BRONZERS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

Bronzer is a product that only recently I’ve been starting to appreciate and use correctly. For a long time I thought that it looked like dirt on my face, mainly because I didn’t actually know how to apply it, but now it’s one of my favourite parts of my daily routine. I chose these three mainly because they are the ones I prefer to use on different occasions.  

Hoola by Benefit is my everyday, go-to bronzer. I use it on a daily basis, and I love the brush that comes with it as well, making it really easy to apply.

 Beach Babe Bronzer by Kiko is my ‘natural, no makeup’ look. The colour is quite light, and perfect for a simple and sophisticated makeup look.

True Bronze Pressed Powder Bronzer by Clinique is my ‘smarter’ bronzer. I use it if I have an important event, or something I want to look extra good for, as the colour is pigmented and a beautiful shade.

 All three of the bronzers are amazing, and you should try them out, if you haven’t already.  What’s your favourite bronzer? Love, Sara xx

3 'CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT' BEAUTY PRODUCTS

If I had to say three products that I couldn’t live without, I’d have to go for the Kiss Balm(Kiko), the Colossal Volume Mascara(Maybelline) and the Universal Brow Freeze(Sephora). I chose these three products because they focus on three important features: lips, eyes and eyebrows. 

My lips are naturally really dry, so I need something to moisten(oh how I hate that word) them. The Kiss balm by Kiko is a beautiful product that does just that as well as hinting a bit of colour. I have the colour Tutti Frutti, and it smells tropical and fresh, which is perfect for summer. 

The Colossal Volume Mascara by Maybelline is one of those mascaras that makes your eyes dark after just a few coats. You can choose how much volume and colour you want to apply. I went for quite a natural look, applying only one coat. 

The Universal Brow Freeze by Sephora is my favourite brow product at the moment.  It’s a pencil, that has no colour, and it’s function it to literally ‘freeze’ your eyebrows in place. It’s perfect if you’re having a night out, or even if you just have a long day ahead of you, and you want to be sure your brows stay in place. 

I recommend all three of these products completely, as they are my favourite products at the moment. What are your three favourite products?

MY SKINCARE ROUTINE 2015

My skincare routine is something I’ve been trying to get right for a long time. I have very strange skin, so it’s hard to know what products to use. But I finally think that I can say that the products I use at the moment are perfect.

To start off with I should probably tell you about my skin. My skin is quite oily, even though I was blessed with quite clear skin, but around my nose area my skin often peels. These are two completely different skin types, so two different types of products as well, but I finally feel like I can say that Kiko came to the rescue.

Kiko has always been one of my favourite brands of makeup, and I never even thought of trying their skincare section. But last month, as I was in the store buying much too many things, I came across the skincare stand, and decided to pick up some products to try out.

To start off with, even if it’s the morning and my face has no makeup on it, I use the Cleansing Eyes(Kiko) with a cotton pad, to make sure my eye have no mascara left on from the previous night.

 Then I use the Cleansing Milk & Tone(Kiko) to remove any foundation or cream. 

 And to finish off the first part of the routine I use the Purifying Pads(Kiko).

I love the feeling of clean skin soon after I wake up, and it’s a great way to brighten your face up straight away.

After having made sure that my face is nice and clean, I apply my Energy Mask(Kiko), that is a detoxifying black mask that cleanses the face nicely from pollution and impurities. After 15 minutes or so I remove it using warm water and a towel.

After that comes the last part: the Cleansing Scrub(Kiko). I apply this, on wet skin, using circular motions with my hands and apply it evenly and then use warm water to take everything off.

At the end of all of these steps my skin feels nice and smooth, and I can see a big difference from before I started.

What’s your skincare routine?
