Hey Guys, It's time for my second favourites of the year! I Cannot believe we are half way through the year already! This favourite's is crammed full of make up and beauty products, it's my birthday in May I received lots of amazing products! So let's jump straight in and see what made the cut! My favourite is probably one of the less exciting in terms of new make up but its a staple item that everyone needs in their kit and that's Fenty's setting powder Fenty's Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Setting Power retails for £24 and is available from both Boots & Harvey Nichols I love that just like most products in Rihanna's line its all inclusive with 8 different shades of setting powder. This set's my make up like no other powder I have used, gives a beautiful natural brightening look for under the eyes while keeping it looking perfect for the whole day. I will be doing a full review on this in the next few weeks! My second favourite on the list is another Fenty product, their bronzer! I was lucky enough to have this as a gift from my best friend & I am completely in love. I went for the shade "Shady Biz" as I like it to add a little depth to my skin and warm my skin tone up without it looking muddy or too harsh. This is available again at both Boots & Harvey Nichols. This bronzer applies beautifully, the pigmentation is insane and lasts all day! For my full review click here! Third on my list is Smasbox's latest collab with The Hood Witch. The Cystalized highlighter in the shade Opti-Mystic. This highlighter gives the most gorgeous glow. It applies so smoothly without showing any texture up, almost looks like a second skin & just lays perfectly. This shade is a little different for me as I don't often go towards the pink highlights but I am so glad I got it as a gift for my birthday. If you'd like a full review on this item leave me a comment below or head o over to my Instagram. Next up on my list one of my favourite hair care brands OGX. Their Orchid Color Protect Oil. This spray is available from Superdrug, Boots & Amazon. I love this spray! I love that this protect your hair from harsh UVA/UVB rays, it helps to protect your hair colour, gives you a beautiful shine and helps keep your hair hydrated. Although this is a oil it isn't heavy, it doesn't weigh your hair down or make the hair greasy. You just need to be sure to spray a good distance away from the hair and the mister itself sprays nice and evenly. Highly recommend this product to help keep your hair looking salon fresh! This next item is probably my most used item of the month make up wise, just because I have loved creating different eye looks with this palette! The Colourpop Brown Sugar Palette which retails for $12 around £9 It has 9 beautiful nude to brown shades. All super pigmented, the quality is what you expect for luxury brands. It is so easy to work with and such a dream to work with. I can see me hitting pan on these shadows they are that good! Highly recommend trying out their palettes, they are so affordable and the quality is outstanding. See below for the look I created at the weekend using this palette. Next up we have Pixi's Rose Tonic. I recently grabbed this while it was one sale at Boots but its available at several different stores. I'm so glad that I grabbed this, I much prefer this toner to the other Pixi toners I have tried in the past. This isn't too strong, it doesn't strip away my natural oils or irritate my sensitive skin at all.. It doesn't dry the skin out like previous toners and it smells gorgeous! Highly recommend if your looking for a new toner and you have sensitive skin.. Next is another hair care product, this time by MAUI Moisture. I have tried 2 of their hair masks over the last few months both the Revive & Hydrate Shea Butter Hair Mask and the Strength & Anti Breakage Agave Hair Mask. Both of these masks are amazing. I love to use a mask every other hair wash, it helps to keep it looking and feeling fresh, hydrated and silky soft! They smell amazing and last on the hair for days! Coming to the end of the list we have Bath and Soaps UK. I absolutely love their products! I was kindly gifted some items in May and have absolutely loved trying their products out especially their artisan soaps. They smell amazing and they're so gentle on sensitive skin! Be sure to use code KL10 for 10% site wide! The last item of my favourites is a face mask which I was bought for my birthday by my bestie. The Aladdin peel of glitter mask. Available from Primark. I was excited to get this because I am such a huge Disney fan and Aladdin has always been my favourite! But when I tried this out and it actually worked I was happily surprised. It peels off all in one go which is a rarity for peel off masks. It does pull all your little hairs out so did make my eyes water a little but my skin afterwards felt so smooth, felt clean and brightened. It's so affordable and it works, so I highly recommending grabbing some Primark masks and giving them a go! Plus the packaging is beautiful! There you have my latest beauty favourites. Products I have been loving the last few months! I still have lots of new products to try out and there is always new launches so be sure to keep an eye out in September for my next favourites post! Be sure to let me know what products you've been loving down in the comments! Until Next Time,

Hey Guys, Today's post was inspired by SLMissglam , who is the sweetest young lady you'll meet. I absolutely love her content & while I was watching her most recent Fashion Friday video (Check it out here)where she talks about 5 purchases she now regrets and it made me think about all the make up I purchase and what, if any was a disappointment. Which led me to this list, so let's jump in and see what products I wish I hadn't bothered with! 1. Dior Rouge Liquid Lipstick - 515 Scandalous Metal - £30 This regret is completely my own fault.While attending a Dior Masterclass last year I got carried away buying products and loved the bronzed deep metallic shade. However 18 months later and I haven't used it once! It really is a beautiful formula, it sits nicely on the lips, the formula isn't drying and I would 100% recommend the actual lipstick. I think it's time this went into the bin! 2. Nars Man Ray Highlighter - Christmas 2017 When I saw this highlighter last Christmas I knew I had to add it to the collection. It looked absolutely beautiful! So when I opened it on Christmas day I was so excited, off I went to do my Christmas day make up, (everybody does this right?!) My god was I disappointed! It gives you hardly any payoff, it doesn't show up on the skin at all, I had to really layer up and even then it gave me a barely there highlight, not the look I like! 3. Morphe 39A Dare To Create Artistry Palette - £35 This palette looks amazing at first glance , a neutral dream, with different colour stories to create endless looks. I just do not reach for it, It's a chunky palette so it isn't a travel friendly palette. The formula is just "Ok" it doesn't blow me away. Compared to other palettes the quality just isn't up there for me. Il definitely be donating this too a friend or family. 4. Urban Decay All Nighter Concealer - £20 I was out of concealer and so I grabbed this one & I wish I hadn't, This concealer is thick, I mean really thick. It covers really well but my gosh you can barely move your face with this product. It settles in fine lines and really shows them up, it creases under the eye and oxidises really badly! 5. Artist Couture Diamond Glow - Coco Bling - £21 Every time you see this highlighter on people online they are absolutely glowing to the gods, it looks like the perfect highlighter.. So when Beauty Bay started to stock the brand I was so excited. Before I even applied it my god did it get me in a mess. It applies nicely but it is so chunky with glitter and doesn't really look like a highlighter but rather a glitter pot. If you try to work it in it just disperses and your left with nothing on the skin. I don't recommend this highlighter at all. I hope you've enjoyed this post which was inspired by SL Miss Glam. I think I could of found more products that would of been added but these are the most disappointing products I own. Do you have any make up regrets? Let me know down below!

