♡ Revolution Pro - New Neutrals Palette ♡ Seriously though ... how could I walk past this beaut in Superdrug and NOT pick it up to have a good old feel?! This packaging caught my eye originally ... I am a magpie for anything gold / sparkly / leopard print so this had me completely sold !!  It has Huda-esque vibes... following the same colour scheme and with the same idea of pressed foils & glitters but for £12 instead of £50ish. I am all for a dupe and with it being Revolution you know you are going to get decent quality. There is a mix of gorgeous, blendable mattes, foils and 3 pressed glitters which perform really well on top of the cream ‘base’ shade or over other shadows. For my first look with this, I worked my way through the pinks - delight, whisper, karma - and mauves - rumour and zoned in the crease to build up a soft blend using the darkest purple - magestic - on the outer edge. I then applied the base cream and the beautiful pressed gli...

♡ Make Up Revolution x Rachel Leary ♡ "Goddess on the Go" Okay, so when I first saw on Rachel's Instagram that she was releasing palettes with Revolution I was like 'aaaaaggghhh'!! *insert Home alone shocked face here*... She is one of my favourite YouTubers in being so funny, normal and down to earth and I love how her make up always looks so effortless but STUNNING & she always looks so  glowwwy! So you just knew she was going to release an incredible palette...  Plus Revolution is one of my favourite make up brands - they are such an all-rounder when it comes to price, pigment and longeivity! You knew it was going to be a good one ♡ Cue this badboy!! Rachel did release 2 palettes infact, "Goddess on the go" (above) and "Ultimate Goddess" which is HUGE & equally as gorgeous. I opted for the smaller of the 2 as I just wanted to give this one a go & I thought i'll get the bigger one (next payday!) If I liked thi...

♡ Glowy, Summery Skin ♡ Summer skin is my absolute favourite!

2019...  Hey, what’s up, hello 👋🏼  Firstly.... Hi! Apologies for the lack of posts ... it has been a whirlwind of a year! Life has been so crazy but I am making a real conscious effort to get back on this game now & channel some positive energy back into my blog ✏️ 2019 has been shaping up quite nicely for me & I can’t wait to share more of it on here 😍 Please let me know of any posts you would like to see from me ... I am always open to suggestions 😊💛 but for now it is a hi & see you very soon with some (finally) exciting content! Lots of love EP 💕

What's In It For Me .. ? If you follow me on Instagram .. (if you don't - why not?! - kidding!) Then you will already have seen that the wonderful people at 'What's In It For Me' very kindly sent me a couple of their LUSH products to try and test to blog about. I am such a huge fan of these, as they not only promote self-care and self-love but they are just really, REALLY good products. The packaging is classic and simple, but also kinda boujée in that the tubs both had the little lids on them that  you need to peel off before you get in to them - and I like that! It felt expensive and luxurious. Right off the bat, I had already given the body scrub a wee go as I received a tester sized sample in my July Birchbox and I already knew I loved it! So I was so grateful to be sent the full-sized product! What's In It For Me can be found online at Harvey Nichols and Fragrance Direct  .. So you know you are getting a luxury product when Harvey Nick...

♡ 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 sm...

BB Creams ♡ yay or nay? I am a self confessed foundation LOVER! But this summer has been a haaaawt one so far (not that I am complaining... although working in it has been hard work!) and I have found that my face just slips and slides around and I am always conscious of it melting! I am a lover of primers and setting sprays, too but some days even  they aren't enough to make your foundation last in 30 degree heat! And that is why I switched my make up routine up a bit this year and started to use BB creams... I have never really used BB creams before and was a bit sceptical when my mum referred to it as a 'tinted moisturiser' thinking ...oh gosh! It might be even worse! But actually... I was proved wrong! And here is why. Olay Total Effects SPF 15 BB Cream Olay is an absolute classic when it comes to skin-care meets make up. It is the ultimate Power Woman brand and this is why I was drawn to this particular BB Cream. Plus I am 26 now and I am determined t...
