Getting cheeky: Fenty Beauty Fenty Cheeks Suede Powder Blush in Tahiti Teaze

 CHEEKS WORTH CLAPPIN’ FOR...

STRAIGHT UP:

A high-performance powder blush that delivers an impactful, but super blendable, flush of colour in a range of matte + shimmer shades for all skin tones. 

Airy-soft, waterproof, sweat-resistant + humidity-resistant.

THE LOWDOWN:

A bold, but airy-soft, blush with performance that demands a standing ovation. This pressed powder delivers high-impact pigment in just one swipe, then blends seamlessly for a diffused flush of colour. 

Don't worry about fallout or looking chalky—these stay in place, won’t cake. The curated, all-star shade lineup has matte + shimmer shades for all skin tones to flaunt. Cheers, claps and snaps to that.

I'm someone who suffers from blush blindness, so finding a subtle shade that I really like and wear often is something that is worth taking a closer look at...

Speedy Review: Lazy Dream edp, by GHOST.

Comforting & calming

 Lazy Dream is a floral gourmand fragrance that balances sweetness with freshness. Not just a fragrance but a full mood sensation. Calming yet energising soft yet confident it is a scent that feels like your aura elevated.

The composition is designed to feel calming yet energizing, modern and wearable without excessive sweetness.

I recently bought Peachy Dream and enjoy it a lot, so I have been researching the other two fragrances in the collection and today I'm taking you on a dive into the one which reads as the most appealing on in the new GHOST Dream trio. 

Rarely never?: Almost Always edp, by Khloè Kardashian.

"Almost Always is such a positive phrase... a really whimsical, beautiful, romantic phrase"

Why Almost Always?

Because perfection isn't the goal—your presence is. You don’t have to get it right every time. You don’t have to show up flawlessly to be worthy. Being almost always patient, focused, motivated, joyful... That’s already more than enough. Almost always means you care. It means you’re trying. It means you’re human.

You are not defined by the one time you couldn’t. You are shaped by the many times you did.

Almost always is enough. And so are you.

This deeply addictive, Floral Amber Woody fragrance is a reminder that you are worthy - and to always choose love in the moments that matter most.

I'm still fascinated by the way XO Khloè transforms on my skin during the 3 stages - it's as though I've applied different fragrances. So I've obviously been keeping an eye on the release schedule for her new fragrance, to get the chance to find out if it can stand tall next to it, or if it is something that is better best forgotten. 

Time to find out...

Speedy Review: Pink Sugar edt, by Aquolina.

An encounter between carefree and femininity.

As sweet as candy floss, as irresistible as creamy caramel, and as gourmand as delicious vanilla. That is the Aquolina Pink Sugar Eau de Toilette for women. Its composition will transport you instantly to a sweet shop filled with the most enticing treats that are impossible to resist. 

A delightful pink world accented by delicate sweet touches.

Today I'm finally getting around to writing a quick review for a fragrance that I've been repeatedly buying for a couple of decades now, because I recently ordered a new bottle which reminded me that I've never reviewed it before.

I first came across Pink Sugar on a trip to America around the launch year [2004], and since then I've regularly been sourcing bottles for sale in the UK. 

Speedy review; Peachy Dream edp, by GHOST

Juicy & Uplifting

Not just a fragrance but a full mood boost, golden peach and blooming jasmine flow together, grounded by a warm cedarwood heart that melts into the skin, soft yet energising, bright yet confident, it is a scent that feels like your aura elevated.

With fruity-gourmand fragrances taking over the market, Peachy Dream does not just join the trend but redefines it with a fresh, balanced twist that feels effortlessly modern and deeply uplifting.

Superdrug is currently selling the new GHOST fragrance for only £19 for a 50ml bottle and at a parfum concentration. Peachy Dream is actually one of three new fragrances from GHOST (Sweet Dream & Lasy Dream are the other two), but this is the only one at Superdrug at the minute.

I had been  repeatedly testing the new Khloè Kardashian fragrance and had gone into a Superdrug store to finally just buy a bottle, when I saw the offer for this. I immediately thought about my childhood memories of Avon's Sweet Peach line (aging myself here), so I impulsively bought a bottle alongside Almost Always. 

Fingers crossed for a positive outcome🤞
