Hi guys,

It has been a while since I have shopped products from Morphe but they recently brought out new eyeshadow palettes and honestly I fell in love. In their new range called Rich & Foiled Artistry Palettes, they have 3 colour stories, the first is golden warm toned, the second is silver cool tones and then 3 is rosy pink shades. Compared to previous Morphe palettes, these new palettes are evening more pigmented and include a dry to wet shade to create a blinding shimmer.

Though I loved all 3 palettes there was 1 I couldn't stop looking at online so I decided to pick up the Morphe Rich & Foiled Artistry Palette, £15.00 in Rose To Fame. When I shop eyeshadows pinks and nude tones are normally my go to colour stories and though you can get a lot of palettes which these shades, this palette looked more unique. This collection is inspired by the unstoppable allure of precious metals, these nine-pan colour stories elevate your eye looks with luxe mattes, shimmers, and metallics—plus, a crown jewel: a debut foil-effect Molten Metal Eyeshadow. Apply it dry for overall, creamy, incredibly luminous payoff or wet for enhanced, molten-like shine.

I have used Morphe eyeshadow palettes for years and always loved their formula and value for price but these new palettes are even better! These shimmer shades are so glittery and yet feel really lightweight on your eyes and almost have a soft creamy texture when you swatch them. This type of palette is something I would easily gravitate towards for an everyday look because like I said before these are my kinda tones. But I always like that you could use the deeper tones to turn your look from day to night. If you would like to see a tutorial of me using this palette let me know.

Hi guys,

It's been a while since I've chatted about primers on here and recently i find myself reaching for the same brand over and over so today we're gonna chat about them. E.L.F cosmetics has been a viral brand for a long time now whether it's the high end brands they are making dupes of or their viral prime and setting products. Though I don't use a lot of products from the brand I really love using their primers underneath my makeup. So that being said today we're chatting about 3 of my favourites.

First off let's chat about the primer I never meant to actually get, the e.l.f. Hydrating Face Primer 14ml , £9.00. Little story time, I once ordered from Beauty Bay and in my order was the items I picked and then randomly it had this primer and a Beauty Bay blush in my box. Now I never saw a message about gift with purchase etc so I don't know how it happened but I'm glad it did! If you prefer a more hydrating base then this your new BFF, this primer is made with vitamins A, C and E, this hydrating primer helps to create the smoothest canvas for your makeup, while boosting hydration levels. I adore this primer because it makes my makeup glide on effortlessly and lasts all day.

Now let's move on to my favourite primer probably ever, the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer, £10.00. This primer has a sticky base which grips your makeup and makes it last like nobody's business. It is amazing and is a perfect dupe of the MILK Hydra Grip primer but 1/3 of the price. Last year E.L.F took an amazing primer and made it even more perfect by bringing out the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer + Niacinamide 24ml, £10.00. This version of the primer still has all the sticky and goodness of the original primer but this formula is also infused with skincare ingredients. Though I love both versions, my skin feels even more amazing when I wear the newer version.

So there you have it, you don't need to break the bank to get your hands on good primers. I love E.L.F products and seem to be adding more of their products to my makeup collection. As always all products mentioned are linked above.

Hi guys,

I love using Magic Cream and I think we all know it is my ride or die but lately I have been loving Olay moisturisers! Though Olay is still an arguably pricey drugstore brand it is a more affordable price range compared to high end luxury prices and lately I've been shopping them more.

Now before we chat about today's lovely product I want you all to know that if you have a Boots Loyalty card they constantly do promotions on Olay where there's either money off or products are half price. So my golden tip today is get a Boots card because it makes moisturisers like these way more affordable for you. But anyway back to today's favourite product the Olay Regenerist 3 Point Firming Anti-Ageing Face Cream Fragrance Free 50 ml, (£38 normal price, £20 with advantage card).

I have loved Olay moisturisers for a while now but there is version is one of my favourites because the rich texture of the cream reminds me of Magic Cream. Every time I use this cream it feels amazing on my skin and absorbs like a dream. This cream is described as "a fragrance free moisturiser with luxurious, skin-plumping formula. It firms skin for a lifted look and reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Hydrates to improve elasticity and helps exfoliate, smooth and revitalize the look of the skin".

This cream is by far one of my most hydrating and it's a texture that wears under makeup even better. When I wear matte foundations, having this underneath stops my makeup from caking or showing up my dry patches. So if you're looking for a new moisturiser to add to your collection I would really recommend checking it out.

