Mac Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation

MAC Prolongwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation (shade NC20/ 25ml/ £25.50). I was first in line at my local MAC a few months ago when this launched and I was so excited to try it and maybe find a new holy grail foundation, but unfortunately I was pretty disappointed. So firstly the packaging is great as it is in a tube so you have full...

Mac Etcetera Dupe

Everyone loves a good dupe so I thought I'd share my latest find with you... Recently I picked up MACs Prolongwear Lip Pencil in 'Etcetera' (£15) on a whim (it's a rich nudey brown shade with a slight orange undertone) and when I got home I realised I already had a lip liner which was practically identical, the Kiko Smart Lip Pencil in No. 700...

Maxfactor 2000 Calorie Mascara

Maxfactor 2000 Calorie Mascara (£9.99) I recently spotted this mascara in Boots and it brought back memories of when my mum used to use this all the time, back then it was in a more rounded tube and was navy blue in colour, clearly they have had a packaging re-think and brought it a bit more up to date with a sleek black...

Simple Micellar Water

Simple Micellar Water (200ml/ £4.49) I was all out of my Garnier Micellar Water and had spotted this one on the shelves so I thought I'd try something different.  This Micellar water is designed with sensitive skin in mind, it says it contains 3 vitamins, 2 skin loving ingredients and no artificial perfume or colour. I am actually really impressed with this so...

Kevyn Aucoin The Celestial Powder in Candlelight

Kevyn Aucoin The Celestial Powder in Candlelight (3.1g/ £35) I've been obsessed with my Benefit High Beam liquid highlighter lately but with my weird skin type I can only really use it when I'm using other cream products (or I can layer it straight on top of my foundation) and because Summer seems to be here (kind of) I wanted to get a...

New Nudes

I have done a nude nail post before, but since it is my nail colour of choice I have added quite a few to my collection since then so I thought it was time for an update. Some oldies have stayed such as the Models Own 'Buff Pink' a perfect barely there nude pink which never quite goes opaque but has just enough pigment...

Colab, Ruth Crilly Dry Shampoo

Ruth Crilly Colab Dry Shampoo London (200ml/ £3.49) Ruth Crilly Colab Dry Shampoo London Extreme Volume (200ml/ £4.49) I've finally got around to trying the Ruth Crilly Dry Shampoo and here are my thoughts. I chose the London scent for three reasons one it was the most classic scent, two I preferred the black packaging and three it's London. The scent reminds me...

Muji Does Skincare

As soon as I saw Caroline Hirons' Instagram about the new Muji Skincare line I knew I'd be taking a trip there at the next possible moment.  The line has been in the making for a long time and has clearly been very thought through, it is all water based and the water is sourced directly from a fresh mountain supply in Japan,...

Burberry Eye Colour, Almond

Burberry Eye Colour 'Almond' (2.7g/ £23) I popped into the Burberry Beauty Box with the intention of picking up the famous Pale Barley, but I left with this and it has quickly become my go-to shadow of choice. The packaging of course is amazing, gunmetal grey with the burberry check embossed on the compact and the product, magnetic closure and a decent sized...

May Favourites

Ren Rosa Centifolia Express Make Up Remover I used this so much this month that I just had to repurchase, it's so effective but so gentle at the same time, doesn't leave a film on the skin and feels super moisturising. Tea Tree Water I recently reintroduced this old favourite, I don't know how I've been without it, it's really refreshing, helps with...
