Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment in Crème Brûlée review
I absolutely love a glossy lip balm and I have to say this formula really does tick the boxes. It is thick enough to really stay on the lips, but doesn’t feel heavy or sticky.
It is really easy to apply and gives lips such a beautiful, juicy shine. This new Crème Brûlée is so wearable and flattering. It’s perfect for a soft nude look, and if you want it to look more makeup-y, it pairs beautifully with any nude-toned lip liner.
Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment applicator
The applicator is great which make reapplying on the go a cinch. Plus, the colour is sheer enough to be able to do top ups without a mirror.
The formula has a lovely smoothing effect and tackles any dryness of flakiness really quickly! Now I just need to try the other shades!

hey hey everyone, I hope all is well! Today I want to speak about a few of my fav facewashes that are suitable for all skintypes. I’ve used a lot of face washes but these are my top 4
Garnier Deep Hydrating Cleanser £9.99
I love Garnier and their cleansers are one of the best in the budget range. Whilst this one is slightly higher than the rest of the cleansers, the massive 250ml size will last you a long time, mine lasted at least 6 months! This one is great for all skintypes and good for the maintaining the skin barrier
Tatcha Rice Wash £18
Tatcha, Tatcha, Tatcha! I really fell in love with the brand earlier this year and I haven’t looked back! In particular this rice wash is 100% worth the hype. It’s hydrating, leaves the skin soft and smooth and clean without stripping it. This cleanser really changed my stance on using ‘expensive’ cleansers, £18 is pricey but its worth it. I love the creamy texture of the cleanser too. If £18 is too high, the travel size lasts really long too. Tatcha have great gift sets at great prices and good for testing the brand before fully investing in it
Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facewash £8.50
I think this was the first item I tried from Elemis that put this brand on my radar! This is great for smoothing the skin leaving it more radiant. A great and gentle way to add chemical exfoliation to your routine.
Cerave Smoothing face wash £14.50
Cerave have a lot of fans in the community so it was only right I added a facewash from them. I think this is only the one I have used from them. I’m not sure of the BHA conc in here but I dont think its too high. Still it gets the job done and leaves the skin smoother and pores/texture reduced.

I love the original CC Cream from IT Cosmetics, so I was keen to try out the new natural matte version. Here’s the lowdown on IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream Natural Matte SPF40.
What is IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream Natural Matte?

My Review
IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream Natural Matte SPF40 packaging
Although I am really more of a glowy finish kind of girl, I have to say there are times when I appreciate a soft matte formula, especially in the summer time. The idea of a natural matte, is all about a natural looking skin finish, that isn’t flat, and as I like to use other products to give me glow, I find they can really work for my combination skin.
This is certainly the case with the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC Cream Natural Matte SPF40. Applied over my Vitamin C serum and SPF50, it still allows a natural looking radiance to the skin yet has a soft blurring effect on pores and texture.
A little goes a long way because the formula has satisfyingly high coverage, and it tackles redness and uneven tone swiftly with minimal effort. I use my REESON No. 1 Brush* to buff and blend and it works perfectly with it.
It lasts really well on my skin, and feels very comfortable and light. It really is a great option for the warmer weather, especially with its SPF40. Although having said that, I don’t need to use that much product to get the finish I want, so I make sure I use my proper dose of SPF50 underneath.
All in all, I am very pleased with this.

My Review of the Monika Blunder Mascara
Monika Blunder Beauty Architect Eyes Buildable Mascara – Black and Brown
I am always on the hunt for a good Brown mascara. I absolutely love the Tower 28 one (review here) but it isn’t yet available in the UK as far as I know.
I have only tested the brown shade in this mascara so far, and I think it’s great. The shade is really good. It’s a rich brown, that’s deep enough to really define the lashes and eyes, but it just gives more softness than black. It’s a subtle difference, however, I find it really flattering especially if you’re a bit older like me.
The brush is great. It makes it really easy to grab and extend each lash, and the formula feels really lightweight and comfortable to wear. It isn’t waterproof or water resistant, so avoid water or crying (!), but it holds in place really well, and the lashes stay defined and lifted.
The smoothness of the formula means you can top up later in the day quite easily and I love that there’s lash conditioning ingredients in there.
