September Favourites

There are many products I have been loving this month, but I managed to narrow it down to a nice little selection :) As per usual, it is a mixture of makeup, nail, body and skincare products, featuring some new additions and things I rediscovered after a long break. Let's get started.

Clarins Extra Comfort Foundation & Instant Concealer - review and swatches

Just when I thought that I can't love Clarins more than I already do, they brought out the most amazing foundation and concealer. I am absolutely blown away by both products and I have been reaching for them a lot in September. I love everything about them - the formula, the finish and the way they feel on my skin.

'Feeling Blue'

This post was supposed to be about a big selection of electric blue accessories, but the items I ordered from ebay haven't arrived :( The replacements are on their way, but I will have to wait another 3-4 weeks for them. I decided to prepare a blue themed post anyway and... I couldn't resist a matching electric blue manicure.

Health Tips for a Healthy Heart

One of the most important things that you can do for your health is to look after your heart. You only get one of these unless you need a transplant and it’s vital that you care enough for your heart health to avoid needing one of those. 

The pandemic has overshadowed the importance of heart health as we focused on respiratory health, and while we may be in the tail end of the pandemic right now, and it's not as prevalent as it was, knowing which angina treatment is available to you is so important if you are coping with a new diagnosis. You need to take better care of your heart, and that means understanding what steps you can take to make sure that your heart health is in tip top condition. Let's take a look at some of those healthy tips for a healthy heart that you need.

CK One Eye Shadows- Review and Swatches

CK One Eye Shadows* (£12.00 each)

I love eye shadows and they take up about 40% of my makeup storage, so I was very excited to give the CK One beauties a go. The packaging is unique, yet very simple and the colours are absolutely gorgeous! I was kindly sent a couple of shades to try out and I am very impressed.

Autumn Eye Shadow Palettes: Urban Decay, The Balm, Clarins, Barry M, MUA, Laura Mercier, Eye Of Horus

Autumn is probably my favourite 'makeup season' and as soon as the weather becomes a bit chilly, I find myself reaching for eye shadow palettes on a daily basis. They all deserve more love and I always  feel horrible about neglecting them (a tiny bit) in Spring/Summer. I went through my eye shadow stash and picked some gorgeous palettes with earthy, brown and golden shades. I love warm eyes in Autumn, especially with a touch of burgundy or green. 

The Repurchase: Origins Super Spot Remover Review

I very rarely repurchase skincare products, but a couple of gems made it to my 'repurchase list' and I simply can't live without them. I was asked to review the Origins Super Spot Remover by some of my readers, so I thought that starting a new series of posts, about some fab products I repurchased is a great idea.

Debenhams styling challenge: OOTD under £100

More mens fashion? Well, we were asked to take part in another great challenge and we couldn't say no. This time, the task was to style a full outfit under £100, taking advantage of Debenhams sales. 

Lancome Hydra Zen Gift Set Review

Lancôme used to be my go to brand when I first started using more expensive skincare and makeup and I still use some of their products regularly. My favourites include their Teint Miracle Foundation and Bi-Facil Make-up Remover. I was recently sent the Hydra Zen Gift Set* (£38.00) to try out and all the products left me quite impressed. I might become a Lancome addict again :)

£1 Primark Beauty Bargains: Liquid Liner and Sultry Lashes

While shopping in Primark for some Autumn/Winter pieces, I stumbled across two £1 beauty bargains. I picked up the Sultry Lashes and a Liquid Liner. I wasn't expecting them to be amazing, but they aren't bad either.
