Glossier Haloscope and Cloud paint (Topaz x Haze)

Friday, 20 April 2018













I've ordered from glossier before and even if you aren't interested in the brand you gotta give props to their marketing team. They've capitalized very well of a much loved concept, clean,fresh and dewy skin I mean who can resist that!
My first purchase of glossier was the stretch concealer and I loved it albeit the rubbish shade range( I will rant about shade ranges till I die !). I decided to buy a blush and highlighter after hitting pan on my sleek Cleopatra kit,I love liquid highlighter like the body shop drops(my absolute favs) so I though the stick would be similar. 
I also really wanted to embrace blush this spring/summer because I adore other black gals who wear blush It just compliments your makeup and brings any look together.
Topaz is a nice dark bronze shade perfect for any black girl its very sheer and oily kinda like a lip balmy texture which at first I hated I felt like I was applying glue on my cheeks. What I came to learn was that haloscope is designed for fingers, It blended beautifully once i started to use my fingers instead of a sponge. However I still think the product could be better firstly the color and actual product is nice if it was in a liquid form and a bottle it would be worth the £18 that I spent.
I'd still recommend it if you can push past the texture and application ! especially on bare skin with a little concealer on my face it truly makes me feel like their models on their campaigns.
The blush is probably my favorite of the two,firstly it's liquid(Yay). You also get a lot of pigment which you have to be careful with and it blends out like a dream as well as setting into the skin. With pretty much little transfer which is great since I'm an oily gal.

Tatcha Skincare (Brand overview)

Tuesday, 3 April 2018


Tatcha is a brand that has  received a lot of love from big  you-tubers. I've never been  drawn to the brand partly due  to the fact I like to spend more  money on treatments items  rather than cleansers and  moisturizers.But since my mother got me these I couldn't complain! I've been using the   moisturizer and cleanser for  the past week and have had mixed feelings.

let me me begin with the cleanser I was so confused with trying to squeeze this out it's thick and the packaging doesn't really suit the texture of the product. The cleanser itself also has small elements of beads to exfoliate. I personally like using acid toners to scrub but I didn't mind it. My skin felt pretty great after and super smooth but I decided it worked better as a PM cleanser after a full day of make up and I'm in need of a deep cleanse.

Moisturizers are very boring products for me to use as long my skin is hydrated and not ashy I'm good to go. I've never bought an expensive moisturizer and don't plan to either I find moisturizers for combination skin pretty straight forward;lightweight and matte!
This moisturizer made my skin so dewy and a gal loves to look dewy let me tell you that. I also found it made my makeup go on so nicely there's time were my moisturizer messes up my makeup making my foundation look odd and not skin like.
This one however made my skin hydrated whilst not too oily which is great for my combination skin. I would highly recommend it to my oily girls too.

Any more tatcha products I should try let me know !
