<br />
My every day makeup is not actually very exciting, the main thing I change up is usually my lip colour, the easiest way to change up a look in my opinion! As you can imagine, this means I have a massive range of lip colours, ranging from the reddest lipstick to the nudest of liquid lipsticks. Continue reading to hear my thoughts on the new <a href="http://bit.ly/2xAc7fb" target="_blank">Rouge Velvet the Lipstick</a> from Bourjois!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
This new range of lipsticks from Bourjois has definitely got my attention though, super pigmented, creamy, comfortable and totally matte, what more could you ask for from a lipstick?<br />
<br />
The range has a great selection of colours, with 12 shades to choose from. I've got five which I have tested here and loved! These lipsticks apply like a dream- initially it feels like a creamy lipstick, within a few seconds it has set and is totally matte. The lasting power is great, though I do have to top up after a meal, this doesn't bother me in the slightest as I don't think I've ever tried a lip product that doesn't need a touch up after food.<br />

<br />
What I love about these lipsticks and what I think sets them apart is the colour payoff/opacity of the colour and the fact that they set completely matte while still being very comfortable to wear. For me, these have the impact of a liquid lipstick without feeling drying or causing that dreaded line on the inner lip *shudder*<br />

<br />
The shape of the bullet makes applying the lipstick mega easy, it's a sort of teardrop shape that curves to fit the lip, with sharp edges which means you can easily use them to line your lips- I didn't use a lipliner for any of my swatches and there's still plenty of definition.<br />
<br />
My only niggle is that I find the packaging a little tricky, the plastic is very solid and the lid is quite difficult to click on and off, but it's just a minor annoyance!<br />
<br />

<br />
Here are the swatches for the lipsticks, I've included some full face shots for some of the shades so you can get a better idea of how the lipstick looks on.These were all with one swipe of lipstick so you can really see what I mean about how opaque they are!<br />

I feel like I don't need to say much about the packaging of these products, the beauty of it speaks for itself. Super luxe packaging is what you get with this brand, and you'd expect no less! The primer and Gel Highlighter both come in the exact same style of frosted glass bottle with hardened plastic lids and pump. They may not be great for travelling but make for a beautifull addition to your dressing table!<br />

The <a href="http://tidd.ly/998bb3db" target="_blank">Perfecting Coconut Face Primer</a> has a very lightweight, thin consistency and feels cooling on the skin. I really like the fact that it doesn't feel tacky on my skin like some other primers do, but has just enough stick to it to allow foundation to sit nicely on top of it. I find my foundation stays looking fresh for much longer when I'm wearing this! It has a pleasant, light coconut-ty fragrance, nothing too strong. I'm always hesitant to put anything too scented on my skin, I just feel like it'll break me out. When I use this primer I tend to skip my moisturiser as it is hydrating enough used alone, it leaves my skin plump and fresh, ready for makeup.<br />

My favourite way to use the primer however, is to mix it with their Coconut Gel Highlighter. I mix them in equal parts and apply all over the face for a 'lit from within' glow that just leaves my skin looking healthy and glowing. I then apply my foundation as normal on top.<br />

The <a href="http://tidd.ly/eaf78f7a" target="_blank">'Dew You?' Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter</a> has fast become one of my favourite highlighters so far this year. The finish is unique in that it has no visible glitter, if you use it directly on your skin above make up, you're left with glistening skin that just looks healthy and beautiful without any cakiness or obvious shimmer chunks.<br />

You can mix it in with your primer as I mentioned, or mix it with foundation too to give it a dewy finish. Used on it's own above foundation, you can highlight the tops of your cheeks, cupids bow and wherever else you fancy! I find it works the best used with a damp beauty blender, you need to work fast though as it sets pretty quickly. You can leave it as it is or add a powder highlight on top to leave your skin fully beaming!<br />

I love the multi-use versatility of products like this, in this picture I mixed the primer with the highlighter for the dewy glow that you can see, making the skin look healthy. I also used the highlighter by itself on the tops of my cheeks and on the tip of my nose.<br />

