♡ July Newbies ♡


July has been a scorcher - and we should not complain! Amongst all the heat, here are the new products I have been enjoying this month!

W7 Life's a Beach Palette 
I love a good eyeshadow palette and this packaging gave me allll the summer vibes! Does you not think it also looks like the start of Love Island?! ... Maybe that is just me! The palette comes in the same style as the others in the smooth packaging and contains 12 shades with some pops of colour. The only issue I have with this palette is that there is only 3 matte shades which can make it hard to transition colours in the crease. But it has an array of browns/ bronzes to create the perfect smokey eye with some shimmery shades on top. I am a big fan!

Estée Lauder Day Wear Moisturiser
I love the fresh feeling and smell of this moisturiser! Yes, it is a bit pricey - but it lasts allll day and creates a good base for your make up. I have been using this more regularly as I just find it smells like cucumbers and contains SPF15 which is perfect in this heatwave.

Percy & Reed No Oil Hair Oil
I received this in my July BirchBox and I have used it literally every day since! It smells amazing and leaves your hair feeling super soft and looking shiny! I am a sucker for a hair oil and this one I will be buying in full size!

Revolution Pro Setting Spray 
This claims to have 'extreme hold' and this is why I bought it as my face has melted for most of this month! I really like this spray. It is more of a soft 'spritz' than a spray which is amazing as you don't feel like it just squirts in one place when you spray it and it feels light on the skin without weighing it down. It lasts well on the skin and keeps your make up in place all day - think of hairspray but for your face! And it is a bargain at about £6! Win.

Laritzy Contour Stick
I received this in my BirchBox, too and I wasn't overly a convert for cream contour... But as it has been so warm and I have been enjoying a more glowy look to my skin I gave it a go! It is soooo creamy and blends like an absolute dream! It is a little dark so a little goes a long way (unless you have a darker complexion than me - which is most people!) But I really recommend trying this is product if you haven't cream contoured before!

Olay BB Cream
I have written a whole post on this - so make sure you check that out! But it is a July newbie and I have been using it pretty much every day to make my skin look natural but still as if it has a filter.


Have you ever used any of these products? What have you been using that's new to you this month?

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...
