Hi Darlings, in today's #MakeupMonday I'm going to share with you this Fallon Carrington Retro Glam Look. I'm definitely feeling this look. Let's start from the beginning, I LOVE Fallon Carrington, if you don't know her, she's the main character in the Netflix TV Show Dynasty. My sister and I have watched the show from the beginning when there were just two episodes out. Fallon is one of my favourite characters ever and I'm kind of surprised I haven't done a look inspired by hers until now. I mean I know her makeup is not that complicated but I was in the mood to do a look like this, which makes me feel like a boss. It has that classic retrò glam vibe, I love it. I've used the ...
L’Oreal Skin Paradise Tinted Water Cream | Review
Hi Darlings, today's post is going to be the review and swatch of the L'Oreal Skin Paradise Tinted Water Cream. You know I love me a good summer tinted moisturizer and this L'Oreal one looked so interesting, I needed to try it but the first time I when to try it there wasn't a shade that really matched me, they were all too dark or too yellow. But since I recently started self tanning I could use a darker shade so I went and got it. It's not out in the States yet, but you'll be able to get it from Ulta for about 12$, I have the shade 03 Light. ...

Smashbox Fresca Always On Cream To Matte Lipstick | Review
Hi Darlings, today's post is going to be the review and swatch of the Smashbox Always On Cream To Matte Lipstick in the shade Fresca. You know how I feel about matte lipsticks but I have to be practical and matte lipsticks are easier to wear under a mask because they don't rub all over it. The other day I was at Douglas (my former work place) and I remembered these lipstick being quite cool so I decided to pick a couple of shades to review. You can get them from Sephora for 24$ and it comes in 40 shades. ...
Best Powders For Oily & Dry Skin
Hi Darlings, in today's post we are going to talk about the Best Powders For Oily & Dry Skin. Now, I know what you are thinking, how can a powder work on both OILY and DRY skin? Because the powders I use don't dry your skin out nor they make you oily, I can use these both in Summer and in Winter, when my skin changes according to season. That being said they work differently so I'm going to specify who should use them. I tend to be very specific about my powders because once I buy one I tend to use until I run out. I also always use loose powders because I like to bake my concealer so it lasts all day. I use compact powders only to carry around but I barely use mine unless is ...
Cranberry Smokey Eye #MakeupMonday
Hi Darlings, in today's #MakeupMonday I'm going to share with you this Cranberry Smokey Eye. I don't really have an explanation for this look other than "I was in the mood to play with colours and I wanted to do a dramatic look". So I turned on my audiobook and let my creativity flow. I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out, it's definitely more makeup than what I normally wear but I don't mind it. The bun is inspired by my girl Jackie Wyers latest tutorial, it's such a pretty way to remove the hair from my face and it was so easy to do, like, if I can do it, you can do it and it looks so chic! ...
Essence High Beauty Hydrating Face Primer | Review
Hi Darlings, today's post is going to be the review and swatch of the Essence High Beauty Hydrating Face Primer. Last product I've picked up from the Essence High Beauty line, I'll repeat with I said in previous posts: this line contains hemp seed oil which basically is manufactured from varieties of Cannabis but doesn't contain significant amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive element present in the cannabis plant. The oil contains omega 3, omega 6 and linoleic acid that stimulate elastin which makes the skin more beautiful, healthy and elastic. I've never smoked because I'm prone to addiction so I avoid it, but no judgment if you do, the ...

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Luxury Palette | Review
Hi Darlings, today's post is going to be the review and swatch of the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Luxury Palette. If you saw my What's In My Sephora Dream Cart you'd know how much I wanted to try Charlotte Tilbury's makeup and it just launched at Sephora Italy, so OF COURSE I had to pick something and I've started with the product I wanted the most, the Pillow Talk palette. I know this palette is nothing original but the shades in it are my kind of tones, I've been using it so much and I love the natural vibe it has. Sometimes you just have to treat yourself. You can buy it from sephora for 53$. ...
Best Concealers for Dark Circles and Acne
Hi Darlings, in today's post we are going to talk about the Best Concealers for Dark Circles and Acne. Concealer is a must for me even more than foundation and let's be real unless you don't have severe acne you are like me and you use the same one on both blemishes and dark circles. So most of these can do both. I usually get my concealer a shade lighter than my skin tone because I like to brighten up the undereye area but once I put it on my face under other makeup products it will work perfectly there too. Are you ready to find you my favourite concealers for dark circles and acne? ...
