Achieving A Bad-Ass Glow

No matter how much I told myself that there is no need to order the new glow kit, guess who did? 🙋🙋After seeing a hundred and one pictures of it and videos talking about it, there was something inside of me that just had to have it. For so long, I was very much on the fence. This is the second thing from ABH that I have tried and without trying any other glow kit - I've gone straight in for this one. Iqra who's just fabulous,was also on the fence and when she caved, I ended up caving too. But was it worth the price tag and hall of fame reputation?  

The Perfect Everyday Foundation

For me, it doesn't happen very often but don't you just love it when you fall in love with a foundation? The feeling of being able to apply a product in the morning and knowing that when you go home and look in the mirror, it will still be in tact. Buying a new foundation is my pet peeve, can never seem to find the ideal shade, perfect formula or even a brand that I like. In the past few years, I've loved a lot of foundations, majority of which are drugstore. This years aim is to try more high end, I have my eyes on Estee Lauder, YSL and Chanel but for now it is the Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear. It was briefly mentioned in the beauty edit post in collaboration with John Lewis, but it needed its own post. 

Blog Photography Without A DSLR

Over the past few months, I have started to put much more of an effort into my photo's, both here and on instagram. Not in any way saying that I'm a pro or the best, there are hundreds of other people out there who have better photo's than I do. But I have upped my game and it is all without an expensive camera. To this day, four years of blogging, not once have I used a camera for photo's (apart from the past few fashion posts, but someone else has taken them for me). Believe it or not, everything is taken on my phone. 

Spring Skincare with Caudalíe

Testing out new skincare is something that I am loving at the moment, my skin is getting a treat nearly every month and to say that it is usually prone to breakouts, switching it up every so often has helped it in a way. On rotation at the moment, is the new Vine[Activ] range from Caudalíe, these along with some the skincare bits that will be featured soon have changed my skin in ways that can only be imagined.
This range is aimed at those with hectic lifestyles, always on the go and your skin is going to be the one that suffers. All the products help to fight signs of ageing, which isn't a big issue for me at the moment but it is also glow activating. Having an entire range from one brand has been really lovely to use, and I will be using these for a long time! 

Weekend Pamper

Who doesn't love a good old pamper evening? Or even day, whatever you prefer! Thursday marked my last day at university for a month, before going out on placement and there was no better way to celebrate than having some me time and indulging in some beauty treatments. We all deserve some TLC from time to time and don't forget that. My focus this week is on three things, skin, lips and nails!!

Running Late Routine

Everyday, I see people who have spent a reasonable amount of time in the morning putting themselves together. Whether it be perfecting the winged liner, wearing the knee length boots with a thousand and one laces or creating that super sleek straight hair. 

 If you’re one of these people, then hats off to you because where on earth do you find the time? 

I'm definitely a morning person over night owl but in the sense of ... 

1. Hitting the snooze button a thousand times over

2. Using simple and multi-purpose products to make me look alive

3. Having to eat breakfast on the way to university or work
