Hi Lovelies,
So today I wanted to share with you my skincare routine. Skincare is so important and is most often neglected. It is so important to take care of our skin as it will not only help us achieve a flawless base but will delay the ageing process. 
It is so important to invest in the correct skincare products which are best suited to your skin needs. If you are not sure ask for samples and test the products out first and then purchase if its works. A tip I’m going to give is don’t be afraid of asking for testers and also advice on what products are best suited to your skin needs. Also don’t be afraid of trying products.
I have recently been introduced to Rodial’s Pink Diamond’s Cleansing Balm which lovelies is just simply beautiful. I was well and truly blown away by this cleansing balm and literally have no words to describe just how good this cleansing balm really is. The Rodial Pink Diamond Cleansing Balm contains vitamin E and Rodial’s signature diamond powder to give a luxurious cleanse which will clean and melt away every last trace of makeup and dirt whilst transforming the skin. This cleansing balm doesn’t strip and dry your skin out which is why it makes it the best cleansing balm on the market if you ask me. With ingredients like the diamond powder will provide your skin with luminosity. Sweet Almond oil and vitamin E will soothe and cleanse your skin and also minimise fine lines and blemishes. Rice germ oil hydrates and nourishes the skin. It seriously is the best cleansing balms on the market. The cleansing balm also comes with a cloth which will also exfoliate your skin. Rodial’s Pink Diamond Cleansing Balm is available at all Rodial counters and is priced at £55.00.
To remove my makeup I also use SUQQU Silky Smooth Cleansing Oil. This oil will literally take off all that stubborn makeup and I love how silky smooth it makes my skin feel. There is nothing worse when your skin feels tight and that feeling when you feel that  you have to apply tons and tons of moisturiser but with this cleanser its a thing of the past. You can purchase the SUQQU Silky Smooth Cleansing Oil from all leading Suqqu counters and on the Harrods website and is priced at £33.00. The best cleanser I have ever used hands down. 
Im also loving the Dr Levy 3 Deep Cleanser which is a gentle exfoliator but you can use this day and night. It gives your skin a lovely glow and removes any dead cells and debris. You can purchase the Dr Levy 3 Deep Cell Renewal Micro- Resurfacing Cleanser on the Cult Beauty website and is priced at £39.00.
Firstly to ensure my skin is free of any remaining makeup I use Rodial’s Dragons Blood Micellar Cleansing Water and with a cotton pad swipe it gently across my face until the pad is clean. The Dragons blood micellar water contains hyaluronic acid which will give your skin a burst of hydration whilst gently removing any makeup. It also plumps up any fine lines and locks in the moisture. I love this micellar water and always ensure that there is a spare. You can purchase Rodial Dragons Blood Micellar Water from all Rodial counters and on the Rodial website and is priced at £33.00. (Look out in Harvey Nichols lovelies as they are selling sets which are better in value so get your hands on this duo as it is amazing)
I then spray Rodial’s Dragon’s Blood Essence mist to refresh and re energise my face. It’s super cooling and I like to use it as a first step as it will help the rest of the skin care products which I apply to sink in better. The mist can be used as a primer, to provide some much needed moisture to your skin and also as a setting spray. Basically lovelies its quite simply an all rounder. You can purchase the Rodial Dragons Blood Essence Mist from all Rodial counters and on the Rodial website and is priced at £38.00.
The next step is to apply a toner to my skin, I love REN’s Ready Steady Glow Tonic which contains AHA + BHA which brightens my complexion and also minimises the look of pores. The glow tonic gives my skin an extra shot of hydration and gives an even toned and more brightened complexion. Whats more is that for those of you lovelies, which have sensitive skin you can still use this but it is advisable to use it maybe 2-3 times per week. You can purchase REN Ready Steady Glow Tonic at all REN stockists and on the REN website and is priced at £25.00.
Personally I use this at night after cleansing my skin and during the day I have just recently started using Rodial’s Vit C Brightening Pads. 
Rodial’s Vit C Brightening Pads give your skin that much needed shot of glow. These pads help to resurface and restructure the  texture of your skin. which will help to tone and brighten. These pads contain pure vitamin C to help brighten and even out your complexion. These pads also contain around 1% of fruit AHA’s which boosts moisture levels in the skin and it gently exfoliates your skin. It also contains Glycolic and lactic acids as well as 0.5% salicylic acid which refines pores which will reduce blemishes. If you suffer from acne these pads are suitable for you to use also. You can purchase the Vit C Brightening Pads at all Rodial counters and on the Rodial website and is priced at £45.00 for 50 pads.
As we head into the winter months I tend to find my skin can become dry and I start to find dry patches in areas around my face. To help prevent this I have just started using Pestle & Mortar’s Pure Hyaluronic  serum which was recommended to me by the lovely ladies at Face Gym. This serum will give you a burst of hydration as well as a more radiant look. Hyaluronic Acid is a carbohydrate occurring naturally within the body. With time the Hyaluronic Acid in your body decreases which then leads to dry ageing skin and wrinkles. You can purchase Pestle & Mortar Pure Hyaluronic Serum on the Pestle & Mortar website and at Face Gym based in Selfridges Manchester Trafford Centre and Selfridges Oxford Street and is priced at £36.00.
When it comes to applying an eye cream its a must for me as I suffer from dark circles. I have tried so many eye creams but the one I am currently using is literally a God send. I have been using Dr Levy’s Eye Booster Concentrate for around 3 weeks now and have noticed my dark circles have reduced around 60%. I was recommended this eye cream when I went for a facial at Face Gym. I will do a full in depth review of this eye cream in the next few weeks. This gel concentrate is super light and can be applied around the eye area. This eye cream maybe on the pricier side at £165 and is available on the Cult Beauty website. but I can tell you that its the only eye cream which I have used that has made a huge difference.
Week 1
Results (Week 5)
 The next step is applying a moisturiser. If your like me you will have a collection of moisturisers depending on how my skin is reacting. If I find a dehydrated complexion I always implement a hydrating moisturiser like some of my favourites like Sunday Riley’s Tidal Moisturiser (£60.00), Rodial’s Rose Gold Moisturiser (£200) and Augustinus Bader’s Rich Cream (£125 for 30ml & £205 for 50 ml)which has just recently become my new favourite. Currently I have also started applying Skin Food by Weleda (£12.50)after watching Katie Jane Hughes Instagram stories. (I love her makeup tips she’s simply amazing be sure to check her out)
Ever since Rodial introduced their signature skin care drops I have been in love. Rodial introduced Glycolic Drops, Collagen Drops, Retinol Drops and Soft Focus Glow Drops. In regards to the Glycolic Drops and the Retinol Drops I alternate them ensuring I use them twice a week. Trust me you will fall in love with these drops and the results are remarkable. In regards to the Soft Focus Glow Drops I absolutely love them it gives me such a wonderful glow which shines through. You can also use them with your foundation. I will do a full review on these drops to give you a full insight. The Rodial Soft Focus Glow drops are priced at £45.00 and the Collagen,Glycolic and Retinol drops are priced at £75.00 each and are available to purchase from all Rodial counters and on the Rodial website.
The final step in my skincare routine is to apply an SPF. Its is so important to apply an SPF to protect our face from the harmful rays which come from sunlight, environment and even the blue light emitted from our mobile phones. SPF will also protect our skin from sun damage and limiting the chances of contracting skin damage or even the chance of developing skin cancer. It will also help reduce pigmentation so its a win win to incorporate this wonder product into our regimes. SPF is literally one of the most forgotten about skincare product but in my opinion its the most important. If there is one piece of advice I give to people is to incorporate an SPF in to their regime and if you implement this in your early teens it will also help delay the signs of ageing also.
I am currently using and absolutely loving Heliocare tinted SPF 50 which I picked up at the Face Gym recently. This product alone is the reason that I have worn very little foundation in the past month or so. I absolutely love the coverage and the dewy finish it gives. The Heliocare SPF is priced at £25.49 and is available on the Face the Future website. The Coola SPF 30 is in a spray form but is great for not only providing essential protection for the skin but will also set your makeup. You can purchase Coola SPF at SpaceNK and is priced at £39.00.
So there you are lovelies, I hope you enjoyed the insight into my current skin care routine.

