Thank God It’s

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having the most wonderful week and enjoying the sunshine! Don’t you find that the weather has such a huge affect on your mood? Anyways this week i wanted to share some fun and bright pieces with you that are totally making me smile and hopefully will make you smile as well! So when you’re ready, scroll down! Don’t forget to share your favourites with me in the comment section!

I shared these with you on my Instagram a while ago and a lot of you had questions about this! They look like roses, they feel like roses, they are roses but they are freeze dried! That means they last up to 3 years! Now that’s an investment worth making!

With spring finally here I find my beauty routine has changed a little bit as well! I’m reaching for brighter colours, like this beautiful one from Lipstick Queen! I know what you’re thinking – it’s yellow but it isn’t actually!

This lipstick changes colour according to your pH level when you wear it! It turns from yellow to a pinky peach! How cool is that?

Literally. Playing. This. On. Repeat.

What song are you loving right now? What do you think of this one?

I love the name of this shade; Bon Boy-age! It’s like it’s ready for the sunshine and the perfect pastel shade to match with everything!

It was one of you guys’s favourite shades on Instagram as well; you guys helped me pick it as my colour of the week so be sure to get yours!

As you saw in one of my most recent posts, I’m obsessed with my statement hoodie. This one is a super affordable one that is so chic! So many cute outfit ideas are brewing when I look at it!

Your Most Versatile Makeup Tool; Lipstick

One of the things I love about makeup is how versatile and multipurpose it is. Just because something is made for a specific part of your face, doesn’t mean you can’t use it in a hundred other ways. Take your favourite lipstick for example. Did you know that there are tons of other ways to get the most out of your all-time favourite shade? Today I’m here to brighten up your winter makeup routine and show you how to inject a little bit more colour and fun into your everyday beauty routine. These are my three favourite ways to use lipstick and three ways that you haven’t thought of yet! Trust me, you’ll be walking into spring looking brighter and feeling better once you have these hacks under your beauty belt!

As A Colour Corrector

Dark circles are something that every girl has and struggles with. You can cover them up with your concealer but most of the time it’s not a clean slate that you end up with, but layers and layers of concealer. What you need is your favourite red/orange lipstick. Our dark circles have a blue undertone. To combat this, you need to correct the colour on your skin by using an opposite colour; red/orange. If you have a fair complexion, I would suggest red. If you are closer to my complexion, go for more of an orange. I use the Chanel Rouge Allure in shade 96. Apply the lipstick on your dark circles using a lip brush. Then dap your concealer on top and blend. You’ll end up with an orange colour correction. You can then apply more concealer on top to blend or foundation! The finished product? Perfectly bright eyes and skin!

As Eyeshadow

A beauty trend for 2018 is matching your eyes and your lips. The runway has been full of pink eyelids to match glossy pink lips. An easy way to get that look is with the Dior Lip Glow. Just apply directly on your eyelids and then on your lips. If you’re looking for something a bit smokier and bolder though, try this. Apply your lipstick of choice on your eyelids and dab so that it starts to blend in. Then, with your fingers or your flat eyeshadow brush, apply your eyeshadow of choice on top and start to blend! What you get is a very smokey and gorgeous colour that has the same tint to your lips! Perfect for girls night out!

As A Blush

A lot of the times I use my lipstick as a blush because the pigment is much stronger and there are so many more fun shades to choose from! Something I love to do in winter and spring is to mix my lipstick with a few drops of my favourite liquid highlighter. The result is a blush with some shimmer! This also lightens the lipstick colour making it more wearable for your cheeks! The perfect way to add some shine and colour to your face! Plus, it stays on much longer than any powder blush!
