Hello again,

A bit unexpected, so let’s try some new Essence products using nearly a full face of new products with some exciting new releases that I can’t wait to try out more. Remember: this is just a first impression as it is the first time I am putting these on my face. Let’s dig in!

Essence Fresh & Fit Foundation With Vitamin C

 

Hello there, 

If you have already taken a tour looking around my posts, you probably know I am a big fan of the brand Afrodita.

They usually come out with pretty amazing skincare products, and I often am satisfied with my pr gift; this time, I am going to review items featured in Afrodita skin specialist collection.

Afrodita collagen serum

Like most serums, and definitely like the Collagen one by Afrodita, this formulation is very liquid-y and almost completely water-like.

There really isn’t much more to say about this formulation’s consistency, besides the fact that it’s super lightweight; this makes the formulation perfect for layering, since it blends with the rest of your skincare products effortelessly.

Afrodita Hyaluron serum 

They also state that it is intended for use in the morning and evening and that it helps reduce dark circles and puffiness, which is a common problem among us women.  I actually never have dark under-eye circles, my under-eye circles and the edge of the eye next to the nose are greenish-blue, but they are swollen from fatigue.

The serum is concentrated and thicker in texture and will not spill, it absorbs well into the eye area and feel free to continue applying make-up.  It is an excellent foundation for concealer.  I have been using essence me under eye concealer for the last few months and I set it either with Catrice , Essence banana powder.  All three are powdered powders and miraculously, my concealer did not move or get into my pores.

 

Hello people,

New beauty year? New beauty trends! The CATRICE Spring/Summer Update 2021 welcomes new beauty routines, responds to the growing desire for peace of mind – even in the bathroom – and lets us stay true to ourselves in terms of self-care and authenticity. And all this without sacrificing innovative formulas, fresh colors and exciting textures! 

LIFT UP VOLUME & LIFT MASCARA

Volume meets a lifting effect: long and thick lashes with a visibly breathtaking lifting effect – that’s what eyelash dreams are all about. And with the new vegan LIFT UP Volume & Lift Mascara, they’re about to come out. The lash lifting technology gives the lashes a long-lasting lift and an impressive curl with just one layer. The rice protein and provitamin B5 power-care complex provides extra care for the eyelashes. The mascara is available in a waterproof and non-waterproof version. For a lifting effect like in the beauty salon!

 

Hi people,

However I really like the edibles and had been using the Love Hemp Jelly Domes that contain 10mg of CBD per Jelly Dome. They are sticky and easily disappear in the mouth as they are so soft. I had been using one of the Jelly Domes morning. 

For me the biggest noticeable difference has been that my anxiety has dropped right off. I spent 30 years suffering crippling anxiety and had tried therapy, pharmaceuticals etc and they helped to a degree but since regularly using CBD I have felt like I did before it all started.

 Hello people,

Today’s blog post is in collaboration with Femme Luxe Finery, who gifted me some clothes of my choice in exchange for a blog post review. Femme Luxe Finery is a fashion brand who say they are all about style, sass and social media. “No matter what your style” – Femme Luxe aim to have something for every style type, which I actually agree with as after browsing for a little while I did find items which are my kind of thing fashion-wise. I like that they also have a “trends” section on their website, so you can view items in the Femme Luxe collection which follow that specific trend e.g. neon trend, which is huge right now due to summer festival season. As well as currently having a sitewide sale, they offer regular discount codes and student discount.

Black Mesh Sleeve Cuffed Crop Top - Magnolia × 1

Next, I chose the Black Mesh Sleeve Cuffed Crop Top – Magnolia made with transparent fabric and puff sleeves as well as a lovely cleavage. I’m always a size 8 and I kind of struggled with this one when I bought it, I could only start wearing it when I happened to lose 2 kilos so be careful with the size. The top is beautiful and can also be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Definitely an attention grabber too.

Next, I choose  

Black Iridescent Plunge Puff Sleeve Bodysuit - Samia × 1

This was well packaged and in my opinion quite a risky choice for me. Again this was a glittery piece with a very low plunge front, a rubber lining and a metal ‘v’ shape to help maintain both the support and look of the outfit.

The puffy sleeves are a nice feature, although not that puffy on my chunky arms! I love the fact that they’re shear, great quality!

It’s a very sexy thong style bodysuit that I paired up with black jeans (they’re meant to be black!) I think in the future I will wear with some leather trousers instead. It’s definitely an eye catcher of an outfit and I cannot wait to hit the town in this sexy number! Who knows I might meet the man of my dreams, ha!

Black Velvet Bardot Wire Plunge Bodycon Mini Dress 

Whilst this item’s list price is cheaper I actually prefer this bodycon dress to the first one personally and think I would find more use for it. Though the dress is short again the fabric is thicker and therefore the feeling is better quality, This is a really lovely classic Little Black Dress in quite a timeless design and something which I would confidently wear on a night out.

Emerald Strappy Cut Out  Side Bodycon Mini Dress

It feels so smooth on. I love the velvety soft material and the gold chain straps add some nice detail to the dress. This black velvet bodycon mini dress is really comfortable and fits well. I ordered it in a size 12 and it sits really well.

Perfect for date night or a girls night out teamed up with a pair of black or barely there heels and a clutch bag,

FINAL THOUGHTS

Well, there you have it! A new week of updates and some comfortable fashion inspiration from Femme Luxe. 

Don’t forget that Femme Luxe offers a variety of clothing choices other than loungewear and t-shirts. Take for example, this Corset Dress, Trousers, Jeans, and Black Lace Bodysuit. 

This post is in partnership with Femme Luxe Finery Co UK.
