Beauties❤️
Who is excited for fall season and fall makeup looks....  I am soo ready to bathe in dark colours and play with shades, shimmer and glitter, and to simply go big, bold with my looks.
I have quite a few Beauty Favorites from the previous months that I am excited to share with you beauties..

Current Favorites 2016

Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau De Toilette. £41-81 www.tomford.com

My favourite scent that am obsessing over at the moment is this tall dark beauty.
Black Orchid is dressed in all matte black and  shade of gold. The top notes of black truffle and ylang-ylang are mixed with fresh bergamot and black currant.
The heart of the perfume is Tom Ford's fictional "Black Orchid" with tuberose and fruity accords. The composition gets more intense with oriental base of lotus wood, patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, vanilla and incense. A lighter warm scent which i love, and very long lasting.


MAC Cosmetics Extra Dimension Skinfinish- Beaming Blush. £24 www.maccosmetics.co.uk

Is a gorgeous pink that breaks into gold highlighter that gives a luminous, well-defined finish.

It adds a beautiful glow to the skin, lasts up to ten hours when applied. The texture and pigmentation of the powder is extremely silky, fined milled almost as if it was a liquid Its a dream to apply, not at all powdery or chunky. I use a brush to apply it and when i need a more intense glow I use a damp brush. I use this as an eyeshadow, on my tear duct, a blush topper etc. This has been a staple for me, I could put it all over my face if I can. This is a permanent shade from the MAC In the Spotlight range along with the rest of the shades.


Lanolin LanoLips 101 Ointment. £10.99 www.boots.com

I received this a while back in my glossybox monthly subscription box, and I've been using this on my lips at night. It is a multi-balm so it can be used on your cuticles, on the lips and physically anywhere you have dry skin.
It leaves my lips super smooth soft in the morning. Consistency is thick but not drippy or uncomfortable. Its been used daily and have nearly ran out of it! especially in the winter months this is a great product. I will definitely be buying a full size, it's a must have for my makeup bag!


Morphe Brushes Eyeshadow palettes

I especially like the morphe palettes because you are getting good quality, mega loads for the price you pay, color payoff on these are one of the best. The shades in each palette blends really well, very easy to work with, some of the metallic/foiled shades are better applied with my finger tip, for more intensity on the lids.The eyeshadows last without creasing or fading up to 10 hours,when used on top of an eyeshadow primer.

Morphe brushes eyeshadow palettes can be purchased directly online from Morphe Brushes, Cult Beauty and Beauty Bay (UK) so  you don't have to worry about custom charges.

35F Fall Into Frost Eyeshadow Palette. £18.36 www.morphebrushes.com

Personally this is by far one of the prettiest palette by morphe I've used. This includes 7 brand new matte shades and 28 metallic colors. Morphe describes the palette as “A flawless collection of frosty colors with a shimmering finish paired with a hint of  necessary neutrals that makes this palette a staple for all occasions.”

This is an essential party season staple palette, I mean why bother buying an expensive eyeshadow palette when you can get this affordable beauty of a palette for a fraction less with an amazing, highly pigmented shades. Endless looks can be created with just this, without reaching out for another.
The eyeshadows are smooth, buildable, the shades are not chunky, but finely milled even though they are metallic. Not much fall when applying and the shadows glides smoothly on skin.

35OM 35 Color Matte Nature Glow Eyeshadow Palette. £18.36 www.morphebrushes.com

Almost every shade you need to create a warm toned to a cool neutral eye look is in this palette, from different shades of brown to oranges and corals and a gorgeous metallic.

The finish of the palette is mostly matte or satin, the eyeshadows are very pigmented, smooth, with lots of options to create crease shades or to darken up the outer corners. It is also a great palette for beginner.

35OS Shimmer Nature Glow Eyeshadow Palette. £18.36 www.morphebrushes.com

Is the opposite and shimmer version of the 35O. A highly pigmented eyeshadow palette, and with one sweep across the pigment payoff is enough. Has a bit of a fall out when applying on the lids but nothing cray. This palette ranges from shimmery light and dark gold shades, to peachy shimmery shades, to soft and warm red shimmery, brown shades,and more. An endless amount of looks can be created with the variety in the palette, there are shades to suit every skin tone. The palette is an amazing product, hence why it is one of my favorites. I love it!

Beauty Blender - Nude . £16 www.cultbeauty.co.uk

I just bought a new one, and honestly beauty blender are and have been my best friend during the throughout the entire year, I don't even remember the last time I used a brush for any liquid foundation, concealer etc. The beauty blender sponges comes in several colors: Pink- classic, Black- Pro, White- Pure, Red- Red Carpet, and now Nude.
It eliminates lines and streaks, blends everything in perfectly creating the perfect skin canvas after application. The sponge is super-plush, moisture loving and has minimal water retention. easy to clean with baby shampoo. No matter how hard I want to love the dupes of the Beauty Blender, it's never the same. If you're looking for a sponge, just do yourself a favor and splurge for the sake of your foundation makeup.


LA Girl HD Smoothing Face Primer. £6 www.beautybay.com

The formula of this product is a clear gel, making it wearable on any skintone. I've been using this everyday. I really recommend this for your everyday makeup, as its very affordable and does exactly what it says. Creates a smooth, supple velvety base for makeup. An affordable dupe to Benefit Porefessional Primer.

L'oreal Micellar Soft Water. £5.99 www.superdrug.com

This is a micellar water, made with purified water from an advanced purification process, and combined micelles that capture impurities, for an effective cleansing, which is also gentle on sensitive skin. It removes makeup, by dissolving make-up from the face, eyes and lips in one gentle action, without rubbing or rinsing. Cleanses by delicately capturing impurities, and soothes by calming the skin and prevents irritation.
I use it as a makeup remover especially on my eyes to wipe away even waterproof mascara and it is gentle on my skin. Contains no alcohol, no perfume and great for sensitive skin.

SLEEK Cleopatra's Kiss Highlighting Palette. £10 www.sleekmakeup.com

This is a versatile palette that instantly enhances the complexion with a golden glow, an intense metallic finish to create a gorgeous luminous sheen on the skin. It includes two baked powders and two cream formula, which comes packed in a luxurious gold casing. Suits all skin tones.

I like to apply the cream highlighters first as a base and then putting the powder for a smooth stunning radiant highlight. An amazing quality product for the price, great for day and night look. I love the sheen, quality, price and packaging of this.

LA ROCHE-POSAY Thermal Spring Water. £6.99 www.superdrug.com

Thermal Spring Water is ideal for daily use and can be used to soothe and soften sensitive skin, comfort and tone the skin after cleansing and hydrate and refresh skin in warmer weather. It soothes and softens skin. I use this to sometimes help set my make-up. It refreshes my face and gives me a matte clean feeling. A perfect handy bag item, great for travel and on flight's to keep skin cool and fresh.


Morphe Brushes Rose Gold Highlight Definer Brush (R31). £5.50 www.cultbeauty.co.uk

From the newest Rose Gold collection. Really good i love..  The rounded bristles allows for precise application so you can highlight smaller areas like the tip of the nose and above the Cupid’s bow. The shape of this brush is almost a rounded eyeshadow shading brush but considerably bigger. The brush is incredibly soft, tapered and blends out product easily. I have several uses for this brush, firstly for applying blush, helps to create a natural and subtle look, which i like and this rounded brush fits perfectly for applying powder, and highlighter, it allows the dispense of powder highlighter lightly and evenly for an airbrushed finish. Definitely worth the price, it also looks luxurious with the Rose Gold and black effect.
