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

5 BEAUTY PRODUCTS UNDER £10

 Being on a budget is something that lots of us have to get used to, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t own amazing makeup! I’ve put together a list of five products that I love, that are under £10.

 The first one has to be the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, or you’ve watched my videos, you’ll know that there’s nothing I love more than matte skin. This product gives a beautiful finish, setting flawlessly with light coverage your foundation. I went for the translucent powder, as I wasn’t quite sure what shade I was, and it’s absolutely perfect.

The Rimmel Natural Bronzer is another product I love. It’s quite a light shade, making it absolutely  perfect for school or just popping out to the shops. Again, the darkness is buildable, but I wouldn’t recommend to go too dark, as it tends to go a bit ‘muddy’.

  Then we have the Revlon Stay Skinny liquid liner. It’s perfect for a day look or a night out, as the thickness and darkness of your flick is completely up to you. i usually use it in a sophisticated little flick, and I love the result (when I manage to make my eyes look the same).

   My next product is the Sephora Kiss Me Balm. I have really dry lips, so something I always have to have with me is a lip balm. When I found this one I was really impressed, at the beginning because of it’s fantastic smell, and after that for how soft it was on my lips. I paired it with the Maybelline Colour Sensational Lip Liner in the shade Plum. I normally use it for my whole lips, instead of just contouring them, as the shade is truly beautiful and the consistency is soft and easy to blend, but even using the two products together is a beautiful match.

 So if recently you’ve been on a budget, and you really want to buy some new products, why not try these ones out? Love, Sara xx

MASCARALICIOUS: KIKO

Finding new mascaras that I love is quite a complicated task for me, as I’m very picky on the texture and effect certain mascaras have. 

Recently, as I was looking at Kiko’s new products, I spotted a mascara with beautiful packaging. Perfect packaging doesn’t always mean a perfect product, but I felt like I had to at least try it. It’s the ‘Extra Sculpt waterproof Mascara’ and it is probably my favourite mascara at the moment. The brush is curved, making it super easy to apply and also curling your lashes beautifully. The effect is a sexy dark look, with so volume that it looks like you’re wearing fake lashes most of the time.

 Then I spotted a mascara from their summer collection, that I decided I would try out to see how I liked it. I can definitely say that I was very pleasantly surprised at how dark it’s coat are. For someone like me, who loves having dark eyes and lashes, it was absolutely amazing. 

Most days I use these two mascaras together, to have big dark eyes that last all day long. I’m so happy with these two mascaras, you should try them too.

 What’s your favourite mascara? Love, Sara xx

I'M BACKKK

I have to start off by apologizing, since I have been absent from my blog since the beginning of August. I was away on holiday, and I found it really hard to feel motivated and post. But, I did take loads of outfit shots, so expect a few of those in November. I'm going to try and go back into my Monday-Wednesday-Friday routine, but we'll see how it goes. I'm really going to try this time to keep going at least till December, when i might have a little break. So hopefully you should have three posts a week to read. If you want to find out when i post or when I upload a video, follow me on my social media. Love you, Sara xx

SING IN FRONT OF A BIG CROWD #19

Since I’ve was a little girl, one of my dreams has been to be a singer and sing in front of a big crowd. As some of you might know, in March 2014 I joined a band called Sound Chemistry. We play melodic-punk-rock, and I really love our music. We write our own songs, and recently we got the chance to play live twice. Both times there were about 100 to 200 people watching, and I was nervous to say the least. Playing live for any musician is amazing, a dream come true. Even though people didn’t know our songs, and some maybe weren’t even listening, it still felt incredible to have people hear our work. 

Lots of times we back out of things because we’re scared that we might mess up, but I can guarantee you that even if you mess up, you’ll just laugh about it later. It’s better to try and then maybe decide to never do it again, than to never try, and regret it one day. If you want to listen to our band: here is our youtube channel. 

DOUBLE UP-ESTEE LAUDER DOUBLE WEAR

When I find new foundation-concealer duos, I always get very excited, as I think that makeup that is put together in a set is obviously a perfect match. So when I discovered the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place duo, I got very very happy. As soon as I had a chance I went to Sephora and bought them. 

As soon as I tried the foundation my first reaction was “Wow this is very high coverage!” and it’s true: this is a very high coverage foundation, that is perfect if you’re having a bad skin day, or you just feel really yucky and want something to cover you up nicely. The only negative comment I have about this foundation is that it doesn’t have a pump, so too much comes out each time you put it on. But other than that, it’s really one of the best foundations I own. 

 Now let’s talk about the concealer. I am completely and utterly in love with this product. It’s perfect for every day, and not only it works beautifully as a concealer, but also as a highlighter. I use it as both almost every day, and the result is a light and alive look even when it’s 6.30 and I feel dead. 

If you’ve never tried eny of these products I really think you should venture out to buy them, really. Or you can just buy them here: Foundation, Concealer.
