And while it’s only a matter of time until the spring showers arrive (Brits aren't as optimistic), it’s time to recalibrate my skincare wardrobe. As I’ve mentioned previously, I’m a creature of habit, so I don’t tend to change much up. But my capsule spring skincare arsenal must do the following: protect, brighten, and bronze. It’s simple, streamlined, and, most importantly, effective. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I usually can’t bear an extra step of applying sunscreen. But it’s non-negotiable. Glossier Invisible Shield Daily Sunscreen is an SPF but not as we know it. Its serum-like consistency is unrecognisable from your traditionally thick, chalky sunscreen. It’s really light, fresh, and it doesn’t interfere with whatever I apply on top. My only gripe is it’s £20 for 30ml - but can you put a price on protection? When things heat up, I’ll switch to a higher dose of SPF. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m obsessed with Kora Organics Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum, it’s the best. Not only do I appreciate its formulation of 12% ascorbyl glucoside (the most stable and water-soluble derivative of vitamin C), which is scientifically proven to block free radicals and pollution, its texture is loveable and lightweight, too. I’ve used every last drop of SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic, which is hailed as the gold standard of vitamin C serums, but Noni Bright is better. Big claims, I know. But my skin is brighter, smoother, firmer, and more even, all without irritation. And unlike SkinCeuticals, it doesn’t smell like hot dogs, rather a glass of fizzy orange. It’s satisfying to use and half the price. </span></span></div>

The Oskia Nutri-Bronze Adaptive Sheer Tinted Serum takes the edge off of any redness and under-eye bags and makes my skin look like it has nothing on it at all. It’s also enriched with a whole host of ingredients from hyaluronic acid and pro-vitamin B5 to plump and hydrate, to bakuchiol the natural alternative to retinol. I use one to two drops, applied directly to my skin to minimise waste by way of my hands. </span></span></div>

Satisfyingly small, the new eyeshadow palette houses a quad of neutral shimmers from light champagne to a true bronze for gilded eyes. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My eye makeup has been pretty matte in recent years, a new eyeshadow palette will hit my desk brimming with exhilarating shades, and I’ll only dip my brush into the warm matte browns. I’m a creature of habit. A quick (and failsafe) sweep across the lids, and I’m good to go. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">But the Victoria Beckham Beauty Smoky Eye Brick in Silk, which costs £48, is seasonally appropriate, and my matte eyeshadow collection is practically begging for it. Plus, who doesn’t love something shiny, shimmering, and new? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With four easily wearable shades and minimal, plastic-free packaging, you won’t find yourself getting lost amongst shades, and it won’t clutter your vanity. The lighter tones Linen and Sunbeam aren’t as pigmented as the second half of the palette, but they’re buildable and look beautiful on the eye. </span><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">For more pigment, you can use your fingers, or press your brush into the palette followed by a quick sprtiz of water or makeup setting spray before applying to the lids. I found this worked best. It packed on the pigment delivering a more intense, opaque, smooth colour finish, which is more to my liking. Once it dries, it then makes it easier to buff into the skin without any telltale lines or edges. And if the top of your eyeshadow hardens by wet application, take a clean spoolie brush and gently exfoliate the pan. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">n these strange and uncertain times, there’s no better opportunity to learn a new skill or revisit past hobbies. I am currently taking two approaches to keeping sane while social distancing. The first being setting a routine, as I lack creativity and sense of purpose lounging around in my pajamas, eating, and watching Disney+. As much as I enjoy devouring a packet of biscuits, I need order. Secondly, it’s an unexpected opportunity to reignite old passions. Before I shifted into journalism, blogging had provided me with an outlet for escape. So here I am, kickstarting my blogging re-set. Let’s face it, I have a lot of time on my hands. Without further ado, I thought now would be the time to discuss a few beauty favourites. </span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u><a href="https://fave.co/39H9JmL" target="_blank">Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Brag Mascara, £26*</a></u></span></span></h4>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I jump around with mascaras, it’s where I tend to experiment. Sometimes it’s Maybelline, sometimes it’s Glossier, but my current mascara of choice is Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Brag Mascara. The hourglass wand boasts short, densely-packed bristles - you know the kind of brush that will make your eyelids messy if you apply haphazardly. Its formulation is creamy, ultra-black, and, unlike wine, it doesn’t get better with age. It’s best on opening, which is a rarity. Most importantly, it gives me full fluffy lashes fast. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u><a href="https://fave.co/2UHySJK">Make Up For Ever Reboot Foundation, £32</a></u></span></span></h4>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Finally, a dewy and hydrating foundation that’s relatively long-lasting. Make Up For Ever Reboot Foundation brightens, smooths out parched patches, and offers light to medium coverage with a fresh, natural finish. It doesn’t dry down, so a dusting of powder is required. And it wears how I want it to until I arrive home in the late afternoon with the slickest, shiniest forehead and nose. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u><a href="https://fave.co/39GfGjN" target="_blank">Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar Water Cream, £35.50*</a></u></span></span></h4>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I recently visited Ada Ooi, facialist and founder of 001Skincare, who post-treatment delighted me with the news my skin was ‘wonderfully hydrated’. While I took great pleasure in this compliment, it isn’t because I drink adequate amounts of water, it’s thanks to the fact I slather my skin in Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar Water Cream. Containing a heavy dose of hyaluronic acid, the slush-puppie-like moisturiser delivers a burst of long-lasting hydration and instantly calms my reactive skin on application. It’s just like you’ve downed a day’s worth of water in an instant - just what dehydrated and stressed skin types are yearning for. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u><a href="https://fave.co/34g1qx5" target="_blank">Glossier Skywash in Valley, £15*</a></u></span></span></h4>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Eyeshadow has come a long way in the past decade, it has never been easier to get good quality eyeshadow at a reasonable price. Glossier Skywash falls into that bracket with its fool-proof formulation and offering of people-pleasing shades for £15. I like to take the shade Valley (a warm matte peach) all over my lids then blend with a brush. The doe-foot applicator eyeshadows are ideal for those with a relatively uncomplicated makeup routine seeking a wash of colour. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u><a href="https://fave.co/2JDOCHo" target="_blank">Urban Decay Stay Naked Powder Fix, £27*</a></u></span></span></h4>
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">When I want to dim down some gleam, I press Urban Decay Stay Naked Powder Fix over my freshly made-up face with a Morphe Y11 Deluxe Pointed Contour brush. The silky powder offers additional coverage, blurs imperfections, and will make whatever makeup I’m wearing last that bit longer and suck up some oil in the process. </span></span></div>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Popular with cyclists, walkers and locals, The Cowper Arms pub and restaurant in Cole Green Hertfordshire, has all the charm of a traditional English pub with filling food and a warming atmosphere.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">The pub, which sits beside a disused railway line that passes through Hertingfordbury, Letty Green and Welwyn Garden City, isn't unfamiliar to me. </span><span style="text-align: left;">In fact, over the summer, Ben and myself often found ourselves sat </span>outside in the beer garden, catching the last of the afternoon sun on many occasion while digging into our favourite dishes. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Speaking of favourite dishes, </span><span style="text-align: left;">I was initially concerned The Cowper Arms would have scrapped my go-to main of battered halloumi with</span><span style="text-align: -webkit-center;"> twice-cooked chunky chips (£11.75), following a week-long refurbishment earlier this month.</span><span style="text-align: -webkit-center;"> But despite the sleek makeover, the menu is relatively</span><span style="text-align: -webkit-center;"> the same and, I'm pleased to say the battered halloumi is here to stay.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-center;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJS3e7aZBmpETY2qiUcdIkhr43XGoaHmk2ijeo-x_AvGXgVv277NI1RzL4jZyThA9qVmsb6ui2E_NgrNRVIYi6EsaQ09X4Nv7Gdi4BiDlQPKnmkG5t9hvogcpxoqX2qp1Sh98WCub_WeTE/s1600/The+Cowper+Arms+Cole+Green+1.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJS3e7aZBmpETY2qiUcdIkhr43XGoaHmk2ijeo-x_AvGXgVv277NI1RzL4jZyThA9qVmsb6ui2E_NgrNRVIYi6EsaQ09X4Nv7Gdi4BiDlQPKnmkG5t9hvogcpxoqX2qp1Sh98WCub_WeTE/s1600/The+Cowper+Arms+Cole+Green+1.JPG" /></a></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Yet the entrance, dining room, bar and toilets have had a stylish revamp. And I was all for it. From the <span style="text-align: -webkit-center;">pendent ceiling lights, subway tiles, marble countertops, copper accents and mix of leather and velvet studded chairs, they got it right. The venue now boasts a whole new contemporary look.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-center;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Whether you want fine dining, or classic pub food, The Cowper Arms offer a selection of great food that comes well portioned and presented. Including hand stretched pizzas (from <span style="text-align: left;">£10.95), chicken and leek pie (£14.50), home-made British beef burgers (£12.95) and 9oz rib-eye steak (</span>£20.95), which Ben described as <i>'beautiful'</i>, yes really. And if you're feeling bougie, you can add on lobster too and with a much more palatable price tag (£8.95). And I want to put great emphasis on the quality of its food, as whatever you order it's always really tasty.</center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
And if like me you like a good ol' gin and tonic, they've got a vast line-up of floral, fruity and dry gin. <span style="text-align: left;">Want an interesting gin to order at the bar? Try a raspberry gin and ginger ale - it's surprisingly good. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></center>
</center>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
London has an abundance of pubs with good grub, but when it comes to cosy pubs, you can't beat the countryside. So if you're passing through Hertfordshire, or fancy visiting, be sure to book and order the sticky toffee pudding (£6.50), as its mouth-wateringly delicious.</center>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Up until recently, I didn’t really give much thought about where my beauty ingredients come from - it takes time and a whole lot of googling to decode a product label. It’s a bit of a minefield. But unknowingly to me, three skincare products that I’m currently besotted with, are actually vegan. Meaning these lotions and potions do not contain any animal extracts or animal by-products. I’m not particularly snobby with my skincare ingredients if I see results I’m sweet. But it seems upping my ethics and being more conscious of what goes into my skincare products is worth my time and money as these products have been a godsend.</span> </div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2Jq7F5f" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Herbivore Moon Fruit Superfruit Night Treatment £48.00</a></center>
</center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Similar to PIXI Peel and Polish, Herbivore Moon Fruit Superfruit Night Treatment is packed with fruit enzymes to gently resurface the skin and unclog pores. The overnight mask also contains hydrating butters and hyaluronic acid, which gets a thumbs-up from me as it helps to keep my skin plump. And despite its purple appearance, you can wear the mask overnight without creating a mess on your pillowcase as the colour disappears as you massage it in. I’m yet to be completely won over by its lavender-scented formula, but slapped onto the skin in the evening, topped off with a facial oil to boost hydration <i>(as Herbivore suggests)</i>, I wake up in the morning looking like I’ve drunk my two litres of water. If you’re dehydrated, sensitive or wanting to ditch dull skin, it’s worth the splurge.</center>

