Caudalie Radiance Serum Review

Caudalíe is fast becoming one of my favourite skincare brands,the sorbet moisturiser (full post here) is my holy grail and at the moment when its hot outside it seems to be working really well. Not too heavy, keeps my skin nourished and smells divine. These past few weeks I have added in the Caudalíe Radiance Serum* in to my routine and it too has become a favourite of mine. 

Primark PS Pro Oval Blending Makeup Brushes

Oval makeup brushes are taking the beauty world by storm, they have become the latest craze. The problem is the price tag that comes with it, Artis brushes start at £28 and thats for a small one and MAC retail them for £34. Personally, I can't justify the spend on them no matter how amazing they might be (unless I win the lottery, in which case, I'll take 2). 

Michelle from TSNC compared a Ebay version to the Artis ones and I was planning on buying them, until I headed into Primark one day. Hidden within their makeup brushes stand I spotted these oval brushes, a complete dupe for the expensive ones. 

House of Wonderland Nail Transfers

Painting my nails is a hobby of mine, I honestly love it so much. or the last few months I was getting my nails done professionally but the cost of maintaining them is ridiculous. I've gone back to my natural nails and to be honest they aren't that bad! My go to nail look is just a coat of polish and maybe some glitter if I'm feeling fancy. 

But, I've stepped it up a level and moved onto using the cutest nail transfers from House of Wonderland. A store opened by Tess, a entrepreneur from Edinburgh it features some pretty, quirky jewellery, mugs, cushions and newly released nail transfers.    

I was very kindly send a packet of them to try out that has a whole bunch inside, from earth and space to cute little pugs. These are also super easy to use;

> Simply paint your nails as normal

> Choose the transfers you want to apply and cut them out as close as possible (recommend getting these ready before)

> Place the transfers under water for about 5 seconds and then you should be able to peel them straight off - like a temporary tattoo!

> Apply to your chosen nail/s and make sure there are no creases before you apply a top coat to seal it off! 

Falling Back in Love with Jumpsuits

Jumpsuits are literally the comfiest things to wear in the world, they are like pjs and a dress in one. Heaven in an outfit. The Sia Jumpsuit from Boutique of Molly is my new favourite one for the summer and its perfect for both the day and evening time. 

That's the great thing about jumpsuits they can be worn in the day as a causal outfit with some flats or even in the evening with heels and lots of jewellery. 

It's time to show your feet some love

We're in July and slowly but surely the sun is making more appearances. I love summer because of the brighter and longer days but also because its sandals weather. After boots they are my favoruite shoe option and this year I have become obsessed with wedges 😍😍😍

Wearing nice shoes however means that your feet have to be in tip top condition, so last weekend I gave them a bit of love. 

Top 5 Foundations for Asian Skin Collab with Nishi V

Today's post is very exciting!! It's a collaboration with the gorgeous and very talented Nishi of NishiV! I discovered Nishi a while ago now, we stalked each others blog and then social medias - pretty sure we talk most days too. I need to meet this girl in real life!! She's a pro makeup artist, shopping enabler and amazing snapchatter. 

In today's post we shall be talking about our top 5 foundations for Asian skin tone, which range from being really dark to medium dark. The problem however, is that many brands don't produce foundations for 'darker' skin tones. Bourjois for example have shades that are far too light for me, which is such a shame because their foundations seem amazing. Nishi wrote this post a while back about the problems with drugstore foundations and it screamed out to me so much because its true. Finding a foundation that is perfect for olive, Indian, Asian, yellow toned skin is really hard. We decided to compile a list of our favourites to help those of you out there, who are in the same situation. Even if you aren't, these are some great foundations to try out!
