Fenty Beauty Foundation Review

Hey Guys,

As you all know, Rihanna's launched Fenty Beauty. 
I couldn't help but pick up some products from my all time fave celeb! She's launched so many products, I was in awe. I know everyone online has been reviewing her products and saying good things but I had to try this out for myself. I am a foundation girl, base is everything for me. So 100% I checked the foundation straight away. The colour that I used (and bought) is 300 this was F L A W L E S S ! Not even joking. So blendable and lightweight on your skin. Such a natural finish but it's buildable if you want fuller coverage. It's a soft matte foundation so it feels "Light as Air". I've been loving natural looks I.e. Light foundation, concealer, mascara, natural contour and lips. That's me done. This Pro Filt'r Longwear Foundation has made my everyday makeup look much more natural. The foundation costs £26. Definitely a 10/10 all rounder!

I also tried out the highlighter Trophy Wife - that was something else! I was SHINING! But it's not something that I can wear everyday. For parties, weddings etc it would definitely compliment the Asian dresses I wear. But it won't be part of my everyday natural look that I usually go for. As you can see in the picture above, the highlight is poppin', I deffo will recommend this highlight to the girls who are looking for a highlight with great pigmentation. This highlight has much more of a yellow tone rather than the champagne gold that I usually go for. The highlighter costs £26.

Comment below if you've tried it and what you think. More pictures will be on my Instagram

Hope you guys enjoyed this review! More to come

Crown Eyeshadow Challenge with an Asian Twist

Hello All,

I know i'm quite late in regards to this challenge but I thought I'll just let you guys know if you're feeling creative randomly like me then you can try this out. I have spontaneous outbursts when it comes to makeup and I love just going 'hands-on' and try and create something on the spot. What better way to be creative then do the Crown Eyeshadow Challenge! 

Obviously it's quite random but that's what I am! I'm gonna give you guys the tips and tricks I used to create this look (disclaimer: I did not watch any YouTube tutorials on this challenge but saw a picture on Instagram of the look)

Firstly, I primed my eyelids with my BarryM primer and then I used Jane Iredale Colour Corrective Palette in 'Beige' 

Then I wanted to set the concealer with some loose powder so I used my YSL Souffle D'Eclat in '4'. This helped with the base before I started caking myself in eyeshadow.

Firstly, you have to create an eyeshadow base (this is kinda like the background effect to the crown). I used the Zoeva Nude Spectrum Eyeshadow Palette in shade 'ND080' which was the burgundy brown colour (middle row, one down from the top). 

Then, I had to shape the crown out, using hand - eye coordination. It's not as easy as it looks, because your eyelids are not flat e.g. like you can draw on your cheeks quite easily. It's not the same for your eyelids. I was struggling quite a bit whilst my sister was too busy laughing at me thinking i'm some sort of weirdo. Anyways, draw out the crown. I used my Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Eyeliner in '005 Nude'. Then after drawing the crown out, I had to colour the crown in again using the Zoeva Nude Spectrum Eyeshadow Palette in shade 'ND070' which was the glittery orange colour, can't explain how well pigmented this palette is (first row, one down from top). 

After this, I used the Elf Expert Liquid Liner in 'Copper'. This was just to enhance and outline the crown. 

Now for the ASIAN TWIST - I couldn't find any stick on diamante anywhere. So in an Asian household what do you do? Dive straight into your Asian cupboard where you have that old vintage jewellery hidden catching dust - and that's where your BINDIYAASSSS are! So that's how I managed to get the little diamonds on my crown! Literally shredding my bindis apart to create this look. LISTEN, if you wanna be creative, all the components to your creativity is lying around in your room. You don't need to always buy something and 'get the look'. Rummage in your house!

Anyways thats my Crown Eyeshadow Challenge done! I got some more pictures on my  INSTAGRAM so follow me there to find out more.

March Makeup Faves

March Makeup Faves - how exciting! As it's my birthday month, I have treated myself to so many goodies especially makeup 😍 I have tried every product and OMG ahh-mayyy-zing!!!

Firstly, lets start off with foundation - The Nars All Day Luminous Foundation. I got this from Fenwick, Brent Cross. I have heard so many opinions on this foundation and I was apprehensive to try it. However, I was completely wrong. The foundation is a watery consistency but so easily blend-able and such high coverage. 

:

Colour: Punjab
£35

I also got the Laura Mercier Setting Powder from Fenwick too. I know everyone goes on about it in makeup reviews and Instagram and I thought it's just a hype - let's just buy it and see what happens. I'm not kidding, the powder literally changes your makeup life! Trust me! Absolutely kills all the baking products out there and your face looks incredible. 

Colour: Translucent
£30

I went into Boots and there were so many bargains. Especially, the L'Oreal section. I am obsessed with L'Oreal! I got the new matte brown lipsticks that are out. They are not like the typical matte lipsticks which dry out your lips. If you want a rich, pigmented and hydrating matte lipstick then this is definitely the one! 