<a href="https://fave.co/2NU3x0P" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dr Roebuck's No Worries Hydrating Face Moisturizer £30.00</a></center>
</center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I’m fussy when it comes to moisturisers, as I have dehydrated skin, but I hate anything thick or tacky on my face, especially when the weather turns sweat-tastic. But Dr Roebuck's No Worries Hydrating Face Moisturizer has been ticking all the right boxes. It has slipped seamlessly into my skincare routine, bumping all other moisturisers to the back of the cabinet. Its lightweight formulation includes a simple blend of effective ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and macadamia nut oil two moisture-magnets and vitamin E for added anti-ageing benefits. Gently massaged into my skin, it’s easily absorbed and non-greasy, leaving it feeling soft, supple and plump. And it’s the inclusion of glycerine (commonly found in primer) helps create the perfect canvas for makeup. The only criticism is it doesn’t contain SPF. But as I’ve been pretty dedicated to my new skincare find I’ve invested in an additional facial SPF. </center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2KWatgd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PIXI Peel and Polish £24.00</a></center>
</center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Meet my current skincare favourite; PIXI Peel and Polish. This 2-in-1 mask and polish is a miracle worker. Because with most skincare products you don’t expect to see actual results until you’ve used them consistently for several weeks, but I kid you not, in just 5 minutes this product transforms my skin. The PIXI Peel and Polish contains lactic acid and papaya enzyme, which acts similarly to an AHA (but is far gentler), to remove all the dead skin cells from your face. Twice a week, I apply the mask for 5 minutes post-cleansing, then with my fingertips I gently massage it in, then remove with warm water. As it's acid-based, it does cause some tingling, but it’s fleeting and comfortable. The result? Instantly softer, brighter skin, with no tight feeling or drying. In fact, the results aren’t too dissimilar to Peter Thomas Roth's Pumpkin Enzyme Mask, but it’s far cheaper, and your skin won’t look red immediately after use.</center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> This summer I’ve been embracing a minimal makeup routine, and it seems wearing less product is worthy of a compliment or two, as a few of my eagle-eyed colleagues have noted and praised my laid back barely-there makeup. For the first time, I gratefully accepted the compliments with confidence, as this routine doesn’t make me feel naked, unattractive or self-conscious. Who’d thought, eh? The girl who once spent all her paper round money of a tube of what was effectively coloured paste at Milton Keynes outdoor market and wouldn’t leave the house without smothering her face in the stuff would love to dabble in little to no makeup at all. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
We all know minimal makeup is tricky to master and besides <a href="https://fave.co/2IIUUCt" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MAKE UP FOR EVER Water Blend Foundation (£33.00)</a>, I’m yet to find another base that perfects your complexion without looking as though you’re wearing any makeup at all. But on occasion, I’ve been skipping foundation altogether and opting for <a href="https://fave.co/2KFFpxj" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glossier Stretch Concealer (£15.00)</a>* instead. The potted concealer offers sheer to light coverage and melts into the skin, leaving it fresh, dewy and diffused while allowing my real skin to shine through. If your complexion is on the oiler side and you’re worried about looking a hot mess, either layer a primer underneath or apply a translucent setting powder to help with any unwelcome shine. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
</center>
</center>
</center>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<center style="text-align: justify;">
For a minimal makeup look, I like to switch up my powder bronzer and contour in favour of something with a creamy texture, as I find the finish is more natural. <a href="https://fave.co/2KCB9hY" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base (£40.00)</a> is a cream-based bronzer, and although it isn’t handbag friendly, it’s my go-to for faking an impressive summer glow. I apply the bronzer where the sun would hit my face naturally - forehead, nose, cheeks and chin – using a stippling brush, and it blends with ease. The finish is a soft matte with zero shimmer and is almost undetectable. However, this is not a product I can wear when I’m a little pasty, as it has an orangey undertone - so something to bear in mind if you have a pale complexion, as unfortunately, it’s only available in the one shade. </center>

Unless I’ve had an overzealous plucking session, I’ll simply brush a couple of coats of <a href="https://fave.co/2DkNqUt" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glossier Boy Brow (£14.00)</a> through my eyebrows to help tame them and add a little texture. Available in four shades Boy Brow delivers on its claims that it fluffs, thickens, and shapes without getting flaky or crunchy. But when my brows have those occasional sparse areas, I’ll opt for <a href="https://fave.co/2IHyH86" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Benefit’s Goof Proof Eyebrow Pencil (£20.50)</a>, which provides a more soft look than a powder, or pomade. And if I want my brows to look uber-natural <i>(and I can be asked with the additional effort)</i> I’ll opt for not one, but two shades of Goof Proof, taking the lighter shade through the front of the brows and the darker through the arch and tail to lengthen and define. </center>

Before applying mascara, I like to conceal my veiny eyelids with a neutral matte eyeshadow that’s a tad deeper than my natural skin colour to help disguise any discolouration. Generally, I tend to wear one of the following three; <a href="https://fave.co/2IIgrvb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Makeup Geek Eyeshadow in Creme Brulee (£4.95)</a>, the eighth shade in <a href="https://fave.co/2iMeram" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Huda Beauty’s Warm Brown Obsessions Palette (£25.00)</a>, or <a href="https://fave.co/2KqBLv1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyeshadow in Burnt Orange (from £12.00)</a>, all of which are great picks for day-to-day. And then I’ll apply mascara which is non-negotiable careless of what look I’m trying to achieve. <a href="https://fave.co/2IEQJb3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glossier Lash Slick (£14.00)</a> is a great everyday mascara that goes on without clumping, and it lifts, lengthens and separates every single lash. It doesn’t add much volume, but it's buildable and it feels as though I’m wearing no mascara at all. In short, it does for your lashes what boy brow does for your brows.</center>

Among the rotation of lip products I’ve been hoarding in the bottom of my handbag is <a href="https://fave.co/2KAIjTD" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dior Addict Lip Glow Colour Awakening Lipbalm in 001 Pink (£23.40)</a>. The cult balm from Dior doesn’t just lend my lips a boost of hydration; the pH adaptable lip colour glides on almost transparent before developing into a flattering rosy tint. What I particularly like also, is it’s super soft texture and that it’s never, ever glossy or sticky no matter how much you apply. And when my cheeks are looking a little dull, I’ve found that it doubles nicely as a cream blush. I rub the bullet onto the tips of my fingers and gently pat the product onto my cheeks, and it leaves my skin looking brighter, rosier and dewy. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
If I apply Dior Addict Lip Glow to my cheeks, I find the need for highlighter is less. But when I do want a little suminsumin, it will come as no surprise that I reach for something creamy that has little to no shimmer.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">

