Ofra x NikkiTutorials Highlighter Review

Image
Hi lovelies, Yea turns out I lied again about the affordable makeup. I'm really sorry guys but with all this amazing makeup coming out I just can't help myself from buying the more expensive stuff. Ok I lied again, I bought this in another Beauty Bay sale and I got a whole £9 off (how could I not). As soon as I saw this on NikkiTutorials channel ( this video I believe), I needed to get this highlighter only because I don't want to use all my Sugarpill x Little Twin Stars palette (shameless plug but you can check out that review here ). The Ofra x NikkiTutorials highlighters are available in 2 shades: space baby and cloud 9. I purchased cloud 9 because I prefer a pink tinted highlighter over a silver highlighter (that's space baby). Both highlighters are available on Beauty Bay (see here ) and retail for £25 for 10g. You will get free UK delivery from BeautyBay and my order was delivered within 2 days. As always it was safely packed. The packaging is nice and s

Too Glam to Give a Damn Lashes

Hi Lovelies, Sorry for the lack of regular posts recently. Ive landed a new job so life's been a little crazy but now I'm settled in posting should resume as normal. Today I want to share a brand that has literally only just started trading. Too glam to give a damn lashes are a UK company currently trading through Instagram and Coco Cosmetics ( Click here ). These are a small UK business that produces hand made lashes so stock is limited. There is only 1 style of lashes at the minute: beach babe which I have purchased for £5. As I'm in the UK postage was free. The package arrived in a small envelope that easily fit through my letter box and was delivered within a week of placing my order. Packaged as expected for lashes, very lightweight which is great for shipping costs. The lashes are gorgeous. They are long, thick and super soft while having a good amount of curl at the end (3D lashes). The band of the lashes is supple but seems to be pretty tough and isn't to

Summertime Skin Care

Hi lovelies. We've had our first gorgeous sunny spell of 2018 in the UK and so I want to discuss some important skin care tips to keep your skin looking gorgeous at all times. I am a traditional tanning girl (no sunbeds or fake tans at all) and I am guilty of neglecting my skin sometimes when I want to get some colour. DO NOT neglect your skin if you like laying in the sun but particularly if you use sunbeds. Now then the first port of call for any tanning venture is suntan lotion (yup that's right). So suntan lotion does not stop you from tanning but it does give you some protection from the harmful rays of the sun. The higher the SPF of your lotion, the more protection you have against these rays. Also never forget to put suntan lotion on the bottoms of your feet, we always forget that part but trust me it is so painful when burnt its not worth it. I've found that better quality suntan lotions are better for gaining a tan as well as offering the protection needed. I gen

Maybelline Superstar 24 Hour Foundation Review

Image
Hi lovelies, hope everyone's well. I've been hearing wonderful things about this foundation so I thought I'd try it for myself. The Maybelline Superstay 24hr foundation can be purchased at Superdrug or Boots in the UK and retails for £9.99. I do think the shade range is a bit crappy as they only have 12 shades. For once there is more than one shade for darker skin which is great from a drugstore brand but there isn't a shade for very dark or very pale skin. It was very difficult picking the right shade online using the information provided. There are no swatches on skin which doesn't allow you to see the undertones of the foundation. I ended up choosing my shade based on beauty vloggers on YouTube and looking at their skin tones and the shades they used. One in particular really does show the undertone differences between the ivory and beige foundations and this really helped me decide ( Lucy Purtface Review ). I went with the 05 Light Beige shade and its a pre
