Falling For Fenty

The one brand that is on everyone mind that the moment is of course Fenty. Rihanna created this brand with a vision and since it has launched, it has been the talk of the town. Her aim with the entire range was to develop formula's that work for all skin types, shades to match a variety of skin tones and above all makeup that is fun to use and have. I debated between buying things on line and going to my local Harvey Nichols, but ending up doing the latter. I had to Que to get shade matched for the foundation but nothing as bad as what I've heard its like in London. I spent only 10 minutes, compared to some people who have spent hours! I am so glad I did go in and get matched, because the shade I thought I was, way to dark! After a few weeks of testing, I have gathered my thoughts and put it all together into one post. The good, the bad and the ugly.                         

Currently Loving

There are so many products that I am loving currently, some of which haven't had a mention on here ever! Monthly favourites fizzle in and out fashion as a blog post, so I thought of just choosing some of my favourite products at the moment and mashing them together in one post. 

I find myself using the same products so often and to death, that I end up using things up before I have even had the chance to talk about them, hopefully I can keep making these types of posts! 

Glossier Comes to the UK

This week is very exciting indeed, the infamous brand Glossier have officially launched in the UK. They have very well known in the beauty industry and throughout the US as a brand that takes everything so seriously yet keeps things pretty basic. A few months back, they had a pop up shop in London, where you were able to browse what was coming but not buy (pretty pointless in my opinion). I wasn't able to go as it was all pretty last minute, but I forwarded the invite to Nishi, who was ready with a shopping list in case you could buy anything. She then sent me a link, a few weeks after saying that they were going to gift those who did attend, which is very kind of her! I wasn't really expecting anything, but in the post came this glorious Glossier package!          

Mark by Avon Liquid Lip Lacquers Review and Swatches

If there is one thing that no one can never have enough of, it is definetely lip products. No matter what your look or mood, a lip product makes everything better. Avon are a brand that I have loved for years, still to this day we get the book through at home to have a flick through and order things that you don't really need, but want to try because it is affordable and easy to buy. More recently, they have launched a brand called MARK, a edited beauty and fashion range that gives every woman the opportunity to make her own mark.
As part of this range are some lip lacquers, there are glossy and mattes within the range and a shade for everyone! I was very kindly a sent a selection of shades from both the matte and glossy range to try, here is a little review of them and some swatches.
                                 

Eyeshadow for the Autumn

It seems like Autumn has well and truly taken over my life, my instagram, my candles, basically everything. It was only a matter of time until my makeup gets the Autumn bug too, I posted all about my top lipsticks last week and this week is about eyeshadow. I am not someone who wears eye makeup everyday as it is far too much effort, but when I do wear it, I love going all out and having shades on that match the season and time of year.                                    

Rimmel x Influenster Review

When I received an email a few weeks ago saying that I had been selected for the next Influenster VoxBox, I was very excited. Since the concept of getting everyday people to try out new brands has come over from the US to the UK, I have been itching to be selected and am so thankful that this time round I was. Then, I got even more excited when the box came and it was full of Rimmel goodies. Rimmel is a brand that I haven't really explored much of, apart of the Stay Matte Powder (HOLY GRAIL, DO OR DIE PRODUCT) there isn't much that I love from them. I think this is down to that they tend to cater for lighter skin tones than mine and this puts me off even looking at the stand in stores. 

However, things are a little different this time round with their newest launch. They have a whole range of different shades from pale to medium to almost dark and I got very excited to receive a foundation from them that matches me.