Hi guys,

Today I wanted to share with a Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow palette that I have owned for a while now but recently appreciate so much more! It sounds silly but when I first saw this palette I thought it's really different to the other colour stories I own but I was still in my bright colours phase so I didn't use it that much. Luckily the tables have turned and I am now obsessed with it so today we are chatting about the iconic Bella Sofia Luxury Eyeshadow Palette, £46.00.

If you didn't know Charlotte Tilbury has 2 nieces called Sofia & Bella so she decided to name the palette after them both. This palette features bronze and copper shades which is really different to Charlotte's usual colour stories which are more brighter. Personally I really like this colour story because it creates a gorgeous warm toned smokey eye and includes a stunning golden shimmer to use as a topper shade.

Recently I've been loving colour stories like these because they are really wearable and yet still look like a luxury formula. When I wear these shades it gives me a soft smokey eye without looking heavy unless I add black liner than it changes the whole vibe. So if you are a Charlotte Tilbury fan but don't tend to wear the more pinky toned palettes then this could be your perfect palette!

Hi guys,

We are starting this week off with a brand new product from Rare Beauty! I adore everything from Rare Beauty whether it's the branding, the products or the message behind the brand. I think they do a great job at advertising makeup but also highlighting the importance of natural beauty at the same time. I usually wear Rare Beauty when I want to wear more natural looking makeup compared to my more heavier full coverage makeup.

Today we are chatting about the brand new Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blushes,£26.00! If you didn't know Rare Beauty has become known for their pigmented liquid blushes. Last year there was a viral trend of beauty influencers mixing the Rare Beauty Liquid highlighters with the Liquid blushes to make a glowy blush formula. Selena said that she saw this trend everywhere and went back to the Rare Beauty team to make a glowy powder blush for everyone to use. Honestly Miss Gomez is amazing at listening to when her fans want and using her beauty brand to make the products.

Now this is the first powder blush formula from Rare Beauty and as I mentioned it's a luminous formula so if you don't like a glowy blush I would stick to her liquid matte formula instead. On Space Nk they describe the blush as a " feather-light, so it gives the most natural and flattering look effortlessly. Its silky powder texture feels comfortable against the skin, while durable pigments provide an uplifted look all day long". I decided to play it safe and get the lightest shade in this collection called Cheer! Cheer is a gorgeous soft pink shade on the cheeks but you can build up the formula if you want a more intense glow.

I've been using this blush for 2 weeks now and I adore this formula. Every time I use the blush I feel like it gives my skin the flush of colour it needs to perk up my fair complexion. I'm really glad I got the shade Cheer because the other shade I was looking at was Happy but when you look at the tutorials they aren't drastically different so I'm happy with my choice. If you are looking to buy these blushes I would recommend shopping through SPACE NK as there powder products typically don't get damaged in transit because the pack them really well (at least in my experience anyway).

So if you're looking for a new glowy blush in your collection I would recommend checking out Rare Beauty's new collection because there are a lot of shades to choose from. As always all products mentioned are linked above.

Hi guys,

Welcome to the Pillow Talk Party! In case you haven't seen my other blog posts this week, we are celebrating Charlotte Tilbury's new Pillow Talk products. So far we have had the new shade Pillow Talk Fair in glosses, lipsticks and lip cheats and today we have a completely brand new product! Today we are chatting about the already viral Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm Plumping Lip Gloss, £27.00.

Last month this product was teased on social media and I was so excited to see a brand new lip formula. We love the Lip Collagen formula which makes your lips look fuller and shiner but this new formula is a whole other level! Usually I have plumping glosses because I can't stand that mouth on fire feeling but this formula is more unique and more comfortable on the lips.

The Plumpgasm Plumping Gloss comes in 2 shades fair - medium and medium - deep, for obvious reasons I got the first shade which is a pink nude tone. This new formula starts off as a cooling sensation rather than a burning feeling and then tingles as your lips get plumper, it's a weird description I know but it's honestly accurate. The best part is you don't have to wait ages for the plumping effect, once you apply the gloss you can see your lips start to change straight away. Like I said out of all the brands I've tried before this is by far the most comfortable and the gloss shade is stunning itself.

As Charlotte says "Enriched with Plumpgasm Heat + Ice Technology, plump-effect Collageneer™️ and hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, the formula combines the hydrating comfort of a balm + the amplifying power of a lip plumper with the beautifying pretty pink Pillow Talk effect so your lips look plumper + smoother". The gloss itself comes in a bigger applicator compared to a regular Tilbury gloss and the packaging is stunning! It's very unique to Charlotte's normal packaging and I adore it!

