A Hungry, Happy, Hippie

I am always in a rush. And I absolutely HATE HATE HATE being late. I never have the time to do my make-up because I'm really lazy and always rushing out the door. If I'm honest, I rather sleep in than do my make-up in the mornings. But sometimes you just need to put something on to look a bit more lively. L'Oreal True Match Foundation (shade: Cappuccino 8W) This does not feel like a foundation to me. It is super creamy and feels really nice on your skin. But at the same time, it doesn't make my skin look oily (and I get such oily skin). It's got medium coverage even though it has a lightweight consistency. Which is perfect for the summer, because I don't really want to be piling heavy amounts of makeup on myself in the hot sun. But when I do a bit more coverage I can build this foundation up. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder (shade: Dark) I've been using this as setting powder ever since I was 15. I can usually find a drug store foun...

My guilty pleasure is walking around Chemist Warehouse. Which then leads to me spending more money than I should (it's so bad, I should stop). After a while of using them I thought I could now give an accurate opinion on them. Elf Cosmetics Concealer  I had such high hopes for this concealer. This was the first product of Elf Cosmetics I've tried and I hate to say that I was disappointed. I use the last shade on the right. At first touch it is really moist. So I thought that this would work with me. In reality it begins to feel really dry under my eyes and actually start to flake after some time. It also just sits in my creases under my eyes no matter how much I blend it. I'll probably give this concealer one more try before I decide to say hell no. L'oreal True Match Foundation  Rant alert: You have no idea how hard it is to find foundation that is my shade. I am a dark-skinned girl living in a white make-up world. Sorry if that offends you b...

You know I feel about lip products. I think every girl buys too many lip products than they should do. I fit in that category. Has anyone seen that episode of 2 Broke Girls where Max and Caroline have like no money at all but Max wants this damn lipstick. That is my life. Like I probably shouldn't be spending money on makeup, but I am. At least I get a blog post out of it. Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator  I use this as a highlighter because it's dark enough to be one for me. It's quite light in terms of thickness of it. It comes on really smooth and has a light shine to it. It's thankfully not that sparkly because it drives me crazy when everything is sparkly. This does glow quite nicely on my upper cheekbones and I really like the smooth texture of this. With this a little goes a long way, you should definitely not be slathering this on because you'll look overly sparkly. If you have lighter skin you could probably pull this off as a bronzer. I don...

I'm so sad because February is over and that means that summer is officially over and this also brings an end to lovely beach days and swimming every single day. But I've got some favourites that I hope you enjoy because I've been enjoying them. Sukin Revitalising Facial Scrub  After coming back from Malaysia, the weather and the greasy food I'd been eating tore up my skin and my usual face wash wasn't fixing my terrible skin. However this Sukin natural facial wash fixed everything and my skin was finally back to normal. It's also 100% natural and vegan and is not tested on animals. It goes on your face really smooth smooth and doesn't leave that stinging sensation that some facial washes do.  Circular Sunglasses I told myself at the beginning of Summer that I wouldn't buy anymore pairs of sunglasses (because I am addicted to them) and here I've gone, breaking promises. I just couldn't help myself. I was out with my friends who are t...