Hi Lovelies
So for the past month or so I have been absolutely and utterly obsessed with creating some of the most gorgeous bespoke lipsticks. As you will all be aware by now I am well and truly obsessed with all things make up and skincare but I have always been a lipstick addict so this appealed to me like nothing else. 
As soon as I saw this advertised on Instagram, and was told about this service in store by the lovely ladies at Estée Lauder (Trafford Centre) I knew I had to have one or maybe ten knowing me.
So I booked in as soon as I could and went on to create my first bespoke custom lipstick. As mentioned I love lipsticks and wear literally every colour under the sun. So before my appointment I spent a great deal of time contemplating what colour to create and I just couldn’t decide whether I wanted a classic red, nude or even a bold colour.
On the day I was shown the colour chart and the process of creating my bespoke lipstick was explained. It was so exciting and immediately I knew that my first colour had to be a red but on a more classic note.
So firstly I started with choosing a base colour from the colour chart provided. Also I had to decide whether I wanted a matte or creamy finish. Then depending on the tone of the colour you want to achieve I had to decide whether I wanted to make the red tone warmer or a more cool toned red. 
The next step was to melt the chosen lip colours as seen below until it reached the correct temperature. Within this process I then started to see the desired colour come together. The mixture was then ready to be poured into the mould. 
The mould was then put on a freezing plate and was left there until the mixture had set. The excess was then scraped off and then placed back on to the freezing plate and left there until the lipstick has reached its required temperature and ready to be lifted out of the mould. 
The most exciting element in this process in my opinion is when the lipstick is ready to be placed in the lipstick casings. I love how the lipstick come out its just so satisfying. 
I also loved making up names to all my lipsticks which I have created and then the chosen name is then engraved on to the bullet and then placed in the most lovely case along with the two refills. Of course I had to have one named after my blog (Inbetweener Girly) as its something that is so close to my heart. 
This limited edition bespoke lipstick costs £81 and is only available until the 10th November at Selfridges within the Trafford Centre. These are perfect presents for special occasions and with Christmas soon approaching its the perfect present. I have lost count to the number of people I have recommended this service to. Its just simply addictive you only have to take a look at my collection to know that. 
So book in fast lovelies and go see the lovely Lucy and Kimberley create your very own custom lip colour. Please go follow @glamgirlsoftrafford on Instagram for the latest updates on all things Estee Lauder. 
Thank you lovelies, I hope you have enjoyed this post and I look forward to hearing your comments. Please don’t forget to subscribe and follow me on my social media platforms. 
Love Always

  Hi Lovelies,
I have been literally dying to tell all you lovely people about Dior’s new lip lacquers which I have been obsessed with recently. Dior’s new lip lacquer collection houses around 18 shades all of which are super hydrating and extremely pigmented. The Dior Addict lip lacquers will give you 6 hours wear before you have to top up.
As I am sure you will now know that I am a huge lover of lipsticks and liquid lipsticks and always prefer a matte formula. The Dior lip lacquers are an innovative formula,  half lacquer and half lipstick which provides you with the effortless pigment and shine. The inspiration behind this collection and its many shades is L.A.
Dior Addict Lacquer Sticks
Rolling, Underground, Palm Beach, Turn Me Dior, Club and Sauvage
Wearing the shade 740 Club
The Dior Addict lip lacquers consists of a new formula which contains moisturising properties that makes the lipstick feel extremely soft just like a lip balm but contains such an intense colour. I simply adore how hydrating these lip lacquers really are but more importantly how they give that perfect stain after its dried. The new lacquer sticks are enriched with 5 of the shiniest ultra light nourishing oils along with long wearing beeswax.
Palm Beach
Underground
Turn Me Dior
I absolutely love the new packaging of the bullet, its a black lacquered bullet with pink neon around the sides. 
I’ve always hated that sticky feeling you get when you wear a gloss or a shiny lipstick which is why I have always steered away from these types of formula’s in the past that is up until now. When I first tried the shade Turn me Dior, I instantly fell in love with not only the colour but the texture of the product and ended up buying Underground along with Sauvage. Over the past month I have added to my collection by purchasing Club which is a more orange red shade and Palm Beach which I was lucky enough to get engraved. (one of the best lipstick I own) 
What’s more is that they have a wide variety of colours ranging from those perfect nude tones, vibrant pinks, corals, reds to the more daring dark shades like Sauvage. 
Overall lovelies, what can I say other than I am seriously in love with these lipsticks and they are now my go to everyday lipsticks. I would highly recommend these shades to all of you who are looking for a creamy but moisturising formula. I will definitely be adding more of these gorgeous lipsticks to my ever growing collection of lipsticks. I didn’t really like the way the bullet is shaped as I struggle to get that neat application which you get with the other shaped bullets like in Rouge Dior range as this one is much rounder. Seriously lovelies go and check them out you will love them!
The Dior Lip Lacquer’s are priced £27.50 and are available at all leading Dior counters and on Dior’s website. 
I hope you enjoyed this post and I look forward to sharing more product reviews and experiences with all you lovely people.

