Photo diary // South of France

Hello lovelies,

Whilst I am writing this I should be unpacking my mountain of holiday clothes but the thought of all that washing is just too much! Yesterday I got back from my family holiday to Saint-Aulaye in the south of France so I thought I'd do another one of my photo diary posts as my others have been really popular with you all. 

Saint-Aulaye is a beautiful little village in the countryside of France. Luckily the weather was absolutely beautiful and I was able to explore the surrounding villages.  I also made sure I took loads of outfit pictures so they will be coming soon in another blogpost all about my outfit choices throughout the holiday!

Hope you enjoy my snap-shots! 

An adorable snack-shack in the centre of Saint-Aulaye which made the most amazing crepes.

Found a tiny little family run bakery. The owner made these amazing croissants. 

Riberic had a chocolatier that sold these macaroons.

They also sold loads of different sweet treats!

Outside they had an old fashioned ice cream cart that sold loads of different ice cream flavours.

A beautiful snap of Saint-Aulaye's main street.

One of the villages we drove through on our way home.

Saint-Aulaye had a huge river that they decided to make into a beach.

One of the surrounding villages called Riberic.

Me and Ciar by the river.

Another beautiful scenic photograph in our village. The photos do not do the place justice.

Purple Lips // Too Faced Melted Metal

Hello lovelies,

I've never had the chance to try any of 'Too Faced' make up ranges but was lucky enough to find these two melted metal lipsticks in my local TK-Maxx in the shades Jelly and Violet. Both shades are purple toned and are 100% statement lips. I definitely recommend popping into TK-Maxx to see if they have any high end products in stock because I picked up these for under £10 and they normally retail at £19 and can be found here.

The lipsticks are a liquid version of a metallic lipstick and come with a sponge applicator on the end of the tube for an easy application. They leave lips looked glazed which is something not everyone loves but I think looks so 90's and love it! Also, because of this they don't dry out the lips at all and feel totally comfortable. 

Top: Metallic Violet

Bottom: Metallic Jelly

Both of these shades are really pigmented however I find with the shade 'Violet' I do have to reapply a few times throughout the day because it is a lot lighter looking on the lips than in this swatch. The bottom shade lasts so much longer because it leaves a more subtle stain if applied just once. 

I am in love with purple lips at the moment! Has anyone else tried any Too Faced cosmetics before? I'd love to check out more of their stuff <3

Love B x

Maybelline Master Contour V // Review

Contouring can be scary. I'm always worried I'll end up having two browny/orange lines down the sides of my face and a super shiny forehead. I've always stuck to using powder contour kits and ones that are quite light but this one is a complete game changer!

Let's chat about the actual look of the product first. I love how chubby the stick itself is. It's not too big so pops into a makeup with ease. I also love the idea of having the contour colour one side and the highlighter the other side. The colours are both really pigmented! I picked up the shade fair! It's £6.99 which is so cheap considering its a duo stick. You can pick it up here from Boots.

It is so creamy and glides on the skin perfectly. It leaves a matte finish which I love because sometimes I find contouring can leave you looking a bit shiny and over the top. As it's so creamy you can blend it in really well because when you first apply I will warn you it can look a bit scary! You can either draw it on where you want then blend with your fingers or do what I do which is use a beauty blender. Either works fine!

Has anyone else tried this product or any other new contour products recently?

Love B x

Makeup Revolution // Golden Sugar Palette

The Golden Sugar Ultra Blush Palette was released at the beginning of this year and is one of three Makeup Revolution's Ultra Blush palettes. All of the palettes cost £6.00 each which is amazing considering they contain 8 different blush, bronze and highlight colours.

I am completely in love with the three bronze colours in this palette as I feel they really suit my skin tone. They are all completely different shades and finish. One has a shimmery glow to it as it contains some highlight which looks amazing on the tops of my cheek bones. I am a sucker when it comes to the matte shade as it reminds me of Benefits 'Hoola'.

The blushes are very light on the skin and aren't as pigmented as I normally go for. This means you have to build up the colour on your cheek by reapplying the shade. I love the dusty pink colour. I looks very natural on the skin unlike darker pinks which don't suit me as well.

The highlighters in this palette are gorgeous and really make a difference in my complexion. I feel the slightly bronzed highlighter works best as it doesn't leave the dreaded white line across my cheek! (Yes I have been a victim of this is many of my early nights out-.-)

Over all the palette is beautiful and I am definitely going back to Superdrug to pick up some more. The value for money you get with the Makeup Revolution items is astonishing. They are such good quality for such a little price! My fav.

Any Makeup Revolution beauty finds you've tried? Let me know in the comments!
