Bag Collection ; Summer Crossbody's

Out of all the bag styles I've tried, i think cross body bags are definitely on my top favourites list.

Especially for spring/summer! they're just so much more convenient to carry around, plus they look so effortless and cute.

So here are my favourites :

Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac.

i love what a pop of colour this bag is. its 100% my go to bag this summer.

all my clothes are more or less neutral colours, so literally just adding this bag onto my outfit makes it so summer ready. i love it so much!

Studded crossbody from Forever 21 

I know, who is crazy enough to own 2 of the same bag?

well , heres the thing, i first bought the black one for mai , and i loved it so much (she was leaving the country)i bought the white one because they didnt have black.

On her recent trip back, because she knows how much i love the black one, she left it for me to use .

Satchel Crossbody, forever 21.

My little sister got me this bag for my birthday . 

i love this one when I'm feeling preppy. 

as well as when i need my iPad with me, it fits inside so nicely with so much room left.

Mint Green cross body, Mango.

I got this bag last summer, and honestly , despite wearing it soooo much, i will certainly keep wearing this one this year. 

Mint Green is just so lovely.

Gold/Silver Crossbody, Free from Maybelline.

I like this bag for those night outs , it matches everything and i feel like its quite summery.

I'm not a fan of metallics but this one is a good clutch !

Review ; Maybelline BB cream & FIT Concealer. ♡

There was so much hype going around about the Maybelline BB cream, so finally , i decided to give it a go, along with the new concealer.

I was mostly drawn into buying this BB cream, as an alternative to my benefit tinted moisturiser i reviewed here, because 

A. A LOT cheaper

&

B. it had some benefits i liked..

The BB cream, claims to :

1. Create a natural glow

It certainly did not give me a natural glow, more than anything i felt like it made me look powdery..

2. Compliment skin tone

it made me look lighter, and yes i made sure this is my shade..

3.SPF 30 UV protection

i guess it does have that advantage.

4.Hydrates all day

Didn't at all feel like it gave me that feeling, i felt like it was so dry!

5.Blurs imperfections

Not really..

6. Oil-free,Non-greasy

i think it did this one quite well..

7. Looks visibly smooth

not really.. it looked powdery on me

8. Feels fresh

not at all.. i couldn't wait till i got it off, it felt so suffocating.

honestly, i wore this product 4 times to give it chances to impress, but after that now I'm sure i will never wear it again. thank god it was not that expensive, so i don't feel super bad. 

Ive heard rimmel has a BB cream too, so maybe ill give that a go, but for now I'm sticking to my tinted moisturiser by Benefit, because it literally feels amazing!

Another thing i bought was the FIT concealer, and To be honest, 

i love this one.

 I used to user Rimmel's match perfect concealer, but this one is so much nicer, 

blends so easily, 

feels so smooth, 

and doesn't at all crease in the under eye. 

it also lasts quite a while, and a small bit goes all the way. 

i would totally buy it again for sure!

I was also lucky that day, as maybelline had a "buy 3 get a free bag" offer.. i thought they'd give me one of those makeup bags, so i bought a baby lips chapstick (it was the cheapest) , and was actually surprised i got given such a pretty rosegold-silver cross body bag.

its so cute and perfect for summer.. I'm actually impressed maybelline.

PS: Just because the BB cream failed me, doesn't mean I'm not a fan of maybelline anymore. i love them.. its just this one product failed me..

tell me your thoughts on it ?

Everyday Natural Makeup look

So, i'm kind of known for keeping my makeup SUPER simple..

especially, with the fact that I've only properly started with makeup a few months ago

and thats why, i like to keep it SUPER NATURAL looking! i hate looking like i have anything on!

Maybelline FIT concealer

Benefit Tinted moisturiser 

Rimmel mascara 

bareMinerals blush in "The French kiss" 

Blush brush by Sephora "49"

I love those 2 lipstick shades so much, because they don't make me look like i have anything on, like the colours are so close to my lips, it kind of just makes my lips look a little redder and healthier, with a shine, but without making it seem like i have anything on.. i love lipsticks in natural to my lip colour shades.

MAC Lipstick in "Plumful"

YSL rouge pur couture 9' "305" 

They both feel kind of the same, but i think i prefer the mac one, it has a yummier smell!

On some days, i like to just have a lip balm, so these are my favourite!

EOS Lipbalm in strawberry

Body Shop Lipbalm in strawberry

Thank you! tell me what you wear <3

Nighttime Routine ; Holiday Edition.

So here is my nighttime routine.. well, when I'm on holiday atleast.

Literally though , the first i love to do is, take off my lenses. damn they dry out my eyes!

Then i move on with a shower,

The products i'm currently using are by TRESemmé

Then, considering i just got my second piercing , i make sure i actually clean it!

After that i have to have to have to wash my face with Neutrogena's face wash.

it's literally the ONLY thing i find effective on my face!

After washing my face, i find my hands feeling super super dry.

so, my current favourite hand lotion is the "sympathy for the skin" lotion by LUSH.

and HYDRATE DEM LIPS.

And then finally , i literally sit in front of my laptop for a good 3 hours.... but lets be honest here... who doesn't?

and that is alll

i do hope you've enjoyed reading this :D