Hi Lovelies,
I wanted to tell you about a really special product that I have been loving at the moment. Kiehl’s Pure Vitality Skin Renewing Cream is a power packed, super hydrating moisturiser which will not only smooth and strengthen your skin but will provide you with youthful skin. 
The Pure Vitality cream was unveiled to me and a group of bloggers at the Kiehl’s bloggers event which I attended a few weeks ago and after trying the cream for myself I instantly knew I had to incorporate this cream into my skincare routine. 
Kiehl’s Pure Vitality Skin Renewing Cream is derived from two main ingredients which are New Zealand Manuka Honey and Korean Red Ginseng Root. The Korean Red Ginseng accelerates cell renewal for that lovely vibrant glow. The New Zealand Manuka Honey helps to strengthen the skin barrier and smooth away those pesky fine lines. 
When Kiehl’s tested the Pure Vitality Cream, around 88% of users told said after 8 weeks their skin felt immediately comforted. Around 86% said skin felt more nourished after  week. Also around 87% of users saw smoother more refined skin after 4 weeks of use which just goes to show that this product is extremely effective. 
After removing my makeup at night, I apply Kiehls’s Midnight Recovery Oil and apply the Pure Vitality Cream on top of that. I must say lovelies that after 3 weeks of continuos use, my skin feels amazingly hydrated and I have received so many comments in regards to my skin. Another aspect I love about this cream is that you can take it up to your eyes without feeling irritation that I found with the Ultra Facial Cream. Overall I can start to see that the Pure Vitality Cream is contributing to giving me radiant and smooth looking skin. As you can see from the picture above just how hydrated and glowing my skin is after incorporating this product into my skincare regime.
Overall lovelies if you feel like you need that burst of hydration or if your skin is lacking radiance then I would advise you head down to your local Kiehl’s boutique and ask to try the Pure Vitality Cream. Who doesn’t want that healthy looking glow and trust me lovelies with this product you will. So the next time you pass Kiehl’s, pop in and let the lovely staff test your skin and recommend products which are suited to your skin type and needs. It’s so vital that we use products which are suited for our individual skin types, which is why I always recommend to invest in good but the correct skincare for your skin type and skin needs. 
Kiehl’s Pure Vitality Skin Refining Cream is available in two sizes a 50ml which is priced at £49.00 and a 75ml which is priced at £66.00 and is available at all leading Kiehls counters and boutiques and on the Kiehl’s website.
I hope you enjoyed this post and I look forward to sharing more product reviews and experiences with all you lovely people. 
Until next time Lovelies

Hi Lovelies,
I have some great news to share with you all today, I am so grateful and delighted to be an official blogger for Kiehls Manchester. I have always been a huge fan of Kiehls skincare range so its an amazing opportunity to be a part of Kiehls Manchester’s blogging team. 
The Kiehl’s blogger event was held at their  King Street boutique in Manchester. After the initial introductions we were then given an account of the history of Kiehls and how the company has developed.
We were then shown around the boutique and told about all the different services which Kiehls provides it’s customers. I don’t know if you lovelies have ever been to Kiehls and had a skin consultation before?
Kiehl’s carry out a skin barrier test which actually identifies which skin type you are. The test the cheek and the forehead. They then proceed to ask you what your skin concerns are and lastly they prepare a skin program and advise you accordingly. I think that this is a great test and it saves you from buying skincare which will not benefit your skin. Personally it was a great opportunity to meet fellow bloggers to network and I truly hope that through these Kiehl’s events we build lasting friendships and form a partnerships also.
I also love how the Kiehls stores are laid out showing not only the history of Kiehls through pictures but also highlighting  the owners love of their Harley Davidson’s for example. Oh I almost forgot to mention the photo booth which I thought was fun and innovative. (I loved it as you may have guessed already) Overall there is a lovely welcoming feel and you are truly made to feel special.
I love Kiehl’s as a brand and some of their products are a staple within my skincare ritual like Midnight Recovery Concentrate and the Ultra Facial Cream. So you can believe how excited I was to hear that Kiehls have just released a new product called Pure Vitality Skin Renewing Cream. We were all given the opportunity to try this cream and I can say I love this product and the way it has transformed my skin by incorporating this cream with the Midnight Recovery Concentrate. (Review will be posted soon) 
I am also so excited to tell you that Kiehls are going to be releasing the Midnight Recovery Cleansing Oil from the Midnight range. I am so excited and trust me I am itching to try this product. 
So lovelies why don’t you head down to your local Kiehls boutique where their excellent staff will first test your skin and identify what skin type you are and recommend products for your specific skin concerns. If your looking for natural based skincare and haircare products then without a shadow of doubt head down to your local Kiehl’s boutique to try their award winning products. Finally I want to thank Kiehl’s Manchester for their wonderful hospitality and I can’t wait to work with them in the upcoming future. 
If you live around the Manchester area below I am going to list all the boutiques and stockists. 
Kiehl’s (King Street Boutique) 
Kiehl’s Selfridges (Trafford Centre and Exchange Square)
Space NK
Kiehl’s House of Frasers

I hope you enjoyed this post and I look forward to sharing more event experiences with you. 
Until next time lovelies.

