So you’re working out? Well done! You might be doing it for physical reasons, mental health reasons, or both. Either way, are you making sure your hair and skin are benefitting too? (Yah that takes the biscuit as the most cheesy intro I’ve done lol)
BYERIM LUXURY HAIR OIL – HAIR SAVIOUR
Starting the new year with a new kind of post, focusing on haircare this time! I’ve got a few products I’ve been testing and switching up to see what can actually save my hair. My first post had to go to the queen Erim Kaur (Insta: @erimstagram) and her new hair oil (which has sold out within hours on both launches!).
HOT OR NOT – MOISTURISER REVIEW
Long-time, no see! Now that I’m done with university and I have a bit more time on my hands, I hope to be doing some more blog posts, woo! My first post back is one that’s taken some time to get to do because I obvs only have one face and only moisturise twice a day. But, here’s my moisturiser low-down on what I’ve been using over the past few months and whether I think it’s oily-combo/acne-prone skin approved.
GLOW MY GOD! – PIXI GLOW TONIC
I have a new skincare fave! I’ve been loyally testing out the Pixi Glow Tonic since it hit Boots and, spoiler, I’m loving it.
It’s always risky for me, with my sensitive and acne-prone skin, to try out new skincare or just change my routine in general. But, thankfully, it really paid off and I would love to recommend it to you guys.
FOUNDATION FAIL – RIMMEL MATCH PERFECTION
Happy New Year! ‘New year, new me’ I guess as I’m ringing in 2019 with my first ever negative review :o. Unfortunately, this foundation was all types of awful for me…
I CREATED MY OWN EYESHADOW PALETTE … FOR PURCHASE!
Really not clickbait guys, I did! I created my own eyeshadow palette that is legit for sale (and you can too!). Find (and purchase) my palettes at my Beautonomy store. If you want to purchase my palette, any singles, or any of the other amazing palettes, purchase through this link and save 20%!
COLOURPOP X MAKE-A-WISH – SUPER SHOCK SHADOWS
Wow, that was a long break away! I’ve been super busy with uni but I’m finally back to play with makeup!
I recently purchased the Colourpop Super Shock Shadows made in collaboration with Make-A-Wish. At the time I bought them, Colourpop was a risky site to buy from because the shipping costs and customs fees could be huge. After such amazing reviews though, I’ve been desperate to try them. They retail for $5.00 which is about £4.00… bargain. Plus, 20% of the profits from this collection go to Make-A-Wish until 11 Jan 2019.
MY MAKEUP BRUSH AND SPONGE COLLECTION
My collection of makeup brushes for an average makeup wearer is both embarrassing and something I’m proud of – I guess I can only be as good as my tools! So, I’m going to get into all the different brushes and sponges I have and what I use them for.
I’ve included pictures of the brushes as a whole and then close up so you can see their density and size. Also, please excuse the lack of cleanliness lol (in my defense, they’ve only been used once since cleaned last week so aren’t due another yet haha)
FAVE UNDER-EYE CONCEALER – MAYBELLINE INSTANT AGE REWIND
HOLY GRAIL! This concealer is by far the best concealer I’ve ever used and I have repurchased time and time again. Absolutely the best concealer for using, especially under the eye and I cannot recommend it more.
FAVE SPF – THE BODY SHOP SKIN DEFENCE
Facial SPFs are so important to protect our skin in the short and long term, even if the sun isn’t out. But, as a brown girl, it’s hard to find an SPF that doesn’t give a white cast. But, keep reading to find out more about the melanin friendly one!
