Current Favourites

Favourite posts are my absolute favourite (haha) posts to write, but I haven't posted one since July! I thought I would combine a favourites post for the last couple of months.


Ben Nye Neutral Set Colourless Powder
I picked this powder up from IMATS in September. I love to use this powder under my eyes to set concealer. It is a colourless powder, light-weight, and great for setting! Absolutely recommend this powder and it's not too expensive as well! The only issue is that it is loose powder, but I've been okay working around that!

Lime Crime Velvetine in Wicked
Oh my god. Where has this thing been in my life?!?!?! Although it's going into Summer, I will be rocking this lip shade in Winter next year. It's an absolutely gorgeous shade, lasts for hours without touching up. I want to buy every single Velvetine now! I wish every lip colour could come in a Velvetine option. Definitely recommend checking these out for anyone who finds a shade that they like!

Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation in Peach Ivory
I picked up this foundation about a month ago, and I absolutely adore it! It has been on my wish list for quite a while, and I'm super glad that I bit the bullet and bought it. Just a side note - I actually wore this foundation to my graduation last month. I find this foundation is great for dry skin and recommend it for anyone with dry skin!

muk spa Argon Oil Treatment 
I've had this oil for about two months, and my hair routine feels incomplete without it. I feel it adds moisture back to my very bleached hair, and keeps it very conditioned.

Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow in 30
I absolutely adore this brow product! I will have a review up of this once I have thoroughly tested it, but so far, it is absolutely love!

Marc Jacobs Dot EDP
This perfume is such a summery scent, but I've been breaking out early. It smells just like watermelon and is such a pleasing scent.

And those are the products I've been loving the last few months! I apologise for my absence the last couple of months, but hopefully things will be back up and running soon!

MAC Costa Chic - review and swatches

I've been meaning to do a review of this lipstick for a very long time. Needless to say, better late than never! This lipstick was an impulse buy - I'd never seen it online, looked up swatches, anything. When a friend and I were in MAC quite a few months ago now, we swatched it on our hands and it looked gorgeous - the only downside was it was a frost finish (not something I look for in lipsticks). Needless to say, it hardly looked like a frost, so we both grabbed one.






I think this lipstick is a great summer lipstick. Although it is a frost finish, it hardly appears so on the lips. The only downside is because it is a frost finish, it's lasting power isn't that great. But it's a great coral pink and I don't really have anything similar in my collection, so it's a win win for me!
