Another article from my magazine, AURA, that I created as my final design piece for university, is an interview with fashion and bridal makeup artist Catherine Bailey. She gives her tips and advice for breaking into the industry, what inspires her, favourite brands…etc. I love interviewing people and finding out more about them and their stories. Hope you find … More Interview with Catherine Bailey
I know I’ve talked about quite a few different foundations on here, and each time I think I’ve found the best one… but now I actually think I have found the absolute best. The Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear foundation is unbeatable, and it goes with the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer amazingly. I’m not going … More The best foundation and concealer
Two and a half years ago, I created a magazine called Aura that focused on makeup artistry for my final project at uni. It included tips and advice for aspiring makeup artists, breaking into the industry, info on makeup products, trends, and featured interviews with photographers and makeup artists and showcased some of their work. … More Interview with Edita Simutyte
This stuff has been raved about by beauty bloggers, and just the general public, for years. It’s that one luxury product that I’ve always wanted but couldn’t bring myself to spend £39 on. However, the other day when shopping with a friend in Covent Garden, we stopped by Space.N.K (always a risky move), and I … More Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm
It seems like liquid matte lipsticks are having another moment – they were everywhere a few years ago and then the hype died down a bit as glossy products took over, and now they’re back! Charlotte Tilbury, Dior, and Nars all launched very similar products around the same time within the last month… and, I … More Nars Powermatte Lip Pigment and Lipliner
When the Bord de Plage Highlighting and Bronzing palette first came out a couple months ago at the Nars counter where I work, we all almost lost our minds. It is what we’ve been waiting for – I was never that amazed by the limited range of Nars highlighters before, but this is just be-a-u-tiful. … More Nars Bord de Plage palette
I’m not one for fake tanning – definitely not sun beds and I usually hate the effort (and the smell!) of self tanning. But I was going to Spain earlier this month and hated the thought of being the only pasty white English girl on the beach. A friend told me about this new product, … More L’Oreal Sublime Bronze overnight self tan
I’ve been searching pretty much my whole adult life to find a foundation that actually works for my skin. I need it to have a bit of a glowy finish but not too shiny, give enough coverage without looking heavy, and last all day. And I think I’ve finally found the one! I’d never tried … More Too Faced Born this Way foundation
I’ve seen great things about this cleanser for a long time now, but could never justify spending £29.50 on one skincare product when there are much more affordable options out there. But let me just say, it was the best £29.50 I’ve ever spent. The Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel has changed my skin and improved … More Oskia Renaissance cleansing gel
After using cheap drugstore moisturisers most of my life, I decided it was about time to invest in some high-end, better quality ones – even if they’re not in budget. I love these two brands so thought I’d try out their skincare products and see what they’re all about! The Nars Luminous Moisture Cream and … More Nars Luminous Moisture Cream vs Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream
I really struggle to find a good foundation that works for my (very difficult, combination) skin. Usually, foundations don’t sit well on my skin, look too heavy, or get too shiny throughout the day. All I want is non-oily, smooth, blemish-free skin… but then again don’t we all! Then I discovered these two cushion foundations … More Two cushion foundations
The beauty of working for one of my all-time favourite makeup brands is the freebies. These are some cute samples we were given – firstly, let’s just appreciate how mini and adorable they are! I think NARS does everything right – the packaging is so sophisticated, cool, and modern, and the products themselves are all … More Nars miniatures