So if you're in the market for a new plumping lip product I would really recommend checking this one out. Some people are sensitive to plumping makeup products so check the ingredients first on the page linked above. As always all products mentioned are linked above.

Hi guys,

Welcome back to part 2 of my New Pillow Talk collection review! In case you missed yesterday's blog post Charlotte Tilbury has brought out new Pillow Talk products in her collection. If you didn't know Pillow Talk is one of Charlotte's most famous collections and she has added a new shade to the family Pillow Talk Fair.

In Monday's video we chatted about her new Pillow Talk Fair Lip Cheat and K.I.S.S.I.N.G lipstick which are both cool-toned pink shades. Today we are chatting about the new Pillow Talk Fair Lip Collagen £27.00. If you're not familiar Charlotte's Lip Collagen formula is a hydrating gloss that makes lips look fuller with a high shine finish. This new shade is a sheer cool toned pink shade that looks stunning on the lips. You can see how it looks on me above and how it swatches too.

I love this formula because it's so easy to throw on with any look when you aren't sure what lip to wear and just want to add some shine. It has a cooling effect on the lips that makes your lips look fuller without the painful tingling of some glosses on the mark. I adore this shade and actually prefer it to the OG Pillow Talk gloss which was more nude neutral compared to this cooler pink tone.

So if you're more of a gloss fan than a lipstick I would really recommend you checking out this new shade range because this gloss hasn't left my bag since I got it! As always all products mentioned are linked above.

Hi guys,

I am so excited to write this blog post today because Charlotte Tilbury has released new Pillow Talk Products !!!! This week we are having a Pillow Talk special and my 3 blog posts will be all about the new collection! If you didn't know Charlotte Tilbury is famous for her Pillow Talk collection and it features all types of makeup products that are pink and berry toned from eyeshadows, highlighters to lipsticks. As part of her members week, she released a whole new range of lip products and re-released one of her very loved Pillow Talk highlighters.

Today we are chatting about a brand new shade that has been added to the Pillow Talk family, Pillow Talk Fair! In this particular shade Charlotte has brought out a new lipstick, lip cheat (her lip liners) and a gloss so today we're chatting about 2 of the products. Let's start off with the brand new Pillow Talk Fair K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick, £28.00. The original Pillow Talk lipsticks were in the Matte Revolution formula so it was more of a traditional soft matte finish however Pillow Talk Fair has a satin finish in her K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula. Personally I love this formula and this shade is described as a cool-toned pink where as the original Pillow Talk lipstick is described as a nude-pink lipstick. As you can see in the pink above on me it's a perfect everyday pink tone.

As well as a new lipstick Charlotte also released a matching Pillow Talk Fair Lip Cheat , £21.00. In the world of Tilbury a lip cheat is basically a lip liner and Charlotte says her liners are the perfect cheats for fuller looking lips. Like the lipstick this lip cheat is also a cool-toned pink shade and personally I only use this lip liners because the formula is so natural and easy to build up. If you want a lip liner that can just make your natural lips look fuller than I really think you're going to like this shade because it wears more natural than the original Pillow Talk shade.

I've only owned these lip products a few days and I'm already obsessed with the new editions to this Pillow Talk family. During the week I'll post some comparison videos of the original shades versus the new ones so you can see for yourself. In the meantime all products mentioned are linked above.

Hi guys,

We all know by now I go through phases where I love to play with colour and one product I was not expected to love as much as I do is the Blue Maybelline Sky High Mascara , £11.99. When I found out they were bringing out a blue version of my favourite mascara I was both surprised and excited to try something different.

Since I have blue eyes anyway, a blue mascara really makes my eyes pop and though it is a bright blue formula, it is surprisingly wearable. I've paired this mascara with different eyeshadow palettes and love the finish but I think the colour truly pops when I use blue liquid liner. My favourite one to use is the Makeup Revolution Renaissance Eyeliner in Blue, £5.00. I have been a big fan of this liquid liner formula for a long time now and I own every colour from the collection.

When I first got this mascara I knew I had to try the two together because it really would make my eyes pop for sure! Both of these products are from the drugstore so they are affordable and to be honest both products are better than any high end versions I've tried before. So if you're looking for a sign to try more colourful eye products here is your sign. As always all products mentioned are linked above.

