OLE HENRIKSON TRUTH SERUM COLLAGEN BOOSTER REVIEW


I received the Ole Henrikson Truth Serum Collagen Booster in my February Birchbox, which I started using immediately. The serum contains Vitamin C which helps reduce wrinkles and penetrates deep into the skin. I have fine lines around my eyes, especially one that makes my concealer crease all the time.

ASYMMETRICAL LAYERS + RIPPED JEANS

H&M CARDIGAN | MISSGUIDED WRAP TOP | ASOS RIPPED JEANS | TOPSHOP BOOTS | MICHAEL KORS BAG | QUAY AUSTRALIA SUNGLASSES
I am currently loving long-line and asymmetrical tops layered together, it's great for those warm but breezy days. Right now, it's the day before my sister's wedding so I should be pampering myself with a face-mask on right now or panicking because we have so much to do.

MY IN-FLIGHT SKINCARE

Right now while your reading this, I have arrived in Hong Kong. I love wearing make-up therefore looking after my skin up in the air is essential. My skin becomes extremely dehydrated because of the cabin pressure not to mention how tired my skin becomes due to a lack of sleep. I've shared my 10 Step Skincare Routine and I now share a few products that I've took on this long haul flight to follow up.

ROAM THE 90'S

NEW LOOK JACKET | NEW LOOK TOP | ASOS JEANS | ADIDAS STAN SMITH TRAINERS | ASOS BACKPACK | QUAY SUNGLASSES
Do you feel like your releasing your alter ego when you wear or do certain things? When I pull up my hair I feel this way, especially since I have such an oval flat face (contour and bronzer is my saviour). I have been lusting after this Pink Longline Bomber Jacket from New Look, it has a satin finish which makes it stand out from your khaki and black ones. I think this colour is ideal for the spring/summer.

MY TAKE: MILANI CONCEAL + PERFECT 2 IN 1 FOUNDATION + CONCEALER REVIEW


This is the much hyped about Milani Conceal + Perfect 2 in 1 Foundation which retails for £9.99. It is available in 14 shades and claims to be medium to full coverage, light-weight with an oil-free formula, long-wearing, water resistant and sweat-proof. The product had a pump which allows to easily control the amount of product you apply. It is in a glass bottle and has a slight gradient effect which allows you to see how much product you have left in the bottle.

CAN'T GO WRONG WITH MONOCHROME

Finally, on days that I have been off, the sun has been going strong and I have been enjoying giving my pastey white legs some light. I've currently been struggling to get my holiday things together because simply I don't know what to pack and I don't want to start. I'm probably going to be running around like a headless chicken next week grabbing last minute items.

MAY BIRCHBOX


Birchbox never disappoints. I was introduced to Spectrum Collection back in February and I know own two sets of their brushes - the 10 piece essential and the 8 piece eye essential set. This month I received another Spectrum Collections item; Unicorn Tears Wonder Sponge. I  had the option to select which colour I would like; lilac or pink. I already own the Beauty Blender, - so to not get them mixed up I selected lilac. I received 5 other products this month.

10 STEP SKIN CARE ROUTINE

The other day I read a blog post about a 10 step skin care routine which Koreans use to help with their skin in the future, so I looked into what products and steps I undertake to prolong my skin from ageing, my vision of what I want my skin to be and the products and steps that help with my occasional monthly breakout. When I look into it, it looks quite extensive, but I have been slowly working out what my skin needs and switch up products if I have an outbreak or skin change. The last time I haven't removed my makeup was in my 1st year of university and that was 5 years ago. I can not forgive myself if I don't remove my makeup at the end of the night because I have oily combination skin, so it will effect my skin later on. No matter if I'm too tired or busy, I take off my make-up. There's nothing worse than sleeping in a layer of dirt.

THE STROLL

 Photo taking 101 -always finish the soft mint that you were scrumptiously chewing through, I can't count how many funny facials expression I pulled and I had to cut from this shoot. I wore this outfit on a extremely beautiful lazy Sunday in Huddersfield which started with a full English breakfast and ended with a Mexican takeaway - talk about binge eating.

UK L'ORÉAL PARIS NUDE MAGIQUE CUSHION FOUNDATION + FIRST IMPRESSIONS


Loréal Paris has finally released the cushion foundation in the UK. The Lumi Cushion foundation have been available in the US for a very long time. I have seen so many reviews on YouTube. This product is in high demands and I believe once again the UK is the last place to launch. The name is different, like many of the other Loréal Paris Products compared to US releases, but I believe the Lumi cushion/ Nude cushion is exactly the same thing. Why confuse us? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

APRIL FAVOURITES

APRIL FAVOURITES
April has whizzed by so fast! It won't be long until I go to Hong Kong for my sister's wedding, see my new niece and be reunited with my best friend and then travel to Korea for a couple of days. It's going to be a crazy May - which I am really excited about. I like to rotate my make-up around since I like to use a bit of everything and I've reorganised my vanity table, so my favourites are easily accessible.
