Blogtober day 19: Sephora beauty

Recently, myself and the very beautiful Laura (laurapiekarski.blogspot.com) did a box swap of English and American products. To create more blog posts I've broken it up into sections and today is reviewing the Sephora beauty products! 

There were two very pretty coloured products that caught my eye, and I seriously have so much love for them! 

First up, the sephora highlight, contour and blush palette in light number 01. Everything you need in a small package. This is a brilliant product because not only the is the blush very pigmented, but the bronzer is an amazing colour to use as a contour and bronzer! I've also been using the highlighter as an eyeshadow on dull day.

Secondly, the lipstick, Sephora rouge shine in the number 14. This is the most moisturising lipstick I have every owned. It stays on for a fair few hours, and it great as a balm, bottom coat, or on its own. The thing about this lipstick is that it also works as an amazing season changing lipstick when it's sunny but windy and cold. 

I have used both of these products nearly every day since they arrived, and I cannot get enough them! 

Biggest thank you to Laura, and I hope your parcel arrives soon and you love it as much as I love mine 😘

Until next time lovelies x

Blogtober day 13: motivational Monday

Blogtober day 12: this weeks favourites

Two products gave really done my skin justice this week, due to cold weather and rushed mornings, these little products are really packed with punches! 

The First Aid Beauty ultra repair cream has hydrated, moisturised and saved my skin from the awful wind and bitter cold air this past week. I contemplated purchasing a Keihl's hydrating cream, but I definitely think FAB has got the job role perfectly for hydrating skin. 

Secondly, on one maybe two occasions I've been rushing out of the house to catch the train and prepped but forgot to moisturise my skin! On these occasions I'd prep, forget the moisturiser and remember after is applied foundation to my face. Instead of washing it all off to start again, I sprayed quite a bit of the Simple Moisture Boost Mist over my foundation, and it's sunk into my skin pretty quickly. It was like I never forgot the step of moisturising! 

Until next time lovelies x

Blogtober day two: Birthday haul

On Friday I turned 21: the legal age to drink in America. As I could already drink; being from the UK (legal age of 18), I decided to do something a little different. I went for a meal with my univeristy friends, spent a day in my favourite place: London, had a family tea afternoon, went for drinks with my university friends then had afternoon tea. All of these each happened on different days. So I thought I'd share a few pictures of what I got and how my 5-day birthday went! 

Product hauls to follow! x
