Day 31 | Party Favourites | ALITTLEKIRAN

If you read my last post you would know that I was deliberating how to interpret this post. I have decided on doing a party playlist because listening to music is just the perfect escapism, and it has the additional benefit of blocking out noise including any creeps that are trying to talk to you. […]

Day 29 | Baby Blue | ALITTLEKIRAN

Baby blue is one of my favourite colours, so this post is dedicated to this pretty pastel shade. One of the reasons I love Spring is that the pastel shades come out strong and everyone and their mother is sporting something pale and perfect. See Taylor Swift rocking that baby blue hue. As for eyeshadow, […]

Day 28 | Waiting to be Released | ALITTLEKIRAN

There is always a new release around the corner with so many different cosmetics companies around. So, instead of blathering on about whether I am waiting at the edge of my seat for the latest Vice Palette, or the gorgeous 1993 lipstick and lip liner from Urban Decay, or even the new illuminators from Anastasia […]

Day 30 | Lavender | ALITTLEKIRAN

Lavender is a hard colour to  wear on the eyes, but purple shades are so flattering on pretty much all eye colours: brown, blue, and green. If done softly like the look you see below it can be treated like a neutral makeup look paired with any lip. A simple wash of pale purple is […]

Day 25 | Beautiful Curls | ALITTLEKIRAN

My hair is naturally somewhere between curly and wavy, so I don’t actually do anything with it. Therefore, I am cheating right now and have uploaded a tutorial by Huda Beauty – one of the most beautiful people alive, in my opinion – so enjoy. If I want to curl my hair I would use […]

Day 24 | Everyday Favourite

I haven’t been wearing that much makeup lately, after being on holiday for a while, all I really used was the Bare Minerals Ready to Go palette. Since my return, I have been gravitating towards the original Naked palette. It’s just such an easy palette to use, you can create so many simple eye looks […]

Day 23 | Favourite Eyeshadow Colour | ALITTLEKIRAN

Eyeshadow is my favourite part of makeup, because there is an infinite amount of colours available to choose from and it can transform any look to sultry or sweet. I have so many eyeshadows that it is almost impossible to choose, so I will attempt to narrow it down to two different colours.  I have […]

Day 19 | Favourite Foundation | ALITTLEKIRAN

I was torn between two foundations for this post, but ultimately I chose Old Faithful which is the Benefit Oxygen Wow Hello Flawless Foundation (£26.50). It is just my go-to, trusty foundation that never lets me down. This is what I return to when I want a good makeup day. I have the shade Toasted […]

Day 18 | Makeup Storage | ALITTLEKIRAN

I only recently got my makeup somewhat organised. I didn’t buy anything fancy, although I imagine I will sooner rather than later. I love makeup, I am constantly buying it, constantly collecting it, so my makeup collection is always growing. But, it’s not hoarding if it’s makeup. My mother kindly bought two plastic boxes which […]

Day 17 | Best Lipgloss | ALITTLEKIRAN

Admittedly, this post is based on one lipgloss I received in a palette but the quality speaks for itself. The Urban Decay Naked Lipglosses are beautiful. I wish I could get my hands on the whole range, but alas I am not made of money. They are £14.50 each at Debenhams, and in total there […]

Day 16 | Concealer Collection | ALITTLEKIRAN

Surprisingly enough I don’t own many concealers. In fact, I have just four that I use and I love them to varying degrees. The first concealer and the only concealer that I consider a can’t-live-without product is the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (£4.19), the only downside to this concealer is that there are just four shades […]

Day 11| Brush Collection | ALITTLEKIRAN

Sorry this post took so long, but my room and makeup definitely needed sorting. I have quite a few makeup brushes, but these are the ones I use the most. I keep them in this Princess Belle mug that I bought two years ago on a trip to Paris. I have brushes from several companies, […]

Day 15 | Favourite Eyelashes

I’m not a false eyelash person, to be honest, they are difficult to apply and I am fearful that part of it will disconnect from my lash line mid-conversation. Also, they just look fake, don’t they? I love eyelashes and I adore applying mascara, but I want naturally long, delicately curling full lashes and I […]

Day 14 | Perfect Pigment | ALITTLEKIRAN

I own a total of three pigments: MAC’s (£16.00) Copper Sparkle and Melon and Barry M’s Dazzle Dust (£4.59) in Mushroom. All gorgeous colours, because I have brown eyes I tend to reach for bronze and gold shades more so than silvery pigments, but Mushroom by Barry M is one of the most unique colours I have ever […]

Day 13 | Most Wanted | ALITTLEKIRAN

A quick post today because my most wanted item is simply the Rose Golden Brush Set (58 euros) from Zoeva. The brushes look so gorgeous and all my favourite YouTubers and makeup artists rave about them. I also want the Rose Golden Complete Eye Set (68 euros). The luxurious Rose Golden Set contains eight essential brushes, […]

Day 12 | Inspirational MUA | ALITTLEKIRAN

Makeup is a great love of mine, I am always looking for talented artists on social media to follow for inspiration. As a girl with Indian skin, I follow a lot of Armenian and Middle Eastern makeup artists because the makeup techniques and application they employ are better suited to my skin and are more […]

Day 10 | Favourite Moisturiser | ALITTLEKIRAN

Ten days in and it’s time to share with you my favourite moisturiser: Triple Performing Facial Emulsion (£22.50). I’m sure this is not news to anyone, you all know how much I adore this gorgeous cream with an SPF of 15 if gives you some much-needed sun protection. The moisturiser is lightwieght, oil-free and seeps quickly into […]

Day 8 | A Must Have | ALITTLEKIRAN

This is an easy one because the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer is a winner. It is affordable, medium coverage and easy to blend. The only downside is that it comes in just four shades. The applicator is a wand and for makeup artists this may be undesirable, but you can swipe it on a palette […]

Day 6 | Favourite Deluxe Product | ALITTLEKIRAN

I was at Coney Beach on the 6th so I fell behind a little, however here is my favourite deluxe-sized product. I struggled to think of this one but stumbled across my trusty Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foam Cleanser. Just £5.50 for 150ml in The Body Shop. There is so much product, it would be […]

Day 5 | Top 5 Lipsticks | ALITTLEKIRAN

I am not nearly as exploratory with my lip products as I am with my eyeshadows. Whereas, I will try all types of colours on my lids I tend to stick with tried and tested shades on my lips. For me, that shade will always be that nude-pink lip; it is simply unbeatable. A classic. […]

Day 4 | The Perfect Pair | ALITTLEKIRAN

After some deliberation and a brief internet search to understand how others have interpreted this title, I have decided on two answers to this post: the first is fashion-related and the second is a fail-safe beauty combination. I love preppy fashion and I truly believe you cannot go wrong with a lovely well-made jumper thrown […]

August Beauty Challenge | ALITTLEKIRAN

In a strange twist of events, I stumbled across the August Beauty Challenge on Instagram. It makes a lot more sense to do this one, I hope that’s not confusing to anyone, I will leave the posts I have already completed up and catch up with the August Beauty Challenge, which you can see below.  […]

Day 2 | Most Treasured Perfume | ALITTLEKIRAN

Fragrances are very personal, and expensive, I own very few perfumes and I get attached to all of them. For the longest time, I used Calvin Klein’s CKIN2U (£50) for the longest time and the scent is wonderful. Floral and fruity without being overpowering. The top notes are pink grapefruit and bergamot with a base of […]