Having done the makeup for countless brides during my career, I've shared the final rushed moments before a girl leaves her home for her wedding many times. One of the last things almost every girl does before she leaves is spritz her wedding day perfume all over, I did it myself on my own wedding day.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I didn't know then just how important that wedding fragrance would become to me, one sniff of that perfume and I'm transported back to all the feelings of giddy nerves, excitement and anticipation of that day and as I used it afterwards too - it reminds me of the honeymoon period! Hardly anything brings back a rush of memories like a scent does and I wish I'd paid more attention to the perfume that I wore on my big day as I now feel like I've grown out of scent I chose!<br />

There are very few events more lavish than a big fat Asian wedding, so it only makes sense to choose fragrances that are just as opulent for your big day. When I think of luxury fragrances, Jo Malone is where my mind strays to straight away. With their lush packaging and beautiful long lasting scents, I don't think you can go wrong. Here are some picks from the brand that I think are perfect layered or used separately. I strayed away from the floral scents that are usually associated with wedding day perfumes and chose these beauties! From a dry oil, to body cream to a Perfume, I've got you covered!<br />

New to me, this Dry Body Oil is probably my favourite of the three products as it's not the usual way I'd choose to scent myself but works so well. It smells absolutely stunning- I'd describe the smell as rich and woody, with a touch of sweetness. Not only does it leave you smelling heavenly, it conditions your skin and leaves a beautiful subtle glow once you've rubbed it in, leaving no stickiness either. The smells lingers all day and isn't at all overpowering. This might be one that is perfect for after the wedding too, when you're tired and want to freshen up, this is perfect to revive your skin and leave you glistening too.</div>

Fragrance is such a personal thing, but if you like sweet, musky scents that are rich without being overpowering, this might be your perfect pick from Jo Malone. It differs from the usual Oud scent, but still somehow has a familiar Middle Eastern kick to it. Notes of almond and vanilla sweeten the deal to make it such a pleasant, wearable scent. It could easily be layered over the Dry Oil or Body Creme to create a customised fragrance or used alone, it's so versatile but stands well alone too.<br />

If I were to ask most people I know what their favourite Jo Malone scent is, I can almost be certain that they'd say Velvet Rose & Oud. The most decadent of Jo Malone fragrances in my opinion, this smells just as you'd expect an Oud scent to smell, with the added hit of rose. An option I hadn't considered before is this fragrance in the Body Creme form. Just as strong as it's sister Cologne, this creme packs as much of a punch in the fragrance stakes as if you'd sprayed in on yourself. It leaves your skin beautifully moisturised while leaving you smelling deliciously rich and like you'd fit right in in the Middle East. I also love the Cologne Intense in this scent, I've just run out of a full bottle!<br />
<br />
<br />
Whether you want to buy yourself your wedding scent or are looking for a gift for bride to be, Jo Malone have you covered. I've even discovered that they have a special '<a href="http://bit.ly/2fyf2OR" target="_blank">Bridal Lace Bottle Collection</a>' with even more beautifully packaged versions of these same Colognes, but for your wedding day- or any occasion really!<br />

I'm forever being asked for affordable foundation recommendations and I always say the same thing, foundations are one part of my makeup routine that I like to splurge on for quality. Then I tried this <a href="http://bit.ly/2qPks84" target="_blank">Total Control Drop Foundation</a> from NYX...<br />

Packaged in this sleek glass bottle, with a dropper/pipette applicator, it definitely feels like a high end foundation</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Most importantly, the formula doesn't disappoint. I've never tried a foundation like it, it's super liquidy- it literally runs down your face if you dropper it on as I tend to do. Somehow though, it dries to a beautiful matte finish without being cakey at all. At first I tested it without powdering at all, it lasted perfectly for a few hours but I got very shiny in my problem areas around my nose and forehead quite early on. So the next time I powdered and it lasted all day, only starting to fade on my nose a little by the late evening. For me that's amazing as I'm usually an oil slick by the end of the day if I use anything other than my Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation.</div>

