BENEFIT-THE POREFESSIONAL REVIEW

When I stepped into Sephora this time, I knew exactly what I had came for. I walked over to the Benefit stand, looking for the extremely famous Porefessional. The reason behind this: I had fallen in love with the Sephora smoothing primer (  ) and I wanted to try out some different ones.

Aside from the fact that it is maybe the most talked about product on the internet, it really is a miracle.

 It’s texture and coverage is essential for the perfect result. The no-colour scheme makes it impossible to be confused on which one you should be buying, and it really leaves amazing results.

 I’ve never been one to have huge pores or pimples, but I’ve recently noticed a few breakouts, and The Porefessional helped to cover and minimilize them.

 It also helps make makeup last and doesn’t leave a dewy finish at all.

Yes, it can seem expensive, but it’s really an investment. An investment in your skin and your beauty.

NAKEDNESS:NAKED PALETTE 3

How can a product be loved so much? I ask myself that question often, especially when I’m looking at the Naked palette 3. It’s one of the most stunning palettes I own, and I really can’t get enough of the variety of pinky nudes that it offers. They’re all perfectly pigmented, perfect for a smokey eye or just a simple dab of sweet colour. I adore the matte colours, and they are my day to day shades, whereas the more shimmery colours are perfect for an evening out.

Dust and Nooner are my favourite shades, and I love achieving new looks every time I try a new combination of colours. The brush that comes incorporated in the palette is soft and easy to use, making the application absolutely flawless.

All the shades are absolutely beautiful, and even though I don’t think all of them are of daily use, I absolutely recommend it to anyone out there who is looking for a new stunning palette that radiates summer everywhere.

SUMMER VIBES:DAISY DREAM AND YSL LIPSTICKS

English weather is extremely unpredictable, and even though this year summer is very hot and sunny, most years the heat takes a long time to get here, or never really arrives. Sometimes we need a breath of fresh, summery air even when it’s raining outside and you’re wearing a heavy Zara jumper(always been my absolute favourites). I’ve found that one of the only ways to feel like summer is actually here, is perfume. Now, I don’t know about you, but finding the perfect summer perfume is quite a task for me. I wanted a fresh, flowery scent, that somehow makes me feel happy and radiant.

I finally found IT when I smelt Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs the first time. Everyone talked about it last year, and it was the latest ‘everyone needs to try it’ product, but I wasn’t really one to fuss about perfumes back then. Now it’s my absolute favourite, and it just completes a summer day with it’s light and very flowery scent. It’s one of those perfumes that just makes you feel pretty even on a ‘ugh day’, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

But, the secret to feeling summery is not only perfume, but also lipsticks. Lipstick is the perfect way to brighten up your face on a very dull day, and I feel like the Rouge Couture collection by Yves Saint Laurent is exactly what you’ve been looking for.

The two shades that I picked out look like ‘summer at it’s best’ for me, and I love adding a splash of colour to my makeup look in this period of the year.

 PINK RHAPSODY is a vibrant pink, very fresh and bright, that never fails to impress. 

CORAIL POETIQUE on the other hand, is a light coral colour, that I absolutely adore. It’s simple and sophisticated and just has a ‘I’m pretty now’ feel to it. All the lipsticks in the collection are a mix between a matte finish and a dewy finish, leaving your lips exactly like they are normally, so as an effect, making you feel like you have nothing on your lips.

Summer is my favourite period of the year, and I love anything summery really, so these three products are perfect for me and any other summer lovers out there.

What are your favourite summer products?

KIKO-AFTER SUN HAIR REPAIR SERUM REVIEW

 

A few years ago, i think about two or three, I died my hair with red henna, and since then it’s always looked quite ruined at the ends, and it’s often dry. I thought my only solution was to cut off the split ends every two or three months, but I have recently found an amazing product for damaged hair.

It’s the Kiko After Sun Hair Repair Serum. As the name implies, it helps to repair, or prevent, hair from getting damaged by the sun, but also water and the wind.

I use it every time I have a shower, as soon as I get out, applying it evenly on my whole scalp and then along all the length of my hair, focusing on the damaged parts that look ruined or that are very fragile.

It’s really easy to apply and it has an amazing scent, perfect for summer. It was quite cheap, and Kiko is amazing value for money, so I really recommend popping in to a shop, or just browsing on their website, to see if you find something.

This is one of the best products I have ever tried on my hair, and I’m very happy with the results.
