June 19, 2017 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 42 Comments

I am a huge Rimmel London fan, right from my days at the University. I find Rimmel London makeup affordable and perfect for what I need them for. My friend and I were Rimmel London junkies in uni, that was one of the major makeup brands we used back then, and we still love it.

I had the golden opportunity to try out the new Rimmel London Insta Collection, I was blown away by how amazing the products.

These makeup products have filled a massive hole in my makeup bag. I have never had a duo contour stick or a concealer palette for EVERYTHING, and now I do! This Insta Collection is the TRUTH!

Beauty Muse – Demi Lovato

June 11, 2017 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , , 18 Comments

The beauty muse today is Demi Lovato. I have always admired this beautiful young woman, right from her childhood days on the Barney and Friends show. I think she is a force to reckoned with in the beauty world, and with her new skincare line, that is exactly what she is, a force to be reckoned with.

I love Demi Lovato’s features, her flawless skin, pretty eyes and cute smile are the features I admire the most. I think she is a natural beauty and she always looks amazingly good. I checked out her beauty evolution on Teen Vogue‘s website, and I can see her beauty has blossomed before our very eyes.

Here are some of Demi Lovato’s beauty/makeup secrets –

On makeup

“Whenever you want to feel a little dolled up, put on some makeup. What makes me feel great is making it look as natural as possible. I don’t like to wear a lot of foundation day to day. So NYC New York Colour Get-It-All Stick is really light, but it leaves you looking fresh and with good coverage.

I always do my brows, just because I think that’s important, and they shape your face. It’s nice to feel polished when you walk into work or something.”

 

On diet

“I noticed that when I eat unhealthily, I break out. It is true. It’s like when you’re being good to your body, and then you put something in it that it’s not used to. And it’s like, ‘Wait a minute — I need to get this out of me.’

“Also, another thing is fish oil. You can either eat fish or you can take fish oil pills. Those are really good for your skin because it has omega-3s in it.”

5 Essential Beauty Products to Take Camping

June 7, 2017 By in Beauty, Travel Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 46 Comments

Summer is around the corner (ignore the weather if it’s still windy at your end), and most people are starting to get in the holiday mood. Well, I know I am. I have started thinking of what to do with the family this summer holiday. We have never been camping as a family, and I have not gone camping in years now, so going camping is on the to-do list.

Because it has been so long, I would have to refresh my memory with a handy camping guide, so I know what to expect. I know for sure, a new large camping tent will be needed, and I know the exact one I think we would need – Urban Escape 4 Man Tunnel Tent by Halfords. We will likely be needing a new puffy camping blanket as well.

But apart from the tent, I had to look up what else we would be needing for a family with 2 kids under 4. The kids love the outdoors a lot, so I know they will be so excited to go, but once the novelty wears off, they would need to be comfortable so we can all have a good time. I would also need some essential beauty products, or else I would start to miss home too.

 

Here are some essential beauty products to take camping –

 

Dry Shampoo

A dry shampoo is a necessity when camping. The last thing you would want to deal with when camping is smelly hair, so ensure you take a dry shampoo away with you. They are so easy to use, and very convenient to use, since you don’t have to rinse out.

 

Suncream

Suncream for the entire family is a camping essential. I can’t imagine going camping without an SPF 30 waterproof suncream.

 

Deodorant

A strong deodorant is another camping beauty essential for me. The last thing I would want is to smell funky, so a good deodorant from a tried and trusted brand like Dove, would definitely be in my camping bag.

 

Wipes

Wipes are beauty essentials for camping. I can’t imagine being without them. They are handy for wiping off makeup, cleaning hands and so on.

 

Tinted Lip Balm with SPF

I don’t bother much with makeup when camping, but having a lip balm would be great. A tinted lip balm with SPF would be fab for hydrating the lips, adding a bit of colour and for protecting the lips from the harsh sun rays.

 

Are you going camping this summer? What are your beauty camping essentials?