<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Application</u></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The idea with this foundation is that you have total control of how much coverage you'd like, hence the name. NYX say to use two drops for sheer coverage, three for medium coverage and four+ for full coverage. One thing I have to say is that I do have to use quite a few drops to get the sort of coverage I like, it is very light- but I love the control I have as it doesn't get cakey at all even with the build up. I can imagine getting through a bottle pretty fast if I used it every day, at £14 a bottle though, it won't break the bank to repurchase! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I find it works best by dropping directly onto the skin and working in with a brush, then buffing away any lines with a Beauty Blender. Using a Beauty Blender last avoids the very liquidy foundation getting absorbed by the sponge straight away, but I ALWAYS have to finish my foundation off with a sponge, nothing else gives me the flawless finish that I like.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Shade Range</u></h3>
<div>
For an affordable foundation, the shade range is brilliant. There are 24 shades in total, ranging from the palest 'Pale' shade, to the darkest- 'Deep Espresso'. I love that there are a broad range of shades, not just pink toned nude colours. There's a good selection of cool and warm tones in each shade range too, light, medium and deep. I really think this is one where most people will find a colour to suit them, if not then it won't hurt too much to buy two and mix shades for the price point.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I matched myself with 'Vanilla' and I'm usually an NC20 in MAC foundation. It oxidised veryy slightly on me throughout the day, although I don't think I've ever found a foundation that hasn't oxidised on me, it must be my skin!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All in all, for £14 I think it's a great all rounder foundation- I think it could work well on most skin types, maybe barring the most dry skin as it does set matte. Definitely give it a try next time you're at a NYX stand or at the NYX Westfield Stratford store!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The foundation is available <a href="http://bit.ly/2qPks84" target="_blank">HERE</a> on the NYX website.</div>

Ramadan Kareem my lovelies! Hope you're all having a great first fast and that these long days aren't too testing for you! IF they are, you might enjoy a little treat at the end of the day, to have a little pamper when you're not feeling your best. That's where this gem comes in!</div>

For the last few years, The Body Shop have released a 'Countdown To Eid' beauty calendar, this year being no different. I was kindly sent one to review and am honestly astounded by the beauty of the thing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The attention to detail in the packaging is second to none, I really appreciate the thought that seems to have gone into the Islamic inspired design of the product. It comes in a hard cardboard outer packaging, with double doors that open to reveal the prettiest little individual boxes, numbered to 30 in Arabic. Thirty boxes of-course, so that you are able to open a box each day until Eid to reveal a Body Shop beauty treat (give or take a day dependent on the moon!). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think it's a brilliant idea, we tend to neglect ourselves during the month of Ramadan, which is understandable; but, there's reward in looking after yourself too! This is a great way to encourage yourself or a friend/relative to do the same.</div>

There's a great mix of The Body Shop products in the box, ranging from skincare, bodycare, makeup, fragrance and even tools like brushes and a nail buffer. I'll include a full list right at the bottom of this post incase you don't want a complete spoiler! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It isn't cheap at £80, but you are paying for a luxurious treat, full size Body Shop goodies and the end of each day. Worth it in my opinion if you are a beauty lover like myself and consider that the contents of the box combined are worth over £150.</div>

It'd be a great gift for someone for Ramadan, especially a young girl who is maybe keeping her first year of fasts, or a teen who you'd like to make Ramadan more exciting for without it being childish. The products inside are definitely suited to anyone though, young or old!<br />

Some may say that bringing out an Eid range is just a marketing ploy from brands, designed to bring in the Muslim consumer, which may be true. However, I personally love the fact that we are being recognised as a valuable consumer, with huge buying power behind us! Everyone I know loves a Muslim targeted product, it's lovely to feel included, especially with a product so wonderfully thought out and designed, embracing the beauty of Islamic art.<br />

I even plan to keep the individual boxes and packaging to use once empty, when my son is old enough to understand I'd love to fill each box with little treats for him to make Ramadan that little more exciting, I can't wait myself!<br />

Who knew The Body Shop did liquid lipsticks? I certainly didn't! I love The Body Shop for skincare and body care and swear by their Aloe Day Cream, my holy grail moisturiser! I was kindly sent some makeup over to try and was pleasantly surprised. <a name='more'></a></div>

