KIKO Mini Haul

Last week, while I was sorting out my makeup stash and getting rid of the unwanted products, I realised I was missing a few key bits in my collection and those had to be added.

Sadly, I had to say goodbye to my Fabindia Mask as it was causing my skin to break out because it had expired. I replaced it with the KIKO Peeling Mask and I'll report to you soon on their skincare.

My Maybelline Dream Soft Blush was getting old (5-6 years) and I was starting to fall out of love with it so I gave it to a friend which will definitely make more use out of it.

Ill be the first to admit that I have a thing for lipsticks, but I don't own any lip liners, so I bought myself the KIKO Smart Lip Pencil  in the shade 712 that matched my lip's colour which turned out to be a shade too dark, but I have the perfect red toned nude lipstick that will work just fine with this!

Have you recently bought anything?

My Essie Nailpolishes

My friend Megan (The Breakfast Report) first introduced me to Essie nailpolishes, in fact, she's the one who got me into beauty at first. At the time I didn't know much about nailpolishes' formulas, they seemed all the same to me, BIG MISTAKE.

Sunday Post: Chocablock Recipe

Cooking and baking has never been my forte. But this week, with the terrible weather we had here, I picked out a few recipes I wanted to try out to improve my skills. I've been reading Suzie's blog ever since I started blogging, in fact it was her blog which got me into blogging. She suggested the chocablock recipe and being a chocolate junkie, I knew this had to happen.

4 Tips on Burning Candles

In the last three years my love for candles has grown massively. I always like to have a candle burning in my room, especially during the cold seasons for a more cozy atmoshpere. Candle prices can vary a lot, you don't have to spend a fortune to get a good candle, IKEA have great cheap ones. At the moment I'm loving my IKEA Strawberry Candle. Over the past couple of years I learned (the hard way) a few techniques on how to burn candles and make the most out of them.

No Makeup Look

I've never been a heavy makeup wearer. A more natural look suits me better and it's perfect for school when every extra minute spent in bed is fundamental, and by the time you realise what time it is, you have ten minutes to leave the house. 

Autum Outfit: The Mustard Shirt

 As I mentioned in Sunday's Post Cathchin' Up (here), I spent the last days before school started on catching up with friends, blogging and capturing a few outfit pictures, which my friend dutifully took for me whilst we were out exploring. I thought today I’d share my Autumn outfit.

Empties | II

This morning I finished my second round of empties today. I found that setting yourself a goal makes it easier to use up a product, and there's no better feeling than when you reach the bottom of a product (if you didn't spend fortune on it and you loved it). In the last couple of months, my skincare and makeup stash has massively increased in number of products, so to condense it a little and be left with the staple products (and a few sneaky other treats), I've been sticking to the rule 'use up two and purchase one' which has helped a lot.
