Nivea men post shave balm
After seen Nikkie tutorials talk about using this Nivea post shave balm as a primer I was dying to try it. The main ingredient after water is glycerin. Glycerin helps makeup stick to the skin. It is a hummictant which means it draws moisture to the skin. Helping to keep your makeup prefect all day.
Honestly, On myself I don't really believe in primers as my foundation usually does just stay in place all day. However lately in work the air conditioning has been really drying on my skin and I notice when I go home from work its patchy. So I thought this product would be prefect to try out and I was pleasantly surprised my makeup didn't budge all day even tho I was wearing a very light foundation. I also got alot of complements on my makeup and felt that the products set on top of the primer very well.

Mac Face & body
Mac face and body has been one of my favourite foundation for the last six months. In the summer I wore this foundation on its own as its a sheer coverage but water proof so its long lasting. It is very easy to build this up to a medium coverage without look ca key at all! It has a natural finish which gives the skin a light luminosity.
Face & body as foundation
For nights out I mixed a drop of pro long wear foundation from mac. Giving it a semi matte finish. I switch between C4 and C3 when I'm not as tanned.

The body shop; Coconut Shimmer body butter.
I had a love hate relationship with this body butter.
I bought it because its smelled sooo amazing like fresh coconuts. I've heard amazing this about the body shops body butters so I bought it for my holidays last year however I was far to tanned and the sliver shimmer in it make me look sliver rather than just blending in.
However, after using this only recently over faded fake tan it worked beautiful and just gave me a gorgeous glow plus made my skin smell amazing and felt so hydrated.
Moral of the story its such a beautiful body butter, but I was an NC40 when I came home from holidays so what could I expect. I love it now been less tan.

Buff and Blend; Faux mink lashes 'Side of sassy'
These are from an Irish owned company called Buff and blend. By the stunning girl boss Nicola Costigan. Nicola is a professional makeup artist which is brilliant as she knew exactly what standard her products should be working in the industry herself. The range of lashes is constantly expanding with beautiful new styles been added. I love finding amazing Irish companies and I think its important to support them.
These lashes are constantly selling out as they are in high demand and I can see why after receving them they are so beautiful, fully and fluffy. I picked the style side of sassy because how the create a prefect cat eye which flare out a the side.
Wearing side of sassy lashes.
I absouletly love them! I cant get enough. They are one of my favourite lashes I've ever bought. They are so soft and fluffy. They are just the right amount of drama for me as i've small eyes and like to stay on the more 'natural' side. They make an look extra glam. The first few minutes after I applied the lashes they felt slightly uncomfortable but after that the lashes seemed to mould into shape to fit my eyes prefectly and they have been fine to wear ever since. Just a little warning if your like me and have never worn such luxury lashes before it might take your eyes a few seconds to adjust to but after them few seconds they will fit like a glove.

Zara Perfume- Joyful tuberose
Safe to say that Im obbessed with this perfume. I wanted an everyday perfume to just throw into my hand bag for on the go. But when everyone started to ask me about what perfum I was wearing and complementing it I knew I needed the larger bottle. I am the worst at discribing scents. But I feel if you like flower bomb type perfumes you will loveeee this. All of zara perfumes are gorgeous so have a smell of them for yourself.
