Cat Eye Liner Makeup Look with Gold Glitter Cut Crease

I got so many questions about this makeup look in my Instagram DM's, so I decided to do a quick blog post with links to the products I used to create the base and eye makeup. I am not sure if all of these are available, but I will list alternatives if they're not. 

AD: Summer Makeup & Beauty with Boots

AD - this is a paid collaboration with Boots.com

I always have a little switch up in my makeup bag, skincare stash and even in my perfume collection for the Summer, because sometimes you need sunshine, a holiday or a festival to pull off neon liner or glitter makeup on your face. I am not afraid of taking risks though and you will always see me trying new trends and colours - I just love it! Today I am sharing some of my Summer beauty picks and a fun and easy makeup look which would be perfect for a festival or if you simply want to add a pop of colour just for fun!

OOTD: Pink Jacket + Dream Prada Sunglasses

I am such a cliche, wearing pink on Valentine's Day, eh? Well... I bloody love this Lovedrobe Roll Sleeve Safari Jacket*(£40.00) and I just couldn't resist wearing it on V-Day! 

New makeup bits from Soap & Glory

I am not gonna lie, I am becoming more and more obsessed with Soap & Glory! From their incredible bath and body products to cult makeup staples, I can't get enough! They released these stunning palettes and blushers a while ago and I think they would be perfect as stocking fillers for Christmas!

My current go to makeup look.

Since Zachary started school I have been wearing makeup Monday to Friday, as I just can't face new people without some slap on! Maybe I will relax more in a few months, but at the moment, I ain't going nowhere without winged liner, haha :) This look has been my go to lately and here's what I used to create it.

Lancome Grandiose Bendable Liner Review

I am one of those people who is faithful to one liner and keeps repurchasing it. I try a lot of new formats and formulas, but I always stick to my one and only Bourjois Liner Pinceau in Black. It has been my Holy Grail for the past 7 years and I don't think it will ever change. There aren't many liners that even compare to my favourite, but the new Lancome Grandiose*(£23.00) is now officially my second choice and I adore it!

Bourjois Spring 2016

A bit late to the party with these, but better late than never and just in time for Spring! The new Bourjois releases include a new City Radiance Foundation, a Radiance Reveal Concealer, new shades of nail polish, lip velvets and eyeshadow quads.

Christmas Gift Guide 2015: Stocking Fillers

It's finally time to crack on with my Christmas Gift guides. Yay! I am starting with stocking fillers, as it is probably my favourite part. From makeup and skincare, to Christmas crackers and yummy treats.

NEW! Bourjois A/W 2015

I mentioned the new Bourjois launches on Instagram a couple of times and I was hoping to have the time to swatch them all for you, hence why I waited so long with this post. I did manage to swatch the lipsticks and one of the foundations, but the 2 month old dictator I gave birth to recently didn't let me finish, haha :) I hope you can forgive me this time. It's funny how a 4 year old and a newborn run my schedule these days. I will update the rest of the swatches when I can. Now let's talk about the gorgeous products!

My 5 Product Face

I very rarely have time to do a full face of makeup these days, but I became a pro at doing my makeup in the car, really quickly. I usually go for only 5 products and keep it very simple. I used to be the kind of person who doesn't leave the house without a smokey eye, so it's a big change, but I am now used to looking more natural.

Bourjois Summer 2015

Summer wouldn't be complete without beautiful new makeup collections and the new releases by Bourjois are to die for! From light gel blushers to subtle glosses and pastel nail polishes, they have all your Summer must-haves covered.

My everyday makeup routine (video).

I wasn't sure if I should add my first ever 'get ready with me' video, but hey... I have been meaning to do it for over 2 years now, so I am not going to wait any longer. No, it's not a chatty tutorial, but I am anxious putting it out there anyway. This look is my 'everyday face' at the moment, so I though it would be fun to film it. 

Bourjois La Laque Nail Polishes

Don't you love a good nail polish? The 'one coat wonder' type that dries pretty quickly and lasts well on the nails? Well... The new Bourjois La Laque Nail Varnishes* (£6.49) offer exactly that and they come in really cool packaging too. Like all Bourjois products, these are also very affordable and often on offer in Boots and Superdrug. Amazing!

Bourjois Aqua Laque Lipsticks

I am a bit late to the party, but I finally got round to reviewing Bourjois Aqua Laque Lipsticks* (£8.99 each). They look very similar to the Rouge Edition Velvet Lipsticks, but the formula and the finish are totally different. If you love glossy lips, you have to give these a go!

What's In My Makeup Bag

I haven't done a 'What's in my makeup bag' post in ages, so here is an updated one. I wanted to show you exactly what was in the bag, so I photographed all the contents after a day out, without planning anything or adding/removing products. It's the real deal :) 

New in from Bourjois

I am a bit late to the party with these, but as a Bourjois addict I have to share my thoughts with you. The most exciting release for me is definitely the ultra black Liner Pinceau, but I also I fell in love with the new Colorband Shadow/Liner Sticks and the new shades of Color Boost Lip Crayons. Great value for money and stunning colours.

Current Non-Beauty Favourites

Oh my... I can't believe my last post was published on the 24th of February. Oooops! I am blaming it on my pregnancy... I don't have any beauty favourites to share with you this month, but... I have plenty of random bits and bobs to talk about. From home fragrance to colouring and tea :)

New makeup bits + makeup look

My makeup collection is a bit out of control, but I am always excited to try new products or brands. I am sure you can relate to my obsession, haha :) The newest additions to my stash are the Laura Geller Primer, a couple of Topshop gems from Feelunique, Claudia Louch Foundation and Powder, some of new Bourjois launches and Benefit Rollerlash. With lots of new bits and bobs to try out, I decided to create a quick makeup look as well, just in case you missed my face :) 

Christmas Gift Guide: Stocking Fillers + Giveaway

Stocking fillers are definitely my favourite gifts to write about. I included a selection of products for every budget. From very affordable crackers to more luxurious pieces, including body care, makeup, fragrance and more. I am also giving away a little NEOM gift set :)

New From Bourjois

How stunning are the new Bourjois releases? They landed just in time for Christmas and most importantly - all the products are very affordable. That's why I love good quality drugstore brands. You don't spend a fortune, but you still get amazing results!
