The Glueless Scr4pbook.

I love the strobing trend and wanted to share how I achieve the look even with my oily skin, below I have listed the different products that I would recommend and then how I have been using them myself, layering the products carefully to keep my natural oils at bay and the highlight exactly where I want it.

Benefit High Beam (£19.50), Topshop All Over Glow (£8), Chanel Le Blanc De Chanel (£33).

The bases, these are all highlights that I use as a base underneath my make up, but all three can also be used alone or over make up too.

Vichy Normaderm (£16), Rimmel BB Cream Matte (£6.99), Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet (£33), L'oreal Infallible 24hr Matte (£7.99), Jouer Matte Moisture Tint (£30).

The foundations I use over the glowy base, all of which are matte finish but they all let a little skin shine through so still look healthy and not cakey, they also keep my natural oils under control.

Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Duo #4 (£21), Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Powder in Candlelight (£33), Revlon Highlighting Palette in Rose Glow (£9.99), Sleek Contour Kit (£6.49), Bobbi Brown (£33).

The highlighters, all with a champagne finish, very natural looking and all buildable. The Revlon brick is slightly more on the glittery side but still works, the Bobbi Brown is great with a bit of fake tan and the Kevyn  Aucoin creamy duo is great for using with cream products when I'm not using a lot of powder.

My typical face lately starts off with the Topshop All Over Glow all over my face, then followed by my matte base Vichy Normaderm BB Cream with a damp sponge, then for concealer I have been using one the same skin tone for my blemishes Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla and then one a few shades lighter for my under eye area and between my brows, the Urban Decay Naked Concealer in Light Neautral. I add a light powder contour with the Sleek Contour Kit, bronze all around the outskirts of my face with Nars Laguna and add a natural peachy blush Nars Final Cut. For my highlight I mainly go for the Kevyn Aucoin Candlelight or the Sleek one, I prefer powder because it controls my natural oil at the same time, I apply it above my brow bone, on my brow bone, along the bridge of my nose but not at the tip, on my cheek bones but don't bring it any further in than my pupils and lastly on my cuspids bow. I then set everywhere else with a matte powder, usually the Ben Nye Cameo powder to make sure all the shine I don't want showing stays matte. For eyes I have been reaching for the more metallic shades instead of my typical mattes, I have been loving the Burberry Eye Colour Cream in Mink and add a bit of my highlight in the inner corner to make the eyes pop and lastly for lips I try to keep them natural looking too, a bit of nude liner typically my Mac Subculture with a lip balm over the top for a bit of gloss. Then just a spritz of one of my facial sprays to help all the powders mesh with the skin and look natural.

I hope this was helpful for any oily girls who think they can't get on board with this trend.

Benefit High Beam

An old favourite that I haven't used for ages and I fallen in love with it again, it gives a natural sheen but doesn't make me look oily.

Vichy Dermablend Foundation

I have been getting a lot of use out of this for highlighting when I have fake tanned, it has such a high coverage that there is no need for concealer which is always a good thing.

MUA Blush Perfection Cream Blusher in 'Blossom'

This is a perfect natural nude blush for my fair skin tone in a soft blendable cream form and only £1.99.

L'oreal Brow Artist Genius Kit

I didn't get along too well with the wax but the powder in this kit is a perfect ashy brown shade and has great colour payoff with no fall out.

Bare Minerals Marvellous Moxie Liner 'Thrilled'

I have been using this smudged all over the lips this month, it's a great 'my lips but better' shade.

Lanolips Rose Lip Ointment

A lovely natural lip cream which is moisturising and glossy but not sticky, it smells amazing too.

Aesop Amazing Cleanser & Tea Tree Leaf Exfoliator

I have been obsessed with this duo ever since I got them, I have done a full review.

Chanel Card Holder

This has taken its place as my new favourite purse, it fits all my cards, notes, change, vouchers everything and it's so much quicker to switch bags because I don't have to switch purses too now.

Welcome to my first 'Empties' post, I have been collecting these bits over the last few months to make sure I had a good amount to talk about. I realise Empties are better in video (Youtube) form but I'm going to take a shot anyway, hope you enjoy.

Firstly the Organix Argan Oil Shampoo and Coconut Milk Conditioner, I loved these so much that I went out and repurchased them before they were even empty, they both smell incredible and even though they are pricey I think they are well worth the money, the shampoo was difficult to lather at first but I have long hair so I find that with quite a lot of shampoos but I gave a really deep clean with minimal product and the conditioner is super thick and creamy my hair really felt nourished after and the coconut scent stays in your hair for ages.

Next, Soap & Glory Hand Food, I'm not sure how many of these I have gone through, but trust me its a lot, this hand cream is one of my all time favourites and such good value at only £5 for 125ml. It is thick and creamy without being greasy or leaving a horrible film behind and above all the smell is to die for.

Another all time favourite is the Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Body Butter, again just an amazing moisturiser, I prefer this one to the bottled version as it is thicker and I feel the moisture locks in longer, thick, creamy, soaks in nicely and smells amazing. (Scents are a big thing for me).

A newby in my Skincare routine for the last few months has been the L'oreal Absolute Make Up Remover for Eye & Lip, this is one of those separate solutions where you have to shake it all up, this usually equals a greasy eye area when you are finished because of the oils in the product, but I didn't find that so much with this, of course it was a bit oilier than the rest of my face but over all I was really pleased, it takes off my eye make up in seconds too.

I'll get the boring one out of the way first, my Nivea Pearl & Beauty deodorant which is the only deodorant I ever use now, I love the smell and I like that it doesn't cake into a nasty white powder.

Ahhh they lovely Snow Fairy from Lush, believe it or not this was actually my first ever bottle and I loved every minute of it. I picked up 3 of these in the Christmas sales so I am fully stocked for now. The smell of this is just a sweet, pink goodness, it lathers up well and creates millions of bubbles.

This was also a Christmas time buy the Vanilla Bliss Shower gel from Body Shop, I think I got this for something crazy like£3, and it was worth every penny, teamed up with the Vanilla Bliss Body Butter, I smelt amazing for a very long time. The Body Shop products get me every time.

I have also used up a mini hand cream from L'occitane, this was the Cherry Blossom one which was unfortunately a little to runny to actually thoroughly moisturise my hands, but it smelt really fresh and was great to just have in my handbag.

I finally finished my High Beam highlighter by Benefit, I bought a new one of these ages ago because I knew I was running out and couldn't be without it but I have only just been ale to open it. This stuff lasts forever, totally worth the pennies, it's so natural looking and so light you don't even know you are wearing it. A true favourite and I really recommend it.

I also scraped the very last smidges of Creme Cup Lipstick out of the tube, beautiful every day 'your-lips-but-better' shade, completely opaque finish and super moisturising feel. (Don't worry I have already replaced it).

Rose Jam, another limited edition Lush product that had me at "Hello", smells exactly like the Rosé Jam bath melt but in a handy shower gel form so your whole body can smell just like your bath, I hope they re-release this soon.

And very last but definitely not least I used up my Quinoderm spot cream, definitely one of the best on the market, very strong so I wouldn't recommend daily use on sensitive areas, but I use this for my shoulder and back spots and they clear up in days. Amazing stuff for the price. (Around £3 at Boots).

Sorry if this post was too long, maybe for my next empties I will keep it to 5 or 6 products, thanks for reading :)
