My Top 5 Eyeshadow Palettes
My makeup kryptonite is hands down eyeshadows. Choosing only 5 palettes to feature in today’s post seemed near impossible. But… your girl did what she had to do. Each of these palettes has a unique colour story and a good array of colours to create a variety of looks. Well, unless you want more colour. There are unfortunately no rainbow bright colours in these palettes as I don’t do colourful looks very often. Without rambling on any further, let me share why I’ve chosen these 5 palettes. Huda Beauty New Nudes Eyeshadow Palette Huda came through with this dreamy and romantic eyeshadow palette. I didn’t think twice about making…

You guys loved last weeks post where I shared my top 5 mid- to high-end foundations. If you haven’t caught up with that post then please click HERE. The foundations discussed in today’s posts are some of my absolute favourite, more affordable, foundations. I love these so much that I’ve repurchased them several times.

My Top 5 Mid- To High-End Foundations
Hey beauties I posted a poll on my Instastories yesterday asking if you guys thought that the brands highlighted in today’s post are mid-end or high-end. Most of you said high-end and I suppose it’s because of the price tag. I, however, think these fall in the mid-range category. When I think high-end I think of brands such as Dior, Armani, Natasha Danone, Pat McGrath, YSL, Tom Ford etc. I’m starting a top 5 series on my blog where I’ll be sharing some products I’ve been loving, why they’ve worked for me or why I find myself reaching for them more often or over others in my collection. Today I’m…

Beginners Guide To Skincare – Vitamin C {Ascorbic Acid}
Hey, my beauties. I’m still discussing a few ingredients and “skincare steps” under my Beginners guide to skincare series and today I share some information on Vitamin C. An ingredient that’s gotten quite the reputation for being a little difficult to work with because of its unstable nature. What is Vitamin C? Oranges, lemons? Yes! But it’s also an amazing ingredient in skincare. It’s a powerful antioxidant that helps fight free radicals and UV rays against the sun, helps to increase collagen production in the skin and gives the skin that brightness that most of us want all year round. Like I mentioned above, Vitamin C is an unstable ingredient.…

Beginners Guide To Skincare – Vitamin B3 {Niacinamide}
I’ve covered Vitamin A in last weeks post over HERE, and today I’m sharing my thoughts and experience on Vitamin B also known as Niacinamide. If you’re serious about skincare then this is a must-read as this ingredient has many people talking. What is Niacinamide? Niacinimide is a form of Vitamin B3, an ingredient that many dermatologists swear by as it has shown to work. It’s a water-soluble vitamin, meaning it won’t dissolve in oil and for this reason easily absorbed by the outer layer of the skin. This ingredient is typically found in water-based serums, moisturisers and masks. It’s also non-acidic so great for all skin types. …
