I’ve always wanted to wear yellow nail polish, however I was a little apprehensive because my complexion has yellow undertones and I was worried it wouldn’t suit me well. However after much searching and longing I have finally found “The One” and that is Barry M’s Lemon Ice Cream nail polish!
Face masks are still a little new to me. I’ve tried a few over time, but I never really stuck to them in my skincare routine because I didn’t find them necessary. That was until I noticed that blackheads were becoming an issue and I needed a super fix, hence the Origins Clear Improvement Mask!
I picked up September’s Marie Claire the other week (the one with Rachel Weisz on the cover) and it came with this Murad Essential C Cleanser! I’m always on the look out for a good cleanser so I was happy to give this a whirl and I must say the results are impressive!
I haven’t posted a Face Of The Day (FOTD) in a while and since I had a bit of extra time yesterday I thought I’d take a few self shots of myself and the makeup I was wearing!
Loose powder is a makeup ‘must have’ in my collection. With combination skin such as mine, I like using powder to mattify my face especially around the T-Zone area and of course set my foundation.
Since I started blogging (nearly 1 year ago now!) I’ve always wanted to be published in a magazine or newspaper of some sort. Just seeing my writing in print has always been a personal dream of mine, but this month it finally came true – I’ve been featured in Pure Beauty magazine!
As August is starting to get into full swing I thought it’d be nice to have a giveaway! The prizes are: 2 fantastic Models Own Nail Polishes in ‘Hedonist’ and ‘Disco Heaven’.
With it being the summer I seem to have neglected my eyeliner. It’s been particularly warm over the last few weeks so to keep my eyes looking fresh I’ve opted for using a black eyeshadow to line my eyes . I’ve also been wearing mascara much more often than normal! Anyway, with the launch of the Autumn/Winter collections across stores I thought I’d better start practising my eyeliner technique again.
I have mentioned the L’Oreal Rouge Caresse lipsticks in several posts – What’s In My Makeup Bag and July Favourites, and in all honesty they are definitely worth the mention! Initially I was excited by the prospect of the Revlon Lip Butters that the Rouge Caresse lipsticks went straight to the back of my mind.
This is actually more of a nail of the week since I’ve been wearing this shade since Monday! Anyway, I noticed I haven’t written about nail polish for a while which is largely due to the fact that I haven’t painted them in ages! I do go through phases with my nails and depending on how much time I have on hand determines when I pay them attention! This week has been a good week though and I’ve tended to them as any person should and chose to paint them using Essie Aruba Blue nail polish!