Colour: 634 & 636
£7 each

I have been looking for some affordable twist up lip liners for ages, I don't like sharpening pencils. Collection 2000 had some going for so cheap. You guys seriously need to go Boots and check out some of the stuff they have on offer. Sometimes bargains! The lip liner is easily glidable (I don't think that's a word), and has long lasting formula. I had a whole day of shopping, food and chilling with the girls.. And not even any smudges. Stayed on all day/night. 

Colour: Cappuccino & Damson
£3 each 

Then for Concealer - my go to is L'Oreal True Match Concealer. The concealer is so blendable and it matches perfectly to your skin colour. It helps hide imperfections, blemishes and evens skin tone. Obviously, there are other concealers out there which are more expensive and can give a better effect on your face. But you can get cheaper alternatives especially if you want to try it out and see what matches and suits your skin. I got the L'Oreal beauty blender too. 

Colour: 5
£7
Beauty Blender: £6

I also got the L'Oreal True Match Highlighter, the packaging drew me to it! And I haven't really tried anything like that except for the MAC Strobing Cream which is kinda similar. You can use it before foundation or after in areas that you want to highlight e.g. cheekbones, under eyebrows, nose etc. But you can also mix the product with your foundation and no you're not going to look like you've drenched yourself in highlight! It gives a nice shine but isn't all that pigmented.

Colour: Golden Glow
£7

And finally I received the Zoeva Nude Spectrum Eye Shadow Palette as a birthday present from my cousin which I had to add! I actually love her so much because I was so obsessed with this palette. It has that amazing orange and burgundy colour that everyone's looking for. Literally so pigmented. And there's such a nice array of colours, you can easily create a natural or night-out look. 

The colours in the palette are:

• ND010 - Metallic pale mocha.
• ND020 - Powdery chocolate shimmer.
• ND030 - Matte black.
• ND040 - Golden copper with chocolate undertones.
• ND050 - Chocolate truffle.
• ND060 - Deep chocolate with a golden shimmer.
• ND070 - Pale chocolate with muted rose pink undertones.
• ND080 - Pale mocha shimmer.
• ND090 - Rusty copper shimmer.
• ND100 - Pale creamy nude shimmer.
• ND110 - Peach tinted cream with beige undertones and a shimmer finish.
• ND120 - Pale golden chocolate shimmer.
• ND130 - Pale pink nude.
• ND140 - Pale cream shimmer.
• ND150 - Pale brown coffee.

I used the Golden Copper and Chocolate Truffle in my recent pictures - have a look on  INSTAGRAM

That's it for now - Thank You for reading. Check my looks out on INSTAGRAM

Benefit Kissy Missy Gift Set Review

Hi Guys,

Hope you’re well. I have returned again with another post. This time on makeup J I received a super sweet gift set from one of my really close friends and I wanted to share it with you guys. It’s the Benefit Kissy Missy Gift Set – so cute! I love Benefit so much, I always fall in love with their products, especially their mascaras and their packaging! Inside this gift set, there were two lip and cheek tints and two lipsticks. The products are all mini-sized which adds to the cuteness. The packaging

  of the Kissy Missy Gift Set is tinned and shaped as a girl's head. The tin opens from the bottom (check the pictures our below).

The two Lip and Cheek Tints inside the set are called Benetint and Lollitint. These tints as described can be used for both cheeks and lips but I used on the lips. Personally, I’ve never used tints, I’ve always used lip gloss and lipsticks so I didn’t know what to expect. But I am quite surprised with these tints, I can’t believe how long-lasting they are and how well the colour remains on my lips. The tints have got a much more natural look compared to the lipsticks. I believe the colour can be built up, but in the pictures below, I have only used one coat.

Benetint

The Benetint is more of a darker shade compared to the other tint. The tints are both watery and has a nice flowery scent. I loved how natural the tint was, definitely a great look for when you’re in a rush and have no time to put anything on your face. I think I would definitely use this on my lips and may use it on my cheeks when I’m rushing for work in the morning and I can’t be bothered to put my makeup on.

Lollitint

The Lollitint is a light pink shade and is a little thicker consistency than Benetint, but it is still watery. I like this colour the best out the tints, it’s just really girly and just reminds me of summer! I can still see myself using this colour on my no makeup kinda days.

OMG! LIPSTICKS!

These lipsticks are something else (check pictures below) they have a liner included within the lipstick!! So basically a 2 in 1 product and I absolutely love those. The lipstick is in a teardrop design for easy application and it makes your lips look so fuller. The colour is crazily pigmented and it’s so long-lasting. I am in LOVE!

Revved-Up Red Lipsticks

This lipstick has a coral shade with a silky cream finish, this lipstick was the lighter shade compared to Pink Thrills. This lipstick was full of colour once applied and I only used one coat. I am so happy with all of the Benefit products within this gift set. Both lipsticks made my lips look so much fuller. However, these lipsticks are not matte so you may need to re-apply.

Pink Thrills

This lipstick suited my skin tone more than Revved-Up Red Lipstick only because this lipstick had a much darker lip liner. I love this look and I only used one coat again. Very happy with the products. I think I will be wearing Pink Thrills the most out of all four products.

I really enjoyed using all of these products! And Thank You Ema for giving me this beautiful gift set!

If you guys have tried any of these products, then let me know J

See you all soon
