Friday's Fav 5: Products Worth The Hype


With the likes of Instagram and Youtube etc. we are surrounded by our favourite bloggers raving about new beauty products that we have to try. But let's be real, there is no possible way we could afford every single one, so the one's we do buy we want them to be money well spent.

 I know I've been a sucker who has wasted money on expensive products, when I could've got something better from a drugstore for a much more desirable price.

 However, with that being said, there have been products, both high end and drugstore, where I have spent the money and they have exceeded my expectations.


1. Kylie Jenner Lip Kit

I will always recommended these lipsticks until I am blue in the face. They are the best in terms of pigmentation, colour range, application and staying power. Although they are very very pricey, due to importing them from US, they are still a fantastic product and my make up bag is never without one.

2. Kat Von D Liquid Liner

I spent a long ass time looking for the perfect eyeliner. One that was easy to apply, stayed in place all day long and didn't transfer onto my eyelids (hooded eye problems, amirite?) and I finally found just that. I swear by this make up line, and the fact that it has been introduced to Debenhams in the UK is the icing on the cake.


3. LA Girl Pro Conceal

Not a high end product, but this product is up there with some of the best concealers, and instead of spending 10 times what you would on a concealer from Nars or Urban Decay you are so much better off buying this product. You'll find that even some of the top Youtube MUA's use this for the under eyes. A must have in any make up bag.


4. Anastasia Beverley Hills Dip Brow Pomade

With the brow obsession of 2016, I spent a lot of time and a lot of money trying to perfect my eyebrow routine. However, it turns out all I really needed to do was buy this product. It answers all my prayers. Super quick to apply, and you can create a variety of looks with it. Whether that will be just filling in a few sparse areas, or drawing on a whole new brow shape. The possibilities are endless..

5. Coconut Oil

AKA The Holy Grail. Coconut oil is my saviour, not only do I use it for my beauty routines but you can also make really tasty meals with it, but that's a whole other thing. So, why does every person need a jar of coconut oil in their house? It is great for hydrating your skin after you've taken your face off at the end of the day, and will remove any left over make up you might have missed. Once a week soak your hair in the oil and leave over night, you will see amazing results in the texture, shine and length of your hair. Use it on your lips, eyelashes and eyebrows to keep them hydrated and stimulate growth. Focusing on your problem areas, apply the product to your skin to help relieve dryness.

With everything that is going on in the world right now I felt inclined to submit this post that has been sat in my drafts for about 4 years.  Unless you have been living under a rock, then you will have seen that the Black Lives Matter movement is bigger than ever right now and with that, I am seeing so many wonderful people all over my platforms sharing their own stories, all in the spirit of raising awareness and tackling racism.  Before I go any further, in fear of any of you clicking out of this without getting to the bottom.

Bedroom Makeover

Image
Okay, so I briefly touched on how I redecorated my room in my last post when I mentioned what I've been up to in quarantine, but I wanted to explain in further detail just how easy this was and exactly what I did.  I use the term redecorate lightly, because all I did was shift a few things around and buy some items off the internet to spruce the room up. But it was so easy and has done wonders.  I used to think of my room as just a place for me to sleep and get dressed, but now I find myself spending a lot more time in here and I wanted to be able to shoot content in here for my blog and Instagram.  Stupidly, I didn't take any before shots so you'll have to just take my word for it. The first thing I did was move my bed around. This was hard work and something I had put off for many years. It was so heavy due to my boxes full of clothes that are stored in the bed. But we managed to do it. This now gives me full access to the natural light from the window and ...

We're all obsessed with these halter neck bodysuits now aren't we? Once you have one, it really does become a wardrobe essential and you're not quite sure how you managed without it for so long.  There are countless ways to wear them, but I wanted to show you a few of the ways I dress it up or down with jeans. Also I know it says style, but this is basically inspo on how to layer one I know we're all living in joggers lately, but I needed to inspire myself to actually take the sweats off at some point. Before I get used to wearing them permanently.  But I probably wear it most with joggers. There's something about a fitted up top with oversized joggers look *chefs kiss* The amazing thing about this bodysuit is it's double lined slinky material. So it's really comfortable, and if you didn't want to wear a bra you don't have to! It fits really nice too, I chose black because it would be more slimming and flattering, but there are so many col...
