My Skincare Regime (For the PM) for Dry Skin.

 Hello everyone,


Last post of the year. To think we all been through so much in 2020. Let's end with a positive outcome and reflect on things we can do better in the future. As we lead on to a New year, I wanted to share my skincare routine for the evening.

Disclaimer- I am not a skincare expert or a Esthetician. All these products work for my dry skin, so these products work for me but may not work the same on you. You are able to click on the links to see what ingredients these products have and whether you can try them out or not.

1. OSKIA

Recommended for dry skin and acne prone skin. The vitamin B2, C, and E cleansing gel helps revitalise, strengthen and illuminates your face. I use 4 pumps of this and put it on bare skin and massage in then use the some water to emulsify the gel on my face. Wipe it of with water and a warm face cloth or a muslin cloth. 

2. WATERMELON ULTRA GLOW MIST

With 84% watermelon, hydraronic acid and hibiscus flower AHA this sutle glow mist hydrates the face in minutes and gives it a nice glow on clean skin or after applying makeup.

3. WATERMELON GLOW PHA AND BHA PORE TIGHT TONER 

I like to use the toner all over my face to get deep in my pores and the PHA, BHA along with hydroxy acid helps battle blackheads and make the skin smooth.

4. WATERMELON GLOW MOISTURISER 

The lightweight moisturizer is great for oily and dry skin skin. I use 3 pumps on the my face. It helps to hydrate skin after toning. 

5. FRESH ROSE DEEP HYDRATION FACE SERUM

This bad boy is the truly a refreshing and cooling serum. It's great for deep moisture and rehydrates dull and dry skin. 

6. WATERMELON GLOW SLEEPING MASK

Lastly the penultimate sleeping mask this stuff works like magic. Especially in the morning. Everytime I use this my face feels so soft in the morning. The gel formula softens, exfoliates and moisturises your face with its watermelon extracts. 


I want to wish you all a graceful, blessed and spectacular New year. Happy New year for 2021 everyone.

Mmmmitchell just did something here. Review on Made by Mitchell


Hello guys,


Random question, how many times do you see a post on a new eyeshadow palette or new makeup products coming out? Countless times. I know, it can be a little bit draining. We have all seen it before the same nude palette or neutral palette or even something similar that came out last year. When will there ever be something a little more out of this world.

Maybe I spoke to soon because Mmmmitchell has come out with a new launch named 'Made by Mitchell'. I was screaming with joy when I found out he was making a some new makeup products and yes I ordered straight away with no hesitation. Mmmmitchell is known for his exquisite artistry as an makeup artist and fun vibrant makeup looks. 

If you are interested to see his collection and website click here.

I managed to purchase on the first round with no issues (everything is restocked). I snapped up the Feet on the Ground palette and a liquid blush which he called it 'Blursh'. Palettes cost £40 and blush retails for £14. 




The pigment from the eyeshadow palette are extraordinary. I particularly like the shade 'Tigerlily' such a great pigmented orange shade I have never come across before. Only one colour in the palette that needed a little more pigment and it was the shade 'Ammmmo'. Overall I rate the eyeshadow palette a 9.5 out of 10 and the creamy liquid blush is a dream to put on. I recommend putting this on before putting translucent powder on or any other powder. The peach shade is such a universal shade. I rate it a 8 out of 10.

Note: Delivery took one week and a bit after purchasing on the 25th of October. I received my items on the 11th of November (missed it on the 10th). As most things are back in stock delivery and confirmation emails could be a little quicker now. Although there is a Black Friday sale at the moment, so I am not sure.

Here are some swatches and photos of the products: 













Until next time. Follow me on Twitter or Instagram, let's connect.

NEW FROM FENTY BEAUTY

 Hey all,

Have you heard about the new mini holiday collection from Fenty Beauty?

If not you may want to check this out. 


Fenty Beauty has finally launched another mini gloss bomb set and two new mini stunna lip  paints. So if you are looking to gift yourself, try them out for the first time or gift someone for Christmas or their birthday then this is something great to purchase.

I've always been that type of person that prefers to purchase full size products. But sometimes its a better option to try new products out in the mini size to see if you want to continue using it or not and it doesn't break the bank so much. These minis are great to pack for travelling or on the go.

All the glosses apart from Cake shake are very much just like fenty glow when it comes to consistency. Cake shake has more of a sticky and thick consistency but the bronzy shade would pair well on brown and deeper skin tones. I think all the glosses will look amazing on everyone. On the other hand the lip paints I would say you would need to dip twice to get the perfect coverage on your lips, but overall they work just as well as the bigger lip paints. 