♡ Dior Masterclass ♡ Disappointing Highlighters ♡ Marc Jacobs Highlighter Review Hey Guys, Today's post is all about a wonderful little company called Bath & Soaps. They reached out to me asking I would like to try some of their products in exchange for a honest review 7 I jumped at the chance, because who doesn't love to have a luxurious and relaxing bath? I had such a hard time deciding which products I wanted to try as they have such a large variety of inviting products from artisan soaps to bath soufflé's. This brand has been built up by a lovely couple who are both healthcare professionals that have a brand built up by themselves to give their customers "a time out". I don't know about you, but I love it when you know your supporting small businesses and companies, that work hard and you can tell that there is a real love & passion for what they do. So let's jump into the review! Double Butter Luxury Soap - Herbaceous Oil - £4.50 I was so excited for this one as it included Shea and Cocoa butter. and it did not disappoint. I think this was my favourite item that I received. I have sensitive skin and this was so gentle on my skin, not only did it cleanse gently but it left my skin feeling soft, nourished and really moisturised. I highly recommend this product not only because it's a gorgeous product but it would be amazing for those that have sensitive skin. Shea Butter Soufflé Oriental Musk - £2.55 This soufflé was a really good size and dissolved nicely,it took a while but it fully broke down without leaving the bath gritty and uncomfortable. It really did relax me, My skin felt amazing after my bath, the scent was gorgeous and was really long lasting.. I would definitely repurchase this item! Shea Butter Olive Oil Artisan Soap Slice £4.45 This is another beautiful artisan soap. My skin felt amazing after using this, so soft! It didn't aggravate my sensitive skin, it really helped with any dry areas that I had. The properties for this are amazing, it claims to help prevent ageing skin and wrinkles, prevents desquamation, improves elasticity and soothes skin, sounds like the perfect allrounder for me! Definitely another product that I will be purchasing! Sleepy Head Bath Bomb With Bath Salts - £2.85 This bath bomb is a great size and the first thing I noticed was the scent - it was amazing. It gave a great fizz and doesn't leave that horrible gritty feeling that so many do. I felt very relaxed after having my bath and definitely put me in a good head space for going to bed. All in all this company has so many gorgeous handmade products at such a reasonable price with the quality to rival Lush! ( Don't get me wrong I like Lush products but I would much rather support a family ran company like this one! ) I will definitely be making regular purchases from them to keep stocked up plus there are so many more products I need to try! Be sure to visit their website, have a look around and make a few purchases to support such a lovely couple! If you do make a purchase be sure to use my discount code; KL10 for 10% off the whole website. Until Next Time, Hey Guys, Today's review is on one of the newer bronzers to hit the market, Fenty Beauty's Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer in the shade Shady Biz I was luckily enough to be given this for my birthday from my bestie, Bronzers was one thing I was lacking within my vast collection of make up. Available at both Harvey Nichols and now Boots, retailing for £23. Firstly I love the packaging! Like other powder products it has an octagonal shape. This has a gorgeous copper mirrored shade. There's a good quality mirror on the inside and all in all it feels solid and of nice quality. This bronzer comes in 8 different shades, that's right 8! Just like her foundations and concealers Rihanna has paved the way for bronzers to more inclusive. It means that it's no longer a one size fits all, it now caters too those with very fair skin and those with deeper tones. I'm lucky enough that quite a few would work with my olive skin tone but I went for Shady Biz as I like my bronzer to just warm my skin tone a little, I don't like anything to harsh or noticeable. No one wants to look like they've rubbed mud on their face! I am loving this bronzer! It has great pigmentation ( so again like the Aladdin x Mac Collection go in with a gentle hand until you're used to the product. ) Going in with a lighter hand you can still build it up nicely to go deeper, without it looking cakey. It performs so well, it blends into the skin beautifully, it applies smoothly. It lasts on the skin all day, looking beautiful throughout the day. You don't get kick up from the pan which is a plus. It is a matte formula which I prefer and think is best when you are buying a bronzer. There is no scent to the formula either which again is another plus. My final thoughts; I give it a full 10/10. This is a real contender for my favourite bronzer tried EVER. The pigmentation, the formula and the way it performs are just all perfect for me. I highly rate the Fenty Bronzer and would recommend it too anyone who was looking for a new matte bronzer. The look below was using the bronzer too warm the face. Natural but effective. Until Next Time,