Hi guys,

I don't know if it's because I've been really ill lately or my hair just needs some extra loving this month but something needed changing in my routine. I go through phases where my hair is just a little flat and gets greasy really easily so I decided to look online and after lot's of friends recommendations I think I finally found my answer. Today we are chatting about the iconic OLAPLEX N°4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo 250ml, £28.00.

Now I already know there is going to be a big group of I told you so people out there and trust me I know I'm late to the game on this but we finally made it. Anytime you see people blog about hair products a lot of the time they will mention OLAPLEX because it is a viral hair company that a lot of stylists will recommend for people with damaged hair. I didn't necessarily need the bond strengthening range because my issue was more about build up. Instead of the original range I decided to use their Clarifying Shampoo.

If you don't know the difference, unlike other shampoos a clarifying formula focuses on removing any oil, dirt or build up from your hair and then afterwards you would deep condition your hair as this can be drying. A clarifying shampoo is recommended once a week and originally I thought this product was a lot of hype but I was pleasantly surprised! Using this shampoo made me realise how clean and fresh your hair should feel after you wash it. My hair felt so salon fresh like I just paid a lot of money for a wash and blow dry and yet I did it all myself. I've been using this shampoo for over a month once a week and I do see a major difference in how soft my hair is and how long I can go between washes before it gets greasy.

So moral of the story if you need to refresh your hair routine and you have a friend who literally works in a salon ask her what she uses and try it out! As always all products mentioned are linked above.

Lot's of love,

Hi guys,

I'm sure you all remember that a few blog posts ago, Charlotte Tilbury brought out a brand new collection of pink and red shades in her new Hollywood Beauty Icon collection. We all know I adore a pink lipstick over red any day and slowly I've been building up my collection so today I'm adding two new shades to my collection!

If you didn't know this collection consists of 5 very different pink tones in the K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula which is the more glossy, satin finish formula. Previously I got the shades Icon Baby which is the most nude toned everyday shade in the collection and Red Carpet Pink which is the second brightest pink in the collection after Candy Chic ( which I still need to add to my collection). The two shades I picked up this time are the more deeper toned pink shades because I don't have anything like them in my collection.

The first new shade I picked up is 90's Pink, this shade is described as a dreamy 90's-inspired warm rose pink (top swatch on image). The second new shade I got is Rose To Fame, this shade is the darkest in the collection and is described as a soft mauve rose lipstick. I would say this lipstick looks like it has a purple under tone when you see it on the lips (bottom swatch on image).

I love this new shades in my collection because they add more depth to my makeup look without needing to be a dark red lipstick. If you are a fan of pink lipsticks I think you'll appreciate the range of pinks on this collection. As always all products mentioned are linked above.

Lot's of love,

Hi guys,

Since I'm such a big Charlotte Tilbury fan, I get asked a lot how I afford her products. Sometimes I buy products when there are promotions and other times when I'm not sure about a shade or a new product I'll choose to by a travel size version. Choosing to buy travel sized products is a great way to save money and test products without breaking the bank.

I have been a fan of the Hollywood Flawless Filter for a while now and previously I bought shade 1 which was lovely on my face but recently I had a look at the shade range and thought I found a better shade match. So instead of buying a full sized version for £39.00 I bought the Mini Hollywood Flawless Filter for £15 in shade 2 Fair. In case you were wondering shade 2 is described as a peachy beige shade for light skin tones and shade 1 is described a neutral beige shade for fair skin tones. Though 2 is more for light tones and 1 is fair I personally prefer shade 2.

In case you didn't know the Hollywood Flawless Filter is a glow booster to use under your makeup as a primer, mixed with foundations to create a glow or lastly used as a liquid highlighter on top of your makeup. If you're looking to get a Tilbury product for your collection this product is by far their most multi-purpose use. I personally love using this under my matte foundations to control the amount the glow on my skin. It's such a easy formula to blend and use how you like. Charlotte is iconic for creating her glow and it's no wonder people try to dupe this product. I have tried dupes in the past but their fairest shade never look right on me like the OG.

So moral of the story if you want to try luxury brand products without the crazy prices, shop their travel / mini section because you can save a lot of money! As always all products mentioned are linked above.

Lot's of love,

Hi guys,

So we all know that liquid blushes have been going viral thanks to Rare Beauty and we've all been looking for affordable dupes ever since. So today i thought I'd share one of my favourite affordable liquid blushes (which I'm sure you've all seen over Tik Tok by now) , the SHEGLAM Colour Bloom Liquid Blush Matte Gel Cream Blush , £4.49. I first saw these blushes on Tik Tok and straight away you could see from the tutorials how pigmented the blushes are so I decided to get a few. Over the past year (probably) I've been using these blushes and loving the high pigment formula so I figured it's about time we chat about them!

