Blogmas Day 5: H&M Beauty

Blogmas Day 5: H&M Beauty Department

Hello Lovelies!

I was very excited when I went into one of my local H&M stores and found a whole new beauty department. It was full of so many makeup and beauty goodies! I spent ages debating which goodies to buy as of course I couldn't leave empty handed!

I just love the sophisticated yet simple packaging they have. It makes the makeup look so classy and what I love even more is the very attractive price!  

On my trip I picked up three things which were two eyeshadows and a lip liner. The eyeshadows were in the shades Ginger Snap and Baci Di Dama. I am so impressed by them as they are really beautiful, very pigmented and glittery. They wear so well and deliver that perfect amount of sparkle, which will be great for any Christmas events.

The lip liner I picked up was in the shade Au Naturel. A really lovely neutral shade which matches all those nude and neutral toned lipsticks you might have. I know that this one is definitely one of the handiest shades to have at the ready in your handbag!

I think I might be in love with their beauty department already, I cannot wait to pick up some more goodies. Do you have any recommendations for me?

Fall Makeup and Fragrance

Fall Makeup and Fragrance

Hello Lovelies!

Can you really believe that it's September already? It'll be Christmas before we know it!

I thought I'd share with you some new favourites from August that are perfect for fall! August seems so long ago now!!!!

NARS Kabuki Ita Brush

I had been so desperate for this brush, but I suppose I could never justify the large price tag. But then the shopaholic inside me obviously took over and before I could blink I was walking out of Sephora with a beautiful new brush. I am so glad I bought this Kabuki brush. It honestly is amazing and so easy to use, perfect for that sculpted look. For contouring it's so great because it doesn't create a muddy look like some contouring brushes do. It's soft and seems to pick up the right amount of product each time. It really is worth every penny!

2. Nails Inc Hyde Park Court Gel Effect Nail Polish

If you've read this previous post of mine, you'll know how much I'm loving khaki at the moment! This is still ongoing and as it's time for fall, I decided to add a lovely khaki colour to my fall nail polish collection. This is the Nails Inc Hyde Park Court Gel effect nail polish.
A lovely khaki colour which is perfect for AW15. It looks like it'll be khaki overload for me this fall!


3. Chanel CHANCE EAU VIVE

I've always been a lover of the Chanel CHANCE perfumes, so when I was shopping in Duty Free in London I decided to treat myself. They had a weird bowling game competition where you could win something from Chanel if you managed to get the right combination. Unfortunately I didn't win, but I was already going to buy this perfume anyway (So that's basically a win anyway!!!) This is the Chanel CHANCE EAU VIVE perfume, which is the new baby in the CHANCE family. It's pink and has floral, jasmine, orange and grapefruit notes. It is probably more floral and woody than I'm used to but I absolutely love it. Chanel perfumes are always so long lasting on your skin, which is so perfect when you're obsessed with the scent. 

What have you been loving and can't wait to use in Fall?

Charlotte Tilbury Makeup

Charlotte Tilbury Makeup

Hello Lovelies!

Life has been pretty manic and full of travelling lately. But of course, it's also been full of shopping too! When I arrived back in London the other day, a quick trip back to the city wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Charlotte Tilbury counter in Selfridges! It also wouldn't be complete without a few purchases to add to my collection!

So here are the three lovely things which I picked up! I can do a more in depth review at a later time! 


1. Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Bitch Perfect 

The lipstick on the left! This is a beautiful pink nude and it's just so creamy. The perfect shade for every day!

2. Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Hepburn Honey 

I'm starting to put my coral and bright lipsticks away so I opted for this beautiful lipstick shade. It's a neutral beige lipstick with honey tones and is great for those times when you want a bit more of a darker subtle lip. I can't wait to wear this shade in winter! 


3. Cheek to Chic Sex on Fire blush

I'm obsessed with these blushes, so had to add another one to my makeup bag! They're so perfect due to the swish and pop concept. I absolutely love this shade and feel that it's perfect for my skin tone in the cooler months to come. 

What makeup have you been buying lately?

Natural Makeup

Natural Makeup

Hello Lovelies

Today I thought I'd share with you a natural makeup look. Sometimes less is more and so this kind of makeup look is perfect to wear any day of the week.

Foundation: Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation. This is probably my most favourite foundation ever! It feels so light, gives the most amazing coverage, literally glows and stays put forever. Which is an amazing bonus when you live in super hot and humid Florida!

Concealer: Maybelline Cover Stick and the Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer for under the eyes

Eyes: I used the Naked Smoky Palette, but obviously didn't smoke it up! I used the natural shades, which included the shade Combust in the crease, and I applied Thirteen and High all over the eyes. 

Eye liner: I just used the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Mad Max Brown. Literally such an easy liner to use. 

Bronzer: Hourglass Ambient Bronzer in Luminous Bronze Light

Blush: A really natural peachy nude blush which is the Becca Mineral blush in the shade Wild Honey. Definitely one of the most natural blushes I own!

Highlighter: Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop. The obsession with this highlighter is real! It's incredible!

Mascara: One coat of the Maybelline Lash Sensational and one coat of the Tom Ford Extreme Mascara in Raven

Lipstick: Charlotte Tilbury Sexy Sienna. A super natural matte shade perfect for day and night! 

This is a super quick and easy look which I love to just wear on an every day basis. It's easy to adapt and I find that the products used work really well together!

Which makeup products do you use for a natural makeup look?

High Street/Drugstore Makeup Look

Hi Lovelies!

Hope you're having a lovely weekend so far. I thought that it was about time for a makeup look. So instead of using some of the beautiful things I've picked up Sephora lately, I've decided to do a high street/drugstore face. All the products used are perfect for this time of year, and such great quality and value! So I hope you like it!

Foundation: NYX HD Foundation in shade 103

Concealer: Maybelline Coverstick in Medium Beige

Eyeshadow: Sleek Makeup i-Divine au naturel Palette, shades Nougat, Taupe and Moss

(Also used Nougat as a highlighter on my face!)

Inner corner of eye: Ulta eye crayon, Little White Lie

Mascara: Maybelline Lash Sensational and Kiko False Lashes Concentrate Lengthening Top Coat Mascara

Lips: Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain in Barcelona Nights

Bronzer and blusher: Elf Contouring Blush and Bronzer Palette

Blush: L'oreal le blush in Rose Nude

As you can see I didn't use too many products, I'm trying to keep it light and fresh for summer and add a little burst of colours with the lips!

If you want me to review any products used let me know. I probably will do an in depth review on the NYX HD Foundation because it's amazing!

What high street/drugstore products are you loving?