<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
For a glow without the glitter <a href="https://fave.co/2KBv8BU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter (£30.00)</a>* does the trick and imparts a beautiful luminous finish, that’s so lovely and natural-looking that it’s hard to resist apply all over. And to top it all off I lightly mist <a href="https://fave.co/2KHsmeM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ (£19.00)</a> my favourite glow-giving mist over my skin. </center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My suitcase weighed in at 20kg as it hit the scales at Gatwick airport when we checked in for our flight to Porto Santo last month. I would usually regard myself a light packer, and I did up until this point. But I should have considered this a possibility the moment my sister asked me why I needed to fly half the contains of the bathroom cabinet with me to Portugal as I shoved my wash bag into my case. And in hindsight, she had a point, as it’s safe to say not every single product got put to good use during my holibobs. But a handful of products did and I thought I’d share those with you today.</span></center>
<h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2IHyWA3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wilko After Sun Aloe Vera Gel £2.50</a></center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
It might be the most unappealing product in this round-up, but it’s easily one of the most important. If like me, despite your best efforts, your skin burns within minutes of being exposed to the sun, aloe vera gel is a must. I repeat it’s a must-pack beauty product for a hot summer holiday. Typically brand-to-brand the formulation of aloe vera gel doesn’t differ, so I tend to pick up a tube from wherever is convenient. But trust me when I say this green goo will help soothe, hydrate and calm the worst sunburn of your life.</center>
<h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2IJdXwu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">HERBIVORE After Sun Soothing Aloe Mist (60ml) £10.00*</a></center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Although aloe vera gel doesn’t make you oily, it can leave a sticky film on the skin. So to ensure you can wear your favourite <i>(and most comfortable)</i> dress to the all-inclusive evening buffet without the garment sticking to your thighs <i>(or backside in my case)</i> after sun sprays such as HERBIVORE After Sun Soothing Aloe Mist are a great alternative. The blend of aloe vera, lavender and peppermint essential oils means the mist is cooling, soothing, hydrating and anti-inflammatory. It’s worth noting, however, that HERBIVORE uses glass bottles to house their beautiful products, which is great for the environment, but not our luggage. But it’s nothing a <a href="https://fave.co/2iMVMuV" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glossier</a> pink pouch couldn’t help a gal out with. </center>
<h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2KoBp8h" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream (75ml) £18.00</a></center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
My love for Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Bum Bum Cream hasn’t wavered since it first made an appearance on my top shelf last June, as smothering my limbs in this stuff is always a pleasure. Not only is the sugary, summery scent addictive, but it’s also hydrating, creamy and leaves my skin noticeably soft and suppler, without that typical greasiness associated with most body creams. But does it make my butt plump? Honestly, this isn’t a Brazilian bum lift in a jar per se, but the dimples in my skin, scars and stretch marks have been visibly reduced. </center>
<h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2Ng94yM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Moroccanoil Treatment Light (25ml) £13.45</a></center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Typically I don’t tend to style my hair on holiday; it goes up during the day, gets washed post pool/sunbathe session and is let to air-dry before I head out to consume several piña coladas. But one of my all-time favourite styling products and after sun hair saviours is Moroccanoil Treatment Light. To apply, I gently squeeze out the moisture from my hair (after washing), rub a tiny amount of the oil into the tips of my fingers and work the product through the mid-section and into the ends of my hair. The lightweight oil feeds my hair back to its best after being exposed to heat and humidity, reducing frizz and unruliness, leaving it seriously soft and shiny. </center>
<h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2IHsTeR" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Alpha-H Daily Essential Moisturiser SPF 50+ (50ml) £29.00</a></center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Call it a quarter-life crisis, but I’m suddenly seeing fine lines developing on my face, and I’m freaking out. I blame the one too many years of using sunbeds and not wearing a sunscreen with a high SPF rating. But rather than dwelling on the should haves, I now wear and strongly suggest investing in a moisturiser with an SPF rating of 30+ <i>(and not using sunbeds blah, blah, blah…)</i> to help slow down the ageing process. My current favourite is Alpha-H Daily Essential Moisturiser SPF 50+ that has an SPF of 50 as well as high UVA protection. It can be worn alone, or under makeup and is comfortable, lightweight and doesn’t look white on the skin – it just feels like a regular moisturiser. And of course, you can still get a tan while wearing sunscreen. So don’t disregard the importance of facial SPF, or rely solely on your foundation with SPF.</center>
<h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2Nfavxm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask £42.00*</a></center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
While it’s not a necessity, it’s always nice to pack a beauty product that helps you to indulge in a little pampering while you’re away. And as I was planning to lounge in the sun for hours on end, which can leave my complexion feeling zapped of moisture, I opted for Summer Friday’s Jet Lag Mask, which has a seriously hydrating formulation - more so than Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask. It also contains vitamin C, Niacinamide, Green Tea and Chestnut Extract to boost hydration, brighten, soothe and reduce uneven skin. The balm is thick and smells a little minty, and I found it is best applied overnight, especially if you’re after uber-dewy plump skin. </center>
<h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2IIeIWJ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vita Liberata Body Blur Instant HD Finish 24HR Wear (Latte Light) £27.00*</a></center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Admittedly this was the first time I’d taken a false tan product abroad and to do so sounds a little ironic, doesn’t it? But I wasn’t blessed with skin that tans seamlessly the same shade from head to toe, and I found that Vita Liberata Body Blur Instant HD Finish 24HR Wear came in handy during my stay. It worked a treat at helping to even up my skin tone, I simply applied a thin layer of the wash-off self-tan every evening to any exposed limbs and rinsed off before I got into bed. But it’s worth mentioning if you apply too much, the product can ball up and I recommend applying with a tanning mitt to avoid a streaky finish. I’m not one to book a pre-holiday spray tan, but I wouldn’t hesitate at packing this again. </center>
<h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2KqBLv1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eye Shadow Palette £43.00</a></center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I love to experiment with new eyeshadows whilst I’m away as I have the time <i>(and energy) </i>to do so. And before my trip, I hadn’t even opened the Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eye Shadow Palette despite the fact I’d purchased it back in March(!) so it was the ideal candidate for the job. The latest palette from Anastasia Beverly Hills features a selection of neutral eyeshadows including a handful of warm peaches, which are undoubtedly my most worn eyeshadow shade of the past two years. During my stay, I wore all 16 shades and found they complimented my blue eyes and golden glow perfectly. </center>
<h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2IIJa3f" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">By Terry Cellularose Brightening CC Serum (Sunny Flash) £61.00</a></center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Rather than second-guessing and buying a foundation that is darker than my usual shade, I like to mix my foundation <i>(<a href="https://fave.co/2IIUUCt" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MAKE UP FOR EVER Water Blend Face & Body Foundation</a>)</i> with a pump of By Terry Cellularose Brightening CC Serum in Sunny Flash. The CC serum isn’t something I reach for during colder months, but when my base needs a hint of warmth, the bronze serum is my top pick. The CC serum isn’t a coverage product, but it blends well with my go-to bases, brightening, smoothing and blurring my complexion. It is, however rather pricey and perfumed, so two things to consider if you're strapped for cash and sensitive to perfumed products. </center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> If you’re wondering where the hell I’ve been, in short, I’ve been shopping for summer <i>(almost irresponsibly so)</i>. And in that time I’ve pushed my heavy creams, foundations and fragrances to one side and made way for a new crop of beauty products. So I thought I’d share with you a few of my favourite beauty launches and makeup staples I’ve been sticking to this summer – crack open a cold one!</span> </center>
</center>
<h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2KCB9hY" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CHANEL Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base £40.00</a></center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Besides <a href="https://fave.co/2KoikTE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury’s Filmstar Bronze and Glow</a> compact, I’m pretty fickle when it comes to bronzers. But since the UK has been blessed with some decent spells of sunshine, Chanel’s Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base has been my top pick. The solid cream bronzer which is housed in a rather large plastic tub <i>(but that didn’t stop me from taking it away with me on holiday)</i> can be worn alone or on top of makeup. To apply, I use my <a href="https://fave.co/2KoWob2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zoeva 122 Petit Stippling Brush</a>, which picks up just the right amount of product <i>(as things can get a little orange-y with a buffing brush)</i> and blend the cream across my cheeks, the bridge of my nose and forehead to mimic where the sun would naturally hit. The finish is a believable bronzed glow, and I like to top it off with a light dusting of contour powder into the hollows of my cheekbones and a touch of highlighter. </center>
</center>
<h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2IEQJb3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glossier Lash Slick Mascara £14.00</a></center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Glossier is ever-expanding their line-up of easy, everyday makeup staples and I’m all for it. And their Lash Slick Mascara, which launched in May has pleasantly surprised me with its ability to lengthen, separate and fan-out my lashes. The £14 mascara with Japanese fibre technology, delivers more on length than volume <i>(unlike <a href="https://fave.co/2Kmhtmd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lancôme Monsieur Big</a>)</i> and sure, you need few coats to get the full effect <i>(as I find with most mascaras)</i>, but it lives up to its claims that it doesn’t smudge or clump. I have, however, on the rare occasion spotted a couple of tiny fibres on the tops of my cheeks, but they easily brush off. And yes, the formulation does wash away with warm water, which is a plus for me, as when I roll through the front door from my commute it makes removing my makeup pretty quick and painless. I’m on my second pink tube already.</center>
</center>
<h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2IHyH86" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Goof Proof Eyebrow Pencil £20.50</a></center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2KzvRnd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow</a> has been my ride or die brow product for a good few years now. But when my angled brow brush got a little dirty, and I quite frankly couldn’t be asked to give it a good clean, I found myself reaching for a miniature Benefit Goof Proof Eyebrow Pencil I had stashed away, and I’ve been using it ever since. Shade 2 <i>(light brown)</i> is a great match for my hair colour, and the finish is far softer than a pomade which compliments my lighter, more natural summer makeup. It’s by far the best brow pencil I’ve used for some time as it’s a little waxier than most and has an angled nib making it the perfect product for the extremely lazy and makeup novices.</center>
</center>
<h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2KqBLv1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette £45.00</a></center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I’m a sucker for an eyeshadow palette <i>(my IKEA Alex drawers are a testament to this)</i>. So when a new palette launches, it’s usually in my basket within minutes of its release. Yet, I didn’t feel the need to snap this one up in a hot minute as I have neutral eyeshadows plenty. But I did fail to resist soon after <i>(standard)</i>, handed over my money and fell head over heels for its assortment of warm browns and peachy shades. And despite not housing anything revolutionary, it’s easily my all-time favourite ABH eyeshadow palette. It’s wearable, blendable, long-lasting and transitions beautifully from day to night. It was also the only palette I packed for my recent trip to Porto Santo. </center>
</center>
<h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://fave.co/2KljxLr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">NARS Fort De France Highlighter £28.00</a></center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I tend to sway towards pearl-hued highlighters for an everyday glow as I find they’re more flattering on my fair to medium skin tone. But Fort De France from NARS, soft, light champagne, not only looks beautiful in the pan; it looks gorgeous on my cheekbones too. The sought-after highlighter enhances my skins natural warmth without being too stark, or bright <i>(I’d say it’s somewhere in the middle)</i> and blends seamlessly. It lasts well but isn’t as long-lasting as other highlighters I own and two swift sweeps across the tops of my cheekbones, down my nose, and on top of my brow bone usually does the trick, any more and it has the tendency to exaggerate the texture of my pores. </center>

