Those who know me, know I never use to wear eyeshadow because I have monolids and I didn't feel like my eyes suited wearing eyeshadow and to be quite honest, I didn't know how to apply it for my eye shape.
In the last few months I kept constantly seeing a video ad flying around Facebook for FREE hair extensions by a company called Belle Hair. As I was already looking for hair extensions since I got my haircut short, I got sucked into the ad! I knew I wasn't looking for anything too expensive since I change my hair colour a lot, the ad stated it was for free and I would only have to pay for shipping, which was $14.95.
It's been a while since I've done a "holy grail" product post, the last time I did one was right at the beginning of my blogging journey in 2015! Today's post is a good one, believe me!
*Please note, I had another entry I wanted to post first, this is why this post is released late. It is most likely that Birchbox will no longer have this September box available*
My friend - who would like to be called "Hello Kitty" for the purpose of this post - bought this BIRCHBOX x OLIVER BONAS beauty box as they had an offer on for 50% off, she said that it would be a good idea to include a blogpost on it. So with her permission here I am showing you what's in the September edition of Birchbox.
I'm back with another post and haven't disappeared, surprised? hahaha!
In the month of August I did a lot of shopping as mentioned in the previous post. Most of these items were bought throughout August and not all in one day, they were also purchased in the sales or at discounted prices unless stated otherwise. I will try my best to find a link to each item so you can purchase them yourselves too if you want to get your hands on them.
Every contour kit (drugstore) I've ever bought and used in the past has always come off too warm on me, or the undertone is too red for my skintone. So recently I've been on the hunt for a new contour kit, I've been eyeing up the Missha Touch On palette after watching the Korean makeup artist, Pony, use it in one of her makeup tutorials on YouTube.
A few years ago I noticed that every Spring/Summer time my back gets quite dry and acne starts developing which becomes itchy and some spots even had puss in them.. gross, I know! It's so uncomfortable especially when clothes or my bra straps rub against them, this is also known as 'backne' as I have found out recently.
Almost a year ago a Kiko Cosmetics store opened up near me, I had no knowledge of the brand prior to seeing the store and since the products are not in Boots/Superdrug (UK drugstores), I thought the products would be super expensive because of its swanky looking interior. Despite the stores minimal decor it really gave off a fancy, high-end vibe, it certainly made me feel like I had instant class just walking through the doors!
Gel nails done by yours truly ;)
This design is perfect for everyone! Whether your nails are long or short, whether you're 5 or 80 years old it's suitable for all, and of course the colour of the heart can be changed to your preferences, you can even add a background colour to add some fun to the design.
My nails here are almond shaped so the heart design is a little more obvious, on rounded/square/oval nails the heart will look more like a scalloped french tip, which is also super cute.
