Here is my evening skincare routine and I know people will think I am wrong but this works for me. Cleanse: Garnier SkinActive Micellar Oil-Infused Cleansing Water I tried various micellar waters and felt they dried my skin out so when I found an oil based one that is for dry and sensitive skin I had to try it and I love it, I use large cotton pads to use this product with. Exfoliate: Lush Movis Soap I run this bar of scrub under the tap and then directly scrub my face and

I thought I would share my perfume collection on my blog, I used to have a lot of designer perfumes but ever since I started trying Essential Scent I used theirs. Fame - I also have a brand new one in a back up drawer Night Flower Poker Stars Jean-Yves To Go Loves Me Loves Me Not What If? x2 - I also have a brand new one in a back up drawer Marc Jacobs Daisy - got this in a travel set, you get a bottle to refill as well as a mini funnel, I have refilled it already Vera Wan

During 2018 I have put more focus and effort into my skincare than I have ever done so thought I would share with my readers my daily morning skincare routine. Cleanse: Yes To Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Facial Wipes I know Caroline Hirons' is going to hates face wipes but because I give myself a proper cleanse the night before I just use a wipe. Lip Scrub: Lush Mint Julips Lip Scrub I don't like mint but I like this lip scrub, I apply to my lips and move my finger in a c

I don't do many fashion blog posts and really want to get into them a little more so thought I would show you an outfit that I wore to Simply Claire's Christmas Fayre that I had a stand at for my business Maude & Noah plus also the makeup I worn in which one of the products I am actually doing first impressions on for a blog post. I just want to say that I am not a professional makeup artist, hairdresser, nail technician or stylist, this is all self taught (kind of- explanati

My Auntie Hayley and Uncle Paul asked me to be Godmother to their beautiful baby Kane and I felt so privileged to be asked, I thought I would document my outfit as well as what I wore on my face, bare in mind I had a rushed tan the night before so may look slightly patchy. PRIMER: mini Benefit Porefessional Pearl Primer EYE PRIMER: e.l.f. Shadow Lock Eye Primer Sheer FOUNDATION: The Ordinary Coverage Foundation in 1.1N FOUNDATION MIXER: The Body Shop Shade Adjusting Drops

I have quite a few nail polishes in my collection and saw these two nail polishes next to each other and thought they looked like a dupe but polishes can dry differently when applied so would put it to the test. Before applying the nail polishes I prepped my nails with my favourite base coat; which is Ciaté Nail Super Hero. I applied the nail polish one by one, the brush on the Rimmel is better than the Barry M one. After applying the second coat of both nail polishes they we

I love MAC lipstick in Velvet Teddy so I decided to look for a dupe and on Pinterest there were a few posts about an e.l.f product being a dupe so I thought I would check it out. I opened both of the lipsticks and swatched them on my arm and you can clearly see that they are definitely not dupes, I don't understand how people can claim they are a dupe but I can put this claim straight. However when I put it on my lips they looked very similar on the lips, I am going to say th

All over Pinterest and Instagram I had seen people say that Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser is a dupe of Benefit POREfessional so I though I would put it to the test myself especially as I love using the Benefit primer and if I can find a cheaper alternative then that would be brilliant. Also the day that I tried the primer out was a busy day, I had to work for a few hours and then headed to a park for a friend's birthday with the family and all of this was on a hot

I love the Armani Si eau de parfum and would constantly 'borrow' my sisters - I have never had the eau de parfum so constantly spray it when I am in the store because I love it so when a friend recommended a cheaper product that smelt very similar I decided to try it out. Armani Si Eau De Parfum Purchased from: FeelUnique Size: 150ml Price: £120.00 What If? Purchased from: Essential Scent Size: 55ml Price: £4.00 Best packaging: Armani Lasts longest: What If? (only slightly)

For the month of June I plan to do blog posts every Saturday finding dupes for either expensive or limited edition products. Now when I test out products such as todays post I do half and half, I don't apply one nail polish on one hand and the other is the other polish what I do is alternate nails starting with Barry M then Sinful Colors then Barry M then Sinful Colors (I do it alphabetical). Before applying the nail polishes I prepped my nails with my favourite base coat whi

Everybody has been raving about The Ordinary products so I thought I would give their Coverage Foundation a try. Now it was hard to find a place that had a shade that I thought would be suitable for me. CLAIMS: Full coverage Lightweight Smooth, perfected and semi-matte finish Lasts all day without settling into fine lines HOW TO USE: Shake before use Dispense a small amount into the palm or the back of your hand Smooth on and blend throughout the face Ideally outward from the

I wanted to do a few fashion posts so thought I would show my outfit for Jacinda's baby shower plus my face and hair products that I used. I am not a pro makeup artist, nail technician or stylist so bare with me if you think something is wrong. I have also linked everything to the relevant areas if they are still available. MY FACE: The order of the products is the order I used them in plus the day of the baby shower I did a first impressions on the foundation which was last

All over YouTube and social media I saw people rave about the new foundation Revolution bought out called Fast Base Foundation Stick so obviously I had to pick it up myself and try it out. CLAIMS: Easy-to-apply Melts into skin Blending seamlessly Fresh and dewy finish HOW TO USE: Twist up Swipe on Blend out with fingers, a beauty sponge or your favourite foundation brush I wanted a new foundation and like I previously said everybody was rating this foundation so I thought I w