Hi Lovelies,
Have you ever found that your lips are flaky and extremely dry after wearing an extremely matte lipstick? Then the answer to your problem is applying a lip scrub. There are many lip scrubs on the market ranging from brands like Jeffree Star to Lush Cosmetics.
Within Dior’s new Spring/Summer 2017 collection they have released a Lip Sugar Scrub. I remember seeing a picture posted on Instagram and was instantly excited by this product and knew I needed this product. I absolutely love the Dior Lip Glow and the Dior Lip Maximiser and I use these products on a daily basis to gain nice plump and nourished lips. 
I was lucky enough to get my  hands on this collection before the release and the first thing I purchased was the Sugar Lip Sugar Scrub as well as products from the Colour Gradation range.
Before purchasing the Dior Lip Sugar Scrub I was using the Jeffree Star lip scrub in strawberry which is simply divine and to be honest lovelies I end up eating it up its just that yummy. The Dior lip scrub comes in a bullet form and when applied to your lips the scent of peppermint hits your senses and the sugary texture helps to nourish and banish those dry flaky lips. 
The Lip Sugar Scrub is an exfoliator for the lips and it will leave your lips feeling nourished and rehydrated. I love how fresh this makes my lips feel and it works so well with all the other Dior Backstage Pro lip products giving you the most perfect soft and rosy pout. 
You can apply the Dior Lip Sugar Scrub by massaging the product in small circles to smooth and rehydrate your lips. I love how the self vanishing texture makes the sugar granules disappear by simply rubbing your lips together. 
Overall I have to say that I love Dior’s Lip Sugar Scrub and I can tell you that I have incorporated this lip product as part of my daily skincare/makeup routine. I love how combining the sugar scrub and the lip glow has bought a rosy colour back to my lips. I hate the feeling of rough, flaky skin after you have worn a super matte lipstick or liquid lipstick and this product will remove the flaky skin with sugar granules.If your looking for the perfect pout then you need to invest in the Dior Lip Sugar Scrub, It quite simply is on the best lip scrubs on the market. 
You can purchase Dior’s Lip Sugar  Scrub at all leading Dior counters and on the Dior website and is priced at £24.00. 
I hope you enjoyed this post and I look forward to sharing more event experiences with you. 
Until next time lovelies.

Hi Lovelies,
As promised here is the continuation to my previous post of my favourite makeup products so here are the products which I have been hugely disappointed with in some shape or form.
Dislikes/Disappointments
Huda Beauty Eyeshadow Palette– I was really upset by the pigment in this palette which is why I would even say that unfortunately this palette is the biggest disappointment of 2016. (Read my review on the Huda Beauty Palette here)
Lancome Grandiose Liquid Eyeliner – As a big fan of liquid liners when I first saw this eyeliner on a Lisa Eldridge You Tube video I knew I just had to have this eyeliner. I was really disappointed that after a few uses the formula had dried up mainly in black liner pot. (Read my review on the Lancome Grandiose Liner here)
Lancome Grandiose Liner
Grandiose liner in Carbon Black and Deep Brown
Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Lashes– Who doesn’t love Charlotte Tibury, I certainly do which is why I was so disappointed with this mascara. I was so disappointed with the formula of the mascara as it smudges. If this mascara was waterproof it would truly be the best mascara on the planet. (Read my review on Charlotte Tilbury’s Legendary Lashes here)
Legendary Lashes
Setting this mascara with By Terry translucent setting powder
Show Hair Products– I don’t know if you have purchased any Show hair products and found that all the spray bottles leak. I remember purchasing the Thermal Protect spray bottle which leaked. At the time I thought it might have been a faulty bottle but  a couple of month ago repurchased it again and the same thing happened again. 
Urban Decay Naked Palettes– I remember when Urban Decay first released the Naked palette. I have to say that it is probably still one of the best palettes I own up until today. However I am not impressed with the pigment quality in the new Naked palettes which is so disappointing. Although I haven’t purchased the latest Naked palette I had to add into this list. 
I hope you enjoyed this post and I look forward to sharing more event experiences with you.
I would be grateful and would love to hear your comments on this posts and if you have any products you want me to review I would be happy to review them for you.
Until next time lovelies.

Hi Lovelies, 
I want to wish you all a Happy New Year and may you all have a wonderful and prosperous year ahead. 
So today I wanted to share with you all the products which I have loved and the products which in my opinion have been a let down. I have to warn you the loved list may be a little long.
Like/Loved
Rodial Eye Sculpt Eyeshadow Palette – The eye sculpt palette has to be one of my best purchases within the Rodial brand within the past year. It truly is pigmented and you can create so many looks from this wonderful little palette.
Dior  – I was so disappointed when Dior discontinued the Glow Max and Pore Minimiser as they truly are amazing and give the most dewy and perfect photo finish. The Airflash is one of the best foundations on the planet in my opinion and if you haven’t tried it already go and try it you will not regret it. I really consider myself as a Dior addict I love all their products from makeup, skincare to fragrance and it truly is my go to brand. 
The finished look
Dior Dreamskin Cushion– I have to admit that i have been using this cushion everyday. I simply love the finish and coverage this cushion gives and whats more is that it is packed with skincare and SPF50 making the perfect holiday foundation.
Revive Skin Tint– I love the Revive skin tint so much, that its even replaced my foundation. I love the coverage and lovely dewy finish this gives. As with the Dior Skin Cushion the Revive Skin Tint is packed with the highest quality skincare benefits. 
Juvia’s Place Eyeshadow Palettes– What can I say about these palettes doesn’t even begin to say how truly amazing they are. These palettes are truly pigmented and totally worth every single penny. 
Pat McGrath (003,004,005 )– If I had to rate the best products which I own and can’t live without it would be all the products within the Pat McGrath makeup range. If I had to choose the best collection it would have to be highlighters in the Skin Fetish 003 range they really are amazing and compliment all skin tones. 
Pat McGrath 005
Pat McGrath 003
Pat McGrath 004
Huda Beauty Liquid Lipsticks– These truly are one of the best liquid lipsticks on the market. I love that Huda has created a wide range of colours from reds, purples, pinks and nudes.
Jeffree Star Liquid Lipsticks– I have so many liquid lipsticks in my collection but if I had to name my favourite brand I would say Jeffree Star hands down. These liquid lipsticks do not move and its also my favourite liquid lipstick when I’m travelling long distance due to its her staying power.
Wearing Androgyny
Wayne Goss Brushes– These are the best and most expensive brushes I own but they truly are amazing. They are the softest brushes I own and they contribute to give you the most flawless finish you can imagine. 
The Wayne Goss Collection Brushes
Ouai Hair Care Products – These Ouai hair care products have truly changed my hair, gone are the days of rough dry hair but smooth tamed healthy hair. The hair oil and matte pomade are my favourite from this range. 
Tarte Shape and Tape Concealer– After reading and hearing all the rave reviews of this concealer I knew I had to purchase this concealer to test it out for myself. I have to say this concealer is one of the best concealers on the market with it creamy and easy blendable formula. This is a must buy lovelies trust me!
Stay tuned as in the post I am going to list those products which I dislike for reason or another. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Thank you lovelies for reading this post and until next time.

