Easy as 1, 2, 3; trying the Huda Beauty 3-step Easy routine...


For the most blurred complexion, follow the 1, 2, 3 EASY ROUTINE!

Step 1: Prime with the Easy Blur Primer. Huda recommends using two fingers length worth of product.

Step 2: Apply Easy Blur Foundation and blend & buff into the skin.

Step 3: Set with the Easy Bake Loose Setting & Baking Powder for the ultimate airbrushed finish.

 

The primer is water-based and the matching foundation is oil-based, so it just floats over pores and fine lines as oil and water don't mix. Setting the foundation with powder is a Important step due to combining oil & water.

I got everything a fortnight ago and have been wearing them every day; I have very skin and was very sceptical about a routine involving a matte primer & non-skippable setting powder working for me, but I have large pores that are looking worse because of medication, so I went and bought the 3 products anyway the last time I went to the Trafford Centre...

Purple reign: NYX Buttermelt Blush in All The Butta...


You're about to get a rush with this flush of blush. Meet our new buttermelt blush. Buttery blush that blends like powder & glides like butta! Transfer & fade resistant. Get your blush crushin' for up to 12H of wear.

Butta blush. Butta boom! Buttermelt blush comes in 12 pigmented, buttalicious shades that blends like powder & glide like butta. Infused with mango butter, almond butter, & shea butter, it doesn't get any butta than this. Fade & transfer resistant. Up to 12 hours of wear. Vegan and cruelty free. No animal-derived ingredients or by products.


I wanted to try something slightly different for me as we enter a new season because I feel as though my general makeup look has become very samey since I now go for simaliar shades/tones in everything, so I decided to give a purple toned blush a try to be different but not too different... 

I've heard nothing but good things about the NYX Buttermelt blushes and saw that they have a pinky purple tone in the line-up, so my search for the perfect blush to get was very short.

Does it shine like a star? [reviewing Far Away Shine edp, by Avon]

 FREE YOUR EXTRAORDINARY

Light up the world with exotic Ispahan roses to make your inner sparkle your outer shine.

This oriental and gourmand scent is expertly crafted around Ispahan rose, an ancient and exotic Persian bloom used in beauty for over 2,000 years and celebrated by women as a symbol of inner illumination.

I hadn't known that a new Far Away flanker was coming until I saw it being advertised in a catalogue, with it only being announced on various fragrance websites afterwards. 

Anyway; I ordered it as soon as I saw it being advertised since there hasn't been a single Far Away flanker that I've outright disliked, so it seemed like a sure thing that I'd enjoy this one too. I've now had it for a couple of weeks and have been wearing it every day for that  time, so I now will ready to share my thoughts on it.
