Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation: An Exciting New Launch

Back in July - which seems like absolutely years ago now, I headed to London for the afternoon for the launch of Charlotte Tilbury's new Magic Foundation*. You may have caught a few snippets on Instagram (I also vlogged the day too which you can see here), but I wanted to wait until the product had actally launched to really spill the beans on just how good this is. Believe me, it's been a hard one to keep in!

July Favourites

Excuse the monthly cliché of pointing out how quickly the last four weeks have gone by, but seriously.. what happened to July!? One minute I'm rounding off the last part of #ICovetJune (playlist here if you're still not caught up) and the next it's August and I'm left wondering where the last thirty-one days have vanished to.

Mid-Year Beauty Round Up: Make Up & Skincare Favourites

Rounding up the best in beauty has become a bit of a yearly thing now and I usually dedicate the first few days of January to trolling through a years worth of monthly favourite videos (see the playlist here if you fancy doing the same!) in order to pick out the best of the best from the whole twelve months. As we've just reached August though (can you believe it!?) I thought I'd revisit the same format of video but look back at how things have changed over the last six months. Not surprisingly, quite a few things have remained the same, but I've also discovered some new life-long favourites and changed my mind about a few old ones!

Clinique Pop Lips

Last month I stopped by the Clinique Pop Lips stand in Bluewater (incidentally my first visit - my god how huge is that place!?) to have a play with some of the new Pop Lip Lipsticks and take my own #LipPic! The girls manning the stand were so lovely and picked out the bright pink Wow Pop as the shade for me - what can I say I love a pink lip, then proceeded to let me loose on the photo booth!

Two Kiehl's Products I'm Loving

My love for Kiehl's has been well documented in the past, to point where if I'm not featuring the brand in a monthly favourites video, something must be up. I really can't get enough of their products and the two newest additions to my collection are no exception.

June Favourites

So we've made it six months into the year and in record time no less, during which my beauty favourites have been well and truly stacking up. I'll have a full rundown of my most used products from the first half of the year coming to you soon which will be covering all bases from skincare to make up, so for June's addition I kept it short and sweet - or at least that was the intention. Cue a twelve minute ramble including my thoughts on blue eyeliner, scalp exfoliation and the best way to tackle in-shower tanning!

Birthday Make Up!

Continuing with the Birthday themed posts comes a make up routine that I not only pulled out for the big day last week, but have been loving ever since. Making a change from my usual black winged liner I've been opting for a navy blue shade which, although subtle, really makes such an interesting difference, and of course a bold lip - it wouldn't have been right without one! There's always something a little bit more special about Birthday make up so I hope you like this one as much as I did!

Get Un-Ready With Me: After Party Night Time Routine

As much as I love the process of getting ready for a night out, putting on a full face of make up and bringing out the heels, my favourite part of the evening is usually taking it all off again! Last week I stayed at Shoreditch House with St Tropez as a little introduction to their In Shower Gradual Tan (FYI, its fab!) and one pizza, three cocktails and hours of chatting later I headed back to my room for a post-party wind down...

Summer Bronze Smokey Eye

There's nothing I love more than a bronzey gold eye product, and when one comes along with a formula as good as the Charlotte Tilbury Eyes To Mesmerise (previously seen in this month's favourites, can you tell I'm having a bit of a moment with these?) there isn't much I can do to stop myself incorporating it into every make up look in my roster. A light wash over the lid for everyday, smudged into the lash line for a colourful take on liner and probably my favourite of all.. packing on as much as possible for an all out smokey eye, which when paired with fresh skin and a light hand on the blusher/bronzer has become one of my go-to Summer looks of the moment!

May Favourites & Exciting Announcement!

Hello June! Although my brain is still questioning why the Christmas tree isn't up we've managed to make it halfway through the year already and into my favourite month - Birthday bias, of course! Not only am I turning 23 (eek!) but I've got some incredibly exciting things coming up over the next few weeks and you'll be coming along with me for all of them! Stay tuned to the end of this video to find out why.. Oh the mystery.

Five Years of Topshop Beauty

It's been five years this month since Topshop took their first steps into the world of beauty with their very own make up line, and I've been continually impressed with the collections, colours and products in general since my very first purchase - which definitely doesn't feel like that long ago! From the blushers that I owned in just about every colour to the nail polishes - always on trend shades that you just can't seem to find anywhere else, there's just something undeniably cool about Topshop make up, and to celebrate the anniversary the now iconic spotty black and white packaging of some of their best loved products has been given a rose gold upgrade.

Current Skincare Favourites & Morning/Evening Routine

Skincare, skincare, skincare. Let's talk about skincare! I feel like I've been dying to make this video for so long, as - come on, it's just the best subject to talk about. From it's importance as a foundation for make up to discovering new exciting ingredients and building up a routine there's just no end the amount I could go on about skincare! Luckily for you though, I've condensed about an hour's worth of rambling into one bite-size chunk to digest today, chatting through my current favourites of the moment, some new additions and how they all fit into my morning and evening routines.
