  • Are you flying off anywhere soon? ✈️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yesterday I was invited to @bobbibrownuk’s launch of their #BeautyWellTraveled collection; 3 palettes (London, New York & Seoul) available only in duty free airports! I swatched the London palette and used it today: Malted (matte) on my bottom lashline gives soft definition under my eyes for my skintone, Mayfair Mauve (matte) is another great shade to add more depth and Piccadilly Plum (shimmer) is pigmented and lush for this time of year, I smudged it along my lashline and it looked so good I feel like I need to show on my stories when I have time! I even used the blush even though I would have preferred a bronzer in this palette personally. The lipstick shade in this palette is Neutral Rose and thankfully suits my skin and lip tone too so I’m happy! Do you like all in one palettes like this for travelling? #adgifted #bobbibrown #confidentbeauty

  • #AD | Do you feel you struggle with the relationship between your skin and well-being? Since being an #AveenoAmbassador, I’ve learned that eczema is one of the world’s most common skin conditions that so many people struggle with, particularly their relationship between the skin and well-being. I feel like I learned the importance of taking time out to breathe and allow myself some “me-time”, but also try and get my son to breathe deeply when he’s getting annoyed by things, in the hope it can help balance the relationship between his skin and well-being. @aveenouk have helped me learn that both are so closely linked and overlooked, as we’re often too busy to take care of ourselves or think about how it can affect children too, so I think it’s important to reflect on this and hope you guys can too with these posts! #NationalEczemaWeek #WellnessPioneer

  • Let’s talk anti-fatigue! ~~~~~~~~~~~ What do you do to make yourself look awake? By now you probably know I love anything anti-fatigue because I’m forever feeling tired, but when I came across the Givenchy spray I thought I’d give it a try and see how it goes. It’s an innovative cream-in-mist that has a fresh glowy sheen to it (see my stories).. it’s handy for carrying around and topping up if you’re feeling dry/your makeup has gone dull and also smells like a fragrance!! Because I love it so much, I’ve asked if I can give one of these away and will be picking someone at random from the comments 👀 Make sure you’re following @givenchybeauty (and me) for your chance to win, I will contact the winner via DM 💗 #adgifted #givenchybeauty #antifatigue

  • #AD | Do you feel your skin is different when you’re stressed? In our most recent training session (and retreat) at the Cotswolds with @aveenouk, we learned about stress and how it affects our bodies and of course skin. In terms of my skin I notice I break out a little when I’m stressed; my internal stress symptoms can be mouth ulcers or a faster heartbeat, which isn’t that often but I just know then I need to breathe deeply and calm myself. In our last #AveenoAmbassador session we had to identify our stress triggers and for me it’s when I feel like I have a mountain of work to do and still have to carry on with raising my son alone without him feeling my stress or burdens! I am definitely going to be using the information we learned to try and keep on top of things and will be sharing them soon. Have you identified your stress triggers? #WellnessPioneer

  • Kids back to school, what did you do on their first day?! 🤣 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I happened to be invited by @esteelauderuk for this amazing custom lipstick making service they have at the moment at @theofficialselfridges Oxford Street (only until October 13th!). As you guys should know by now, my lips are pigmented and I struggle to find the perfect nude so I jumped at this opportunity to make my own blend and I brought along one of my fave shades as reference: Too Faced Sell Out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The service is £81 and includes: • your custom blend lipstick + 2 refills so you don’t despair if you use it all up! • engraving including a logo, monogram or text (obvs I went with text - my name) • a special navy case to house your personalised lipstick and refills (and a cute lip design box) ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Watch my stories for the whole process as I found it fascinating and fun.. would be such a lovely gift to give to someone who appreciates full personalisation and maybe is a bit picky to buy for?! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, my school/uni side was geeking out a bit 🤓 #LipsToEnvy #adgifted

  • Wedding Season done ✅ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ How many weddings did you attend this Summer? I was planning on doing another challenge like the #DesiDecemberChallenge, but things have been so hectic this Summer so I’ll try do something for December again! Here’s a look I did for the challenge using my fave @beccacosmetics highlighter: Opal! Who remembers what other lip colour I wore with this look? 👀 #weddingseason #desimakeup #BECCAglow #SafsGlowGang

  • Eye Spy... ~~~~~~~ What are your fave eye products? Out of the many things I’ve been sent/bought these are some of my more frequently used eye products: 1) @kiehlsuki Avocado Creamy Eye Treatment- I love using this at night before bed as I like how nourishing and hydrating it feels. 2) @deciem ordinary Caffeine Solution- caffeine products are supposed to be good for dark circles so I’ve used this up and I’m not sure if it actually helps lessen them but possibly could help prevent them getting much worse? 3) @lameruk The Eye Balm Intense- by far the most expensive eye product here but I love how cooling and hydrating it feels and actually use the applicator with the metal tip to apply my other products too sometimes as it feels so good! 4) @beccacosmetics Brightening Under Eye Correctors- I wish there was an in between shade of both of these as both combined gives me my perf shade for correcting under my eyes! It’s super thick and shiny so a little goes a looong way but the correcting and light reflecting effect is 👌🏽 5) @esteelauderuk Double Wear Correcting Duo (Apricot)- I don’t use correctors much tbh because most are too orange and it’s just an extra step I don’t have time for but if my circles are looking especially prominent I’ll use this one as I love the shade best (they have quite a few shades I’ve swatched before on IG) 6) @originsuk GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream- my everyday morning staple to help light reflect away the look of these dark circles! Also contains caffeine 👌🏽 7) @beccacosmetics Anti Fatigue Under Eye Primer- feels a bit tingly under the eyes like eye drops for my under eyes but I only use this in summer as I find the formula can be too drying to use in winter; helps smooth out the under eyes though! 8) @cliniqueuk Moisture Surge Eye Concentrate (not pictured!)- I’ve been loving using this sometimes alone sometimes mixed with my GinZing as I feel like it’s so lightweight and absorbed fast and I notice concealer doesn’t crease as much when worn under! ~~~~~~~ Do you see any favourites of yours here? #undereyecircles #undereyebags #safrecommends