<span style="font-size: large;"> Within the last couple of years, every beauty brand has released a highlighter <i>(or two)</i>. And for a minute, I thought I'd seen and tried them all - from powder, cream, jelly, liquid, with or without shimmer and even black highlighter. But then Charlotte Tilbury releases <a href="https://fave.co/2uOkAfl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hollywood Flawless Filter </a>(£30.00)*. And despite its foundation like appearance, this isn't a foundation or coverage product. It is a cross between a primer and highlighter of the sparkle-free variety, and I can't get enough.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Available in seven shades <i>(I wear the shade 1 Fair)</i> the <a href="https://fave.co/2uOkAfl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter</a> is a complexion booster that Charlotte describes as a 'the ultimate high gloss, high glow celebrity-skin-filter-in-a-bottle’ and once I'd seen Charlotte dousing varies celebs in the new beauty product on her Insta account I had major skin envy - this stuff has no chunky sparkles, or shimmer, it's just pure dew. And when I say dew, what I mean is glossy and natural.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
The application and finish are completely customisable; you can either use the doe-foot applicator to dot it on underneath your foundation <i>(as you would a primer)</i> for a subtle glow, mix it with your foundation, or apply it to the high points of your face <i>(the top of cheekbones, brow bone, cupid's bow, etc.)</i> for a more intense finish. My preferred method is the latter. I transfer a little product onto the back of my hand and use my fingertips to tap it along the tops of my cheekbones and right above the lips at the cupid's bow.</center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
The finish is impressive. It's diffused and almost wet-faced without being sticky or too shiny - just how has she done it? I don’t think my skin has ever reached this level of glowy dewiness. And as much as I enjoy wearing <a href="https://fave.co/2q4Fz8O" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glossier Haloscope</a> and <a href="https://fave.co/2ItTLiu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Glow Shot, </a>they've been trumped in that respect. The formulation is creamy, near clear enough, blendable <i>(it practically melts into your skin)</i> and considering it's textured, it's relatively long-lasting. But what I would say is the glass bottle while undeniably pretty, will certainly cause a little aggro, as I can imagine scraping the last out of the bottle will be pretty tricky. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
In a nutshell, if you like glossy cheekbones, or you're after a more natural sort of sheen, you've got a winner right here. </center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Favourite minimalist makeup and skin care brand Glossier nailed the launch of <a href="https://fave.co/2q5bOoF" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lidstar</a> their first take on liquid eyeshadows. Not only did Queen Bey tease the Lidstars back in January, two months later they received a major endorsement from several Hollywood stars on the 2018 Oscar red carpet. And the makeup community freaked out - if it's good enough for Beyoncé it's good enough for us right?</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Available in six shades and housed in a doe-foot ended applicator, <a href="https://fave.co/2q5bOoF" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lidstar (£15.00)*</a> are described as 'less shadow, more glow' and they've certainly been created with makeup minimalists in mind. Minimum effort is required and no additional beauty tools are needed. With absolutely zero fuss, you swipe the product onto the lids and blend out with a finger - it's as idiot-proof as make-up gets. The Lidstars apply wet, but they then dry down after a minute or so and blend out to a wash of lightweight, shimmery colour. So don't let the swatches deceive you, if you're after a full on opaque glitter you'll find these disappointing <i>(if so, I suggest you try <a href="https://fave.co/2q627Gl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Stila Magnificent Metals</a> instead).</i> And although I've heard the trick is to layer the product for a more intense colour pay off, the saying ‘less is more’ most definitely comes into play here, as I find the colour creases and looks uneven when layered. </center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
The shades are fun and refreshing and despite the fact I've tried dozens of cream and liquid eyeshadows I have few shades that are similarly-colored. Glossier say the soft glistening colour comes from a 'delicate proportion of ultrafine multicolor pearls'<i> (whatever that means)</i>, but either way the shades are unique, delicate, pearlescent and adhere well to bare skin before fading after 4-5 hours.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
While I love the easygoing factor of <a href="https://fave.co/2q5bOoF" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glossier's Lidstars</a> and will reach for them when I fancy turning my everyday makeup up a notch, I'm not quite ready to push my matte powder eyeshadows to one side. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">

Will you be giving Glossier Lidstar eyeshadows a try?</center>

<span style="font-size: large;">When it comes to lip products, I'm pretty predictable. Truthfully I have three or four nude lipsticks I wear on the regular and a couple of bold hues I'm not afraid of rocking when the occasion seems fit <i>- a.k.a Christmas.</i> I'm simply a lazy lip product lover. I'm down for anything nude, that's easy to apply and promises speedy makeup application. And <a href="http://fave.co/2DJcFDy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">NUDESTIX</a> has managed to appeal to just that, with their crayon-like, multitasking lip and cheek product line-up.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />

<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
NUDESTIX Gel Color Lip + Cheek Balm and Intense Matte Lip + Cheek Pencil* (£24.00) are lip pencils that double up as a cream blush, packaged in chubby <i>(but not too chubby)</i> black, travel-friendly pencil format. Both products come in a tin, paired with a sharpener. And NUDESTIX, as the name would suggest, offer simple, wearable shades that please me and my lips greatly.</center>

