Re-discovered love: Tarte Amazonian Clay BB Tinted Moisturiser

I'm not sure if it's the Winter weather, or the post-travelling skin frenzy, but my skin has literally gone into meltdown! I would like nothing more than to walk around with not a single scrap of make-up on, and to bathe my face in ice cold water, but unfortunately, life goes on! 

So instead, I've been trying to be a little more selective with the make-up I'm wearing, to give my skin the break it's so desperately needing! This means throwing out any heavy foundations, powders, and concealers out of my make-up bag for a little while. 

6 things I took to Paris!

I'd not quite anticipated the extent of a challenge it would be to pack for a weekend away to Paris. Usually, packing for a week long holiday is not a problem - 23kilos, and a huge case often leads to the 'I might need it, chuck it in' approach. But, in this case, I had 10 kilos, a small case, and a weekend's worth of activities ranging from sight-seeing to Disneyland to pack for.. what a nightmare.

Review: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

Hello loves,

I hope you’re all well!! I’m back with another review for you all today! As many of you may already know, I am a bit of a foundation Junkie – and as a result, have tried quite a lot of both drugstore and high-end foundations. I’ve found that recently (probably in the last year or so) my skin type has changed, and is typically more oily. I’m not sure why it’s changed, and it hasn’t effected my make-up routine as of yet, it’s just made me a little more hesitant to wear heavier foundations.

Review: Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil

Hello loves,

So today I wanted to talk about a product that I’ve picked up recently from Shu Uemura – the Porefinist Cleansing Oil. As you all know, I’m a bit of a skincare junkie, and I previously used the Clinique Cleansing Balm (here), which was a fantastic product at removing make-up, but this didn’t compensate for the sore and burning eyes each time I used it - so I’ve been on a bit of a cleanser whirlwind ever since.

With the smallest size starting at £30, I was slightly sceptical as to how this product could be so different from any other cleansing oil, so naturally I just had to buy it.
