Staycation: Edinburgh Short Break/Holiday

 

By Edinburgh Castle


2021 has been another year, but this year i was determined to not let it go to waste - at least some sort of staycation had to happen. 

So I booked a flight only to stay in the UK but outside of England (ehhh see what I did there lol). I went to Scotland and had a really a good time - it was very much needed and the change of environment was much appreciated. To see what I got up to in Scotland, click the video below (watch till the end).

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Trying out Luxury make-up!!

 

Barry M and Dior Products
used for my everyday makeup
(please see below the before and after)

So this winter season I have been doing some makeup shopping as most of my makeup had expired. This time around I wanted to try out popular and luxurious brands, so popped by the Dior counter at a department store and bought the Forever Natural Bronze to use as an everyday powder instead of bronzer. I must say the customer service was exceptional and lets just say I scored a few samples (Miss Dior Perfume, Anti ageing serum and Foundation) which I really loved. My favourite product are hands down the foundation, bronze powder and the serum. I also order a new lip liner from Barry M cosmetics in the colour Chocolate and let's just say it has become part of my everyday look - one of my favourite products and best purchase. 

Forever Natural bronze - colour 08

WHAT'S IN MY MAKEUP BAG? | FAVOURITE MAKEUP PRODUCTS

 



Hi Everyone,

Today's post is all about makeup, with today's society and influence of social media platforms we have all become extreme consumers and hoarders of makeup we never use. When the restrictions were put in place most of us went months without wearing any makeup and now that everything is opening up again it's time to dust of those makeup draws. The first thing I would recommend you do it to throw away anything you have had for over 12-18 months - trust me you do not want to use that on your face (I'm speaking from experience here). Next is to sit down, evaluate and really truly ask yourself what do you really use? Why did you buy all of that makeup? Do you need all of it?

I asked myself those questions and realised the only reason why I had a huge collection (in my definition) was purely based on following trends and wanting to say "yes" I have that lipstick. So I took time to go through my make up bag and brought it down to what I need and anything that was old went straight to the bin!

I am not going to lie, it was painful but it was needed. Holding on to stuff that you do not need is a waste of space (literally) and a waste of money. There is no value in an item you do not use!

With that said if you are nosey and want to see what I keep in my makeup bag or how I do my natural no makeup look - click on the below links