The moment I swiped on <a href="http://fave.co/2DJcFDy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">NUDESTIX Gel Color Lip + Cheek Balm in Pulse,</a> I was an immediate fan. Pulse is a rosy nude with a plummy undertone, that feels more like a luxurious tinted balm than a full-on lipstick, thanks to its formulation of 30% super-hydrating lip-protecting plant oils and vitamin E. It is more pigmented than your standard tinted lip balms, but what I love the most is the finish. The coverage is smooth, and it's not overly glossy, the finish is kind of like the glazing on a doughnut without stickiness. It doesn’t last as long as some on the lips, but touch-ups have never been easier. All in all, it's been nice having something a little different rolling around in my handbag.</center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://fave.co/2DwLZlP" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">NUDESTIX Intense Matte Lip + Cheek Pencil in Belle</a> is a cool-toned rose with a very subtle micro-shimmer and a matte finish. I must admit this shade has been overshadowed by my liking for Pulse, so it hasn't had half as much wear. But the shade which draws similarities to <a href="http://www.britishbeautyaddict.com/2018/01/charlotte-tilbury-matte-revolution.html" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk</a>, is a flattering everyday muted nude. The lip pencil delivers a velvety, even soft natural lip colour without feathering or bleeding. Unlike Pulse, it does wear for a good few hours. But long-wearing formulas do get a bad rap for being drying, and while this shade doesn't suck the life out of my lips, it does accentuate chapped lips, so a bit of lip balm is required to prevent this. Overall, I like that this pencil looks softer and undone around the edges as opposed to other matte nude lipsticks I own.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I'm yet to scribble either shade onto my cheeks as I'm currently sporting cold weather cheeks. So I can't comment on their application, or wearability in that sense. But if you're in the market for a new signature lip <i>(or just love hoarding lipsticks)</i>, I recommend you give NUDESTIX ago. Especially their Gel Color Lip + Cheek Balm's, which require next-to-no effort, glide onto the lips like butter and give them some extra dimension. </center>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Day-to-day I tend to stick to a handful of basic makeup products that are easy to apply, dependable and allow me to get out of the door fast. I've had my fair share of practice applying makeup quick since working in the city. And believe it or not, but I can apply my everyday makeup in under 15 minutes. Yes, really. Here's my current tried-and-true makeup routine. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Pre-foundation I prep the skin by massaging a rich moisturser followed by <a href="http://fave.co/2CyXuMx" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Elemis Pro-Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm</a> so my skin is glowy and has a lil' extra slip to help my foundation apply smoothly and evenly. After moisturizing I always apply a lip balm to let it sink into the lips while I apply my makeup. I've been using <a href="http://fave.co/2Dscqwy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dr Lipp's Original Nipple Balm</a> - I'm currently making my through my 3rd tube. And sometimes I’ll throw on <a href="http://fave.co/2Dw8XwK" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Clinique Pep-Start™Pout Perfecting Balm</a>.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
My current foundation favouite is <a href="http://fave.co/2CzyG3P" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H Foundation</a>, which I've recently repurchased as it totally delivers. It covers, conceals and gives an even, yet comfortable finish that's seriously long-lasting. It doesn't transfer or make my skin look patchy and it also does a pretty good job at keeping any midday t-zone shine under wraps. It's well worthy of a spot in your makeup bag.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
The <a href="http://fave.co/2CHaXSG" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector</a> has become a mainstain in my makeup routine and is yet to be rivaled. It's uh-mazing. I like apply a tad to the inner corners of my eyes blending the creamy colour corrector using my fingers out under my lash line to neutralise the blue hue of dark circles. Then I swipe <a href="http://fave.co/2Dljms5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer</a> in Light Neutral over the top and blend using my <a href="http://fave.co/2DkrsRA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Real Techniques Sculpting Brush</a>.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Next I sweep <a href="http://fave.co/2DuuohP" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder</a> in Fair (a new beauty buy that I'm currently diggin') under my eyes, over my forehead, nose and chin. Up until now I had been reaching for <a href="http://fave.co/2Du6XFb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder</a>, but Charlotte's finishing powder is cashmere-smooth and helps me achieve a flawless finish unlike any other powder I've tried. And I'm a little in love with the packaging too.</center>

To bronze and lightly contour, I take the sculpt shade from <a href="http://fave.co/2DkslcS" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow</a> on a <a href="http://fave.co/2DwLr2C" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Morphe M495 Duo Deluxe Fan Brush</a>, suck in my cheeks and apply into the hollows, onto my temples, jaw line and the sides of my nose. The powders formulation is ultra-blendable and pretty fool-proof, so perfect for when I want a sculpted look fast.</center>

I don't wear blusher often, but when I do, I've been reaching for <a href="http://fave.co/2Dj8MSa" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tanya Burr Illuminating Powder</a> in Peonies Please. This blusher is ideal for when I my complexion needs some serious brightening. But it has to be applied with a light hand - unless you fancy making the same error as Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones. And to highlight, I apply <a href="http://fave.co/2iNTcoG" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Too Faced Love Light Prismatic Highlighter in Blinded By The Light</a> to the tops of my cheekbones.</center>

For brows an oldie-but-a-goodie - <a href="http://fave.co/2DvMakU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow</a> in Medium Brown. This brow pomade with gives me the perfect brow colour and shape. It can be a bit of faff at first. But I believe its one of the best brow products the beauty sphere has to offer. And to keep my arches looking groomed I use a <a href="http://fave.co/2DkNqUt" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glossier Boy Brow</a> in Brown.</center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> You can never have enough nude lipsticks. They’re sophisticated, fresh and an effortless way to, well, look like you made some effort. I’ve touched upon nudes <a href="http://www.britishbeautyaddict.com/2016/06/the-loreal-lip-kit.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.britishbeautyaddict.com/2016/06/my-mac-nude-lipstick-collection.html" target="_blank">there</a>, but there’s a new nude on the block; <a href="https://go.skimresources.com/?id=108972X1566566&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cultbeauty.co.uk%2Fcharlotte-tilbury-matte-revolution.html%3Fvariant_id%3D11180" rel="" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Pillow Talk</a>. It’s not a new beauty release, but the shade which was originally one of Charlotte Tilbury’s award-winning <a href="https://go.skimresources.com/?id=108972X1566566&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cultbeauty.co.uk%2Fcharlotte-tilbury-lip-cheat.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lip Cheat lip liners</a> has sold out several times, but it’s finally back in stock.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I purchased it a few months back now, after myself and my Mum were invited to Charlotte Tilbury at Westfield London for a makeover, which turned into me making multiple purchases (my bad) and ever since I’ve been hooked. </center>

I totally get the love for this lipstick. Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution in Pillow Talk is a muted pink-meets-brown, classic your-lips-but-better shade, that enhances your lips without being too opaque, or too beige. Applied to the lips it gives a medium layer of semi-matte colour, that's neither hydrating or drying <i>(which is a bonus as matte lipsticks can make my lips feel as dry as a cat's behind - sorry not sorry)</i>. It's simultaneously subtle and stunning, making my lips look a little more pouty. And for those days where I want to channel my inner Angelina Jolie, it can also be layered with the coordinating lip liner, or sheened-up with <a href="http://fave.co/2DiEtuM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">L'Oreal Infallible Mega Lip Gloss in Protest Queen £6.99</a> to make them look even fuller. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
When I fancy a bolder nude I'll reach for <a href="http://www.britishbeautyaddict.com/2016/02/mac-velvet-teddy-lipstick-review.html" target="_blank">MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick</a>, but for office-approved lips Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Pillow Talk is easy to apply, reapply and wear. It's my new nude lip fave - I have no complaints.</center>

<span style="font-size: large;">Today I present to you <span style="text-align: left;">2017's best beauty discoveries. Last year was a great year for beauty, mainly due to the fact more brands and products that have been making </span><span style="text-align: left;">serious waves across the pond have become readily available here in the UK - mainly thanks to the likes of sites such as Cult Beauty, Beauty Bay and not forgetting Glossier. So throughout the year I wasn't short of new enticing beauty products to try, but there are some skincare, makeup, tools and fragrances that are now firm favourites and really worth splashing out on.</span></span></center>

<span style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://fave.co/2CvtnT4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24HR Foundation £31.50</a></span></center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24HR Foundation is the base of 2017 that I relied on to last all day. Teint Idole Ultra 24HR provides a medium to full coverage finish and has a non greasy formula, that doesn't look cakey, transfer or leave you feeling like you're wearing a mask. My daily routine is pretty non-stop with an early start and late finish, so having a foundation in my arsenal that I don't have to worry about reapplying is a must. And this bottle of liquid goodness even makes it through to post-work drinks.

</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
For lazy Sundays and those days when I don't want to wear makeup (but also don't want to look like utter rubbish) the lesser known Make Up For Ever Water Blend Foundation is my top pick. The ultra-light, super hydrating formula, has the most beautiful glowy skin-like finish. And despite its sheer coverage, it evens tone, minimises the appearance of pores and smooths uneven texture. Plus you can cover your skin from top to bottom with the stuff, which has been ideal for disguising my eczema prone skin on the rare occasion I uncover limbs on a night out. <a href="http://www.britishbeautyaddict.com/2017/09/my-most-reached-for-high-end-foundations.html" rel="" target="_blank">[Full review]</a></center>

</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I tried and tested many concealers last year, but the hero under eye product has to be the BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector. The tried-and-true corrector is creamy, lightweight and has magical light reflecting properties that help to eradicate dark circles while adding a subtle, flattering luminescence to my skin. I apply the pink toned corrector before concealer and together they get the job done. It's now a firm staple in my daily makeup routine - I couldn't imagine being without it.</center>

<a href="http://fave.co/2CKdU4L" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream £18.00 - £44.00</a> </center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, this body cream is expensive and I'm aware there's really no compelling *need* to spend £44.00 on body lotion. <i>But it's totally worth it.</i> Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream is hands down one of the best smelling body lotions in the beauty business. It's infused with Guarana to stimulate circulation, lift and tighten and has an edible tropical scent due to its blend of pistachio, caramel and coconut that will leave you smelling heavenly all day long. <a href="http://www.britishbeautyaddict.com/2017/07/cream-of-crop-sol-de-janeiro-brazilian.html" target="_blank">[Full review]</a></center>

