Late with this. Sorry. I honestly thought that we had another couple of weeks left in August – I’m appear to be stuck in a kind of time-warp at the moment! This month’s favourite products seem to be following a kind of “perfect skin” theme – completely unintentional – with a gorgeous glow serum (see full review here) as well as a skin-blurring pre-foundation fluid and a very good full-coverage base. Have a look – I filmed this with very minimal daylight and no extra lighting at all, so you can really see how the products get to work with creating the ultimate skin glow. Of particular note is the NIOD Photography Fluid, which just creates the most amazingly flawless base – I’ll be reviewing it properly soon, but you can find it online here if you want to read more.

My Go To Style!

Hi Makeup Geeks!

I wanted to do a fun video showing you my everyday look including hair, clothes, and makeup! I know some of the looks I do in my videos aren’t something I would wear on a daily basis, so this will give you an idea of what I typically wear when just going to work.  This look takes very little time so is perfect when you are in a hurry but still want to look great.

I get so many questions from you all about my nails! I get gel tips done, so I never really know what color she uses (I just walk in and point to the one I want :) ). This time I had my nail technician do an ombre look with a soft pink going into the white at the tips. I have no idea what the names of the shades are, but if you want something similar, just bring in a picture and they can do whatever style or color you like. When I do use nail polishes on my nails, I like the Essie ones.  Two of my favorite colors are “Muchi Muchi” which is a soft pink, or “Off The Shoulder” which is a brighter pink.
