August Favourites 2015

Hey guys,

In today's post i am going to be sharing with you, everything i have been loving this month. Its a real variety of products and things, some are re-purchases and some are new discoveries!

Lets start off with something new..

1. Mac Please Me Lipstick

I have been wearing this gorgeous, nude creamy pink shade a lot this month! I just love it.


2. Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer

I highlight with this product in the shade 'Vanilla', i also use 'Custard'. I have used this product for a long time and absolutely love the consistency, coverage and finish it gives, so i have re-purchased it for the fourth time.

3. Mac Prep & Prime Highlight in the shade 'Light Boost'

I use this product with my Nars concealer to get my desired highlight and concealer shade. They are my dream team! I have also used this product for a long time and  i use  the shade Radiant Rose for any redness, still love it and recommend this product!

4. Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder

I have been using this for a long time, i used to use the compact but because I'm clumsy i kept dropping it and it would shatter. So i have since been using the loose powder, and it is so much easier to work with!

5. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Whiz in 'Taupe'

So as to every girl, brows are important! I have used quite a lot of brow products. and my favourite to date is the Brow Whiz in Taupe, it makes it so easy to fill in any sparse gaps. I repurchased it this month for the third time, because my brows just weren't the same without it.


6. Filofax The Original A5 Planner in Hot Pink

I am someone who needs to be organised, especially with Uni and work. I have been preparing to start my second year, so i have been using my Filofax a lot more this month and planning ahead. I would really recommend them, the planner makes my life so much easier and not to mention it being bright and colourful, they can also be personalised in so many ways. I am planning on a university/ organisation tips post, and a Filofax review soon, so stay tuned for that!

7. Victor & Rolf Bon Bon

I am a lover of strong, fresh, sweet and sexy scents (All different, i know) If i love it, i love it. Bon Bon is a very sweet, sexy scent and i have been loving it a lot this summer. I really recommend trying this, if you like sweet scents.

8. Yankee Candle in Cappuccino Truffle

Lastly, a candle. I have a serious love for candles and recently discovered Yankee's  I am very picky when it comes to scents, but i absolutely love this one! There is normally always a candle burning in my home.

I hope you enjoyed my August Favourites, let me know below what you have been loving :-)

Speak soon,

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit

Hello guys,


This evening's post is a review on the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit! I purchased this palette a few months ago in the shade 'Light to Medium'. I have used a lot of Anastasia products previously and really liked them, they are always high quality and extremely pigmented, so i wanted to try this popular contour kit!

I have used it a lot since then and really like it. The shades are extremely pigmented and there is a lot of variation in the palette. If you are looking for a powder contour kit, i would highly recommend this one! This kit would also be great for beginners.

I think its great for day-time looks and for 'full glam' looks also, depending on when you like to contour. I use the yellow 'Banana' to set my under eye concealer and i use Java and fawn shades for contouring.



The palette consists of three highlight shades including two pink shades and a yellow shade.
And three contouring shades of brown. There are two palettes available, the light to medium, and the medium to dark. The shades are really blendable and not chalky.

The palette retails for £39 in the UK.

Shades detailed below:

I would recommend the Anastasia Beverly Hills 'powder' contour kit, if you are looking for a light contour and highlight solution and prefer powder to cream contour. I personally prefer cream contour because of the finish. There is also a cream contour kit available in three shades, which i will be reviewing and comparing soon.


I hope you guys enjoyed this review!

Becca x Jaclyn Hill 'Champagne Pop' Shimmering Skin Perfector Review

                    "A limited-edition, creamy, luminizing powder to illuminate the face with a soft, pearlized glow"

             
Hello guys,


This evening's post is a review on the recently launched Highlighter 'Champagne Pop', a collaboration between Becca and Makeup Artist and Youtube Celebrity, Jaclyn Hill.  To create a new limited edition shade of their number one best-selling luminizer powder. I absolutely love this collaboration..the highlighter is exceptional and suitable for all complexions, which is what Jaclyn wanted to achieve. I think she's really inspirational and such a genuine person, which shines through and is reflected in this product, inspired by the luxurious lightness and spirited essence of champagne.

This highlighter has been so popular among beauty bloggers, Youtubers and makeup lovers. I was really excited when this was released, and could not wait to try it and review it for you guys!

The formula of Champagne pop, is the same Becca formula used in all other Becca highlighters.  Some of my absolute favourite highlighters are by Becca. I love the consistency, the 'wet' look finish and the quality of their products.

The shade of this shimmering skin perfector is really unique and really compliments fair skin tones. it is a soft, white gold shade with pinky peach undertones. As shown in the pictures, it is simply gorgeous! Its infused with light-reflecting pearls that beautifully catch the light and leaves the skin with a soft pearlized glow.

Apply this product to targeted areas, or simply sweep it up on the cheekbones and down the bridge of the nose for quick, radiant perfection. And a little goes a long way!

The highlighter retails for  £30 in the UK.

Overall, i absolutely love this Shimmering Skin Perfector and would thoroughly recommend it. Please subscribe to my blog and comment below.

Mac x Philip Treacy High-Light Powder Review

Source: Google

Hello guys,

Todays post is a review of Mac and Philip Treacy Highlight powder,



 As you may or may not know, i love a good highlight! So much that it has actually become a personal joke between my friends and i. (imagine the infamous Instagram high-light on 'fleek' picture,  afraid that's so me). But high-light completes the look, makes us feel good and who doesn't love a glow. Whether its under the eyes, or above the cheekbone, highlight is a great way to create a glow and brighten areas of the face that we want to bring attention to. There are many techniques, contour and highlight, strobing. Anyway, I'm sure you get the idea..

For a while now, i have been searching for an every day natural 'powder' high-light, for when i want a subtle  glow, to complete an every day makeup look. And For when i don't have time for full glam and my usual 'wet' highlight.  Well, i have finally found the product which is the Nude Pink high-light powder from this collection! And i have found, as with most highlighters, a little goes a long way.

Mac Cosmetics and designer Philip Treacy. London's leading Haute couture hat designer, i believe they represent a unique partnership. Treacy took inspiration from his work to create a fantastic collection.

This collaboration consists of two limited edition high-light powder shades, three lipsticks,  a mascara, a new fluid line and paint pot shade (Breathe). In this post, i am going to be reviewing the High-light powders, in the shades Nude Pink and Blush Pink.

Nude Pink is a champagne and light pink shade to create a subtle glow. The blush Pink is a light pink shade, both have a slight silver shimmer to them and they can both also be used for a subtle blush. The Nude Pink is my favourite out of the two shades. They are very similar as you can see from the swatches below,  but i prefer the nude because its something a little bit different.
         



They retail for £23 each in the UK, and $32 in the US.

Overall, i really like these high-light powders. They are extremely pigmented and are great for creating a subtle glow. I would recommend them if you are looking for an every day subtle high-light.
