My Concealer Collection: The best and Worst

     2 Comments

Hello, darlings!
Would you believe it that about 5 years ago I never even bought a concealer and only ever bought foundation on its own, I always seemed to look past concealers in the shop and go straight towards the lipsticks. I have learned so many things about makeup application over the years and also the concealers that I love, like and some I just don’t too. I have tried a few over the years and the ones in my collection I have right now I thought it would be good to give your informative information on each of them and if they are worth it.
Concealers are used if you want more out of your foundation and also if you want to conceal pimples, dark circles or uneven skin. For me personally, I used my concealer for my dark circles and also as a great base for my eyeshadow.

     16 Comments

Hello, darlings!
Is it me or are Revolution Makeup bringing out some banging makeup lately? I honestly can’t keep up with all the amazing collections they keep bringing out left right and centre.  Following on from my last purchase from Revolution which was the amazing fast base stick foundation I thought it was about time I tried something else from their new range to give a try.
Revolution has brought out a fair amount of new palettes lately including a palette I want to try out next called ‘Revolution X Soph Extra Spice’. Anyways onto today’s post which is about the fabulous Reloaded Newtrals 2 palette.

July Beauty Favourites

     12 Comments

Following on from last months beauty favourites post which was extremely popular I thought id share with you all the products that I just loved using this month. They are some new favourites and also some old favourites thrown in their too. Just like last month, it was super duper easy for me to choose what I was loving during this month! I love all of these.
The choices I made this month coincided with events I went too. As many of you might know I went to a Mehdi Celebration and also a family wedding so these products definitely made features on those days and helped keep my makeup on point and also in place all day long because is it me… or was this month too bloody hot? My thighs have suffered from so much chafing ouch lol

My Favourite Blushers

     2 Comments

Following on from My Favourite Summer Fragrances post I decided to show you all my favourite blushers that I am just loving right now! When it comes to blusher in summer I like to have a little bit over my bronzer to add a little pop of colour to my cheeks. My usual favourite shades of blusher have to be pinks and corals.
The blushers I have chosen are my current favourites in my collection and I am sure the list will change over time but for the time being these are the ones I am loving this hot summer ‘bring on the cocktails eh’

My family Mehndi Celebration

     2 Comments

Hello, darlings!
As some of you might know that I have had a busy few weeks and my social media hasn’t been as busy as we were all preparing for a family Mendhi and a wedding. Preparing took so much time and it is super surprising how much you need and how much needs to be planed out. It was a headache getting everything all sorted out but thank goodness everything was sorted out in time for us all and we had an amazing time at both events. I thought I would tell you all about both of the celebrations seeing as they were both amazing and so much fun. Seeing as the Mehndi happened before the wedding I think its best to post this one up first but fear not the wedding blog post will be up in the upcoming weeks.
Anyways a little background on a Mehndi for some of you don’t know what a mehndi is. A mehndi celebration and it is basically a pre-wedding celebration for many religions including Hindus and Muslims. During a Mehndi, you basically celebrate the upcoming marriage which is usually a few days after the Mehndi. Music is played, food is shared and basically, you have a fabulous time with your family and friends. Henna is applied to the bride and also to the women of the family. Celebrations usually happen at the bride’s house and can last late into the night. I know this isn’t always how everyone celebrates Mehndis but its how my family celebrate it and I am just saying how they do it as a rough idea for people who don’t know about it.

Trying out the Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow Palette

     1 Comment

Hello Darlings

I just love Urban Decay palettes and after using my heat palette I just had to add another to my collection to give a whirl to see if I loved it as much. Moondust has been out for a little while now but I got this a month or so back because I was waiting for it to go in a sale before I purchased just in case I wasn’t sure if I liked it or not for the money.

I remember when I first got my first urban decay haul and that was way back when I was 16 nearly 12 years ago, where has the time gone? I honestly don’t know. I loved the brand than when I first tried their products and still do to this day.
Urban Decay Moondust eyeshadow palette review
I have a variety of eyeshadow palettes but most of them are just neutral and none of them is sparkly like this palette. I love how unique this palette is because most glitter eyeshadows are either loose or are wet in a gel-like substance. So yeah super happy they are pressed eyeshadow glitters, less fall out woohoo!
