SEPTEMBER FAVOURITES

Is this real life? Am I actually posting a favourites post on the 1st of the ensuing month. Have I finally got my shit together? Absolutely not, but I felt like doing a favourites post so here we are. I haven’t been wearing much makeup at all recently but do have some products I want […]

FAIL | NYX COSMETICS SCULPT & HIGHLIGHT FACE DUO ALMOND & LIGHT | ALITTLEKIRAN

I really wanted a do-it-all 2-in-1 highlight and contour concealer for my sister’s wedding. I see the NYX Cosmetics Sculpt & Highlight Face Duo all over social media in those cool little Instagram makeup tutorials and these muas make it look quite effective so when I went to Boots last week I picked one up. […]

NEW PROD | SMASHBOX STUDIO SKIN SHAPING FOUNDATION STICK FOUNDATION WITH SWATCHES OF ALL 16 SHADES | ALITTLEKIRAN

TOP MAKEUP PICKS | A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE | ALITTLEKIRAN

Happy Thanksgiving! The Christmas Guides are rolling out at breakneck speed right now and I understand it can be a tad overwhelming, so instead of introducing you to all the brilliant gift sets that are on the market right now (of which there are many and I am sure you’ve all seen most) I thought I […]

BARRY M COSMETICS FLAWLESS CHISEL CHEEKS CONTOUR CREAM REVIEW PHOTO SWATCHES

The Barry M Chisel Cheeks Contour Creams (£8) are touted as being “super blendable creams that have been created to adapt to all skin tones to give perfectly sculptured features“. I am not one for cream contouring to be honest, although we all know I am a sucker for anything that claims to give me supermodel […]

CURRENT BASE ROUTINE FOR AUTUMN/FALL | ALITTLEKIRAN

It’s officially Autumn, according to Google, so let’s dive into my autumnal base routine. As most of you know my daily makeup is very basic but I never skip foundation and contour. They are my two ride or die makeup staples and I feel naked and vulnerable without them because I don’t have the best […]

BARRY M CHISEL CHEEKS MEDIUM TO DARK CONTOUR KIT REVIEW

Contouring still remains the love of my life and for the longest time I read post after post about how amazing the Barry M Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit (£6.49) was, but of course like many other contour palettes the kit was far too light to do anything for me. But lo and behold there is a […]

RIHANNA BLACK GIRLS ROCK | MAKEUP TUTORIAL

So, over the weekend at a sleepover (no, I’m not five I just do five year old things sometimes, don’t judge me) I watched Black Girls Rock and if you haven’t watched it, please do. It was the best awards show I have ever seen, every speech was thoughtful and empowering. There were young girls, […]

Makeup brushes are every makeup addict’s best friend, and you, my friend, only deserve the best. These four brushes are an essential addition to every makeup lover’s kit. 3/4 are from Real Techniques, and that is just a happy coincidence.

Full Coverage Makeup | Tips, Tricks and Tutorial

YouTube is an amazing platform, it makes it possible for someone like me, who cannot afford to go to makeup seminars every weekend, to watch people as talented as the exquisite Nazan Asghar for free while she imparts her knowledge of makeup and beauty. I watched a video of hers today and was blown away […]

MUG | Contour Powders | ALITTLEKIRAN

I don’t know if you have heard but Makeup Geek have released their new powder contours. This is exciting mostly because their powder products, like their beautiful eyeshadows and blushes, are known to be hits in the cosmetics industry, Marlena does a wonderful job with all of her products. She really does think of everything […]

Beauty Awards 2015 | Makeup Brushes | ALITTLEKIRAN

It’s January, holy hell, I hope you all had a brilliant New Years and have set yourself some goals for this leap year. So far, whenever I have approached my friends about their resolutions I consistently receive a negative response. “Resolutions are a waste of time, they are unrealistic . . .”, the list goes […]

Norvina | Gatsby Look | ALITTLEKIRAN

If you have Instagram (why don’t you?) you’ll know that Kris Jenner had a Great Gatsby themed birthday party and although I fell in real love with the sparkling dresses Khloe and Kylie were wearing as well as Kourtney’s glam tuxedo and sleek bun, it was Norvina’s 1920’s inspired makeup look that stole the show. […]

Kylie’s makeup game is always out of this world, and of course her new website launch has meant that all of her fans can watch exclusive tutorials on her makeup looks. You do have to pay £2.99 a month to be privy to this content, as is the same with all the new Kardashian and […]
