MAKEUP REVOLUTION CONCEAL & DEFINE FOUNDATION OILY SKIN REVIEW | ALITTLEKIRAN

As promised this is the Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Foundation* Review. I picked up the shade F10.5, described as being for “medium skin tones with a warm golden undertone”. I do have the Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Concealer* in shade C10 as well. I don’t consider this to be a perfect match for my […]

REVIEW | POUNDLAND TEARDROP FOUNDATION BRUSH DUPE JUST £1 DEMO | ALITTLEKIRAN

Poundland Foundation Teardrop Brush Review I have been meaning to post this review forever. I love finding great cheap things. I saw this brush in Poundland and instantly thought of the popular insta-trend teardrop foundation brushes from brands like Eloise and Iconic London. It is quite small and cute, plus the actual aesthetic is pretty […]

BUY OR PASS | CHARLOTTE TILBURY BRAND OVERVIEW | ALITTLEKIRAN

I get a lot of questions about specific brands and my thoughts on popular products. In a few posts I have mentioned my thoughts on the Charlotte Tilbury range and how quite a few of their products I don’t get on with. I got a bit of backlash for it as I understand CT is […]

REVIEW | MAYBELLINE SUPER STAY 24HR LIQUID FOUNDATION | ALITTLEKIRAN

A few months ago I got the Maybelline Super Stay 24H Fresh Look Longwear Foundation in Fawn (£9). I work nine hour days during the week so once I apply my foundation at 7am I want it to last pretty well until the very end of the day which for me is usually around midnight or […]

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

Happy Thanksgiving!

October Favourites MAC Soft and Gentle MSF Milani 2 in 1 Foundation Tata Harper Marc Jacobs Remarcable Foundation My blogging mojo has been distinctly lacking lately, but don’t worry I am not going anywhere.

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 […]

TWO REVIEWS | MAYBELLINE DREAM BRONZE BB CREAM AND FIT ME MATTE + PORELESS FOUNDATION | ALITTLEKIRAN

Two Maybelline reviews today: Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless (£6) #130 Buff Beige and Maybelline Dream BB Bronze Cream (£7) in Medium/Deep. Matte + Poreless is created with normal to oily skins in mind i.e. perfect for me. The foundation comes in a disappointing six shades and although Buff Beige is slightly too late for me […]

REVIEW & SWATCHES | L’OREAL INFALLIBLE PRO GLOW NEW FOUNDATION VS PRO MATTE | ALITTLEKIRAN

Have you heard about the L’Oreal Infallible Pro Glow foundation ($12.99)? I am sure you have as it is the talk of the town currently. As far as I know it is only available in the US, although they are quickly running out of shades in most stores and on Amazon. There was a slight […]

4 AFFORDABLE MAKEUP BRUSHES YOU NEED IN YOUR COLLECTION NOW | ALITTLEKIRAN

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. They are my go-to brand for when I need to feed my brush addiction. I […]

New Invention | Magic Cosmetix Magic Tips | ALITTLEKIRAN

It’s been said over and over again that your fingers are by far your best tools. The heat of your finger/hand warms up the cream product so it applies better when transferred to your face. In addition, because your finger is a part of your body it allows you to have more control and precision […]

Makeup Geek Foundation Stippling Brush | ALITTLEKIRAN

Stop the presses, because I have a new favourite brush. The Makeup Geek Foundation Stippling Brush (£14.50) is the first and only product I have tried from Makeup Geek and I am in love. This is such a fantastic synthetic foundation brush, it blends like an absolute dream and can be used with both creams […]

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 […]

Foundation Friday | Rimmel Match Perfection | ALITTLEKIRAN

I love to try out new foundations especially the more affordable ones because you never know what gem you might discover. Last week, I found this Rimmel Match Perfection foundation in BodyCare for £4.99. I recently saw Zoella use this in a makeup tutorial and the coverage and blendability looked so good on her that […]

S&G One Heck Of A Blot Foundation | Review | ALITTLEKIRAN

Soap & Glory have the most gorgeous bath and shower products, and I have heard brilliant things about their powder, SuperCat eyeliner and Thick & Fast mascara. I am a big fan of their skincare products, particular the products that are geared towards people with oily/combination skin, aka me, such as the No Clogs Allowed […]

Brand Talk | No7

I have seen a few other bloggers do a similar post where they take one brand and do an overview of the products they have tried and which ones were a hit and which ones were a miss. I have yet to see anyone do a brand look at No 7 Cosmetics, which is available […]

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 […]

Foundation Friday | Maybelline Better Skin

I have had the Maybelline Super Stay Better Skin Foundation (£9) for a good few months now so I can finally do a reliable review on this product and go in-depth about what I like about it and what I don’t like about it. It is created for stressed-out skin, which is a wonderful concept, […]

Hello | Adele Makeup | ALITTLEKIRAN

Adele has done it again. She has this rare and incredible talent to move you with her voice, no matter what she’s singing, it makes you feel. Her latest single Hello which I’m sure you’ve heard as it is everywhere right now is on the same level as Someone Like You in my opinion. Although, […]

Superdrug Haul | Drugstore Powders | ALITTLEKIRAN

Superdrug is one of my favourite stores to shop in, because it is inexpensive, always has offers on and provides a 10% Student Discount as well as allowing customers to earn points on their Beauty Cards. I do, however, wish they had more shades available in store and that staff were more easily accessible for […]
