Holiday Essentials // Part 1: Make-Up

BEAUTY

I was actually planning on doing these posts before I went on holiday but I'm sorry to say I've been seriously slacking in the blog writing department (having two weeks off work and going to Greece can do that to you...), although at least now I can say which products I reached for the most whilst I was away! I'm gonna do a holiday post and tell you about my faveee parts of Rhodes too (I'm back on my blogging game haha!).

My Three Favourite Foundations For Dry Skin // Nars, Armani + Chanel

BEAUTY

I have quite dry skin so finding a good foundation that doesn't dry it out further or enhance the appearance of any parched patches is something of a must. These three are all perfect foundations for me and are ones that I love to mix and match with, all depending on the shade and finish that I'm after.

A Quick + Easy Eye-Look // Nars Pro Prime + Marc Jacobs Twinkle Pop Eye-Stick

BEAUTY

I went on holiday a little while back to Barcelona and whilst I was there I couldn't resist a trip to Sephora. I actually surprised myself a little and was very restrained (shower gel dropping incidents aside... clumsy as always!), only purchasing a Marc Jacobs Eye-Stick and a couple of face masks (blog post to come on these!). I also recently purchased a new eye-primer from Nars to replace my trusty old Urban Decay one which recently ran out, and I have to say I'm really loving the two together for a quick and easy eye combo.

Ready To Glow // Nars Puerto Vallarta Multiple

BEAUTY

I feel like I've been a little bit obsessed with blusher and multi-use products lately; and this little beauty fits into both categories. The Nars multiple in the shade Puerto Vallarta is something I've had for quite a while, but recently I've been using it ALOT.

Christmas Sparkle // Nars Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow

BEAUTY

Christmas is just the perfect time for glitter, don't you think? Over the festive season I love to put that extra oomph into my eye make-up and this Nars Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow in the shade Dione does exactly that. Dione is an extremely sparkly silver-taupe shade and looks just perfect when pared with a darker brown shade at the outer corners of the eyes, as well as alone. This shade looks cool in the pan but is much warmer when on the eyes, which I like.

Autumn Skin // Nars Sheer Glow Foundation

BEAUTY

I've been meaning to write about this little gem for quite a while now, but with the clocks turning back and Autumn in full swing, now seems like the perfect moment. This is a much hyped product, but for good reason; it feels light on the skin and gives a good medium coverage (not sheer as the name suggests), as well as giving a subtle healthy glow.

A Few New Beauty Purchases

BEAUTY

So I went shopping today in town and bought a few new beauty products I've never tried before, so I thought I'd share my thoughts on them...
