Real Techniques Bold Metals 300 Tapered Blush Brush

I am a massive fan of Real Techniques brushes and I use their standard range every time I do my makeup. Easily the best brushes on the market. The latest addition to the RT brush family is the luxury Bold Metals collection and it is simply stunning! More on the pricey side, but the quality is insanely good (judging by the blush brush).

How I deal with dehydration

Sometimes my skin goes a bit wild, especially during pregnancy. I try to drink as much water as I can and follow a good skincare routine, but I can't predict how my body will cope with certain things. I have been feeling quite dehydrated lately and here are the products I have been using to keep my skin happy.

Makeup Revolution Mermaids Forever Palette

I am a bit of an eye shadow palette hoarder (ok, it's extreme, I have a full drawer of them), but... I get excited about every new addition to my collection. When it comes to eye shadows (and most makeup), please don't ever think that cheap products are all bad quality etc. They can be just as good, or even better than some high end equivalents. The new Mermaids Forever Palette* by Makeup Revolution is a perfect example of a fantastic product at a low price and I am in love with all the stunning colours!

NEW! Benefit Porefessional License To Blot

There is a new addition to the Benefit Porefessional family - License To Blot*, an instant oil-blotting stick. I am a big fan of the Porefessional primer, so I couldn't wait to give this new interesting product a go. How does it work?

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. 

Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier EDP

I must admit - the new Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier EDP* arrived in style. One of the nicest deliveries I have ever received, complete with yummy macaroons, a personalised champagne flute, a scented candle and a mini bottle of bubbly. So thoughtful!

How To Relax After A Busy Day At Work

If you find you come home from work feeling worried and stressed, you’re not alone. However work stress isn’t just an inconvenience, it can also leave you with short and long term health conditions if you don’t deal with it properly. So many people are experiencing stress related conditions such as high-blood pressure, anxiety and digestive problems. In this article we take a look at some top tips for helping you to relax after a busy day at work and make your stress more manageable.

My simple hair styling routine + new tools

I don't use heat on my hair too often, but when I do, I always opt for soft curls. My hair is naturally poker straight and I am not a fan of that look, so I add some movement to it once a week. I don't know why, but it makes me feel much more feminine and confident. 

Dior Tie Dye Collection

When I first saw the images of Dior's Tie Dye Collection, I couldn't stop staring at the beautiful blushers. I am sure I wasn't the only one, haha :) They are stunning! The collection also features beautiful lipsticks, nails polishes, khol pens, an eyeshadow palette and more, to help you create a perfect Summer look.

Illamasqua To Be Alive Collection

Blue is quite a tricky colour when it comes to makeup, but... the two pieces I received from Illamasqua's To Be Alive Collection couldn't be easier to pull off - a gorgeous opalescent blue nail polish and a clear lipgloss with a bit of shimmer. Gorgeous!

Pur Minerals Pout Pens

 I really like lip stains and I remember a time when the only thing I wore on my lips was Benetint, I went through so many bottles of that stuff! I also stained many tops with it, so a tint in a pen/marker format, like the Pur Minerals Pout Pen* (£14.00) is a godsend! I was kindly sent two shades to try out and I am in love!