With a creamy, velvet matte texture, these are the exact type of liquid lipstick that I like. They go on creamy and pigmented, take a little while to fully dry but once set they are stay put without feeling dry or uncomfortable. The formula is also lightweight the way I like it. One downside is that they don't last as long as I'd like, after a meal I usually need a top up especially in the middle of the lip. To be fair though, I usually expect this in creamy velvet formulations- I'd rather top up than have the dreaded dry line along my bottom lip that comes with a really really matte liquid lippy!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
My favourite shade is Taipei Orchid, the perfect rosy pink shade, easy to wear every day and goes with almost every makeup look.</div>

Like all The Body Shop products, these liquid lipsticks are cruelty free, vegetarian and carmine free- a plus in my books!</div>
<br />
<br />
At just £6 each they're definitely worth a try if like me, you're a sucker for a liquid lipstick but don't love the discomfort that tends to come with. You can find them <a href="https://www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb/make-up/lips/matte-lip-liquid/p/p002171" target="_blank">HERE </a><br />

<a href="http://tidd.ly/9dd76378" target="_blank">Stila Magnificent Metals Glitter and Glow Liquid Eyeshadows (£23)</a> had my attention as soon as I laid my eyes on them, glitter that's already mixed in an easy to wear liquid? Right up my street!<br />

These little beauties are definitely one of my favourite makeup finds of the year, I've barely touched my pot glitter eyeshadows since I bought these which is really saying something. Packaged in neat little rectangle bottles, these eyeshadows pack a real punch. They're super easy to use, you can apply directly onto your eyelid using the doe foot applicator or use a brush, applying directly definitely gives the most payoff though.<br />

The glitter fallout from using these is minimal if you even have any at all, I personally haven't noticed an issue when using these but some people have mentioned a little. As with any glitter product, as the glitter particles in this are 'real glitter' and not just shimmer, if you rub at it rigorously with a blending brush you may have some fall out.<br />
<br />
I haven't had any creasing with these either, I just pop a bit on and I'm good to go all day. Removal is easy too, I can remove these quickly with a wipe or makeup remover without getting glitter everywhere or scratching my eyes, which is a big plus for me.<br />

As you can see from the photos, even without the flash they eyeshadows 'glow' as the name suggests! There is definitely a difference between colour payoff/ texture dependent on the shade you use though. From the colours that I have, I find that 'Gold Goddess' and and 'Diamond Dust' have the least payoff, I'd describe these as more of 'topper' to be worn to add sparkle over eyeshadow rather than worn alone- I actually like this as I feel they are a lot more versatile like this as a plain silver and gold shade. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The other shades though have a lot more of a pigmented base colour to them, making them easy to be worn alone and blended out or worn over eyeshadow. My favourites are Smoky Storm and Bronzed Moon, the latter having the most colour and glitter payoff of them all. I tend to apply my eyeshadow, complete all my blending etc, then add these as a final step and soften the edges softly before applying eyeliner/lashes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The glitter in these is very fine, so if you prefer a chunky, very high impact glitter then these may not be for you; although I have applied these and then added more of my own glitter on top- the base works perfectly as glue for added glitter too!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I highly recommend these if you are on the market for a glitter eyeshadow without any of the faff, there's no need to shy away from them even if you're a beginner. Let me know if you've tried these or if you'll be picking one up!</div>

My first foray into Too Faced makeup was with the Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow Palette, with it's cutesy/gimmicky packaging, I wasn't quite sure what to expect- but it didn't disappoint!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With almost every neutral shade of shadow you'd need to get an epic smoky eye,</div>
<a name='more'></a>or even just a wash of gold over the lid for an effortless summer look, this palette get a thumbs up from me. It has a range of matte, glittery and shimmer shades, all buttery soft and pigmented. The fact that the palette has a sweet chocolate smell is an added bonus, but doesn't make the palette for me. It could also be improved with the addition of a matte black shade, but maybe that's just me, I like a black shade in every palette.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The standout shade for me in the palette is 'Creme Brulee', a beautiful bronze gold with amazing colour payoff. Pressed onto the centre of the lid to finish off a look or used all over for a hi-def glow, it's a gorgeous colour that suits a huge array of looks.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
'Champagne Truffle', the large shimmer shade on the bottom row is great used as a highlight on the brow bone, inner corners of the eyes and even on the cheeks!</div>

