Greece Sephora & Duty Free Haul

Currently in that depressed, take me back on holiday and get me in the sunshine mood. Normal right? Its been just over a week since I got back from holiday and since then I've started at uni again, moved into a house and finally had a chance to show you the goodies that I picked up. When we went toy Heraklion for the day, the capital of Crete - we hunted down the Sephora. It was a very exciting day indeed! They didn't have many brands and it was a tiny little shop but well worth the visit. 

Kiss & imPress Nails Review & Giveaway

One of my favourite things to do is paint my nails/getting them done. Nothing beats a gorgeous manicure and pedicure, really gives your look that finish. Today I bring you a very very exciting giveaway in collaboration with impress and kiss nails and lashes *squeals*.

The Highlighter Wardrobe

Crazy isn't the best word to describe how besotted I am with highlighter. Over the last few months, its all I've wanted to buy, wear and now share with you all! All through summer and now through winter, the only thing I will definitely be wearing everyday is highlighter, the look of it is just gorgeous! In this post I have narrowed it down to my top 8 favourites, in that 8 three are actually blushes and 1 of the 3 is purely a blush but I use it in a certain way. To make it easier to follow, they countdown from 1 -8 so you can skip to a certain one if that catches your eye.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cremes

NYX is blowing up the beauty world at the moment. Its become so easy to get a hold of around the world and its slightly better quality than drugstore brands but not as expensive as high end. I've fallen in to the hype of the brand and you can see my first impressions here. Since then, every chance I get during my lunch hour I've been going for a browse around the stand and seeing what they have to offer. Of course as a beauty addict, I want everything. 

One day, I was browsing the reduced section - its an amazing place to visit. Hidden at the back were the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cremes, reduced to £3.50 from 35.50. Not a huge discount but it was something. They were all sealed and unopened, I couldn't be happier.

Makeup of the Moment #5

Its that time of the month again, nope not that one, the other one! Its time to share the makeup that I have been wearing recently and what better time to do it then at the start of a new month. Can you believe we are in August? Goodness, gracious me! Lately, I have only been going for these products and nothing else, even though I have so much to choose from. Also, realised that I didn't include my lip option in the first options because it was in my bag but I have added it in! 

YesStyle Korean Beauty Box

Korean Beauty has taken the world over by storm, with its cute packaging and fuss free products whats not to love? Lisa Eldridge is a huge fan and every time I watch one of her korean beauty inspired videos, I am desperate to try the products out. YesStyle kindly gifted me one of their Korean Beauty Boxes* and as soon as it arrived everything was applied, smelt and used! 

Travel Makeup

When I'm writing this, its approximately 24 hours until I leave the UK and head off to the glorious Crete, sound the claxon! When you're reading this I'll be in Crete - how how time is flying by, packing my makeup has always been something I do right at the last minute.  As I'm going somewhere that is hot, a full face of heavy makeup isn't always necessary so this was all pretty easy to pack. Saying that, no doubt I'll shove 100 things in last minute. 

Nails of the Moment #6

Nail trends come and go, I always seem to be behind on the trends seen as though now the latest craze is chrome nails! It also may seem like I get my nails done all the time but I really don't promise, I get them done every month or so and in between just paint them myself. Going to the salon and having them done is so relaxing and time to just sit and do nothing - its great. 

PM Skincare Routine

Thankfully, my skin is the best it has been in a long time. Its because of a matter of factors that play a part together, upping my water intake, cutting out dairy slowly and finding an evening skincare routing that is so good, I get excited to take my makeup off. For reference, my skin type is combination. Oily in the t-zone and the dry as hell everywhere else, its a struggle trying to find products that work well all over and benefit my skin in the right places too. The following seven products have been amazing over the past few weeks and I can't thank them enough. 

In-Flight Essentials

In less than a week I'll be on a plane out of here 🌴🌴The planning, preparation and packing or the three p's is well underway and excitement levels are sky high. Getting my hand luggage together the other day made me realise that I seem to take the same things with me every time I go away. Bit of a warning, I'm an over packer so this probably isn't even it - i'll be adding more things as  go along. 

Boots Haul

We've all done it, walked into Boots with a list of essentials like nail polish remover and ended up walking out with a 5p bag full of makeup because you can't handle yourself. Just me then.  Going into Boots the other day was very exciting because all the stands had just been stocked up again and there were so many new offers on all brands, the beauty addict inside of me couldn't resist. 

Arm Candy

Simple jewellery is fast becoming my favourite thing to wear and its the perfect thing to quickly put on in the morning and run out the door. Recently, I've been reaching for three things and nothing else because they look great mixed together and on their own. 

Little accessories and bits you add to any outfit ,really makes a difference to your whole look. It adds something different and new.