Hi Lovelies,
Firstly I want to wish all you lovely people a very merry and happy Christmas. I hope it was full of love, happiness and tremendous joy. I also want to spare some thought to those who are under hardship and I hope and pray that God grants all their dreams and wishes also.
……………………………………………………………………
So today I wanted to post my Christmas look that I’m wearing today and how to take a simple look and change it up with one product.
So a couple of days ago I was lucky enough to be the first to get my hands on a new eye palette within Dior’s new spring collection. When the lovely Halima (Selfridges Exchange Square) showed me all the products within the new spring collection, I immediately fell in love with this palette and I knew I had to purchase it immediately. So I wanted to create a look using this gorgeous palette. This palette will be available at all leading Dior counters and will be priced at £42.00
After applying my skincare products to my face. The first product which I applied was Dior’s Pore Minimiser. I love how this primer gives you a smooth and flawless finish but minimises your pores at the same time.
Have you ever encountered that your foundation has melted off your nose or chin. Well lovelies if you apply a little eye primer on those areas before applying your foundation like I have found your foundation will stay put all night. So after applying Dior’s Eye Prime from their Backstage range on my nose t-zone and chin, I then went on to correct my dark circles using Kevyn Aucoin’s skin enhancer in Sx09. The peach tone within this particular skin enhancer correct and gives an excellent coverage.
Currently my favourite foundation is Dior’s Dream Skin cushion and its one that I now wear every day. However today after applying the dream skin cushion I applied La Mer newly formulated foundation in Ivory and mixed in a little Dior Glow Maximiser to give some much needed glow. I have to say lovelies I do love the velvety finish this foundation gives so it really does get a thumbs up from me.
So since using the Tarte shape tape concealer, I seriously have to say this is the best concealer on the market in my opinion. I use this concealer in the colour light to highlight and its just a must buy lovelies.
To set my under eyes I always bake under my eyes using the Ben Nye translucent powder mixed in with a little banana powder.
So now onto my eye look as I was using this palette for the first time, I knew I wanted to use the gold,red and brown within this look. So I started by applying and blending the brown shade into my crease. I then went ahead and applied the red shade from the outer corner and blended it around the crease. The next step was to apply the gold shade on the lid. To draw my top line I used the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in Trooper. I then applied lashings of Diorshow Blackout waterproof mascara. I love the volume this gives its just amazing lovelies and I’ve even got my cousin hooked to it.
When it comes to setting my makeup I always use the Diorskin Nude Air Powder 020 as it gives a radiant finish.
In terms of highlighting and contour I have used the Deerskin Nude Air highlighter and a swipe of Snow from the Anastasia Glow Kit. I used the Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder in medium to contour. For a little blush I used the peach shade in the By Terry Sun Designer Palette in 2.
I absolutely love red lips and one of my favourite red lipsticks is Dior’s 999 in matte with the Diorific liquid lipstick in 004 on top to finish the look.
To finish the look I then sprayed the Dior Airflash CC to set my look as well as applying my own homemade setting spray.
                      …………………………………………………………………………………………
To take this look one step up I applied the Gold pigment in 001 from her 005 collection to the inner corners of my eyes and in middle of my lips.
So there we have it, I hope you guys enjoyed these looks and stay tuned for more posts lovelies.
Thank you lovelies for all the love and the time to read this blog.
Lots of Love