And just like that..one year has passed. I don't even know where to start when it comes to talking about this whirlwind of a journey into motherhood. From not knowing if I was ever going to become a mother, to having a real-life tiny human depending on me for every little thing was no easy transition!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
I know its cliché to say but it really has been worth every second, despite the tears (from both of us!), sleepless nights and days spent breastfeeding and the lack of alone time, I wouldn't change it for the world. Well, I lie, I would LOVE a decent nights sleep, but more on that later!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
With parenting advice being shoved in our faces constantly, I've learnt in this last year to stop second guessing myself. Motherly instinct is <i>real, </i>from the second I held my son in my arms I knew what he needed probably before he knew himself, and definitely before anyone else did!<br />
<br />
Along with that instinct came this GUILT that I was not expecting, guilt over every little thing! Guilt for wanting him to sleep, guilt for feeling irritated when he wanted yet another feed <i>just </i>after I put him down, guilt when he cried, guilt when I left him to shower...just guilt guilt guilt! Parenting isn't easy by any means, but I've learnt that we need to give ourselves a break once in a while, for our own sanity and so that we can be the best versions of ourselves for our little bubbas!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
I lost a lot of myself this year, and learnt how it feels to truly put someone else's needs before my own without a second thought. I'm starting to come out of the other side of what a friend of mine calls 'The Matrix' of new motherhood, this little bubble of a world that you build around yourself, where it's just easier to stay at home where it's familiar and easier to deal with your new baby, after all, nobody wants to be juggling a crying baby with people staring, right?!<br />
<br />
I remember my first trip out shopping alone with Yahya, he was probably around 7/8 weeks old and I thought I'd finally be able to handle it. I figured I'd just feed him a bottle quietly in a corner of Costa and it'd be a doddle! He'd never taken a bottle, I wasn't confident enough to breastfeed in public and I didn't know that most shopping centres have feeding rooms these days. Needless to say, he screamed the place down after half an hour of our arrival, refused to drink anything and I just about managed to rush to the car with him in my arms while simultaneously pushing the buggy before I started crying. I didn't let that put me off though, I knew I needed to get out and about before I lost my mind sitting at home. So the next time, I just made sure I was better prepared, even if it meant I was sat in a feeding room every half an hour!<br />
<br />
One year on, things are so much easier, he's eating 'normal' food and zooms around the house like the Energizer Bunny (safety gates will become your best friend!). He gives kisses and cuddles, so it finally feels like my love is being reciprocated. I've been told by practically every mother I know that this is the best stage so to make the most of it before he becomes this terrible monster child once he hits two. I'll update you if this happens, I'm praying not! Positive thinking and all that!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
Watching my son, Yahya, grow from a tiny little 6.7lb bundle to an almost-walking one year old astounds me every day. They weren't kidding when they said they grow before your very eyes! Time is flying wayy too fast for my liking and I've made a resolution to sit back and watch my baby with fresh eyes every day, to breathe him in as much as I can before he grows into a surly teenager who refuses to kiss me one day (I hope not!). Whenever things aren't going my way, I remind myself that the early years are so short, a flash in the long run. One day I will be yearning for these simpler times with my little boy. I don't want to wish away these years so I am teaching myself to appreciate every moment.<br />

