Weekday heroes to beat the back-to-work blues!


I'm a bit behind writing this... but everyone needs a pick-me-up after Christmas to get back in to the working routine and to get us through the cold mornings/ evenings/ life... Or at least I know I do!

These were the pretty items getting me through the first 2 weeks of being back at work... the item's making me look less of a walking zombie and also the little things that just made me smile throughout the week.

Make-up wise .. the Maybelline Instant eye eraser is my go-to for my under eyes to keep them looking fresh for the early mornings. & for blush and highlight I have been loving the Sleek Cosmetics palettes! They are really pigmented and pretty and have enough colour choice in each for a different look each day. I am going to keep trying more of these as I am super impressed with this brand so far!

I received Fearne Cotton's "Happy Journal" from one of my best friend's as a Christmas gift and I can honestly say it was one of the most thoughtful presents I received. It has lots of lovely, inspiring quotes throughout and a small section for each day of the year to jot down your thoughts and clear your mind. As someone who struggles with anxiety, this is a perfect way for me to squiggle anything down to remind me how I felt on that day. I love to look back through the year and see what I wrote as I used to keep journals years ago! It's taking me back to my childhood. I would definitely recommend!

Is there any go-to products for you for your week to week regime? Is there anything I need to try?! Let me know!

Lots of love EP 💕

💖 January 2018 Favourite Products 💖 January, January... What a long month you were! I can honestly say I am glad to see the back of you (sorry any January babies!) and I always welcome a new month with open arms - new goals, fresh mindset - we are coming for you! Here are a few of the products I have been using religiously throughout January and some I really recommend for you guys to try! Sleek Cosmetics Blush Palette in Californ.I.A This palette is super affordable and it has a shimmer orangey toned shade and two matte shades, one being pinkier and one being more orange.  I tend to mix the two matte shades and apply them to the apples of my cheeks. It is suuuuper pigmented so you don't need much at all but it is lovely and soft and perfect for every day.  Sleek Cosmetics Contour Kit in Light I picked this up purely because of how dinky the packaging is and I thought it would be a perfect handbag product but I have used it pretty much eve...

❤ My Go-To Look ❤ Everybody has a go-to look that we reach for when we don't want to take any risks, we use products that we trust and recreate a look over and over knowing it is flattering and looks good for all occasions. I put a poll on my Instagram and this is the look you wanted to see... So here are my go-to products, why I choose them and how I create my go-to look which is.....  this! How to achieve:  Prep Simple Daily Moisturiser. I always always start with a good moisturiser. I like this one because it lasts for 12 hours and it sinks in to the skin and lasts all day. Kiehl's Reviving Daily Concentrate. My absolute go- to before make up! Smashbox Photo finish Primer. This is my current favourite primer. I used it a while ago and when I ran out I never replaced it but now I have it again I am in love all over again. I find the foundation really clings to it and lasts for hours. Face Estée Lauder Double Wear in Desert...

L'Oreal Pro Glow Foundation ♡

Testing: L'Oreal Infallible Pro Glow Foundation ♡ I LOVE a good foundation review... and this week I have been testing out the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro Glow Foundation. First of all... I have tried ALL of the L'Oreal Infallible range! I have used the 24 hour foundation (in the bottle) in 'Vanilla' for over a year and I really love the consistency and the finish as it is satin to demi-matte and lasts all day!  I have also tried the 24Hour Total Cover (the thicker one) and I am on the fence with it... It has SUPER thick coverage and is between a liquid and mousse consistency... so it depends how you like the feel of that on your skin as it is quite heavy...  But if you love a good coverage that literally doesn't budge - this may be worth a try for you! However, I am not a fan of the 24Hour Matte one (in the squeezy tube) as I feel it is too dry for my already dry-ish skin. I think I just prefer a glowy finish ...  And that is where Pro G...