Hi Lovelies!
Hope you are all well and enjoying the lead up to Christmas. I don’t know about you lovely people but I love this time of the year when our towns and cities all over the world are bustling with shoppers purchasing their presents. I love the togetherness this season brings and not forgetting the beautiful decorations adorning all the shop fronts and their surroundings.
I wanted to write a post and share with you all what I have purchased lately and what I think of them.
Revive Le Tint
Usually Im not a fan of tinted moisturisers as I have never liked the coverage they deliver. However when one of my trusted friend at Space NK told me all about the Revive Le Tint and as a fan and avid user of the Revive skincare products I knew that this product would be special I mean you are getting the benefit of applying skincare within a makeup product. Trust me lovelies when the lovely Gaynor applied this to my skin after my Revive facial I immediately fell in love and can now tell you that ever since I purchased the Le Tint I haven’t used a foundation. (Shocking… I know but trust it is just that good.)
The Le Tint can only be described as a sheer colour in a lightweight oil to deeply nourish the skin and providing protection against dehydration and whats more it leaves the skin with a fresh and dewy glow. I love mixing this with liquid highlighters to give the skin an amazing glow. Go and get this lovelies I have feeling this is going to be staple in my makeup routine.
The Revive Le Tint comes in three shades and is priced at £75.00. It is available to purchase from Space NK in store and online and other Revive stockists.
Revive Masque De Volume
Due to the current weather changes and not drinking enough water I have found that my skin has become dehydrated. Whilst attending a Revive facial it was Gaynor who pointed it out to me. She applied this masque to my face to provide some much needed hydration and I knew then I had to invest in this masque to get me through the winter months. I apply this masque three times a week and have found a major difference to my skin already. It literally is a splash of water to your skin to eliminate the dreaded dehydrated look.
The Masque De Volume is a luxurious firming and sculpting mask that melts into the skin to plump and provide moisture. By applying this mask it makes the skin appear brighter, hydrated and more vibrant.
The Revive Masque De Volume is available at all Space NK stores and online and is priced at £130.00.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Moisturiser 
I came across this moisturiser as I was looking for that burst of hydration and incorporate that into my current skincare routine. Throughout the internet I have heard so many good reviews about this new range. So I decided to test this out aswell as a few other products within this range.
Honestly lovelies I feel that this us a great alternative to the Sunday Riley Tidal Moisturiser at a fraction of the price. I really like the intense hydration that this gel moisturiser gives me throughout the day.
You can purchase the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Moisturiser from all leading Neutrogena stockists priced at £12.99. It is currently on offer in Boots and is priced at £8.66. If your suffering from dehydration then go and purchase this as soon as you can it is just that good.
 Loreal Colour Riche Lipstick in Pure Gold
I have seen a lot of gold pigmented products appearing on the market whether that be in a lip product or eye product. When I swatched this lipstick within the Pure Gold range, I was amazed at how pigmented this gold lipstick is. I purchased Dior’s gold lipstick from their Splendour collection but in comparison to the Loreal Pure Gold is much more pigmented and can be worn in many ways also like the Diorific in Golden.
You can purchase this lipstick from all Loreal stockists and is priced at £6.99 and is available in many different colours.
Loreal Gold Obsession Range
Loreal Pure Gold
Top: Loreal Pure Gold Bottom: Diorific Golden
Natasha Denona Star Palette
As a big fan of Natasha Denona makeup products, I was so excited when I heard she was releasing the Star Palette. The Star Palette consists of 18 shades of which there are 2 duo chrome shades, 3 metallic shades, 9 creamy matte shades and 4 crystal shades.
This palette has recently become one of my favourite eyeshadow palettes and I love how bendable all these shadows are to provide that flawless eye look we all crave.
This palette is available to purchase from the  Beautylish website and is priced at £135.00.
Dior Airflash CC Primer
You all know that I simply love the Dior Airflash so when the lovely and super talented Dior Backstage Makeup Artist Lucy told me about the CC Primer I knew I had to get my hands on this beauty.
Not only can you use this spray to prime your face before you apply your base but this handy spray also sets your makeup. To sum it up I would say its an all in one. I love this primer and I know all you lovelies will love it also.
The Dior Airflash CC Primer is available from all leading Dior counters and is priced at £30.00.
Dior Splendor Collection (Holiday)
As an avid fan of the Dior brand when I first saw what Dior’s Splendor collection I immediately fell in love with all the products within this Splendor collection. I was lucky and so excited to be the first person to purchase products within this collection. Within the Splendour collection there is an Illuminating pressed powder, Splendor vibrant colour blush, 4 Diorific Lip and Cheek Velvet Colour, 5 Diorific nail varnishes, 5 Diorific matte lipsticks and 2 eyeshadow palettes.
I ended up purchasing the Illuminating pressed powder, the Diorific lipstick in Golden and the Vibrant Colour Powder Blush. Head down to your nearest Dior counter to see for yourself how gorgeous this collection truly is for the holiday season.
Dior Dream Skin Cushion
There are so many different foundation cushions on the market but I fell in love with Dior’s version. I love the natural finish this cushion gives. Within this cushion there is a SPF of 50 which makes it perfect to take this cushion away with you on your holiday. The cushion is beautifully packaged and you also get a refill cushion. I actually use this with the Revive Le Tint to give a flawless look which lasts all day and gives you skincare benefits also.
You can purchase the Dior Dream Skin Cushion from all leading Dior counters and online also. The Dream Skin Cushion retails at £62.00 and included within the package a refill cushion. Its totally worth it lovelies in my opinion. I have to tell you lovelies since purchasing the Le Tint and Dream Skin Cushion I haven’t used a foundation since which I feel is helping my skin also.
I could probably go on and on about the many different products which I have been purchasing. I will be posting more reviews so stay tuned lovelies.
If you would like me to review any products or would like any advice then please contact me and leave me a message.
Until next time you lovelies.

Hi Lovelies
So now we are gearing up to the holiday season with all the makeup brands introducing their beautiful holiday collections. One brand who has just launched and added a new limited edition eyeshadow palette to their expanding makeup range is Huda Beauty.
When I first saw the pictures which Huda posted on her Instagram post regarding this palette, I instantly knew that I wanted this palette. Unfortunately when I finally got around to purchasing this palette on the UK launch date on the Cult Beauty website it had sold out due to the extremely high demand for this palette.
However as the reviews started to pour in their were a lot of mixed opinions where some bloggers and vloggers raved about the palette and some made claims about the poor pigment of all the shades within the palette and of course the price of palette.
After hearing these views I was in two minds as to whether I should purchase the palette when it came back in stock. So when browsing on the Harrods website I saw that it was in stock on the Harrods website so I decided to purchase the palette and test it out for myself.  However honestly I have never been so apprehensive as I was whilst purchasing this palette and was was even tempted to cancel the order after hearing the negative comments.
I was so excited when this came in the post but at the same a little apprehensive as to how the shades would swatch and wear. Within the Huda Beauty palette consists of 18 shades of which 6 are 3D metals, 2 chromatic pressed pearl shadows and finally 10 saturated matte shades.
So lets start with the packaging of this palette. When you remove the outer packaging you are left with a standard palette which is really disappointing in comparison to the price which you have paid for this palette. The pan sizes in my opinion are also quite small in regards to other palettes which are out in the market.
After swatching all the shades within the palette I was disappointed with the pigment especially when you consider the price you are going to pay for this palette. The Huda Beauty Rose Gold Palette retails at £56 and is sold at Cult Beauty and Harrods in the UK. However I was still in the hope that I could still love this palette once I created different looks using all the colours within this palette.
After using this palette for a week and creating many different looks, I liked some shades within the palette like Angelic, 24K, Dubai, Henna and Sandalwood. I was really disappointed with shades Rose Gold and the Black Truffle shade due to poor pigment when applied on the lid.
I also didn’t like applying the metal shades with my fingers as it made getting into my inner corners impossible as my eyeshadow brushes just wouldn’t pick up the pigment. Personally I have always purchased eyeshadow palettes which are pigmented and don’t require you to apply layers in order to achieve your desired look. With the Huda Beauty palette I felt I had to keep building the colour in order to achieve the desired look. A lot of the shades apply very patchy which I personally hate. Whilst watching Huda’s reveal video she did state that the Black Truffle shade was the most pigmented black. I have to disagree with her on this and go as far as saying its the worst black shadow I own. Below I have added a picture showing the Huda Beauty Black Truffle shade compared to other black shades in other palettes as a comparison.
Overall as a huge fan of Huda Beauty, I am deeply disappointed with the quality and pigment of this palette. I was truly so excited about this palette and I am so upset with the quality in terms of the price of the palette. I do feel that this palette is over priced in my opinion when there are lots of eyeshadow palettes on the market with a higher pigment level. I do feel that there are much better palettes on the market like the new Rodial eye sculpting palette which may not be as big as this palette but trust me the pigment is simply amazing and its a palette which I am loving at the moment. Another favourite eyeshadow palette of mine is all three Juvias Place palettes. These palettes are quite simply the best and truly pigmented eyeshadow palettes on the market at half the price of the Huda Beauty Palette.
Huda Beauty, Kat Von D, Rodial Eye Sculpt, Estee Lauder VB Palette
All these colours have been swatched twice.
If you would like to purchase the Huda Beauty Palette you can purchase the palette from Harrods as it is still in stock on their website.
Thats all for now lovelies stay tuned for more reviews and posts on what I’ve been purchasing lately.
Thank you for all the love you give I truly appreciate and love sharing my views and purchases with all you lovely people.
Lots of Love

