FIRST LOOK | HUDA BEAUTY MERCURY RETROGADE EYESHADOW PALETTE SWATCHES | ALITTLEKIRAN

It is starting to get annoying that every time a new product comes to my attention i.e. the Huda Beauty Nude Medium Obsessions Palettes, the brand has almost always just announced another brand new product. In this case, it is the Mercury Retrogade Palette. This palette contains 18 eyeshadows. There are three eyeshadow brushes and […]

ICELAND MINIMAL TRAVEL MAKEUP AND SKINCARE ROUTINE

Travelling with as few products as possible is my motto. It never seems to matter how streamlined my routine is I always seem to overpack and never use or wear all the stuff I roll into my suitcase. For makeup in Iceland I wanted enough to protect my skin but really wanted to bring only […]

WORTH THE SPLURGE? | ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS MODERN RENAISSANCE PALETTE REVIEW WITH SWATCHES | ALITTLEKIRAN

I don’t want to beat around the bush, when the Modern Renaissance palette – the first ever permanent eyeshadow palette Anastasia Beverly Hills and Norvina have created – was revealed I wasn’t convinced by it. The colours and overall aesthetic didn’t appeal to me. It wasn’t until I saw people create looks with the palette […]

GOLD STANDARD | SLEEK | ALITTLEKIRAN

Kiko Long Lasting Eyeshadow Sticks | Review | ALITTLEKIRAN

Beauty Awards | Eyeshadow Palette | 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 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