<br /></div>
Cover FX isn't a brand we heard a lot about in the UK until fairly recently, little did I know that they had so many gems to offer! One product that has become a firm favourite of mine is their Custom Enhancer Drops in the shade 'Moonlight'.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
They can be mixed in with or applied under your regular foundation to give a dewy glow or used directly on top of make-up for a really high impact. Not at all glittery, the drops give a beautiful sheen to the skin when used directly on the high points of the face- tops of cheeks, cupids bow, bridge and tip of the nose and on the brow bone (you may as well go all out!). A little goes a loong way so the tiniest of drops will do!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I like to apply the product with a small stipple brush from the back of my hand so it can be blended without any harshness, then pat in evenly using a damp Beauty Blender so as not to move any foundation around. It dries and sets pretty fast so you need to work quickly or you can end up with quite an obvious stripe once it's set.<br />
<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
Moonlight is a slightly warm champagne shade which works really well on my skin tone as well as on mid to dark tones skin so it's a great all rounder. On my model above, I patted a small amount onto her cheeks using my fingertips then patted smooth with a damp Beauty Blender for high impact. </div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are loads of shades to choose from from paler more pearly shades to darker bronze shades, with or without shimmer. At £34 the Custom Enhancer drops aren't cheap but you only need the tiniest bit of product to make an impact so it's sure to last you a long time. They can be purchased <a href="https://www.spacenk.com/uk/en_GB/brands/c/cover-fx/custom-enhancer-drops-UK200017544.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> from SpaceNK in the UK! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
With so many new beauty products out on the market every year, it takes a lot for a beauty junkie like myself to get excited over a concept. Beauty Pie however, piqued my interest straight away!<br />
<br />
Basically, the idea with Beauty Pie is that you pay a monthly fee of £10 to become a member so that you have the privilege of buying their high-end quality products at rock bottom factory prices, no mark up! On their site you can see how much the product would normally cost to a non-member- for example, <br />
<a name='more'></a>their<a href="https://www.beautypie.com/uk/face/foundation/everyday-great-skin-foundation-960009?selectedPrice=full" target="_blank"> Every Day Great Skin Foundation</a> is £30 to buy for a non member, but just £5.06 at factory cost for members! It's worth noting that you can buy any of their products without being a member, at the 'regular' price point.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1X127j70yg-2k3DR6rW92TviskciDFQuYFMiP8eRt9E-9sPfWSmFzDJ1XHrk_szjNXCUHu5zaenb9ILT5L474SCTF2bQfX7ddpKadWtznDvxDDMy0s21-3E5qgW5VYxMmEbCCIsGaURs/s1600/Beauty+Pie+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1X127j70yg-2k3DR6rW92TviskciDFQuYFMiP8eRt9E-9sPfWSmFzDJ1XHrk_szjNXCUHu5zaenb9ILT5L474SCTF2bQfX7ddpKadWtznDvxDDMy0s21-3E5qgW5VYxMmEbCCIsGaURs/s640/Beauty+Pie+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Not to be confused with subscription boxes, Beauty Pie don't just send you out a box of random products each month, you get to choose the products you want and buy just those (on top of the membership fee). There is a limit of £100 worth of products (regular price value) that you can buy each month. It all sounds a bit confusing but it's simple once you get your head around the idea!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuavo7jHogkrPxAhvoQ352Oeq-N14KBG7U5EgFIoTD0t9XwFq01wL6Ml1euO9Ytw641eiNidU7ZpLOIwX-2kLbEAdFBJgciGio7jE9GU6W97FSe3E_CVbs5r_C_ksclwDSRCE3gaCTlmo/s1600/Beauty+Pie+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuavo7jHogkrPxAhvoQ352Oeq-N14KBG7U5EgFIoTD0t9XwFq01wL6Ml1euO9Ytw641eiNidU7ZpLOIwX-2kLbEAdFBJgciGio7jE9GU6W97FSe3E_CVbs5r_C_ksclwDSRCE3gaCTlmo/s640/Beauty+Pie+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
