MÁDARA City CC Anti-Pollution CC Cream // review

  MÁDARA City CC Anti-Pollution CC Cream SPF 15, Light Beige - 40ml (RRP €27) This anti-pollution CC cream corrects all skin tone imperfections, including dullness, redness, sallowness and dark spots. It's very light in texture and gives a nice natural coverage. As it shields the skin from urban toxins and heavy metals that clog pores and damage and inflame the skin, this CC cream is literally perfect for the life in the city. It contains hyaluronic acid, which should be deeply hydrating but unfortunately I feel like it's still not doing enough for me, so I apply it over my daily moisturiser. I also like to mix it into my liquid highlighter to get a creamier consistency and to make the application of my highlighter easier.  The SPF15 coverage is perfect for me here in UK. At first, my super sensitive skin can't handle much on my face, and secondly I am naturally quite tanned and don't burn very easily. If they ever change the formula though, I would love t...

New in // skin care and make up

I've been looking for a face serum and body oil, as it has been a while since I bought any skin care or make up products. My mum has been ordering from Dermoshop for years and recommended a few of their products, so I put together an order. Dermosil Nature Body Oil - 100ml (RRP € 10.90 ) This body oil was recommended to me by mum. She has tried almost every product from Dermoshop and swears by this body oil. I am not too keen on big scents but this has a light natural citrus scent which I like. It contains sunflower, jojoba, avocado, blackcurrant seed oils and rosemary leaf extract. All of these ingredients are from a natural origin and are organic which makes this body oil even more loveable. Dermosil Faces Skin Balancing Serum - 30ml (RRP € 13.50) This serum is best for oily or combination skin as it keeps the skin fresh and gives it a matte finish. I have used this a few times now and it's very nice on the face, it absorbs quickly and it doesn't leave the...

What's in my make up bag / Rome edition

Tristan, his two friends and I are leaving on our holiday to Rome in a few hours. I've never been to Italy, I am really excited as I have read that Rome is beautiful at this time of the year. It will be quite hot (about 30 degrees) and I am sure we'll be doing a lot of walking around the city. Heat and make up don't always work well on my oily skin but I just couldn't resist not taking any make up with me. I won't be wearing much make up during the day but we will still go out in the evenings, so it would be nice to give my eyes a bit of colour. I recently bought a Barry M Shadow & Glow Summer Love Palette for £7. It was such a bargain and the palette is made up of beautiful summer colours. I'll be using this once we reach Rome and will be reviewing it later.   My L'Oreal Nude Magique Anti-Redness CC Cream will be coming with me to give my face a bit of coverage when I need it. I've not used it very much so far, so I'm hoping it is useful. It...

Make up organisers

Hi everybody! Here are a few pictures of how I have been organising my make up lately. I like keeping my beauty products in their bags but I think it makes my make up shelf look so much nicer using these clear organisers.  The make up organiser on the right was ordered from Amazon. It is pretty small, with only two draws but I think it is a good size for me. I use this organiser mostly for my everyday cosmetics and things I need. I paid about £15 for this organiser and I think it is a lovely little piece to have.  The organiser on the left was bought from TK Maxx for £5. I think it is a holder for nail polishes but I also use it for oils and other beauty stuff.
