Becca X Jaclyn Hill Champagne Splits

When Jaclyn Hill announced on Snapchat that, in collaboration with BECCA, she was releasing Champagne Splits - Split Pan Shimmering Skin Perfector/Mineral Blush combo's I was sold! Mimi is a huge fan of the original Champagne Pop (holy grail highligher status for her!) and the more recent BECCA X Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette (review here) therefore I was excited to get my hands on these new BECCA X Jaclyn Hill offerings. I registered on Sephora.com for the release day email notification and on release day I picked out my two favourites. Soon they were winging their way across the Atlantic towards my makeup collection!

Taylor Swift Lookbook

I am not ashamed to say that I have been a huge fan of Taylor Swift since her very early country days! I have always loved her style and have enjoyed seeing how much it has evolved over the years! I love to spend time scouring websites that describe the looks that some of my favourite celebrities are wearing in their everyday lives so I thought it would be so much fun to recreate some of my favourite recent Taylor Swift looks with outfits from the UK High Street! It was surprisingly easy to do and I was able to pick up most of the outfits to recreate the looks very inexpensively from Primark. I also found that l had some similar pieces in my wardrobe already so I was able to use them too!

I wasn't able to link the pieces since most of them are H&M or Primark and impossible to find online! However all the clothing is new so you should be able to pick it up in your local store!

Revlon Colorstay 2-in-1 Compact - Review

I have loved the original Revlon Colorstay Foundation since it was first released in the mid-90’s. I clearly remember the TV ads featuring Cindy Crawford demonstrating how the foundation didn’t transfer onto the white shirt of the very smart gentleman she was snuggling with! I was very excited earlier this year when it was released with a pump so imagine my delight when I discovered a brand new take on the Colorstay Foundation - the Colorstay 2-in-1 Compact Makeup and Concealer in my local Boots store! 

Colour Pop Haul

For a long time I had been dying to try some ColourPop lip products but unfortunately they don't deliver to the UK.** Therefore when we were in Orlando recently I took the opportunity to make an order from the brand!

Toyshades Glasses

 

As someone who has to wear glasses it can be difficult wearing the same accessory everyday with every outfit.  Although I also wear contact lenses I don't always feel like putting them in as sometimes my eyes can feel a bit irritated so I find myself reaching for glasses on an everyday basis. After hearing about Toyshades I couldn't wait to order from them and try them out.