Like all the viral blushes, the SHEGLAM version still has the cushion applicator we all know and love at this point. When I apply these blushes I use the 2 dot application and then blend it with a brush, I tried a sponge once and the product went a little patchy so I avoid that now. I really like that with a product like this you can start out with a hint of colour and then build up pigment the more you need it. Though I like lot's of the shades my favourite has to be the Rose Ritual which is gorgeous rosy toned pink.

These blushes are super affordable, with a great colour range so if you're looking to build your collection at an affordable price these blushes are £4.49 each! As always all products mentioned are linked above.

Hi guys,

Hope you're all doing good! Today I am back with a brand new product from Kylie Cosmetics! If you didn't know Kylie Cosmetics recently brought out a Power Plush collection which consists of her new formula concealer and her first ever foundation! A few years ago Kylie had a concealer but it wasn't available in the U.K so this is the first time we get to shop her concealer. She has been teasing her foundation formula for over a year now and it's finally available at Selfridges and Boots in the U.K as well as her website. So today we are chatting about the brand new Power Plush Longwear Foundation, £29.00.

At the moment from the collection I only have the foundation because my concealer shade has been out of stock everywhere but luckily I found it online so I'm waiting for it to arrive. The Power Plush Foundation comes in her iconic baby pink packaging with a frosted glass bottle. Personally I like that the packaging looks classy and simple because sometimes the funky packaging puts me off. This foundation collection has over 40 shades to choose from so I used her shade matching tool and I was matched with 2C. Shade 2C is described as a fair with cool, subtle peachy undertones shade and personally I think it's the perfect match for me when you see me wearing it above.

Now let's chat about what this foundation claims to do. This foundation is a hydrating, instantly smoothing foundation with medium, buildable coverage and up to 12 hours of comfortable wear. It also blends into the skin to blur fine lines, pores, and texture and leaves a soft, cushiony feel with an airbrushed, satin finish that’s not too dewy and not too matte. At the moment this is my ideal combo of foundation formula because I usually wear a matte formula because it's more long wearing than a glowy finish but one gives me the perfect balance.

Now I know some people love to love/ hate Kylie Cosmetics but I honestly think if you try this foundation you'll be surprised. Besides her setting powder I would say this product is my personal fav from her cosmetics collection. As always all products mentioned are linked above.

Lot's of love,

Hi guys,

This blog post is a typical example of me being late to the party, but I finally tried The INKEY LIst!!! I know I am beyond late and everyone has recommended that I try this brand for a while now but I can honestly say I now understand the hype. If you didn't know INKEY List has been a viral skincare brand for a while now and I am always seeing their cleanser go viral on TikTik so I decided to finally try out some products. I picked up the Skin prep gift set which gives you 3 full sized products to help prep your skin for the day makeup, but you can also use 2 of the products in your night routine as well as day.

So let's chat about the products I got in this set. The first product is The INKEY List Caffeine Eye Cream, 15ml, £10.00. I love trying a new eye cream because my under eye bags look like they have their luggage and need help. This cream is amazing at brightening and de-puffing your eyes, you can honestly see such a difference after you apply it. For such an affordable price I was so surprised how much of a impact it had to my under eye area. I use this eye cream every morning before makeup and evening after my skincare routine and using it twice a day has really made an improvement for me.

The next product I got was The INKEY List Polyglutamic Acid Serum, 30ml , £15.00. This serum is recommended to wear before makeup to help improve your facebase so your makeup looks even better on the skin. The serum is made of polyglutamic acid which can hold 4x more moisture than Hyaluronic Acid, locking in moisture and helping the skin appear instantly smoother. The formula also helps to make the skin look brighter and even complexion too. I adore wearing this serum because it makes such a difference and you really can see a blurring effect it has on the skin.

Lastly I got the viral INKEY List Oat Cleansing Balm, 150ml, £12.00. This is product you can use in your AM and PM skincare routine and essentially melts makeup off your face or any dirt if you are makeup prepping. Not only does it melt your makeup off it deeply nourishes and hydrates your skin without stripping or drying it out. I love how fresh and glowy my skin looks after every use and it's such a easy step to give your skin a real deep clean.

Overall I really like the brand and I'm excited to try out more products in the future. As always all products mentioned are linked above.

Lot's of love,

Bella x x
