WEEKLY INSTAGRAM ROUNDUP #1

Lately I have been utilising Instagram as more of a creative outlet than ever before and I have really enjoyed working on my photography skills and being able to share it with you lovely girls who follow me. If you aren't following me on Instagram then now has never been a better time since I have been posting so much. My handle is @JordyCannon and I would love to chat with you over on there as I always have my phone in hand, scrolling. How these will work is each time I will choose my favourite photos that I've posted over the week and share them here in a post. You will see mostly the makeup spreads I have put together and occasionally a personal update or photos from events.

First up we have the above image showcasing the Naked 1 Palette and a series of red options for lips, cheeks and nails. I used a lot of these products to create my Friday night makeup look.

Below is showing the result of my visit to the salon on Friday. Out with the ombre and in with the new lighter shade for summer.

NOVEMBER FAVOURITES

November is my favourite month of the year other than December (nothing beats Christmas) mainly because of my birthday and I also love the lead up to the holiday season. Due to this, it's a month where I do spoil myself a little bit, finding new and awesome products to try out. So I have six interesting and fun products to show you in this post, all of which I have been adoring this month.

My first favourite you will have to head over to my Instagram (@JordyCannon) or Facebook page for since it's my new hair colour. I decided to lighten up for Summer, ditching the ombre for a bright blonde.

Real Techniques Brushes
My all time favourite brushes are Real Techniques since they are overall the best on the market if you take into consideration quality and the small price you pay for them. I always buy my Real Techniques brushes from iHerb.com since they sell them for US prices and if you use code QAB322 you can get 25% off! So that's $5 off orders over $20 and $10 off orders over $40.

ELEVARE SHOWER FOOT REST REVIEW - YOUR NEW SHOWER ESSENTIAL

Us girls have a lot to do in the shower and between shaving, exfoliating, fake tanning and moisturising, we do a lot of bending and straining. That's why I was so excited when I found a product specifically designed to improve our shower experience. The Elevare Shower Foot Rest simply applies to the corner of your shower and provides you with a convenient step to make those shower chores easier for you. I've labelled this the product I've always looked for because it's a solution to an everyday problem of struggling in the shower.

 

KORRES LIP BUTTER REVIEW "JASMINE"

Lip balm is definitely an everyday essential for me to keep my lips hydrated and smooth since there is nothing worse than dry or cracked lips. Needless to say, I love a good lip balm and after seeing this Korres one on so many beauty blogs I thought it was about time I got my hands on it. As a huge EOS fan, I wasn't sure how this would compare especially because the application is much trickier but we will get to that later in the review.

A buttery lip balm that melts on the lips and offers a shiny, tinted finish. The combination of shea butter and rice wax offers deep hydration and softness, ideal for chapped lips.

EDWARD BESS DEEP SHINE LIP GLOSS REVIEW

Although I'm a true lipstick girl at heart, I can never go past a good gloss to top my favourite lippies with. Sometimes that shine can pull a whole makeup look together and it's always an interesting element to add whether it be to alter the texture or colour. I was online shopping a few weeks ago (what's new?) and came across Edward Bess and their amazing range of deep shine lip glosses. The sleek packaging and stunning candy hues pulled me in and I decided to order just one to give it a go. I could have easily clicked "add to cart" on nearly every single one of the colours but wanted to play it safe in case I disliked the texture, scent or overall quality.
