Have you ever bought a good quality perfume thinking the scent will last but it doesn't? Me too. But I have discovered a few hacks to help the scent linger for longer.

MY 5 MINUTE MAKEUP ROUTINE

There is just some days where we only have 5 minutes to do our makeup at maximum and let me tell you, it does be a real task for me!! I could never get the concept of applying what I needed rather than what I wanted in that small time frame. But now I think I really have grasped the whole 5 minute quick job.

BEDSIDE TABLE ESSENTIALS

KIKO HAUL & REVIEW

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'd know that I am a sucker for inexpensive makeup. It's a serious win for me when a brand has inexpensive and good quality products.A brand that has been on my radar for years is Kiko. When I was in Italy with my class , I bought a load of Kiko products and I was not disappointed. So when I spotted their store in Spain , I had to pop in for visit of course.

THE HOLIDAY MAKEUP EDIT

It can be difficult for us beauty addicts to decide what we should and shouldn't bring on holidays in terms of makeup. If we cake ourselves then we just end of sweating and looking like a melting mess. Although if we bring too little then how can we doll ourselves up?! Ugh the probs we face.
Here is what I'm bringing this year in my bag;

3 TOP EVERYDAY EYESHADOW PALETTES

Everyone has certain eyeshadow palettes that are more neutral and daytime friendly. But that's not saying wearing a dramatic look isn't suitable either. I like a more neutral look during the day, myself.

MAKEUP REVOLUTION ULTRA CONTOUR PALETTE

Makeup revolution was always a brand I have heard of from other bloggers on Instagram but never tried. The packaging of any of their products was always enticing because they look perfect for a good pic!
I bought every single damn thing when my local chemist stocked up on Makeup Revolution.
Yes..I'm that kind of girl.

WHAT I'VE BEEN LOVIN'

Another month completed. another favorites post to be wrote. This month has been pretty hectic for me because of my final exams at the start of the month that lasted pretty much for most of June.
However, I did manage to rack up a few favorites.

How To Have a Summer Glow Even in Winter

There's nothing I like more than looking tan and glowy. That screams Summer to me. But is it possible to have this even in winter? Yes!

Urban Decay All Nighter Liquid Foundation

I bought this in hopes of using it for my Debs makeup (which I did) and instead of buying my shade 3.0 I went for 4.0 ...

How I Grew My Brows

A while ago I decided to care for my own brows. Waxing and tweezing is by going to be by me.

Empties

It's an achievement for me to finish a full product let alone this many.There is that many products in my storage that I don't finish a lot of them, which is brutal but truthful.

Favourite Lipsticks

I'm not a major lippie girl really, the bother of reapplying through out the day. Sometimes I get in a mood where I do put in the effort, mainly for parties or events as such. BUT when I have those moments I use these lipsticks.

Exfoliating 101

We all desire super soft and smooth skin but we can be quite lazy when it comes to maintaining our skin! Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin from the body and the results can be amazing. Now that winter has our skin dehydrated and lifeless, we should be taking extra care of it. 

What should we use for exfoliating?

There are many products and tools that can be used for exfoliating such as Lush' Ocean Salt, exfoliating gloves and brushes. 

How should we exfoliate? 

When exfoliating, use circular movements. Not only does it remove dead skin cells, it also stimulates your blood. 

How many times should we exfoliate? 

We should only exfoliate 2-3 times per week because we don't want to irritate the skin and create more problems. 

Follow up care after exfoliation?

After exfoliating, make sure to apply your favourite moisturiser to lock in moisture and keep that soft silky skin!

Palmers Cocoa-Butter Moisturiser

                          

Palmers is a brand that has been around for decades, my mam used it when she was younger also.

It's rich in Vitamin E which we all need because it acts as an antioxidant which may help protect your cells from damage. Although deficiency in Vitamin E is rare, can't do no wrong by adding it by moisturising your body. 

 I always smell a real chocolate scent anytime I apply it, obviously because of the cocoa in it.

I've been using this for at least 2 weeks and have noticed a significant difference in my skin. My dry, rough skin is gradually disappearing. I must say that I prefer this to the Nip+Fab moisturiser I have been using before and have mentioned on this blog. 

                                           What's your holy-grail moisturiser?

Fashion & Beauty Shopping Spree

                    

You know the drill... I shop, I spend and then I cry about how much money I've spent but it's worth it.
My week consist of school, work and study which only leaves me with Sunday as a relaxation day. I love spending Sundays rooting through aisles of various clothing items and shoving my way to back of Boots to find hidden gems. Last Sunday was no different.

Ardell 'Demi Wispies'
My favourite style of lashes are these babies! I love how they're not too full and dramatic so I can wear these whenever my lashes are just not good enough for an eye makeup look.

Soap & Glory 'For Youth' Moisturiser
I can't say that I've given this product a fair testing yet because I bought it as a back-up for when my other moisturiser runs low. I will be sure to review this product for you guys.

Soap & Glory Speed Plump OverNight Miracle Moisture Mousse

The pros of this product are 1.it's not heavy 2.My skin feels hydrated and smooth. 

Unfortunately for me there is a con, a small minor problem... I don't like the scent. 

I can put up with the scent so it's con isn't major.

Eylure Lash Applicator 

I am brutal at applying lashes and if I do manage to put them on, it's a miracle! 

Hopefully this tool will make life a lot easier on me haha.

  

Boiré Pore Strips

I purchased these before and could never get them to work for me but after watching a YouTube vid on a gurus 'pamper session' she convinced me to buy and retry. 

Primark Pink Knit Sweater

I am a sucker for pink sweaters! I just love them recently, knit is just a plus for this time of year. 

I am in love with the knit pattern on it and it's so cosy to wear. 

Primark Wide Leg Trousers

Now I usually wouldn't be drawn to anything like this but something in my mind screamed "Give it a chance" I seen these trousers and the lace top on a mannequin, baring in mind that the mannequin towered about 6 inches over me, it looked very sophisticated but not too serious.

Primark Lace Top

As I previously said for the trousers, these were paired together on a mannequin so maybe I can make it work. I definitely will be wearing a strapless bra under this because obviously it wouldn't look as appealing when you can see your straps. Too much information? Maybe but oh well.

Primark Black Suede Heels

I'm only 5"4 in height so I appreciate as much help in the height department as I can get. 

These heels are around 5 inches of pure bliss. They are comfortable and trust me I live for my comfort.

Not too bad in price either.. €18

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
