Hey there beauties! So, another week has passed (and passed very quickly might I add) which means another beauty segment here on Marina Writes Life and, trust me, today's post is one I've been meaning to publish for a while now but, hey ho, finally the time has come!
As the weather is begins to get hotter (well, in most countries...) and the sun finally comes out to play, I, myself, think that a change of makeup routine is 100% appropriate - I simply cannot continue sticking to the same ritual that I follow during Winter and early Spring.
Hi there babes, I know it's been a while so I'd firstly like to apologise for my leave of absence (exam period has been absolutely CRAZY) - I honestly can't forgive myself for depriving you guys of your weekly makeup and skincare fix for so long! However, you'll be happy to hear that I'm back now and I won't be going ANYWHERE, so sit down and get comfy because we're coming back with a bang. And, by that, I mean some new, unreleased makeup (that's right - you'll see it here first!) from one of my favourite brands, as you may well know by now if you've read my haul and recent palette unboxing post from them, Labelle Makeup.
Being a woman (or should I say 'girl') of colour, I do sometimes struggle with certain cosmetics brands not providing enough variety in terms of shade range to match and suit darker skintones. And, quite frankly, it pisses me off bothers me a great deal, as EVERYONE, regardless of how light or dark an individual happens to be, has the right to feel beautiful. That, ladies and gentlemen, is why the brand new range B:UNDENIABLE by Brysocréma stole my heart the minute I read the description.
Now, at this point, I've been asked numerous times about where exactly it is that I source my more affordable cosmetics and haircare products. Well, the truth is, Just Essentials is the site that I resort to nine times out of ten.
Unless you've been living under a rock for the last while, you'll all know about the obsession for Korean beauty products that's taken the world by STORM. And I, myself, happen to be a part of that huge fan base - I am 100% for K-Beauty and in love with the new products I've been discovering. However, the question of where to source these babies is always an interesting one... Well, not until I came across the amazing Style Korean.
Yes, it's time for you guys' favourite segment of all: my monthly beauty favourites! (woop woop!) I've been testing and trying out a lot of new goodies this month and I'm absolutely buzzing (a little bit Geordie there) to share my picks with you!
As you guys know, I love makeup. But, what's better than makeup, you may ask? Well the answer to that one is simple: DISCOUNTED MAKEUP!
After last month's beauty favourites post became my most popular blogpost of all time (thank you so much!), I decided that I simply had to bring it back this month and give you guys something I know you'll enjoy!
After scrolling past Technic Cosmetics so many times on Ebay during my frequent online shopping sprees, I thought it was about time to give their makeup a go!
Jeez, that was a long title. But this post certainly deserves it, as we're going to discuss the newest palette collaboration on the market RIGHT NOW. Yes, that's right, your girl preordered the new BH Cosmetics X Carli Bybel Deluxe Edition Eyeshadow and Highlighter palette!
Over the past few years, we've all seen so many makeup trends enter and leave the game, but one that's never going to budge is highlighting and strobing; we just can't live without that glow. But do you want to know what products can help you blind like a goddess? Just keep on reading!
