a little pot at home! just add a 3-4 drops of your flavouring into 2 tablespoons of coconut oil! ta-daaaa! Instant super-moisturing awesome lip balm made by you!

Naturally Tinted Lip Gloss or Lipstick 

You can naturally tint the lip balm recipe above by adding a pink, red or any colour of your choice eyeshadow! just scrape some of your eyeshadow or pigment into the coconut oil, mix and you can make your own customised lipstick! The more parts of coconut oil you use to eyeshadow will dilute the colour! If you want a more intense colour make sure you use less coconut oil! 

Natural Mouthwash 

Swirl some coconut oil in your mouth for around 1 minute as this contains antibiotic properties of coconut oil destroy the bacteria that causes tooth decay, improve the health of your teeth and gums. Swish 1 tablespoon of coconut oil immediately after rising in the morning. Spend 10 minutes swishing and spit the oil out! 

Natural Hair Mask

This mask is one of my favourites! Coconut oil is brilliant to moisturise and strengthen hair. Depending on the length and texture of your hair, you may need anywhere from 2 teaspoon to 4 tablespoons of coconut oil.  I like to use 3 tablespoons and warm it up in the palm of my hands! Work this into the lengths of the hair and also massage it into my scalp to help blood flow and prevent hair loss! I keep the make on for aorund 30 mins-1 hour, then wash out with your favourite shampoo and conditioner like normal (yes, i will upload a haircare post sooon)!! Your hair will look and feel so heathy!

Hope you can take on board some of my tips and hope it helps <3
