Why do you use those particular products and do you have a particular philosophy or routine?

 

Anything that I use day-to-day that is in my makeup bag has to work well, if I have a powder that leaves me with an oily T-zone by midday it is soon in my makeup drawer and not in my makeup bag. I also like all the products I use to last all day which is why I use both a face primer and an eye primer plus I always go for more pigmented blushers that don’t fade throughout the day!

How often do you change what’s in your makeup bag?

Not that often really, I seem to add new products but don’t change it up that often which can lead me to having way too many products in there. Though I do change products in there just before summer and then again just before winter. So next month I’ll add some sunscreen products in there, change the type of foundation I’m using to a more sheer one and add afew brighter lipsticks in there.

Is there a product you can’t live without and regularly re-buy?

I have three products I just can’t live without and always re-purchase – No7 Quick Cover Blemish Stick in 02 Extra Fair (amazing coverage and lasts all day), No7 Amazing Eyes Pencil in 10 Brown (the only thing that looks natural over my blonde eyebrows when I forget to get them tintied) and YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Mascara for big almost fake looking lashes!

What is the story behind the bag you use?

It’s nothing special but it does hold alot! I got it free with Marie Claire magazine last year and it’s by Cowshed. I would love a new Anya Hindmarch makeup bag for my birthday in May though!

A night in the bed of dreams thanks to the @dermal A night in the bed of dreams thanks to the @dermalogicaire team ✨ 

Their new Dynamic Skin Retinol is an exciting launch as it’s suitable for entry-level users (using once a week) and experienced users (using several times a week). 

It contains a 3.5% retinoid complex, concentrated squalane and beta-glucan (an oat-derived humectant), so it’s powerful but hydrating and soothing at the same time 👏🏻 

They brought us to @westburydublin to celebrate the launch with the wonderful @louise_dermalogica (she’s patiently answered every nerdy skincare question I’ve ever put to her 😂) and honestly, I can’t believe it’s already over - so here’s a post to help me go back there for a moment.

@beautyofjoseon_official Relief Sun SPF50. It’s made with 30% rice extract so it’s super gentle and particularly great for sensitive skin. 

It’s lightweight, hydrating, not sticky and leaves no white cast on the skin (and it’s amazing under makeup). 

If you’re looking for a new sunscreen, try this. It’s absolutely brilliant 🙌🏻
