My A/W Fake Tanning Guide

I love a bit of fake tan, especially during the A/W season. It makes me feel more confident and adds a healthy glow to my face and body. Today, I would like to share some of my favourite fake tanning products I use and repurchase regularly, plus some new additions  to my routine.

The 'Carrie' Necklace

I usually go for statement necklaces, but I thought it was time to try something more dainty. I am not obsessed with Sex And The City or Carrie Bradshaw, but I quite like the idea of a name necklace, longs it isn't huge or tacky :)

Sephora Highlighting Compact Powder in Gold

Sephora Highlighting Compact Powder - Dore/Golden (£9.20)

First of all, I can't believe we don't have Sephora in UK. It's so unfair and... It doesn't make sense. Thankfully, I was able to get my hands on this gorgeous highlighter when my sisters were coming for a visit all the way from Poland. Sephora's own range is reasonably priced and this beaut was around the £10 mark. It is much cheaper in US and I believe that it was available in the sale for just $5!!!

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler Review

I have been meaning to order the Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler (£20.00) since I read about it years ago, but... I didn't really want to pay £20.00 for it. I kept buying cheaper curlers and guess what? They all fell apart after a couple of uses or didn't even curl my lashes properly. I am sure I spent much more than £20 on eyelash curlers in the past, so I should have bought Shu Uemura ones in the first place. They are definitely worth the hype and I am glad I decided to order them from Space NK.

Poison Ivy Halloween Eye Makeup Look and Hair Style

I am sooo excited to share this Halloween Makeup Look with you :) I was asked to take part in a hair styling challenge to recreate the Poison Ivy look, but I decided to add a couple of finishing touches, like contact lenses and cool lashes to make it more interesting. It was sooo much fun!

Love Me Beauty Box - October

I hope you are ready for another rave review of a beauty box :) haha. Seriously, I couldn't be happier with my October Love Me Beauty Box. Since the launch a couple of months ago, LMB did not disappoint with the product selection and quality. There is always something for everyone and most products are full size. Perfect! In October, I picked menu 3 and here are the fabulous products I received:

Healthy Eating Update

If you follow me on instagram, you probably know that I am obsessed with healthy food. I mention it on the blog too, but I should definitely talk about it more often. I get tons of emails asking me about food and recipes, but the biggest part for me is just about paying attention to what goes into my body. The "Neal's Yard Remedies Healing Foods" book, is perfect for those who are trying to make a change and eat 'better', or those who already enjoy a healthy diet and want to know more about certain foods and get some recipe ideas. 

Sigma Defining Eyes Palette By Tiffany D -Review, Swatches and Makeup Looks

Sigma Defining Eyes Palette* ( £47.95 via www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk)

I mentioned in some of my previous reviews, that I love the formula of Sigma's eye shadows. They are nicely pigmented, easy to blend and long lasting. As soon as I found out about the gorgeous Defining Eyes Palatte, I couldn't wait to try it and share my review on the blog. The palette is a collaboration with a youtuber Tiffany D and features eight eye shadows, a double ended eye pencil, two gel liners and a dual ended brush.

Little Treat: Diptyque BAIES Candle (review)

Diptyque Baies Mini Candle (70g, £20.00)

As soon as I realised that the Baies candle smells like blackcurrant leaves and roses, I had to have it! Buying the full size wasn't an option at the time, so I settled on the smaller, 70g version. It promises to burn for up to 30 hours, so it isn't actually that expensive. 

My husbands 'beauty' stash

As soon as you enter my bathroom, you can see that all beauty product on the shelves belong to me and my husband's only belongings are a toothbrush and an electric shaver. Typical. I have always been intrigued by my husbands simple 'routine' and I can't believe that it actually works for him. His skin looks great, he never gets breakouts and his complexion is glowing! What is his secret?
