BENEFIT PRODUCTS WORTH REPURCHASING

I have tried my fair share of Benefit products and while they're amazing for the most part, there are some that shine above the rest and I would consider the best Benefit products.

 
These are my favourite Benefit products that I will continue to repurchase so you bet your bottom dollar that you could take these as recommendations since I do love them so much.

K LUXE LASHES - THE NATURAL EDIT

 

I am all about those natural lashes that dramatize length and volume but still leave you questioning if I'm wearing falsies or if I was just blessed with naturally stunning lashes.

 
The answer of course is no, I was definitely not given much to work with in the eyelash department so for me, it's just fun to play around with luxe lashes for everyday wear...introducing K Luxe Lashes.

MY FAVOURITE DRY SHAMPOOS

We have all done it at least once. Woke up with the realisation that you forgot to wash your hair the night before and face the dilemma of quickly hopping in the shower but being late or heading out with a bad hair day.


Dry shampoo has saved me in this instance more times than I can count on my fingers. A few quick spritz into the roots is all that’s needed to revive, cleanse and volumise your crown with the bad hair day well out of sight. Since dry shampoo is one of my Holy Grail products, I have tried my fair share of brands and I’m here to share with you my three favourites.

THREE PRODUCTS EVERY GIRL NEEDS

We all have those few products we use on a daily basis and we feel that no look would be complete without.


Although I personally tend to pick up around 10 products when I do a full face of makeup, it’s nice to know that three can go a long way when you focus on each of your features. These are three products that I always have within reach when doing my makeup. I feel they can stand on their own and are able to complete a whole makeup look with just the three but are also crucial parts in my full makeup routine.

When going for the minimal makeup look, I like to focus on lashes, skin and brows since adding a bit of product to those three aspects can make a dramatic difference.

Urban Decay are famous for their eyeshadow palettes and with so many of them being cult classics (it's near impossible to flick to a beauty blog without there being a mention of "UD Naked"), how does their Shadow Box stack up against the rest?


With a dozen shades, each unique from the next. It's the perfect in-between for the girl who wants everything; including wearable nudes and bold colours.

MY HAIRCARE ROUTINE - REPAIR DAMAGED HAIR AND PROTECT BLONDE COLOUR

Shampoos, conditioners, treatments, hairsprays, heat protectants, oils...it's time to talk about everything hair and my care routine.

If you are blonde then you can probably relate to how many products go into maintaining the colour and repairing the bleach damage. So it's no surprise that my bathroom sink is filled with copious amounts of sprays and serums. I have tried a large chunk of what is out there on the market and these have become my favourites.

BEAUTY FOODS - EATING FOR BEAUTY

We often talk about skincare and makeup in terms of beauty but this time we are stopping to think about certain foods that can make us beautiful from the inside out.

 
Some of you may not know but I am a huge health and fitness nut and usually I would post these types of articles over on JordysFitness.com but I felt like this one related to beauty and it was worth sharing on here.

THE BEST OF BRITISH SKINCARE / OVERVIEW

If you are on the market for a luxurious and effective skincare range then look no further. Elemis is the best of British skincare and if you're willing to spend up big on the products, the results are well worth it.

This post is taking a look at four of the most popular products from Elelmis; their Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules, Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Facial Wash and Papaya Enzyme Peel. While I love a good skincare bargain from the drugstore, sometimes I dabble in high end products to see what the fuss is about. With price points ranging between $65 and $280, there's many options available depending on how much you want to spend on your skincare.

MY SKINCARE ROUTINE

 

Your skincare routine can become a balancing act, trying to get just the right amount of exfoliation, cleansing and hydrating.  


It also very much varies from person-to-person  as everyone has completely different skin. Nevertheless, I want to share my skincare routine with you because I feel like it may give you some idea of amazing products on the market that I love so much I use them daily or at least weekly. So let's get into talking about all the products I use in my night-time skincare routine.

COASTAL SCENTS REVEALED 3 PALETTE

From shimmery barbie pinks to matte taupes, this all encompassing palette has you covered no matter what look you are going for.


It's rare to come across a palette that shakes it up as much as Revealed 3 does since usually they are designed so that neutrals get their own palette for everyday looks and brights get their own palette for when you're feeling adventurous. Revealed 3 has a mixture of matte and shimmer, pastel and metallic, bright and muted...20 shades completely different to each other and I love the variety.
