Makeup Favourites

ad/pr| It feels so good to be writing an actual favourites blog post. Today’s one is the most authentic kind, because it's literally what I grabbed from my makeup stash and put on my face. Heavy on Rare Beauty, because I’m truly enjoying all the formulas. Here’s the breakdown, with all the links.

YSL Make Me Blush Liquid Blushers Review

YSL makeup is so iconic, it needs no introduction. The packaging is so beautiful and elegant, the formulas absolutely incredible, and the overall vibe screams luxury. I have been using the YSL Make Me Blush Liquid Blushers* (£33.00) for a while, and both are now staples in my makeup routine. Available in 6 skin adaptable shades, which blend into the skin seamlessly, these are the perfect addition to your makeup bag. Let's swatch!

Merit Retrospect L’Extrait de Parfum Review

I have to dedicate a full blog post to the Merit Retrospect L’Extrait de Parfum*. It is a very unique fragrance, and I completely fell in love with it! It's MERIT's debut fragrance, and the nose behind it - Fanny Bal definitely didn't play it safe. They took a risk , and in my opinion it really paid off. Retrospect comes in a 30ml format and it is priced at £79.00. Now let's dive into it!

Beauty Gifts with Beautifect

Beauty gifts can be a bit tricky, if you're not too sure what kinds of colours someone likes, what shade of foundation they need or what fragrance they usually wear. That's when beauty gadgets, accessories and everyday essentials come in handy! I was recently introduced to a fabulous brand called Beautifect, who are famous for their gorgeous Beautifect Box, but also offer a selection of accessories and essentials, which would make great Christmas gifts.

Giorgio Armani Si EDP Review

Giorgio Armani Si EDP* (£67.00) has been on my radar since I received a tiny sample of it with one of my beauty purchases, and I fell in love with it right away. After spraying myself head to toe with the vial, I knew I needed a full size bottle of Si in my life :) 

Plowden & Fallow Ophrys EDP review

As a huge fan of unisex fragrances, I was really excited to be introduced to the world of Plowden & Fallow! The home to one of Britain’s newer contemporary fragrance houses, located on the Plowden Estate in Shropshire, England. Plowden & Fallow offer high quality artisan luxury fragrances, shaving products and accessories for those who seek something more unique than your everyday department store brands. Inspired by great British traditions, folklore and eccentricity, the brand is the perfect choice for anyone who loves quintessentially British fragranced products with a modern twist. I was kindly sent a selection of fragrance samples to choose from and I was so impressed with every single one, I found it very hard to make a decision. But... I eventually settled on the beautiful Ophrys EDP* (£88.00) and I absolutely adore it. It is so unique!

Pixi Beauty Liquid Lip

It is no secret, that Pixi Beauty is one of my favourite makeup brands of all time. I adore their skincare too, but their MatteLast Liquid Lip* (£16.00) is my everyday beauty essential and I cannot live without the nude shades! I must go through at least 4 of the Pixi nudes per year, easily. I use these multiple times a day, so they will last you a long time, don't worry. Anyway... Let's dive into the formula.

Home Decor: pink accents in the bedroom.

I have been drawn to blush pink  colours lately and I decided to experiment a bit and add some pink and mauve accents to the greys and whites in the bedroom and I am in love with the way it all looks together. It's mostly thanks to the stunning new prints from, but also some new cushions etc.