<a href="http://fave.co/2zCrjrM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glossier You Eau de Parfum £45.00</a> </center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I'm seduced by fragrance, so naturally I have bottles of the stuff. But a handful of my all-time favorites such as Chanel Chance are much harder to style day-to-day. Enter Glossier You Perfume, the day-appropriate scent dubbed to 'smell like you'. Glossier You falls on the softer side and is the perfect addition to my perfume collection. It doesn't veer too far sweet, floral, or powdery and has the perfect amount of musk. Think warm, light, comforting, <i>luxurious liquid detergent</i>, yet it's still incredibly alluring. In the words of Goldilocks this <strike>porridge</strike> perfume is just right. </center>

</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Last year saw the release of several palettes but in my opinion Huda Beauty Warm Brown Obsessions Palette is the best eyeshadow palette of 2017. It has a top notch shade selection with eight warm-toned mattes and one pressed glitter. The mini-palette is bang on trend and I actually use every single shade, especially the warm brown on the bottom row which I like to sweep over my lids on the regular - the proof is in the pan <i>(quite literally)</i>. It's an absolute gem. If you've been itching to add a new palette to your arsenal, this is a must-have. And best of all, it costs £25.00 - so you can save that mullah. <a href="http://www.britishbeautyaddict.com/2017/11/huda-beauty-warm-brown-obsessions.html" target="_blank">[Full review & swatches]</a></center>

</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
It Cosmetics Heavenly Skin CC+ Skin-Perfecting Brush #702 is the best foundation brush I've had the pleasure of using to date. I have literally gotten rid of all of my previous foundation brushes. It's soft, densely packed, and the balance of the handle and the brush head is perfect. But its ability to apply a variety of different products be it face cream, liquid or cream foundations and tinted moisturisers so smoothly and evenly is what sets it apart from the rest. </center>

</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
The Estée Lauder Estée Lauder The Illuminator Radiant Perfecting Primer + Finisher reignited my love for makeup primers in 2017. The nourishing gel-meets-lotion contains special hydrators and skin-smoothing Vitamin E, Rice Bran Extract and Shea Butter. It leaves my skin plumped, smoothed, baby-soft and brightened with just enough dew. It prolongs whatever is worn on top, but unlike other primers it keeps my base looking fresh. </center>

</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
2017 was a groundbreaking year for stripped back skincare formulas with The Ordinary leading the pack. And boy did I buy near enough every product from the Ordinary range. But there was one product in particular that's wowed me and my skin The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2%. I leave the product on overnight and come morning my skin is visibly brighter and far smoother thanks to its high concentration of vitamin C. Two words, game-changer. </center>

<a href="http://fave.co/2CuWNk3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">YSL Touche éclat Glow Shot Highlighter in Daylight</a> and <a href="http://fave.co/2CHbXpU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish in Double-Gleam</a> are also deserving of a shout out for the best highlighter discovery of 2017, but when it comes to my most worn highlighter Too Faced Love Lights Prismatic Highlighter Blinded by the Light has no contenders. This highlighter despite its name is for a more subtle approach to glowly skin. It has a beautiful pearlescent finish, that isn't too strong, nor shimmery and lasts all day. The shade is an ideal middle-of-the-road hue that would look natural on just about everyone. It's pretty, pearly and one of the most Instagram-worthy highlighters ever. <a href="http://www.britishbeautyaddict.com/2017/04/4-new-beauty-buys-review-swatches.html" target="_blank">[Full review & swatches]</a></center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ever since I got a job in London my skin and I have had a somewhat turbulent relationship. Congested pores, redness, blackheads, uneven texture and <i>(yes)</i> even minor signs of ageing have all graced my face at some point in the last two years. So during 2017 I cut back on buying, got to know my skin a bit better and adjusted my existing product routine. Unsurprisingly many of the products I’ve tried and tested in the last 12 months haven’t worked for me. But a handful have had their chance to shine and have seamlessly slipped into my daily skincare routine without a hiccup.</span></center>
</center>
<h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://fave.co/2CldIFM" target="_blank">The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% £5.00</a></center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I love hunting for game changing skincare products and The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% has won me and my skin over. It's an antioxidant-rich vitamin C serum - one of the most powerful antioxidants available to treat the skin, which has been shown to minimise sun damage, help boost collagen production, even skin tone, reduce red and brown spots and fine lines. Plus, it can repair the damage that occurs throughout the day from UV and environmental stress. The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% has a slightly gritty texture and it does itch when applied, but my skin has become more tolerable to the high dosage of vitamin C with continual use. Not only has it helped restore my skin to its glowy, angelic potential, it's made a huge difference in smoothing and softening the texture of my skin. </center>
</center>
<h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://fave.co/2Cixvp7" target="_blank">Clinique Pep-Start™Pout Perfecting Balm £16.00</a></center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
When my lips are feeling dry I've been reaching for Clinique Pep-Start™Pout Perfecting Balm. And it really works. It visibly softens and instantaneously hydrates my lips while leaving them a lil' glossy. It's surpassed my liking for Glossier's Original Balm Dotcom which separated and started to smell odd after just a months use. In comparison, Clinique Pep-Start™Pout Perfecting Balm is odourless, has zero colour and there's no need to use your finger, which is a major plus. </center>
</center>
<h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://fave.co/2ClAI7m" target="_blank">Glossier Super Bounce Serum £24.00</a></center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
This winter my skin has been thirsty AF. Enter Glossier Super Bounce the supercharged serum that's serving up nicely as an extra dose of moisture. Super Bounce is formulated with a high concentration of hyaluronic acid an incredibly hydrating ingredient, which holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. It also has a pleasing texture so I thoroughly enjoy smothering it all over my skin in the evening post-cleanse. <i>Versus <a href="http://fave.co/2CwK041" target="_blank">The Ordinary's</a> hyaluronic offerings?</i> For me, Glossier Super Bounce pips the post with its silky-smooth formulation - the only drawback is the price that you pay for just 15ml. </center>
</center>
<h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://fave.co/2CyXuMx" target="_blank">Elemis Pro-Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm £37.00</a></center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
After trialling a travel-sized Elemis Pro-Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm during my weekend break to Edinburgh I returned home and bought the full size. It's essentially a luxurious illuminating primer that can be worn alone, or paired with your moisturiser for optimum luminosity. It glides onto the skin, is moisturising without being too greasy and instantly brightens my complexion without being sparkly, glittery or shimmery. Which is exactly what my skin needs in this cold weather. </center>
</center>
<h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://fave.co/2CzDFEM" target="_blank">Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser £15.00</a></center>
</center>
</h4>
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
My first impression of Glossier's cult Milky Jelly Cleasner wasn’t all that. In short I felt it was too basic. I much prefer something a little more hardworking to cleanse in the evening, such as <a href="http://fave.co/2CmNCCf" target="_blank">DHC Deep Cleansing Oil</a>, which removes a full coverage makeup in a flash. But don't disregard Glossier's Milky Jelly Cleanser. It's a good choice for an AM cleanse as it removes dirt and light make-up without leaving your skin feeling dry or tight. And it's a great product for those with sensitive seeking a gentle cleanser.</center>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">Party season has arrived <i>(hooray!)</i>, so it's time to up my skincare game. During December my usual pre-sleep cleanse doesn't cut the mustard. The late nights, back-to-back parties, cold weather and weekday boozing leave my complexion dull, blotchy and spotty. So I've put together a whole host of effective skincare products from <a href="http://fave.co/2j2yf9x" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Body Shop</a>, to help prep and preen my skin for the party season.</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span></div>
<h4>
<center style="text-align: left;">
CLEANSE</center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
It probably is no surprise that you’ve got to start by cleansing the skin. I tend to double cleanse every evening as I work in the city and wear makeup regularly. For the initial cleanse I will use a basic no-fuss cleanser such as <a href="http://fave.co/2jdEYi3" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil £12.00</a> to remove makeup and surface grime. And then I'll use a targeted cleanser <span style="text-align: left;"><i>(i.e. for dry or congested skin)</i> </span>for a deeper clean.</center>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<center style="text-align: left;">
EXFOLIATE</center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Next I'll scrub-a-dub-dub. Exfoliation is key for glowing skin, as when old skin cells start to pile up, your complexion can become rough, dull and clogged. My polish pick is <a href="http://fave.co/2BtsxFp" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Body Shop Tea Tree 3-in-1 Wash Scrub Mask £8.50</a>, the grainy scrub contains tea tree oil <i>(an ol' faithful of mine that treats without over-drying)</i> and tiny exfoliating particles that gently unclog blocked pores, smooth the top layer of the skin and reduce the appearance of those unsightly blackheads. I recommend exfoliating 1-2 times a week, applying the scrub to damp skin in circular motions and tailoring the pressure to your skin. </center>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">DETOX</span></center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
My favourite skin-boosting treatment pre-party is a mask. If you suffer from blemish prone skin, or have spots that like to linger, I recommend using a clay based purifying mask to help lift out impurities and speed up the healing process. I love <a href="http://fave.co/2BuDlTA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask £17.00</a>, formulated without any nasties it helps clear congested skin. I apply generously ideally using a <a href="http://fave.co/2jc4vbk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facial Mask Brush £8.00</a>, let it set and then use a warm flannel to remove every last morsel. And for those mornings of a party when I wake up with a throbbing spot <i>(typical), </i>I use the clay mask directly onto the spot with a cotton bud and leave it to work as long as possible. </center>
<h4>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">REHYDRATE </span></center>
</center>
</center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Whenever I use a purifying mask I always like to follow up with some facial oil to rehydrate the skin. <a href="http://fave.co/2jbMwBN" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Body Shop Drops Of Youth™ Concentrate £26.00</a> is packed with several do-good ingredients that help to soften the skin and prevent moisture loss. It sinks in nicely with a little facial massage and by morning <i>(as I prefer to apply oil in the PM)</i> it's soothed away red patches and left my skin plump and glowy. And if my complexion is freaking out I'll use <a href="http://fave.co/2jc4i7X" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Body Shop Tea Tree Anti-Imperfection Daily Solution £13.00</a>, pre-serum/oil concentrate that combats blemishes.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">If you're looking for a mask to hydrate, plump and soothe <a href="http://fave.co/2jbOimf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Body Shop </a></span><a href="http://fave.co/2jbOimf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">British Rose Fresh Plumping Mask £17.00</a> is a great pick. It's infused with real rose petals, rosehip oil and aloe vera and is perfect for dry and sensitive skin. As a last-minute quick fix, apply the mask 30-60 minutes before you apply your makeup for gorgeous dewy skin.</center>
</center>
</center>
<h4>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">PREP</span></center>
</center>
</center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Skincare is truly the first step in applying makeup. So for the perfect canvas I <i>always</i> moisturise, as dehydrated skin shows all the lines, can aggravate blemishes and leave it looking dull and flaky <i>- not desirable. </i>I'm currently enjoying <a href="http://fave.co/2jbIARy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Body Shop Drops Of Youth™ Cream £22.00</a> <i>(which fyi smells heavenly)</i> and leaves my skin smoother, more luminous and awake - <i>very desirable</i>. Just make you wait five minutes before you apply your foundation <span style="text-align: left;">to prevent a messy make-up slip 'n' slide.</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br />
</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;">Huda Kattan’s <a href="http://fave.co/2zYB9nJ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">new beauty launches</a> this autumn have left me wanting to buy and try more from her award-winning makeup line. Not only have the <a href="http://www.britishbeautyaddict.com/2017/11/huda-beauty-warm-brown-obsessions.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Obsession palettes</a> bowled me over, the <a href="http://fave.co/2j9CArA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">#FauxFilter Foundation</a>* has pleasantly surprised me. #FauxFilter may sound like a load of nonsense marketing but never has a matte foundation been more flawless without sucking the life outta my skin. It’s as close as I’ve got to an Instagram filter IRL and I’m digging it. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: left;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
However, there’s one caveat; the coverage is heavy (but note: not mask like, think <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/n9gc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">MAC Studio Fix Fluid</a>) so application requires a little work and extra help from a hydrating primer, especially if your complexion is on the drier side, so in short it’s not a chuck on job done kinda foundation. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
But when my skin doesn’t resemble the Sahara Desert, boy does it deliver. It’s the most highly pigmented foundation I’ve ever tried, trust me a single pump will do the trick at concealing redness, blemishes and everything else in-between. It has a healthy satin finish, that doesn’t go chalky after a few hours wear like <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/n9fS" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Estée Lauder Double Wear</a> and loose powder isn’t a necessity when wearing <a href="http://fave.co/2j9CArA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">#FauxFilter</a>, because it wears pretty well and still looks good by 6pm. The liquid foundation does have a floral scent, but it doesn’t bother my nose, or my skin, so I can look past that. But it does have an admirably wide shade range, with 30 to choose from, but be warned the formulation oxidises, so opt for a shade lighter.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
All in all, it’s no surprise <a href="http://fave.co/2zYB9nJ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cult Beauty</a> has found it difficult keeping Huda’s first foundation in stock. So if you like full coverage radiant makeup, this could be your pick for the party season and the best part? I’ve just checked and Cult Beauty now has every.single.shade available. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> Up until now few new beauty products have managed to cement themselves into my beauty routine this year. I’ve tried and tested countless products, but after a few weeks wear, they like most, have resided to the back of my IKEA drawers. But with the influx of new beauty launches this autumn, I’ve had a bit of a makeup mix-up and I’ve been left reaching for a handful of new(ish) beauty products on a daily basis and I'm impressed.</span></center>

