2022 | WHAT I HAVE WATCHED RECENTLY FILM AND SERIES RECOMMENDATIONS | ALITTLEKIRAN

My favourite way to unwind after work or on a weekend with nothing planned is to watch something. I like to just switch off an immerse myself in a different world, the same reason I love reading. There is always something to watch no matter my mood, whether I want something lighthearted or mindboggling or […]

HAUL | WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS 2021 | ALITTLEKIRAN

It’s already New Year’s Eve. what better time to share the presents I received for Christmas. Personally, I enjoy What I Got For Christmas Hauls, but I know it’s not for everyone. Christmas is relatively a small affair for my family, I only buy gifts for a few people and receive gifts from a few […]

REVIEW | CHARLOTTE TILBURY CHARLOTTE’S MAGIC SERUM CRYSTAL ELIXIR | ALITTLEKIRAN

What it is: The Charlotte Tilbury Magic Serum Crystal Elixir is a “refining serum” that you apply after cleansing and before moisturiser. It can be used day and night and claims to improve the appearance of skin and your makeup application. It’s USP is that it is marketed as an “all-in-one” product as it has […]

VIEVE BY JAMIE GENEVIEVE | FIRST LOOK & THOUGHTS IS IT WORTH IT | ALITTLEKIRAN

  Vieve, is a new(ish) brand that has recently been launched by none other than Jamie Genevieve. I love the name of the brand, I think it is cool and fun and certainly appropriate.

DECEMBER, THIS YEAR | THE GOOD THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO | ALITTLEKIRAN

Although the title of this post is a bit negative and we likely all feel a bit despondent abour what 2020 turned out to be, this is actually going to be a positive post. I promise. It’s a pretty grey day outside, a constant drizzle of rain. I have spent most of the morning in […]

THINKING OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL | KNOW YOUR SKIN TYPE | ALITTLEKIRAN

Are you considering laser hair removal? If so, it is crucial that you know your skin type. Laser treatment is becoming an extremely popular choice amongst both men and women as a way to get rid of unwanted body hair.

DR DENNIS GROSS PR EVENT & PRODUCTS | STORY TIME EMBARRASSING MYSELF AT A PR EVENT | ALITTLEKIRAN

First of all, it has been half a year since I last posted and honestly I just haven’t felt like it. Even today, I was finally in the mood to post because I wanted to share a mask that I have been loving but as it turns out that mask is now discontinued so there […]

LAZY SUNDAY | UNREALISTIC BEAUTY IDEALS

Currently, I am in France celebrating my friend’s 23rd birthday, when did we all get so old? It is also Mother’s Day in the UK so a very Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there. I hope you have been pampered and adored and that your children continue to show you the same […]

3 FOR 2 | L’OREAL PARIS HAUL TOTAL COVER FOUNDATION VOLUMINOUS MASCARA INFALLIBLE GEL EYELINER | ALITTLEKIRAN

As most of you know most drugstores offer 3 for 2 deals all the time, meaning that everytime I walk into either Boots or Superdrug I always talk myself into buying 2 extra products that I don’t need. I thought it would be different and hopefully somewhat interesting to share what I got, so if […]

#FEELINGFEARLESS | METALLIC PURPLE LIPS FT. MORPHE BRUSHES JEFFREE STAR & OFRA | ALITTLEKIRAN

I was asked to be a part of the Beauty Bay #FeelingFearless campaign and they sent me these three products pictured above. I can’t believe I got a PR package from Beauty Bay, one of my most used sites, someone pinch me. I tend to play it pretty safe with my makeup so this was somewhat […]

17.03.2017 | ST PATRICK’S DAY INSPIRED MAKEUP TUTORIAL | ALITTLEKIRAN

It is St Paddy’s day!  Last night, I was feeling equal parts bored and inspired, instead of eating just for the sake of eating which is what I tend to do in those situations I thought I would play around with some makeup instead. It is disgusting how much makeup I own and how little […]

FIRST FANCY PURCHASE | JO MALONE NECTARINE BLOSSOM AND HONEY COLOGNE FRAGRANCE REVIEW

I feel so super fancy writing this post right now because I never thought I would be the type of lass that would comfortably be able to rock a Jo Malone fragrance, sorry “cologne”. I used to watch YouTubers like Alix from ICovetThee wax poetic about numerous Jo Malone products and always aspired to exude […]

There is the Pink Sands Edition for fair to medium skin tones and the Golden Sands Edition for medium to dark […]

POREFESSIONAL DUPE? | MAYBELLINE BABY SKIN INSTANT PORE ERASER PRIMER REVIEW

Primer tends to be hit and miss for most people, the only primer I had ever really tried is the Benefit Porefessional (£23.40) which costs a pretty penny let me tell you, so I thought okay I like pore-filling, smoothing primers. They tend to be my go-to and I scoured the aisles of Superdrug and Boots […]

WORTH THE HYPE? | PIXI GLOW TONIC REVIEW | ALITTLEKIRAN

The Pixi Glow Tonic (£18) was made famous by Caroline Hirons, I believe, the queen of skincare, and while the Black Friday Deals were happening I scooped a bottle up. I have been using it for three months now so I had plenty of time to really think about what I thought of it. So […]

DISCUSSION | THE LEGITIMACY OF FINGER SWATCHING

It’s Sunday and I wanted to have a little discussion with you all because I am actually dying to know what you think of this. Not too long ago Kevin James, a well-known celebrity makeup artist, posted on Instagram (see above) discussing the legitimacy of finger swatching. I know, as of late, many big name […]

REVIEW | MORPHE BRUSHES E1 DELUXE POWDER BRUSH

Not too long ago, I reviewed the Kathleen Lights x Morphe Palette (post here) but actually that was not my first Morphe purchase. The first Morphe product I bought was from Beauty Bay and it was the E1 Deluxe Powder Brush (£18.25/$22.99). Morphe doesn’t have the best reputation. They are known as the “social media […]

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY | BODY IMAGE SCARED OF THE FUTURE AND FEELING STUCK AND LOST | ALITTLEKIRAN

Today is Valentine’s Day and I hope you are all having a great day regardless of your plans and relationship status.

Honestly, I think, as with all special occasions, whatever feels comfortable for you will be your […]

REVIEW & SWATCHES | MORPHE X KATHLEEN LIGHTS PALETTE PHOTOS SWATCHES & UK SHIPPING DETAILS | ALITTLEKIRAN

The Morphe x Kathleen Lights Palette ($14.99) is the only palette from Morphe Brushes I have ever purchased. I got it directly from the Morphe website and paid a shipping fee ($21.47 – I know that’s ridiculous). Altogether, therefore, I paid a total of $36.46 which works out to £29.20 GBP for the whole palette […]

KICK ASS SINGLE GIRL VALENTINE’S DAY GUIDE

Personally, I love Valentine’s Day in spite of my single girl badge. It just seems like a great day to me where everyone celebrates love, all kinds of love and not just romantic love. I do understand that it is little more than a flimsy excuse for shops to sell shedloads of lovey dovey crap […]
