Bloggers Made Me Buy It

One thing that blogging has done for me, is a give me a negative credit card balance - all the damn time. Every time a blogger raves about something or a few bloggers share photos on instagram of a product it just has to be mine. Half the things in my makeup collection are blogger enabled so it is no surprise that my collection is so large, I think the power and influence bloggers/youtubers have is incredible. I've received such lovely messages in the past, saying that they're loving a product upon my recommendation. That is the best feeling in the world! I've tried to narrow down to the products that were mainly influenced by bloggers and here's what we have..

Breaking Stereotypes

The weather in the UK has been bloody fabulous these past few weeks, when the sun makes an appearance so do all the British people! We're like bees! To make the most of the spring weather, I took the opportunity to meet up with Aamira one week and shot lots of gorgeous pictures. That girl knows Liverpool like the back of her hand and found the most gorgeous location. It worked perfectly with this floral outfit! Expect to see other outfits over the next few weeks.

Korean beauty has taken the world by storm, some say that they are ahead of the beauty industry by at least 10 years.

They inspire western brands to create packaging that is unique and enables easier application. Products are formulated using ingredients that effective, safe for the skin and hydrating. Oh K! Life have taken all this as inspiration and created a range of products that brings Korean beauty to the UK. 

3 To Try Under £10

At heart, I will forever be a 'drugstore' girl. No matter how beautiful luxury products are, my budget and brain always go back to products from the like of Superdrug and Boots. Saying this, I tend to always go for the same brands including Maybelline, L'Oreal and Rimmel. But recently I've decided to branch out, try different brands and see what else the drugstore offers. Everything from foundation to eyeliner, there is just so much out there. Over the past few weeks, I've been loving these three products in particular. All from brands that I have tried in the past but products I wouldn't necessarily pick up from them. 

Bedside Beauty Staples

Every night I say to myself 'tonight you're going to have an early night, its a long day tomorrow/you  have to get up early'. Every night this never goes to plan, the reason behind it is because I waste so much time getting ready for bed. My whole night routine from going upstairs to actually getting into bed and going to sleep, is such a long process. I love to mess around and take all the time in the world, even though my eyelids can't stay open...

Dermalogica #MyFaceMyStory

It has taken me years to realise that good skin doesn't happen over night, it takes time for your skin to become used to a product, and for a product to work. Some work miracles overnight and others need time. A few weeks ago I went down to my local salon has my skin analysed by Dermalogica expert. 

The whole process took no more than twenty minutes and started by asking me questions about my skin. The lifestyle I live, health issues, sun tolerance and then using a unique technique to perform a visual examinaton of my skin. Using the old tradition of chinese facial diagnoisis, the skin expert divided my skin into 14 different zones and examined each zone throughly and noted down what she saw on a prescription sheet. 

This sheet was then for me to keep and see my skin at a glance, with all its issues present. These included breakouts, hyperpigmentation and the unknown to me, dehyrdation. From this she outlined the products that are best suited to my skin and why. Today, I've got a review of some of the products that were recommended and how they've worked and not worked for my skin.
