4 Affordable Powders for Oily Skin

Powder. Some hate it, some love it - my oily skin needs it. For years I have been a royal lover of Rimmel Stay Matte. I first discovered it in the late years of high school (over 6 years ago) and have not switched to anything else. It works well with every single foundation that I have ever owned but last year, it was time to venture out and I ended up finding 3 additions that have blown me away and they're all under £10!  

Procoal Activated Charcoal Scrub Review

My skincare is my life. More so recently than makeup, its just the base for everything. I adore the products that can be used in the shower or a quick fix. I spoke about the Procoal Marine Moisture Mask not that long ago and since have repurchased them because they are amazing. I love using them during the week when my skin needs some TLC. They add some nourishment and love. Procoal have recently added the Activated Charcoal Scrub* to their ever growing range.                            

Cover FX Power Play Foundation First Impressions

I'm always really wary of trying a new foundation. I have the fear of wearing it and my skin becoming really oily during the day and I have no way of saving it. Then I always panic about it breaking me out. Basically, I get scared. I need something that's medium to full coverage to cover everything, that will last me all day at work and not look or feel really heavy on the skin. I mentioned in my haul not that long ago that I managed to bag the Cover FX Power Play Foundation for a really good price. Its been loved by many beauty gurus on line, therefore I have very high hopes for trying it. Read on to find out my first impressions...                              

Pixi Rose: What Worked and What Didn't

I can't even express the excitement every time I get a Pixi parcel delivered to the door. Such a well known, high quality brand and little old me receives there gorgeous products to try - MIND BLOWN. A couple of months, the entire rose range arrived in a lovely pink, personalised travel bag. There was so much to choose from that I really wanted to get my teeth into all the products before sharing my thoughts. After a lot of trial and error, I've managed to put everything into a pile of works amazing and not so amazing/I can't seem to make them work. Some things work for some people and for others they don't. 

Mothers Day on a Budget

Mothers Day is creeping up on us and I am so last minute - as always. I tend to forget important occasions until just the week before, if you are anything like me then this guide is for you. Last minute but still just as good and any grandma, mum, aunt or friend will love these ideas. I promise, that this post is full of ideas that are budget friendly as money is always tight but hopefully there is something for you! For this post, I have teamed up with the lovely people at Nivea. 

Collective Beauty Haul

For the whole of January, I went on a no buy. Meaning no purchasing of makeup and skincare products - it was hard but I did it. Since then I've not been as good. I have an obsession with buying clothes - ASOS is my best friend and have been buying random bits of makeup from here and there. I plan to start more of a low buy from next month, and only buy the essentials when I run out. My aim is to save as much as I can this year, and buying all the new launches, just because everyone else has, needs to stop. I get myself tangled in a web of no money and its just not worth it. 

This post, is a haul of some things I have 'treated' myself to recently, all essentials of course!
