The Tatcha Silk Canvas Primer ($52) has been on my wishlist forever, Tatcha is very popular amongst the US beauty community in particular Tati Westbrook, Jeffree Star and Jaclyn Hill who all have deep pockets for bougie primers and have spread that infatuation to the masses.

FAIL | COLLECTION GORGEOUS GLOW HOLOGRAPHIC LOOSE HIGHLIGHTERS IN MOONDUST & AURORA
I stumbled upon these Collection Cosmetics Loose Highlighters when I was browsing the cosmetics aisles at Wilkos while my friend purchased cat food. Collection Cosmetics is a brand that has fallen off the radar in my estimation. The hype surrounding the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and their Fast Stroke Liquid Eyeliner have been drowned out […]

The Beauty Bakerie Naeopolitan Eyes Cream Palette (£40) is so gorgeous and comprises a unique selection of beautiful autumnal colours, a […]

Kim Kardashian’s Luxury Skincare Routine. What Are They? Kim Kardashian posted this picture you see above on her snap story. I thought it would be interesting to see the products she is promoting and allegedly uses. I mention later that of course whatever celebrities promote there is always a chance they are being paid for […]

MAKEUP FIXERS | BEST/FAVOURITE HIGH END PRESSED POWDERS
Powders are a life saver, it is only in the last two years that I have ventured into loose powder territory but prior to that I was, and still am, a big fan of pressed powders. They are so handy, portable, convenient and in my experience less intense than their loose counterparts, and of course […]

WORTH THE HYPE | HUDA BEAUTY £56 TEXTURED SHADOWS PALETTE ROSE GOLD EDITION REVIEW | ALITTLEKIRAN
The Huda Beauty Textured Shadows Palette Rose Gold Edition (£56) was one item I was dying to get my hands on the second I heard of its existence. Sold on Cult Beauty for £56, I can’t deny that the price certainly made me double take. I did my research, I watched a myriad of YouTube […]

Photo from mixedgems.co.uk I tried the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation (£29.50), and thought I would share my thoughts. This foundation is available in 15 shades; continued use of this product should reduce the appearance of acne, pigmentation, large pores; redness; dark circles, birthmarks and scarring.

HOLY GRAIL MASCARA | BY TERRY TERRYBLY
We all have products that reside in a special place in our hearts and this is one of them for me. I have no clue as to why it doesn’t receive the hype it deserves, but I am utterly addicted to this mascara. I am, of course, talking about the By Terry Terrybly Mascara (£33.50). 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 […]