Something old rather than something new, <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=476276157&pid=uid2601-39238699-53&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer</a> is an ol' beauty favourite of mine and for good reason. In recent months I'd been gravitating towards the <a href="http://fave.co/2zYsNNb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Shape Tape Contour Concealer from Tarte</a>, but with the change in the weather the heavy duty concealer started to extenuate my dehydrated under eyes with its thick matte formulation. But Urban Decay's Naked Skin Concealer has a medium-to-full coverage, yet is super light and has a natural finish that leaves my under eyes soft and smooth. </center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
This palette was made for me. No seriously, Huda Kattan has done a stellar job creating the Obsessions eyeshadow <a href="http://fave.co/2j9A0BU" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">palette collection</a>. There isn't a single dud in the Warm Brown Obsessions palette, every single shade is highly pigmented, smooth and blendable. What's more, it's diddly so ideal for on the go and Kattan hasn't scrimped on product, as the pans are the same size as her original palettes. No doubt I'll be adding another to my online basket soon.</center>

</h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Many question why you'd need a face mist, but I've been a long-standing lover of the stuff especially during autumn/winter months when my skin is dry or dehydrated. Just think of the <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=631307645&pid=uid2601-39238699-53&site=www.shopstyle.co.uk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PIXI Glow Mist</a> as a quick fix. A couple of spritz of the bi-phase lightweight spray, instantaneously hydrates leaving my skin smoother and dewier. </center>

<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/n81e" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glossier Boy Brow £14</a></center>
</h4>
<center>
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Benefit Gimme who? There's no denying Benefit's Gimme Brow is a decent product and one I've used for some time now, but with <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/n83h" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glossier's</a> arrival here in the UK, it's found itself in competition with Glossier's best-seller Boy Brow. <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/n81e" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Boy Brow</a> is nice; it thickens, tames, tints and is fuss-free, but its texture is what sets it apart from the rest. The formulation is far wetter and creamier (similar to a brow pomade) so doesn't stiffen or flake throughout the day. For me, it's my go-to for cba makeup days and works well with my holy-grail <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/n84l" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade</a>. </center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/n9iG" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation £9.99</a></center>
</h4>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
If you've got dull or dry skin you should give Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation a go. It's a great high street base and one I often return to come the colder months. And over the last week it has been welcomed return, as many of the foundations I had been wearing had started to leave my skin looking cakey, dry and far too matte. But Healthy Mix is radiance-enhancing and nourishes my skin with its blend of <span style="text-align: left;">vitamins C, E and B5.</span></center>

<span style="font-size: large;">Black Friday may technically be a week away <i>(Friday 24th November)</i>, but many brands and retailers aren’t wasting any time and are already dropping new deals, offers and discounts in the lead up to the big day. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Let’s be honest, Black Friday isn’t just a day or a weekend anymore, it’s four <i>freaking</i> weeks long. I’m not complaining though – that’s four weeks of guilt free shopping in my books! And as per there are ridiculous deal on TVs and electronics, but there are also a lot of offers, discounts and promo codes in the fashion and beauty sphere worth sharing.</center>

So below you’ll find the best deals and be able to click through for a peek at my top product picks from beauty products, clothing and homewear, so you won't have to get off your couch and tackle fellow Black Friday shoppers for that red cable knit we’ve all been lusting after. But be quick, ‘cos not all these deals will be sticking around. Oh and feel free to bookmark too, as I’ll be updating this list daily. </center>

<span style="font-size: large;">Behold, Huda Beauty’s Obsessions Palettes. The newest and cutest beauty buys created by award-winning beauty blogger Huda Kattan and I’m shamelessly obsessed rn. I purchased the Huda Beauty Warm Brown Obsession Palette on launch day and after putting the palette through its paces I can confirm, the slimline eyeshadow edit is worth the hype. And although they’re teeny-tiny I might just need a bigger makeup bag, because I want them all. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There are four colour combos to choose from: <a href="http://fave.co/2iNvF7a" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Smokey</a>, <a href="http://fave.co/2iMzI3D" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Electric</a>, <a href="http://fave.co/2iMeram" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Warm Brown</a> and <a href="http://fave.co/2zCD0hZ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mauve</a>. And each palette houses nine shadows opposed to 18 like the brand’s larger shadow collections. And surprisingly despite the Obsession palettes size the pans are still the same size. </div>

