Current Favs.

Along with this autumn weather looming upon us (woohoo we are nearing the best few months of the year!) it only feels right to sit and write away in this little world of my own. Something so much more satisfying about being tucked up in bed with your laptop when it is raining outside. Hopefully I can pick up this little hobby to distract me when I am feeling stressed or at loss with sometimes challenging life. Also to try and break away from my 2 second attention span. I will commit to something. I will I will!

So I love things and talking about things so here are some of my favourites and why I love them.

NARS Contour Kit- Melina - £32 




















Don't get me wrong I love makeup but usually once I find something I love I stick to it because usually its expensive and I am assured its not a waste of money. I drool over buying lots and lots but I am more of  a minimal person, I like knowing I have an amount that is practical and I will use all of. I would generally die of anxiety every morning if I had draws full of makeup when I tried to get ready with such a massive choice. Anyway back to the point(I like to ramble can you tell) I finally indulged on this little gem after using hoola bronzer for the past few years and oh my god. It is a game changer. ITS INCREDIBLE!  They have a wide colour range which is great with 5 different versions to choose from meaning they have everybody covered. I am yet to use the highlighting portion however the contour powder is insane! RIDICULOUSLY pigmented. You must be careful not to be heavy handed as a little goes a long way. However saying that if you do pick up to much product it blends like a dream! Worth every penny and not the post spend depression I had on the train home after I brought it. Obsessed is not the word. I have all my best friends converted too!

Here is the link to buy it on the nars website, it is also available in most department stores and high end up beauty retailers. 

MAC Prep and Prime Fix +  - £17.50

I had um'd and ar'd about purchasing this due to the price tag and fear of it basically being glorified water but when I saw it slightly discounted in duty free on the way on holiday I caved. And thank god I did because it is amazing under my base. I apply my primer then spray this and pat it into my skin but not so its completely dry then I go on to apply foundation and it makes every single one apply flawlessly! It gives my skin the smooth base it doesn't always have so that my makeup applies perfectly. Even aids the little dry areas so if using matte foundation it doesn't cling to it! If I know I am going to have a long day I also spray this after my makeup is done to sort of set it, I am not sure if it really makes a difference but it sure does make my face feel good!

Carli Bybel Palette- $20

The love I have for this palette, as you can tell from how beat up it is! Not only is it so affordable but the eye shadows and highlighters are crazy pigmented and so long wearing! And of course not to mention its created by the beauty that is Carli Bybel. A lot of the time makeup brought out by celebrities or those in limelight can be a bit lack luster but this is some next level quality. Finding affordable eye shadows that are great is hard but even more challenging to find a highlighter from Boots or Superdrug for cheap that does the job but this one ticks all the box's! Sadly it is only available online but I found the shipping to be really quick and there were not added custom charges. Delivery is super cheap to! I think altogether including shipping costs in totaled to about £10 which is hardly anything for the quality of the product. Carli slaying her makeup line just as she does the rest of her life. 

Here is the link to buy it off the BH cosmetics website. 

TRILOGY Rose Hip Oil- £19.50-£34.50

If you look up the phrase wonder product you would 100% find this there. No skin product or prescribed medication has ever sorted the skin out on my nose like this has. I will probably one day do a indepth post about my skin and products one day but to give a bit of an overview I have suffered with rosacea kerratitis acne and the skin on my nose was just left so damaged and dry that literally nothing worked. Until this. It is rather pricey but I would pray one million to have the result its had on my face. I really had came to the end of my wit with ever finding anything to work for me until my mum heard someone mention it on This Morning stating even Kate Middleton used it and I can totally see why! It has many other uses which you can read all about here on their website. Just buy it. Even if you don't need it buy it. Miracle product it truly is!

You can purchase it here from FEELUNIQUE, a full list of stockist is available on their website right here.

Just a few of my very favourite products right now. If you would like to see a post about my holygrail favourites let me know as I am sure I could ramble about those too. Have a lovely week, I hope it treats you well!
