🍒 ~~~~~~~~~~ Swatches of the newest @urbandecaycosmetics Naked palette.. #NakedCherry. This palette is obviously more berry/red toned, the shadows are not as creamy or buttery as some of the other Naked palettes (more powdery), but all shadows are still pigmented. Personally I’m more disappointed they’re discontinuing the original Naked 1 palette because that was still my most used over any of the others (until Naked Heat was released). My fave shade in this palette is Ambitious, as it’s the most buttery shade and also reminds me of cherry cola 🤷🏻♀️ ~~~~~~~~~~ What shades should I create a look with? Let me know below ⬇️ #UDNakedCherry #UDNaked #UrbanDecay
🌿🍃🍂🍁 ~~~~~~~~~~ Hands up if you’re trying to enjoy the last of the sun before winter sets in for good? 🌝🙋🏻♀️ Throwback to a play date at the #royalbotanicgardens with @cydneytheflorist; plenty of photo opps here but also beautiful views that really help you get back in tune with nature (and teach children to too!) Please do share your fave spots or places you want to visit that help you appreciate nature more ⬇️
Turmeric Magic 💛 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A lot of you asked about the Turmeric mask I’ve put on my story recently that I bought from @superdrug for only £6.99! Turmeric is obviously a well known ingredient to most South Asians but also an ingredient I’m finding more in skincare recently, so I was interested to see how it works in a clay mask. Clay masks usually tend to deep clean and leave my skin feeling super dry but this one didn’t feel as drying as usual, nor did it leave a stain in case you’re wondering! It also contains Witch Hazel which is good for blemishes and is Vegan friendly.. the price was the selling point for me though 🙌🏽 As you guys know I’m an avid masker (especially on Sundays) so I’m happy to now have this added to my collection, let me know if you’ve tried it or anything from the @botanicallabuk range! #botanicallab #veganskincare #acneproneskin #ad
#MoistureMonday ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Almost wasn’t going to post this because I’m self conscious about my dark circles, but these days I just embrace the tired #mumlook, so why not share this makeup free but glowy after-facial face? Thanks to @cliniqueuk I got to experience a #moisturesurge facial and sauna experience at @glowbarldn - an insta worthy place with zen, feel-good vibes. Even though my time was limited before I had to rush off to pick my son, I love that the Glow Bar incorporate healthy drinks and bowls on their menu; I need to go again to try more things and defo for more time in the sauna! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What are your fave #selfcare treatments to have done? #glowbarlondon #instaworthyskin
#LuxeLip ~~~~~~~~~~ What’s your favourite finish when it comes to lips? @bobbibrownuk have added two new Liquid Lip finishes to their collection: High Shine and Velvet Matte. Even though I’m not much of a gloss girl, these High Shine Liquid Lips have an amazing colour pay off and are pretty comfortable/non sticky. My fave has to be the Velvet Matte Liquid Lip as it dries down to a comfortable matte finish and has better colour pay off than the Luxe Matte (bullet lipstick). The luxe matte does feel more lightweight than the velvet matte liquid lip though and doesn’t need time to dry down to a matte finish. ~~~~~~~~~~ Don’t forget to take advantage of my 20% off code (SAFIYAH) before it expires tonight if you need to top up on your fave Bobbi Brown products; let us know what your faves are here too! #bobbibrownuk #shadesofpink #safiyahsswatches
Your Vibe Attracts Your Tribe ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Had the best meet up yesterday with fellow single mums (thanks to @yasminealom). Even though we had a short time together (before we all had to rush back to pick our kids!), it really felt like we all just UNDERSTOOD and I love that feeling of supporting one another despite social stigmas. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nobody has a perfect life and if you have particular difficulties (health, relationships, kids etc) then I think it’s important to try and find people going through a similar thing or a support group, as it can help having someone understand exactly what you’re going through (without having to explain too much). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you’re wondering, the brunch food here at @drunch was delicious, it’s totally insta worthy as you can see and they also had a little cove downstairs where you can play video games which genuinely excited me lol 🎮 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tag someone you would like to have a brunch date with soon 👯♀️⬇️ #brunch #drunch #londonbrunchspots
#TakeTheDayOffChallenge ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As much as I enjoy putting makeup on, I equally enjoy taking it off at the end of the day, so I thought I’d take part in this @Clinique challenge so that some money can be donated to @bcrfcure. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I first used the #TakeTheDayOff lids, lashes & lips when I was around 15 (I used to secretly use my mums when I ran out as I got older!); I love the oil content in it, as it helps makeup slip right off 🙌🏽 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There’s also a the cleansing balm, milk and an oil in this range, which I think is amazing for different preferences of makeup removal! Which is your fave type of makeup remover? #makeupremover #oddlysatisfying
#UNCUFFED ✋🏽 ~~~~~~~~~ So here’s my lip swatch of @fentybeauty Uncuffed Stunna.. it’s sooo my kind of shade👌🏽 Also used the new @beccacosmetics goodies to create a look: • Volcano Goddess palette: Volcanic Sand, Granite, Red Rock, Gilded, Midnight Sapphire • Skin Love Weightless Blur foundation: Driftwood • Ultimate Coverage Longwear concealer: Sesame • Be A Light palette: Light to Medium • Opal liquid + powder ~~~~~~~~~ #BECCAVolcanoGoddess #BECCABeALight #stunna #stunnaweek #fentybeauty #rihgram #safiyahsswatches
#STUNNAWEEK - which is your fave new shade? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As soon as I heard there was going to be #STUNNA nude shades I was excited as I’ve been wanting it since my Uncensored review 👄 When I saw @fentybeauty slowly releasing these new shades this week I just had to get my hands on #Unveil and #Uncuffed as I figured they would be most popular for WOC and thankfully they were sent! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Uncuffed looked like my kind of pinky nude shade, but as you know with lip tones and skin tones things can look different on each of us, so I needed to see for myself. I was worried it would be too cool toned but I’m here to say Uncuffed is PERFECT! If you know me, you know @beautybakeriemakeup Syruptitious is my jammm (I literally wear it everyday) and Uncuffed is practically identical - I love it! The formula is still not completely transfer proof as it’s a non drying liquid lipstick but it’s definitely comfortable and long-wearing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let me know if you’ve picked up any shades or are liking the look of any 👀 #fentybeauty #fentystunna #stunnalippaint
