Chantecaille Just Skin
[Affiliate Links] I’ve already shared my review of Chantecaille Just Skin* on my Instagram but figured it’s time I write a whole blog post about it, so here it is! Firstly, a little bit of a background on my makeup habits or lack thereof; I’m not excellent with makeup and I’m pretty open about that, which is honestly probably why I’m so into my skincare. I’ve watched countless smoky eye tutorials and contouring videos but at the end of the day I like makeup products that are easy to apply, require minimal time and the least amount of effort possible. I don’t have a steady hand so I’ve accepted that the…

Favourite non-foundation bases
As much as I am both thrilled and intrigued by the plethora of foundations on the market, the truth is I don’t really wear foundation that often. I generally like my skin to look natural (except red lips, obviously) and glowing, so most of the time when I go out in public I reach for a base that offers some coverage, but isn’t quite a foundation. BB Creams, Tinted Moisturisers and pigment-blurring potions are my friends and I use them all year round. They are just nice, low maintenance alternatives to full-blown foundations and every single one that I’m about to talk about blends away easily using just fingertips, so…

Urban Decay Naked Skin Bronzing Beauty Balm Review
Spring seems to have arrived on time this year so I’ve got my mind firmly on bronzing beauty products. I do occasionally use fake tan on my face but I’m such an acid exfoliator fanatic that it’s almost pointless applying something designed to last a few days when it’s just going to come off the next time I exfoliate. That’s where Urban Decay Naked Skin Bronzing Beauty Balm comes in – I can just slap this on and my face matches my neck in no time. The bronzing BB is a fairly recent addition to my beauty arsenal but I can definitely see myself getting a lot of use of…

Rodial BB Venom Skin Tint Review
That awkward moment when you find something expensive that you would definitely repurchase? Yeah that happened. I went to the Space NK Beauty Anthology shopping event on Wednesday evening and spent a bit of time with a particularly lovely Rodial rep who introduced me to some fabulous bits and pieces including this – the Rodial BB Venom Skin Tint. Touted as a flawless complexion beauty balm with active peptides, and packaged in a slightly sinister looking black tube, the skin tint is just like any other BB cream at first glance, but look a little closer and you’ll see it’s got a playful little twist. The ingredient that makes it…

MAC Prep + Prime BB Compact Review
I have been absolutely loving the MAC Prep and Prime BB Compact this summer. From what I’ve read, this little compact has been subject to fairly mixed reviews so I was initially a little sceptical – I needn’t have worried though because it now lives happily in my handbag and gets a lot of use. The compact is a solid cream formula that ‘illuminates’ and evens the skin and leaves a semi-translucent finish – perfect for sunnier days when you just can’t face a full on base. I ordered the MAC BB Compact online which is always a gamble when it comes to coloured bases, but I found a pretty…
