BURN BABY BURN - MY FAVOURITE CANDLES

When I am stressed and I need to shut down at the end of the day and drift off into a peaceful abyss, something I like to do is light candles. For me, a candle can take away the woes of the way, and as I sit back, relax, and light the wick, I feel my worries slip away as the wax melts and the flame thickens.

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeasy - Laura Mercier Metallic Creme Eye Colour

Hey there beauty babes and welcome back to another exciting post.

Well... exciting for some.

Today I'm talking about the Laura Mercier Metallic Creme Eye Colour and the colour in question is Rose Gold.

The reason that I've dedicated a whole blog post to this one colour is because it is just so damn beautiful. You can bet that whenever I wear this little tube of wonder on my eyes, everyone notices and everyone compliments it.

Creme Eye Liner Made Easy

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. That's what this blog post is. 

Laura Mercier's Creme Eyeliner in Graphite has made life easy. As a make-up lover, I have a confession. I am RUBBISH and I mean rubbish at eye liner. Kohl, I can do, but gel/liquid, is a big fat no. 

So this is where the Creme Eyeliner comes into play. First of all it is dreamy and creamy and all things good. It is a great consistency - not too wet, and not too dry, which makes it easy for that swipe on across the lid.

A Body SOS.

What products do you grab when you are in need of a pick me up? Meet mine.

Here are my go-to products when I'm feeling a little funky! This morning, my body was itchy, my hair resembled candy floss and my face was dull. G R E A T! So instead of wallowing in my own self-loathing, I decided to grab my favourite products to ban these blighters and run myself a bath!

Powder Puff.

Aloha beauty babes!

I am currently standing on a packed train with an armpit in my face and a belly in my back, and things are starting to get a little shiny, so let's talk powder.

The Cheek of It!

Let's talk about cheeks. Cheeks. Cheeks. Cheeks.

I have stumbled across Laura Mercier Creme Cheek Colour in Praline, and oh my my it is amazing.

Mamma knows best...

So there I was.. strolling.. (I mean sneaking) around my mum's bedroom and alas... I came across a delightful sight.... her make-up collection. *que angels singing*.

There comes a time in a girl's life where we all need to fess up that mamma's do, infact, know best. So I digress... Let's take a look into my mum's perfectly organised make-up collection, and find out what the old gal has to offer!

My mum is a b-e-a-utiful, no make-up kind of gal, yet she has some glories worth sharing. I asked her her top three must haves and here they are:

1) Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Lipsticks - 'I like these because they are matte, yet they aren't drying on my lips. They also stay on really well and don't bleed'. 

2) Laura Mercier Secret Concealer - 'I like this because it has a creamy texture which is great for under my eyes as it isn't drying, and the pink tones in it counteract any bags really well'.

3) Rimmel Sun Shimmer Bronzer - 'It does just what it says. I like the bronze with a subtle sparkle to reflect the light... and there's not too much shimmer to make me look like i'm going clubbing!'.

I always find it really interesting (because i'm nosey) to rummage through other people's makeup, and I thought this would be a really nice and quick sneak peak blog! I love you mama! 

Enjoy! 

Love Ema.xo
