LUNAR BEAUTY NEW MOON PRISM POWDERS IN MERCURY VENUS MARS & JUPITER SWATCHES | ALITTLEKIRAN

Usually, it takes so long for US beauty releases to hit other customers around the globe. Hello, Maybelline, I am still awaiting the Loose Fit Me Powders. That seeing the Beauty Bay post on Instagram, shook  […]

KYLIE COSMETICS KRIS JENNER COLLECTION FIRST LOOK & SWATCHES | ALITTLEKIRAN

Another day another Kylie collection, this time in collaboration with her famous mother slash momager. I, for one, think it is really cool that Kylie’s next drop was in partnership with her mother because I was truly thinking it would be Kendall, the only sister she hasn’t collaborated with, and I can’t tell you how […]

Too Faced The Beautiful and the Bronzed Palette French Riviera Edition Review and Swatches One of my resolutions for 2018 is to stop being such an easy target for new releases, 2017 me would peruse the New In section religiously and salivate over the description boxes of YouTube videos until my debit card would scream […]

FULL LOOK AT THE NEW DESI X KATY DOSE OF COLORS COLLECTION WITH SWATCHES | ALITTLEKIRAN

FIRST IMPRESSIONS | VEGAN MAKEUP LINE B. BEAUTY AT SUPERDRUG

The only product I have tried from B. Makeup is their sponge which is such a great dupe for the beauty blender. It is shaped the exact same, super soft, gorgeous texture and costs only £5. I was contacted by a member of their PR team who kindly offered to send me some of their revamped […]

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

Happy Thanksgiving!

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“.

REVIEW SWATCHES & DUPE | NYX HIGHLIGHT AND CONTOUR PRO PALETTE | ALITTLEKIRAN

I have been using the NYX Highlight and Contour Pro Palette (£18) for a few weeks now, in fact the minute I heard that NYX was available in Selfridges I ran there and picked this palette up. It retails for £18, which is a little steep. For this reason, I want to mention, what looks […]

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 […]

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 […]

Ultra Contour Palette | Review | ALITTLEKIRAN

One Setting Brush | Many Uses | ALITTLEKIRAN

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 […]