Warm Brown is comprised of one metallic eyeshadow surrounded by eight versatile mattes and even has a decent-sized mirror built in. <a href="http://fave.co/2iMeram" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Warm Brown</a> was my favourite at first glance; the shade range is bang on trend. It’s all about reds, oranges and those neutral hues we all know and love and they go perfectly together, no guessing needed. The palette has a similar vibe to the <a href="http://fave.co/2zzVoIf" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Desert Dusk Palette</a> and <a href="http://fave.co/2zAsyHG" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette</a> (two best sellers), but has a smaller selection of shades. But let’s be honest, one can only fit so many shades on to one’s lids at a time.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The formulation echoes Huda’s previous palettes, as the eyeshadows have excellent pigmentation and are super blendable. I love a good matte look and the transition and base shades are perfect for contouring my eyes and the pop of copper is ultra-flattering on my blue eyes.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I’ve tried and tested many eyeshadow palettes this year and while they’re all pretty in their own right, The <a href="http://fave.co/2iMeram" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Huda Beauty Warm Brown Obsession Palette</a> is undeniably my favourite eyeshadow palette release of 2017. It’s a fantastic set to have on hand, that’s portable and affordable priced at £25. Kattan is killing it. Bravo.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Can you believe it's November already? This year has flown by unlike any other. I've had a lot going on over the last 12 months and honestly, its kinda left me feeling a little bit behind in the ol' <span style="text-align: left;">blogosphere. But I'll save the life update for another time. Today I want to give you a quick rundown of 5 current beauty favourites, that I've been using every day for the past month that are pretty damn good. </span></span></div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://fave.co/2zCrjrM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glossier You Eau de Parfum £45</a></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Seriously, has anyone <i>not</i> bought anything from <a href="http://fave.co/2iMVMuV" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glossier</a> yet? I placed an order the day Glossier launched online here in the UK and have since placed several more orders. Safe to say Glossier has my attention and a lot of my moolah. Glossier You, the brands debut fragrance is beautiful. I'm not sure how best to describe this scent. But it's subtle, creamy, warm and designed to enhance your natural skin scent. Others have said Glossier You is similar to <span style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/mOUs" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Escentric Molecule's </a></span><span style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://fave.co/2zzVUGb" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Molecule 01</a>, but I disagree. The only similarities are the two fragrances are gentle and designed to amplify your natural skin scent. It seems once again Glossier have done it. </span></div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://fave.co/2iMO0Bt" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Glossier Generation G in Cake £14</a></span></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It's been some time since I've gravitated to one particular lip shade on the daily, but enter Generation G in Cake in all its diffused, sheer matte goodness. This lipstick sits somewhere in-between a lipstick and tinted balm - it's matte, highly pigmented and easy to apply. Cake is a gorgeous nude with a hint of peach and not too far off my natural lip colouring, so it's a great everyday lip option. But it isn't unlike other matte lip products as it can be a tad drying, especially now the weather has taken a cold turn. But I predict I will be receiving <span style="text-align: left;">more pink bags in the post, as I'm currently lusting after Generation G in Leo and Like.</span></div>

<a href="http://fave.co/2zAFltQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream £70*</a></h4>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've gratefully received an influx of goodies from some of my favourite brands in recent months and one product that landed on my doorstep that's been a staple in my skincare routine ever since is <span style="text-align: left;">Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream. It's a rich n</span><span style="text-align: left;">o-nonsense moisturiser with SPF15 and I simply love slathering this stuff on my face, as it makes my skin feel <i>so</i> soft. </span><span style="text-align: left;">Its formulation includes hyaluronic acid, </span><span style="text-align: left;">antioxidant vitamin E, </span>rosehip and camellia oils. My only negative is the packaging. Although pretty, <span style="text-align: left;">dipping your fingers into the pot reduces the efficacy of the ingredients. But if </span><span style="text-align: left;">money is no object and you've got seriously dry, dull or dehydrated skin it's more than worth it. </span></div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://fave.co/2iLLviA" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector £21</a></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
A bout of insomnia last month resulted in <span style="text-align: left;">dark under-eye circles. You know, the kind that won't disappear no matter how much concealer you apply. This is where </span>BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector comes in - a peachy, pink corrector that when applied before concealer helps banish dark circles. To apply I use my fingers and tap a little to inner corners of my eyes and blend the product under my lash-line and boy does it brighten. It has a <i>very</i> creamy texture that works wonders for my dry and exhausted skin, but I always set with a powder otherwise my concealer will crease and slip'n'slide all over the place. </div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://fave.co/2iNTcoG" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Too Faced Love Light Highlighter in Blinded By The Light £25</a></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I very rarely hit pan on products, but I can imagine I will on this one. Too Faced's Love Light Prismatic Highlighter in Blinded By The Light doesn't look as blinding on the skin as the name suggests. Rather it's an incredibly subtle beige pearlescent highlight, with a hint of shimmer and I've been reaching for it on the regular. It doesn't trump my cult-fave <a href="http://fave.co/2zB4g0k" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Powder in 01</a>, but is another great pick for a subtle, pretty, everyday highlight. Not to mention, the metallic heart-shaped packaging is pretty cute. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://fave.co/2iQR4fQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tanya Burr Selfie Story collection</a> is the first makeup launch of YouTuber Tanya Burr that's got me excited. Besides her debut makeup line, back in 2014 where I purchased a handful of glosses and polishes, I've completely overlooked her brand. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Burr has spent years testing, swatching and reviewing beauty products for her legions of fans, so naturally I expected her Selfie Story collection to be good. And Burr hasn't disappointed. Her latest launch is completely worth purchasing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Selfie Story includes three <a href="http://fave.co/2zFCYGa" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">brow pencils</a>, a <a href="http://fave.co/2iR2b8H" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">liquid eyeliner</a> and <a href="http://fave.co/2iSUP4f" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">mascara</a> priced from £4.99 - 7.99. And as I have a hard time resisting new products, especially a good mascara and liquid eyeliner <i>(two of my everyday makeup staples)</i>, I had to give 'em a go. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Firstly, I've got to praise Burr as the packaging alone is a major selling point, not many drugstore beauty products have such pretty packaging. But is the packaging as good as the formula? <a href="http://fave.co/2iSUP4f" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tanya Burr Selfie Story Lash Mascara (£7.99)</a>* has densely packed short bristles that make it easy to coat every single lash. A couple of coats lift, curl, lengthen and separate my lashes to maximum effect. It isn't too dissimilar to Maybelline's best-selling Lash Sensational Mascara, but it doesn't layer as well. If you apply too much whilst the formula is still wet, it will leave your lashes stuck together. So give your lashes the chance to dry a little before applying another layer - <i>unless you dig big clumpy lashes.</i> All in all, it wears well, doesn't transfer and is a great option if you love fluttery lashes. </div>

One of my go-to looks is a cat eye, so liquid eyeliner is an absolute staple in my makeup bag. Now I wouldn't go as far as saying <a href="http://fave.co/2iR2b8H" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tanya Burr Selfie Story Flick Eyeliner (£4.99)</a>* is the most idiot-proof liquid eyeliner on the market, as it does require a little patience. But the perk of this product is it's seriously matte and stays all day, which can be hard to come by. The application isn't as smooth as the likes of Lancôme's Grandiôse Eyeliner, but it doesn't tug or drag and has a superfine tip for precise, thin lines. What's more, it doesn't come with a heft price tag and is easy to remove. It stacks up against luxe brands and has since become the liquid eyeliner I choose to use.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I'm a daily foundation wearer through and through, whether its full coverage, light coverage, mattifying or dewy I've got a foundation for the job. Needless to say, picking a foundation out isn’t easy, shade matching and finding a formulation that doesn’t oxidise, or cake come 3pm can seem impossible. But I have a few high-end foundations I fall back on daily that are mainstays in my collection. So here’s a rundown of my favourites.</span></center>

<span style="font-size: large;">Drop the falsies and lash curlers, there's a new mascara on the block and its a sell-out. I spent two weeks trying to snag a tube of <a href="http://fave.co/2zHroug" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">L'Oreal Paris Paradise Mascara</a> £11.99, it was clearly a popular product as it flew off the shelves and consequently sold.out.everywhere. Tbh, I always want what I can't have, especially when it comes to beauty products and although I was disappointed, I felt reassured it would be worth the wait, because if the masses were buying it, it must be good. But does this new release live up to the hype? In short yes. I was blown away by, well, everything.</span></center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My love for beauty products runs deep. No matter how hard I resist I always want to try more, see what's new and discover real beauty gems. Last month my spending was restrained as I got a lil debit card happy during a few too many social occasions including a very boozy bank holiday weekend. But this didn't stop me from reviving an old eyeshadow palette from within the deep depths of my IKEA Alex drawers and dropping a few pounds in my local Boots. And I've found four you-need-to-try beauty products, all tried, tested, loved and recommend by moi. </span></center>