Hi Lovelies,
Wow hasn’t the year just flown by, It still feels like yesterday I was up in Edinburgh celebrating the New Year and now were on the countdown to Christmas.
So its October and its officially Breast Cancer Awareness month but I wanted to raise awareness to all the different types of cancers. This subject is so close to my heart as many members of my family have been diagnosed and lived with and also through cancer.
As a child growing up with a family member who suffered from cancer, so I understand the trials and tribulations that come with an illness like cancer. I personally felt compelled to write this post to make both male and females aware of cancer and what to look for example when self examining.
As children we saw our grandfather suffer through the pain of cancer. At one point we were even told that he wouldn’t make it. My grandfather being the ultimate survivor fought his way through cancer. Whilst undergoing treatment he ended up loosing all feeling in the lower part of his body but with sheer determination, strength and excellent care he learnt how to walk again which was an excellent feat. It was terribly heartbreaking to see him look so frail whilst suffering, but the feeling of utter pride when he was able to pick us up from school again was amazing to witness. Sadly he isn’t with us today but there isn’t a day where we don’t miss him dearly.
The most common type of cancer is Breast cancer which can affect both females and male’s. Breast cancer is one of the most common type of cancer within the UK. Every year around 11,500 and 80 men die from breast cancer. A few women in my family have been diagnosed with breast cancer which is why it is so important to raise the awareness to check and examine your breasts regularly.
As women we are advised to self examine our breast but the same should apply to men also. So how do we self examine our breasts. Below I am going to post pictures of the steps to self examine and also signs to look out for.
Whilst writing this post I was amazed  to find how many different types of cancer exist which can affect us in many different ways whether that be bowel cancer, myeloma or even breast cancer.
Nowadays charities like Macmillan and Cancer Research provide excellent information to not only cancer patients but to their carers and families who are affected. I personally feel that we should donate as much as we can to charities like Macmillan and Cancer Research in order to help them to provide and prolong the service which they provide.
If you feel you have any symptoms or signs which relate to cancer then please head down to your nearest doctor or nurse to get those signs and symptoms examined.
Cancer not only affects the life of patients but those lives of their carers and families. A great deal of respect and praise must be paid to those people. I will list the websites to charities like Cancer Research and Macmillan where you can find more information.
For those individuals who have suffered or are still suffering with Cancer really do need praising for all the fight they put into fighting this disease. I really respect all you lovely people and I hope and pray that one day we will have a cure for this deadly disease. Today charities like Macmillan provide a helpline to help all people who are affected by cancer and that helpline is available all day everyday.
So lovelies thats all for today. I am going to list the names and websites of the cancer charities below. Lets all donate to help everyone who suffers from this deadly disease and help eliminate cancer altogether.

Macmillan (Helpline 0808 808 00 00)
Cancer Research (Helpline 0300 123 1022)

Hi Lovelies,
I just had to post about these wonderful hair products that I have been using and have been obsessed with at the moment. The products I am talking about are from  Ouai Haircare by Jen Atkin. Jen Atkin is a celebrity hairstylist to celebrities ranging from the Kardashians to Sofia Vergara.
I personally suffer from dry tresses due to colouring and bleaching when I got my ombre colour. I have tried all sorts of products to get rid of the dryness from oils to expensive shampoo and conditioners but nothing seemed to work, that was until I found Ouai.
Dry tresses due to colouring
I first heard about these products on Instagram and how good they were and then whilst shopping at Space NK I came across the Ouai haircare range and purchased the repair shampoo and conditioner to try it out. The lovely girls at Space NK in Manchester also told me how good the dry shampoo is as well as other hair products within the range.
After using the shampoo and conditioner for the first time I was so impressed with the shampoo and conditioner as my dry tresses were transformed and looked like salon worthy hair after blowdrying. The shampoo and conditioner gave me soft and healthy looking hair. After using the shampoo and conditioner for a few weeks now I have noticed that my hair is looking incredibly healthy and smooth and a lot less dry than what it was.
After loving the shampoo and conditioner I purchased the dry shampoo and the hair oil which is a wonder product in my opinion and the wave spray which has been highly raved about. Within the Ouai haircare range you will find hair products like dry shampoo, shampoo and conditioners, mousse, hairsprays, hair oil, wave spray, and treatment conditioning masks.
I cannot rave enough about the hair oil. This hands down is the best hair oil I have ever  used. One pump gives your hair a smooth silky finish like you have just stepped out of the hair salon. If your looking for a hair oil to repair and give you salon worthy hair then look no further than Ouai’s hair oil. I actually showed the Ouai hair oil to my cousin who tried it and was so impressed by hair oil she ordered it there and then.
You can purchase Ouai haircare products from Space NK, Cult Beauty and Panache. The hair care products as mentioned above range from £20-£24.
Overall lovelies I highly recommend these haircare products as the results speak for themselves. I no longer suffer from dry tresses so if any of you lovely people suffer from dry hair and have tried everything the I suggest you invest in Ouai haircare. Also these haircare products smell amazing also. You will not regret it as I definitely do not.
Smooth and healthy finish using the Ouai Repair Shampoo and Conditioner and Oil

That’s all for today lovelies I hope you enjoy this post and I have lots more content coming so stay tuned. I would love to hear your comments.
Thank you lovelies.

