Refresh Me | Why Rimmel's #Insta Primer & Setting Spray Is Also A Great Daily Face Freshener

Before I travel back to medical school, I always run around getting my last minute bits and bobs. I usually try and find a nearest boots or a superdrug because it usually has all the drugstore things I need (..superdrug is usually cheaper).

It's so funny because travelling back and forth all the time means that I'm always trying to juggle my things between two homes and I end up forgetting something behind. So I usually make sure to grab extra wipes, cotton pads, toothbrushes... and I look for 3 for 2 deals for my eylure eyebrow pencils lol. While looking through the makeup isle, I came across the #Insta Fix & Go by Rimmel, it caught my attention because I recently saw a review of it in a youtube video. As soon as I saw it, I thought hmm.. I'm definitely trying this out!

How to Get Glowy Skin With MAC's Extra Dimension Skinfinish Highlighter (Review)

I am back with another makeup review! Have you noticed? My blog has changed quite a bit! I've decided to add some posts of inspiration and an advice column because I get a lot of questions about this kind of stuff! But not to worry, I still love writing about makeup and skincare, and it'll definitely be a once a week thing (on Sundays)!  So nothings changed with that, but my blog has been growing..  which I am very excited about! Anywho lets get to the review, today, I will be talking about this new bad boy highlighter by Mac Cosmetics! 

What No One Tells You About Using Makeup On Acne

I have been recently watching a lot of makeup tutorials for hyperpigmentation and acne prone skin on youtube. And after watching a full face beat/ tutorial, I am amazed at how these self-taught makeup artists conceal their imperfections. It often reminds me of why I was inspired to start 'The Science Behind Beauty', because I really wanted a platform, where I could help people look at the science behind skin and tackle a lot of these skincare problems. 

Now I Understand Why There Is Skincare For Darker Skin

So I'm sure many of you are probably wondering why I am so passionate about teaching people about skincare. And as much as I love teaching and writing about skincare, I also love exploring the thin line between medicine and beauty world. Although both sides have the same goal in mind, in that they have their special ways of making us feel better about our body. They also show us a completely different perspective and focus on how to use products to work best for us. Studying medicine and the natural sciences for many years, has really shown me this difference. And I have really started to uncover skin as more than just outer 'beauty' but as a part of our inner health.

What's Better For Your Warm Undertone? Nars Luminous Weightless Foundation vs MAC Studio Fix (Review)

I bought the Nars All Day Luminous Weightless foundation about 6 months ago because I literally saw it everywhere online, so many people were either using the Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation or the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation. I was looking for a new foundation anyway, so I thought I'd give it a try. I wanted to buy it online, but I didn't actually know what colour I was, so I went to look back at the youtube videos of my favourite bloggers Patricia Bright, Jennie Jenkins (aka Beauty by JJ) and Chanel Ambrose who pretty much have the same complexion as mine and they were actually using the shade 'Benares'. 

And of course, when I received it, it wasn't exactly my shade, it was a tad bit darker than my skin complexion. I was so gutted, because I ordered it to Romania, so there was no way I could send it back. But hey, I had to work with it by doing more highlighting and can definitely say it is an amazing foundation and it has the best coverage.
