Au Naturel

Recently I purchased the Sleek I-Divine Au Naturel palette and I'm immensely pleased that I did! The shadows are really pigmented, especially the darker shades which I think I'll be using more this Fall &Winter. I think 'Toast' will be a beautiful transition colour in the crease and 'Moss' is just heaven. 

                   

                    

This is only my second purchase from Sleek and I continue to be amazed by the brand and their products. Hopefully I will be purchasing the other palette 'i-Divine Ultra Matte 1' for more fun looks so watch this space. 

 The only con of this product was that when I opened it, I was unfortunately met with a broken 'Bark'. Now I know this wasn't anyones fault in particular but I was a bit disappointed to say the least.

Have you tried any brands that you think should have more recognition? Tell me in the comments x

Next Level Nude

Hello lovelies, having a nice weekend I hope.. I know I am he-he. Today's post is a review of House of Holland & Elegant Touch's 'Next Level Nude' nails. As I've told you guys before, I'm a nail biter. Always have been, always will be! But I do love having nail length hence why I wear false nails.

So far, these nails have lasted longer than any other nails I've purchased in the past. Day three and still no looseness, fingers crossed they'll hold on for the week. I've received an endless amount of compliments on the almond shape nude saviours, yes I went there.
I purchased these from Boots for 11 euro I believe!

Achieving that Glowy Skin even In Winter.

In summer, our skin isn't that dry and flaky as it is in winter and as we're entering the colder months we've got to up our skincare game.

-I love to use the Nip+ Fab Glycolic Body Lotion. It's scent is really citrusy which reminds of oranges... Which reminds me of the summer months for some reason. But seriously it goes down a real treat on the skin!

-A useful tip to achieve soft and glowing skin is to drink hot water and lemon every morning when you wake up before your coffee or breakfast. Trust me I've seen the results in person, amazing!!!

-If I'm feeling a bit pale I'll reach for my Garnier Skin Naturals Summer Body Light Moisturising Lotion. I'm not a big fan of using false tan for everyday use so the bare amount of fake tan in this body lotion fits my liking to a T!
   
I've came across this brand called 'Aloha'. They offer all things food for healthy,glowing skin and other food products,such as protein bars,etc.If you're looking for some inspiration, you can check out their list of healthy recipes. Unfortunately they only ship within the US at the moment but are working their hardest to ship to us International people.

Soap&Glory Peaches and Clean Deep Cleansing Milk || review

                               

Hey beauties, today I'm doing a review because I haven't wrote one in ages and plus I have new products to try out and give an insight of my opinion on them. Today's review is on Soap & Glory Peaches and Clean Deep Cleansing Milk! Wow what a mouthful to say haha. 

I use this to remove my makeup as I hate using makeup wipes after I've learnt that they're bad for you, although I have the odd night that I'm too wrecked to go through the proper process. Hey, I'm human too.This cleanser is so easy to use and the smell is divine.. Like peaches (duh). 

I feel like it removes my makeup completely but I like to be pre-cautious anyways and I follow up with my Neutrogena Grape-Fruit cleanser. Both work hand-in-hand. 

It is suitable for all skin-types which I think is brilliant, instead of searching for a cleanser particularly for your skin type which can be work in itself. For €8 you can't go wrong in trying it out for yourself.

Soap&Glory are one of my go-to drugstore brands these days.

My Guide to Fall Clothing

I've probably stated the fact that I hate cold weather about a million times on this blog but it's true.

I layer up clothing in Fall and Winter like there's going to be a blizzard that will kill the whole population.. A bit over the top yeah? Yeah. 

Bomber Jackets 

        (Saint-Laurent bomber jacket €1,255)

Bomber jackets are a must this Fall, not only are they fitting and flattering at the waist but also cosy. I recently bought a bomber jacket for €29.95 from Stradivarius. 

Sneakers

            (Nike Roshe One Fly Knit Sneakers €113)

Everyone LOOOVES a good sneaker because they're practical and if you dress them up the right way, you can pull them off with nearly everything. I'll be purchasing the Nike pair above^^ and maybe the Adidas All-Stars.

Oversized Shirts

(Chicwish Lipstick Oversized Denim Shirt €38)

With oversized shirts you can pair them with leggings, skinny jeans or even tuck it into a skater skirt. Btw how cute is the lipstick design on this shirt? It looks so goooooddddd. (Heart eyes)

What do you like to wear in Fall? Let me know in the comments below! 

Fall Makeup & Skincare Haul 2015

Brrr! I can feel the cold weather just sweeping in already! I got the chance to go shopping on Sunday with my mam and sister, so naturally enough I spent more than I should have. F.Y.I I bought more beauty items than clothing but I knew that would happen because I can't step into Boots without a basket and I can't leave without a bag full.

Fleur De Force Individual Lashes & Eylure Pro-Lash Individual Lashes

I've never worn individual lashes but I hope they're not difficult to apply. I am useless at applying fake eyelashes, although I succeeded once for my 16th birthday. 

I seen Fleur on one of the boxes and just HAD to get it. Supporting fellow beauty gurus while I have the funds hehe.

House of Holland False Nails 'Next Level Nude'

Hands up fellow nail biters... I have always bit my nails ever since I could walk, guilty as charged. I've tried growing out my nails but I end up biting my nails when I'm watching TV or in class, it's gross really. I really love the feeling of long nails..especially on a night out. These will come in quite handy one of these days.

Nip&Fab Glycolic Fix Body Cream

Only know this brand from Kylie Jenner but never spotted it in my local Boots until the other day when I was rooting in the skincare. It was on the bottom shelf which I never pay attention to .. Go figure why i haven't tried this sooner. The cream states that it is a "moisturising + refining body lotion perfect for flaky or oily skin." So expect a review to come guys.

Garnier Moisture+ Nourish Daily a Rich Moisturiser 

I only ever use Garnier moisturisers, does the job and I recognise most of the ingredients. I have never tried this particular moisturiser but I'm presuming it will be alright. Keep you posted

Soap&Glory Peaches and Clean Deep Cleansing Milk & Hand Food

Soap&Glory have always had a place in my heart since the first time I tried 'Hand Food'! The scent is sweet and the results are amazing. I get dry hands quite easily from emerging them in water so much  in work. Many different products have not worked for my hands but this does and I will always love it.

'Peaches and Clean Deep Milk Cleansing Milk' is a 4-in-1 wash off product and is said to remove makeup. Now I used it last night and I liked it. Of course, I didn't  use this for washing my face, I used it for removing my makeup and then went in with my other cleanser to be on the safe side. 

Collection Sheer Loose Powder

For €3.99 I hope this works, make it or break it hunny. I can't wait to see if it is worth using because for the price you can't go wrong. I never used a loose powder before because I'm always dropping makeup on the floor, so stephanie + loose powder = disaster.

Rimmel Match Perfection Loose Powder

This was a little bit dearer than the previous powder but I purely bought this in case the Collection powder was a "bin-it" product. Gotta be safe guys, can't have my makeup melting off.( Which happened the other day..morto..)