On first glances, the packaging of a few of the products instantly remind me of other brand's high end packaging- Bobbi Brown, anyone? After trying a few of the products I can definitely attest to the fact that the quality IS high end. The Every Day Great Skin Foundation is an amazing dupe of Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in my opinion, the finish, coverage and lasting power is incredibly similar, and for just £5 compared to the £37 you'd be forking out for the Armani, it's definitely worth a try!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEingA2txR0AV7avSFM681Oaaa61cGwL5RKl_lrExEZvnEvHaaZ-BPbSge-FtoxSZ1gIk2iW-2sopqaBs5UGlw5kh4MxVZ578YGCOa9cL9_7BLvamvN9OBnxQ1R-rPdhTu-QycbLyrTvayA/s1600/Beauty+Pie+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEingA2txR0AV7avSFM681Oaaa61cGwL5RKl_lrExEZvnEvHaaZ-BPbSge-FtoxSZ1gIk2iW-2sopqaBs5UGlw5kh4MxVZ578YGCOa9cL9_7BLvamvN9OBnxQ1R-rPdhTu-QycbLyrTvayA/s640/Beauty+Pie+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
I also tried out a lip gloss and lipstick from the brand, although I'm not a regular lip gloss wearer I did like their <a href="https://www.beautypie.com/uk/lips/lip-gloss/superglazy-lip-gloss-960504?selectedPrice=full" target="_blank">Superglazy Lip Gloss</a> in the shade 'Sugar Buns'. The non-sticky formula applied smoothly and left a subtle glaze on my lips, loved the shape of the applicator too! I paired this with their <a href="https://www.beautypie.com/uk/lips/lipstick/futurelipstick---matte-960429?selectedPrice=full" target="_blank">Matte Futurelipstick</a> in the shade 'Cowboy Nude', the perfect 'your lips but better' rosey nude colour. The formula lasted well and comfortably all day, though I feel it could be more pigmented for a matte lipstick- it's fine with a few swipes though. Both are swatched below:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh018H9Yht12sx_5FgnFfJVGIIHpE6xk83SCnSUGPQ9aFalAGA4TUOFYZrh5pXztFZ5GRbpilK1QbUbUCAkP_rr-6uKLJNb3L04GMYLd3Va71N6knxyWUvIrus5kNwn3k_kfJoZ1ciSACc/s1600/Beauty+Pie+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="353" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh018H9Yht12sx_5FgnFfJVGIIHpE6xk83SCnSUGPQ9aFalAGA4TUOFYZrh5pXztFZ5GRbpilK1QbUbUCAkP_rr-6uKLJNb3L04GMYLd3Va71N6knxyWUvIrus5kNwn3k_kfJoZ1ciSACc/s400/Beauty+Pie+4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Another stand out product for me was the <a href="https://www.beautypie.com/uk/face/powder/one-powder-wonder-960207?selectedPrice=full" target="_blank">One Powder Wonder</a>, a super finely milled translucent powder, it set my foundation and stopped me getting oily, but didn't dull down my skin and definitely no cakiness either. The powder is so fine that I could barely feel it on my fingers when I swatched, but it was definitely there! I have my eye on their <a href="https://www.beautypie.com/uk/cheeks/highlighters/pro-glow-trade%3b-highlighter-960221?selectedPrice=full" target="_blank">Pro-Glow Highlighter</a> next!<br />
<br />
All in all, if you are someone who is into premium quality products but don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it, this could be ideal for you! The minimum term for membership is 3 months, but if you are a make-up lover and are likely to make use of your membership, I think it's definitely worth a try.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">You must all have heard about the cult Huda Beauty Lashes by now, if not, where have you been?! The beauty entrepreneur has now brought out a range of lip liners, or 'Lip Contours' as they've been named. I was lucky enough to try them before they were released and fell in love instantly! They have a smooth creamy texture going on and apply like a dream, but soon set and Do. Not. Budge. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The Lip Contours are highly pigmented, light weight, non drying and last all day. What more could you ask of a lip product? I did find though with the darker shades like 'Vixen' and "Famous' that if I did not move fast enough, the product would set on part of the lip whilst I was still applying, making it look a little patchy in parts. Just move fast before the colours set is my advice!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large; text-align: start;">Come spring time, I like to pare back my make-up and wear lighter colours on my face, ditching the smokey eyes and dark lips. This look encompasses all that I love in spring/summer make-up. You could wear this makeup without the lashes for a daytime appropriate look!</span></div>
