Summer Empties 2018

Hello everyone! I can’t believe how cold it’s been here in the UK, as a result I have been suffering from a cold over the last week. It needs to hurry up and go! Anyway onto todays post I have all the makeup and skincare I’ve used up over the last 3 months! This year I have been doing empties every three months instead of every two like I did last year, making this one the penultimate one before the end of the year. Which is mad to think about as there is so much of the year left!

Sun Inspired Makeup

Hello everyone, I hope you are well! The UK had a gorgeous few months and it inspired me to start a weather inspired makeup series here on my blog. I have never done a series on my blog before and so thought that I would give it a go! In this series I will be creating wearable looks that are inspired by the seasons and the weather!

So to kick off this new series I thought what better way than with a sun inspired makeup look! It has been sunny over the past few weekends still here in the UK, so I thought I’d make the most of the sunny weather before it starts to get colder and greyer! I enjoyed wearing this look, it made me feel super happy and basically like a slice of sunshine, haha!

July & August Haul 2018

Over the last few months I have unintentionally bought quite a few new bits of makeup and so thought I would share what I have accumulated over the last few months! I did a haul in June and since then I have been away a few times and treated myself to a few goodies I have been eyeing up for a while.

At the beginning of July I went to Edinburgh and it was such an amazing time, you can check out Day One Day Two, Day Three and Day Four if you want to see what we got up to! During that trip away I bought a few things and was gifted a few for doing well in my HNC. I picked up the Becca Aqua Luminous Perfecting Concealer in Porcelain from Space NK. I don’t live near a Space NK and had been looking for a new concealer for a while. I had seen a few good reviews on this concealer and it was a good shade for my skin tone.

Colourful Makeup Look

Hey everyone! I can’t believe it’s the last day of August! Summer seems to have flown by! Recently I have had the urge to do a colourful look, I saw this video from Holly Boon and this post from Katie and I was so inspired I decided to try it myself!

Pink Glitter Princess Festival Makeup

If you’ve seen my June Haul, you’ll have seen the Certifeye Tropical Wonders palette I bought.I have been loving trying it out and I have been inspired by the colour pink to do an all pink festival makeup look! This makeup look will be focusing on the eyes!

I used the Tropical Wonders palette, taking the shade Hibiscus in the crease of my eyes, blending it out to the brow bone. I then took the shade Firefish and blended it all over the lid of the eye. Lightly blending HoneyCreeper in the outer corner of my eyes for more depth. Making sure all the shades were blended together.

Summer Declutter 2018

I did a declutter in April, which you can check out here, and I focused mainly on my eye products. I am so bad at holding onto lip products that I didn’t want to face that challenge! As I don’t often pick up quite a few shades in my collection I thought it was about time I really sorted them out. I also filmed my Makeup Collection & Declutter, which you can check out to see how I store everything here!

What’s In My Travel Bag – Summer 2018 Edition

In my two years of blogging I have never done a post like this. Over the past few weeks  I have had a lot of weekends away, so thought I would share with you what products I take away with me! Personally I only like to take makeup I know is going to work and that I love. This way I know when I’m getting ready I haven’t got to worry about anything creasing or smudging or looking like a hot mess. Plus I don’t like to spend too long on my makeup for the day as I want to be out exploring and making the most of my time off!

Spring/Summer Empties 2018

Hello everyone! Over the past few months I have been using up quite a few makeup items, which is always a good thing as it makes more space in my collection! This is possibly one of the longest empties I have done so far! So here are all the makeup and skin care products I have used up over the past 3 months!

Mid-Year Faves 2018

It has been a very long time since I have written a favourites post. It’s mainly because it has been so busy with uni over the past few months and I hadn’t really tried many new products that I had fallen in love with. Now after doing some shopping and getting round to trying new products I have a mid-year favourites! It’s mainly some  new products with a few previous faves thrown in!

Recreating One of My First Makeup Looks!

To celebrate finally going .com on my blog I thought I would reminisce and I looked back through my first blog posts. Giving me the inspiration to recreate one of my first makeup looks. I chose to do one of the first rather than the first as I wanted to do something with colour. So here is my recreation of my Pop of Green Makeup Tutorial!
