Welcome back, my friend! Today I’m delighted to share a makeup lover’s dream – it’s The English Mineral Makeup Company! And in this post I’m so excited to introduce the brand and show you how I achieve a flawless base with two English Mineral Makeup Company products – the Classic Foundation and the fabulous Mirror Mirror Eye Magic. Who is The English Mineral Makeup Company? Founded by mother and daughter duo Jeanette and Grace Burrows, you can expect 100% natural, vegan, and pure mineral formulas that enhance your natural beauty and add a touch of English elegance to your makeup collection! Together, we created a beautiful brand that has no compromise for quality or effectiveness, and is a genuinely original, clever and versatile makeup. Expect a natural, glowing and flawless finish with their range of natural mineral makeup and skincare. And I love that there are no fillers or dubious…

Welcome back, my beauty friend! Today I’m sharing my thoughts on a wonderful foundation that’s been on my wishlist for a while – it’s the gorgeous RMS Beauty “Un” Cover-Up Cream Foundation! RMS makes some seriously desirable makeup. I’m a big fan of their “Un” Cover-Up Concealer, so when I heard about their cream foundation a few months ago, I added it to my wishlist right away. Honestly, I’d been shamelessly using that concealer all over my face then setting it with rice powder. I can’t get enough of the coverage and feel. And the cream foundation is even better. It’s easy to apply, gives great coverage and leaves a glowing finish that’s like my own complexion but better. And this is coming from someone who hadn’t used cream foundation in what must be 10 years. I’m not ready to give up my beloved loose mineral foundation just yet, but…

Welcome back, beauty lover! And Mother, if you’re reading this please stop reading now! I’m sharing gifts for you in my Mother’s Day gifting under £50! Mother’s Day is almost here, and it’s time to honour the beautiful human that brought me into this world. My poor mum has had a terrible few months. Not only is she stuck in this miserable lockdown with the rest of us, but since November she’s been in serious chronic pain, resulting in a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. This Mother’s Day, I really want to cheer her up and encourage her to put her feet up and relax with some beautiful goodies. I love a mix of high end and good value natural beauty treats. I picked up a luxury body care gift set, lipstick, sheet mask, toner, and a pretty-in-pink multitasking balm bar – all for under £50! Let’s take a look what…

Welcome back, my friend. I hope you had a great Christmas? Today, I’m sharing an ever so glamorous and relaxing New Year’s Eve manicure with nail care game changers Kure Bazaar! New Year’s Eve with small children is certainly different to when I was in my twenties. But whether or not we venture out for the night, I absolutely love getting into the party spirit at home. For me, that includes making my nails look really glamorous on the run up to the new year. But, it’s not just about the final look. I want to share with you a beautiful hand and nail manicure routine that’ll have you feeling so relaxed and soothed into the new year. All using natural nail care including that from Kure Bazaar. I tried the Kure Bazaar Pompom Nail File, Ginger Nail Balm, and limited edition Diva Nail Polish. Would you like to learn…

It’s not often I splurge on makeup, but when I do you can be sure it’s on something good! I see you, Hurraw Aura Accent Balms! These cute and versatile accent balms add a hint of illumination, colour, and shimmer wherever you please. They’re based on coconut and aren’t at all greasy or sticky. In fact, I love their silky, feather-light feel on my lips, cheeks, and eyes. Hurraw Aura Accent Balms + swatches All Hurraw Aura Balms are organic, vegan, and raw – you’ll find no beeswax or cochineal here. All packaging is sustainable and recyclable. Hurraw indeed for guilt-free glass jars with tin lids! They’re so shimmery and a lot of fun, so let’s dive in to looking at these accent balms. I tried two from the range, but there are 6 shades in total – Crimson, Copper, Pearl, Silver, Gold, and Bronze. Hurraw Crimson Aura Accent Balm…

This month I chose some lovely late summer beauty from online natural beauty stores. I’m so pleased with myself for sticking to sustainable skincare and makeup through July and August. This is me going forwards! And my August picks really reflect the season. I’ve got a gorgeous warm refillable “Chamomile” eyeshadow palette from Ere Perez to take me into autumn, sumptuous EarthKind shampoo bar, affordable liquid lipstick from Benecos, and – I finally did it – I bought a lip balm with SPF from Hurraw to add to my huge stash of lip balms. Got to catch them all! Scroll to the bottom to see my final look using the Ere Perez Chamomile eyeshadow and Benecos lipstick. Enjoy my August natural beauty picks!

Welcome back, dear friends! Have you tried Ere Perez beauty before? This Australian natural cosmetics brand creates high quality, healthy, and easy to use beauty. Perhaps best known for its gorgeous makeup pieces, the brand formulates nourishing skincare too. Ere Perez, a Mexican-born natural therapist, is the creator of this stunning brand. And, although I’ve admired Ere Perez from a distance for some time, this is my first foray into the cruelty-free brand. The brand selects natural oils, plant extracts, and minerals with great care. Many of the items have sun protection in mind. In each product, you’ll find health-giving and beneficial ingredients inside. Being naturally beautiful encompasses everything about our lives. It’s being kind to ourselves and our fellow creatures; being thoughtful and considerate of other people; conscious of conserving the beauty of our planet and making the most our own natural beauty and recognising our inner strength. Ere…

In this post I’m sharing my favourite Lavera makeup. Lavera is one of the first brands I chose when I started to buy natural beauty. I’ve already posted about some of my favourite Lavera products, such as Lavera Colour and Shine Shampoo, Lavera Deodorant, and Lavera Sensitive Toothpaste. The Lavera makeup range is really comprehensive. Each product I’ve tried from the range is good quality and excellent value for money. One of the great things about Lavera is that all of their products are NATRUE certified. I come back to Lavera time and time again! I used my favourite Lavera makeup items to create this natural daytime look. For my base I used Dr. Botanicals Kale Superfood Nourishing Day Moisturiser, and Faerie Minerals Maximum Coverage Foundation in Porcelain.