Hi Lovelies,
Ever since I was told about this wonderful lipliner which when applied stops your lipstick from bleeding at the Rouge Dior lipstick launch event I was instantly intrigued and had to try it out for myself.
As you all may have gathered I have been in love with Dior’s new lipstick range but particularly with the matte colours. I have even put my liquid lipsticks to one side in favour of these super conditioning matte lipsticks. As an avid lipstick collector I have always found and hate when the lipstick bleeds especially whilst eating or drinking which was why I have been wearing liquid lipsticks up until now that is.
The Dior Universal Lipliner pencil is part of Dior’s backstage range and is a totally transparent lipliner which suits all skin tones and you can use it with any shade of lipstick. The Universal lipliner has a wax formula and is also a great base to set your lipstick and stop it from feathering.
Normally whilst eating foods like burgers and pizzas I always find a line of lipstick on my chin so I have to make sure that I always have my concealer on hand to cover up. So I was so amazed when after eating a burger the lipstick didn’t budge that I took a selfie there and then to share with all you lovely people.
So lovelies if you are looking for that wonder product to stop your lipstick ending up half way down your chin then you need to purchase this lipliner and trust me you will not regret it. I am seriously  in love with the Dior Universal lipliner and I will always keep this lipliner in my kit.
You can purchase the Dior Universal lipliner at all Dior beauty counters and online and is priced at £20.50
That’s all for today lovelies I hope you enjoy this post and I have lots more content coming so stay tuned. I would love to hear your comments.
Thank you lovelies.

Hi Lovelies,
I wanted to share with you all today my skincare routine and the products which I use on a daily basis or even on a weekly basis.
Skincare is so important as it helps to create the perfect canvas before you apply your makeup. It’s always been a motto of mine to invest in good skincare which benefits my skin and helps to solve and also prevent any skin problems which I may have at any given time.
Skincare can range in price but it doesn’t necessarily mean that the more expensive a product the better it will be for your skin. It is mainly about your skin accepting that product and working to fulfil its purpose to the best of its ability. Nowadays you can try products before you buy and that is something that I personally do and recommend before I invest to see if that particular product will work for me and help me in achieving the perfect skin base.
So many people as well as makeup artists often comment on how great my skin is (Literally touching wood) and that is down to the products listed below.
So without further a do I am going to share with all you lovely people the skincare products which I use.
Colbert MD Balance Purifying Cleanser
This is one of best cleansing products on the market and in my opinion one of the best that I have tried to this date. Not only does this cleanser soothe, condition and balance your complexion but it removes all traces of makeup. So lovelies if you are looking for the perfect cleanser I personally recommend this product and whats more is that it is for all skin types which appeals to everyone. I also love how  after using this cleanser it doesn’t make your skin tight but lovely and soft making it the perfect product for people who have sensitive skin. The Colbert MD Balance Purifying Cleanser is available at all Space NK stores and online and is priced at £45.00.

Espa Purifying Micellar Cleanser
This is a great cleanser to take away any remaining stubborn left over makeup but also a great toner. The Espa Micellar cleanser is literally a one step cleanser to leave skin feeling refreshed, replenished and balanced.This product is suitable for all skin types. You can purchase the Espa Purifying Micellar Cleanser from all leading Espa counters and is priced at £24.00
Origins GinZing Eye Cream
I first came across this product whilst watching a Huda Beauty vlog post on You Tube. This truly is a wonder product for eliminating those dreaded eye bags. This product really has helped to erase my eye bags. Although I’m still searching for that wonder product that will erase my dreaded dark circles. (I live in hope) The Origins GinZing Eye Cream is available at all leading Origins counter and is priced at £20.00. 
Nude Pro Genius Firming Oil 
I love how this oil not only helps to firm my skin but also gives my skin a lovely glow. The oil plumps the skin and helps to give a noticeably youthful look. You can purchase the Nude Pro Genius Firming Oil from all Space NK stores and online and is priced at £72.00.
Rodial Dragon’s Blood Sculpting Gel
Currently  I am loving this product as it helps to tone and tighten the skin as well as plumping the skin to give a more youthful look. The Rodial Dragon’s Blood Sculpting Gel is available at all leading Rodial counters and is priced at £79.00
Rodial Stem Cell Magic Gel
This lovelies has to be one of the best moisturisers which I have tried and trust me you name and I have tried it including brands like La Mer to Oskia. I sometimes suffer from dry patches and since using this wonder product. This moisturiser is dubbed the multi purpose SOS skin fix and it really is a skin fix. This lightweight cream hydrates your skin and gives a lovely healthy glow. What’s more is that it can also be used as a primer. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to get rid of those dastardly dry patches. The Rodial Stem Cell Magic Gel is available at all leading Space NK stores and online and is priced at £49.00. 
Nude Brightening  Fizzy Powder Wash
This is one of my skin saviours which I use three times a week to exfoliate my skin. This powder only needs a few drops of water to create a mixture which you apply to your skin, all you have to is massage it into your skin and then wash it off. I love how it brightens my skin tone and provides hydration and elasticity to my skin. The Nude Brightening Fizzy Powder Wash is available at all Space NK stores and online and is priced at £38.00.
………………………………….
So there you have it these are the skin care products which I am using at the moment. All the products I have listed above I would definitely recommend all these products as they have personally worked for me. However I know everyone’s skin is different and we all suffer from many different problems which is why I would always ask to try a sample of any product and see how your skin reacts to the product first.
That’s all for today lovelies I hope you enjoy this post and I have lots more content coming so stay tuned. I would love to hear your comments.
Thank you lovelies.
