TRYiNG A POWDER FOUNDATiON

I am one of the biggest fan of liquid foundations and I think that it's the best foundation consistency there is. I also haven't tried a powder foundation that satisfied me to be quiet honest thus the above opinion. However I also must admit that liquid foundations can take time to blend and quiet quiet consuming in touching up. When the Clinique Beyond Perfecting Powder Foundation + Concealer was released, I am quiet doubtful and hesitant about it. After trying it for a couple of weeks, I am now ready for a full report.

TARTE BLiNG iT ON BLUSH PALETTE

I know it's a bit too early to probably to talk about Holiday make-ups but please indulge me just once. I just can't contain my excitement when I got hold of the new Tarte Bling It On Blush Palette. I have been dreaming of getting a blush palette from Tarte for ages and since I am going on a month holiday at the end of the year, I think this is the perfect time to get one. When I saw this palette, I didn't even think twice of getting one. I know I have to have it (classic impulsive reaction in there).

THE CONCEALER EDiT

Concealer has somehow makes a very handy companion for myself. After learning some tricks of how to properly apply concealer form the guru Lisa Eldridge by watching her youtube videos over and over again, I learnt to appreciate how staple concealer is for my make-up routine. Aside from finding the right concealer shade, finding the right concealer to suit your needs is equally important.

THE NEW JOLi ROUGE

I have been a big fan of  Clarins as you may have noticed. The brand, aside from their luxurious packaging, has also good quality products. One of the product from the brand that I totally adore is the Joli Rouge lipstick. For AW 2015, Clarins have reformulated the lipstick and revamp its packaging as well.

THE BRONZE EYESHADOW EDiT

As it is getting colder here in the UK and my winter coats are out already (ridic for September, right?) , I am also embracing more dramatic make-up looks. For me, there is something so beautiful and gorgeous about a good bronzy eyeshadow. Whether you use it on its own or with a smokey eye, it always look stunning and makes you feel like a bronze goddess. Whilst scouring my collection, I discovered some good bronzy eyeshadow worth sharing.

THE RECiPE OF THE MiNiMS

Le Couvent Des Minimes is one of a new brand that I discovered at the end of last year. It is a sister company of the infamous L'Occitane but the product of Le Couvent Des Minimes is with a more affordable price tag. Recently, the brand's infamous Recipe of the Minimes Range has a bit of a revamp and was relaunched. The new range gives a refreshing twist to the classic citrus-y scent. The whole range has six body-care essentials. The packaging is minimalist and reminds me of classic French pharmacy packaging.

MAC LiP PENCiLS FAVOURiTE

There are loads of lip pencils to choose from in the market nowadays. Whether it is the drugstore of high-end ones, you can surely choose one. There is no doubt however that only Mac offers the widest range of different shades for lip pencils. Aside from the wide range of shades that Mac offers, I also adore the quality of Mac Lip Pencils. Mac lip pencils glides on beautifully on the lips and doesn't tug when applied. It also doesn't suck the hydration away from the lips and is always comfortable. It also lasts ages and the pigmentation of the lip liners are awesome. The lip pencils are so well-pigmented that you can even use it alone on its own.

YSL VOLUPTE COLLECTiON

Last year, I went to a phase where I am just obsessed with YSL cosmetics. It was a bad time and my bank balance was not happy at all. Anyway, I pass through that phase and thanks heaven for that but I still pick another shade that is not in my collection every now and then. Due to that obsession, I discovered some good YSL products that I really love until now. My biggest love goes to the YSL Volupte Lipstick and  I cannot get over how beautiful and good these lipsticks are.

THE BODY SHOP SPA OF THE WORLD

I am a big fan of spas. The idea of relaxing and being pampered is bliss for me. I used to aim for quarterly spas before but as life gets more hectic and with my blog as well, this is not feasible anymore. Actually, going to spa is becoming more of a big treat nowadays. When The Body Shop released their Spa of the World Collection, I was very excited. Imagine almost having a spa experience in your own time and place is wonderful. Almost being the operative word as I still love having a good massage by a professional masseuse. However, the idea of using luxurious products like the ones you can find in the spas is heavenly.

AUTUMNAL BLUSHES

Autumn is almost here or it's probably here by now and I am welcoming it with open arms. Autumn is probably my favourite season. Okay, it's a tie with Summer. I love the colour that Autumn brings and the cosiness I always associate it with. Big scarves, hot chocolates with marshmallows, cosy blankets, etc. As the weather changes, my make-up choices change as well. I will be sharing with you my top 5 blushes that I will be using throughout Autumn and probably Winter.

AFFORDABLE iTEMS with BEAUTiFUL PACKAGiNG

The drugstore brands nowadays are really upping their game. There are so many drugstore products with their qualities almost equal to high-end ones. The drugstore products however often lacks the wow packaging in which you can find with its high-end counterparts. There are however exemption to the rules. Recently, I have been acquiring drugstore products with gorgeous packaging that you can even mistook them as high-end ones.

TRANSiTiONAL LiPSTiCK WARDROBE

As the days are getting chilly and the weather is quiet manic, I can feel that Autumn is just around the corner. It's that time of the year where it is quiet difficult to choose of what outfit to wear as it could be sunny one minute and pouring with rain the next. This hard choice also extends to my make-up choices. It is not that cold to bring out my deep berry lipsticks out yet and it is not that sunny to stick to my bright lipsticks. After scouring my stash and with new Autumn releases, I found five lipsticks that will get me through this transitional period. The lipsticks are not too bright yet not too dark as well. Their shades sit nicely in between the spectrum and will take you from summer to autumn.
