Kylie Jenner Inspired Makeup Look / 90's Lip

No matter how hard we try, we can't really avoid reading about the Kardashians and seeing them in the media. They are absolutely everywhere and even someone like me, who couldn't care less about 'celebrities' gets a little bit of inspiration from them sometimes. After all, they are famous for their flawless makeup and I am a makeup addict. The latest Kardashian craze is the 'Kylie Jenner Lip' which is basically a 90's inspired nude lip. I gave it a go and  paired it with a very subtle brown and beige smokey eye, winged liner and big lashes.

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!

Sunday Manicure: Bourjois Laser Manicure Toppings


I have been experimenting with the new Bourjois Laser Manicure Toppings* (£5.99) in the past week and I quite like the effect I can achieve with just one coat. The range consists of three shades: Blue Neon, Aqua Purple and Sun Scales and the last one is definitely my favourite. 

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 :)

Everyday Makeup Look / The Face Of Fragrance Direct Entry


I very rarely enter blogger competitions, but I couldn't possibly ignore this one :) 'The Face Of Fragrance Direct Competition' is hosted by Fragrance Direct (one of my favourite online shopping destinations) and The Sunday Girl (one of my favourite beauty bloggers), so it would be rude not to take part :) I wasn't sure what type of entry I should go for, but I thought that showing you my 'Everyday Makeup Look' in a form of a step by step tutorial would be perfect. Let me know what you think :) 

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!

Highlighting Concealer Pens


Highlighting concealer pens are probably one of my favourite beauty inventions ever! They are super easy to use, perfect for a touch up on the go and totally hassle free. I have a nice selection of these in my makeup stash, from drugstore to high end. Most of them are 2 in 1 products and help to conceal and highlight at the same time. I really like the pens I have tried so far and I think that every girl needs at least one in her makeup bag.

£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. 

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 :) 

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 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.

Sunday Manicure: Floral nail art with Bourjois Dotting Tool


Hi everyone. I hope you had a lovely weekend. I was very busy redecorating our bedroom and I can't wait to share the outcome with you next week :) I am still waiting for a couple of things to be delivered, but it all looks really nice already. 

Anyway... :) This weeks manicure is a mixture of pastels and florals with a touch of red. I tried to match my nails to one of my cardigans :) haha. I used Essie's Mint Candy Apple, Bond With Whomever, Hip-Anema and a Bourjois Dotting Tool*. 

NEW Bourjois Rouge Edition 12 Hour Lipsticks

I love Bourjois - I really, really do! Their bases and concealers are regular repurchases for me and the lip products are some of my all time favourite formulas and colours. The new 12 Hour Lipsticks* wowed me as well and I can't get enough of the nude shades. There is also a shade revival of Pamplemousse, back by popular demand.

Pink Makeup Look and Nails for Valentine's Day


Ooops I did it again... I just can't resist wearing pink on Valentine's Day. Pink lips, pink and violet eye makeup, pink nails... I love it! I was worried that it might be a bit too much, but I think it looks ok :) I am not too sure about the lashes though. Let me know what you think :)

More Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipsticks

I reviewed six  Bourjois lipsticks from the Rouge Edition Collection last month (here) and I am still in love with the formula. Today I have four more shades swatched: two nudes, a peachy pink and a bright fuchsia. 

Bourjois Liner Pinceau 16h in Black


I have been repurchasing this liner for over 6 years and it is the best one available on the market in my opinion. Nothing compares to it! I think I went through 20 already!!! I don't use mascaras and eyeliner for longer than 6 months so even when it isn't empty I buy a new one. If I use it every day it lasts for 5-6 months anyway.

The quality of this products is amazing! The colour is jet black and it stays on all day without smudging. The flexible brush makes the application very easy and I can create a perfect flick every single time. I hate when an eyeliner brush is hard, I want the liner to glide onto the eyelid not to scratch my eyeballs! If there was one product I couldn't live without it must be this little liner! It is a must have for me. If Bourjois discontinues it I will be making a trip to their HQ to beg for a lifetime supply :) haha

Please excuse the state of the packaging :) I use it constantly and the writing rubbed off. I can highly recommend this liquid liner and I really hope you will love it s much as I do. It is an absolute bargain, retailing for only £6.99. Bargain! It also comes in brown and gold.


NEW! Bourjois Hands & Feet Magic Nail Polish Remover


I am obsessed with the original Magic Nail Polish Remover by Bourjois and I repurchased it countless times. I usually have 2-3 pots in my stash - true addict!  When I first heard about the new Hands & Feet option of this cult product, I couldn't wait  to try it. It's not available in drugstores yet, but you can get your mitts on this magic purple pot from Beauty Mart for £6.00. I only used it twice (on my feet and hands), but IT IS LOVE! 

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 :)