Rating 8.5/10

Mini glossy posse Holo Daze Gloss bombs (retail for $36 or £30) 5.5ml 0.18 FL OZ





Duo mini stunna lip paints (retails for $25 or £22) 2ml 0.06 FL OZ



Did a comparison between the shades unmatched and uncensored. Top left Underrated, left unmatched and bottom uncensored.

Did you say Anti-theft bag? High Spirit London

 

Hello guys,

I love filling you all with the latest products out here and especially small businesses that we all can support. So in July I came across a few black owned businesses, particularly on black pound day. I stumbled across on social media a brand named High Spirit bags London. Now I watched a few video's and looked at their website and guess what I was completely sold. The main reason I was scrolling through their page is simply because I need a new bag and somehow their bags caught my eye.

If you are looking for a innovative rucksack or backpack then High Spirit London might be the place to shop at online. First off they ship internationally and its free delivery from what I have seen (although fast shipping with DHL express is £20). High Spirit London is an family business who have been around for 8 years now.

You're probably thinking which backpack would be most practical for your everyday or travelling trips? Well there are quite a few to choose from but the two that caught my eyes the most were the Midnight ostrich Anti-theft backpack and the New edition laptop backpack. You can also view more styles on the website. Click here

I purchased the Midnight ostrich Anti-theft backpack (It was £100 but now £120) which you will see in my video. Let me spare you the boring parts and let you know a few details about this backpack:

  • Water Resistant
  • Leather exterior 
  • Gold plated engraved logo
  • Fits a 13" laptop
  • Quilted back
  • Red interior 
  • Sturdy straps that are adjustable 
  • As mentioned within zip compartment at the back
  • Lastly guard edges and frame strucutred to keep the bags shape.

I used code NTV20 from Nicole's Channel.

I hope I gave you enough insight on High Spirit bags London. Which one will you choose?

ELF COSMETICS VS FENTY BEAUTY!


Hey guys,

Before I start go and check out another small black owned business Yeye Mi. They sell handmade African print bonnets, face masks and also other beauty favourites. 
Click here: Yeye Mi
Mentioned in my current video.

So how are we all doing? I am coming to terms with things gradually getting back to normal, but we still have a lot to fix over here in the UK and around the world. I wanted to try out the new beauty gem from Elf cosmetics from their new range the Retro paradise and compare to a Fenty Beauty product. Let's get ready because I will be testing the Retro paradise Body oil in golden hour against the Fenty Beauty Body Lava in Brown Sugar.

Watch video:


Verdict please... I have to say the Golden hour is absolutely incredible for a whooping £12. Its cruelty free, smells like a tropical paradise (passionfruit), perfect shine and shimmer. My only concern is the bottle is plastic and I know I won't be able to use it all the time. The body oil is very runny and liquidity, be careful not to over do it. I would love to do a wear test for 12 hours and give you all an update in a couple of weeks.
 
When it comes to preserving my products for a while (I have had the fenty for about 2 years) the Fenty Beauty wins. It smells like luxury and gives your body a perfect bronze glow making it look like you have had a glow from within or a tan to your shoulders, legs or body. The price for this is £46 considering its lasted me long its not bad. Only con is it can be feel sticky. However, make sure to apply to places on your body where needed because these type of products can transfer. Cruelty free to.

I recommend the brushes especially the Elf cosmetics body one. Super soft and only £10. Then the angled Fenty Beauty Kabuki brush pairs perfectly with the Body lava. Retailing for £26.

If you cannot deal with shimmer then these products I would not recommend. 

Ratings for both Golden hour and Brown Sugar 9.5/10.



Which one would you choose? Let me know

Trying out Kulture pops.

Hey guys,


From the the title of this you are probably thinking what is Kulture Pops?

Kulture Pops is a small innovative business who started selling the ice pops in 2018 through to 2019 at events. Then eventually decided to sell online. They are alcoholic ice lollies which would be great for Summer parties, carnival, bbq's and other events.


I actually came across it on someone's YouTube channel. I thought they look very appetising and I definitely want to try them out. What better way to try them out with a guest (my brother).So we hope you enjoy the video of us trying the Kulture pop's ice lollies and see our reactions.

Remember drink responsibly. For 18 and over. Only available for UK customers. Website below. 

I will hopefully do another video to promote international small businesses soon.
