Well here we are LOCKDOWN! I hope you’re all doi Well here we are LOCKDOWN! I hope you’re all doing ok?
I’ve been thinking about what I’m going to do over this time period and how to get the most out of it.
Being the final 6 months of my PhD, I will have to start writing my thesis now instead of later but to break that time up with more fun things (not that science isn’t fun 🙄). I’m thinking baking, play the piano and experimenting with makeup! It doesn’t matter that no one is going to see my makeup or hear me play, I’m doing it for me but at the same time I’m not going to force myself to do to anything I don’t feel like or feel pressured to learn something new or start something big just because we have this time. 
I think it’s important to take a break and reset without anything or anyone sucking your energy. Only do things that you really want to and help you feel better now and for the future when this is over.
What are your plans for lockdown?
For me makeup is art. Your face is the canvas and For me makeup is art. Your face is the canvas and the fact you can take any colour/finish/texture and create something that completely reflects your personality and mood is amazing and yes maybe it also fuels my need to have so many pretty palettes!! The @jackieaina @anastasiabeverlyhills eyeshadow palette is incredible! The colours are soooooo pigmented but still really wearable. It’s like a work of art itself.
What’s your favourite ABH palette?

Currently away on a mini weekend trip with @openingupcricket and loving all the things to see and do (and eat) in Glasgow. I’ve always loved Scotland and Glasgow is my all time favourite Scottish city. Is there a way to become an honorary Scotsman please?!
Have you ever been to Glasgow? If you could pick any other nationality to be, what would you go for? 📸 @lifeofpingkan

There’s enough to do in the mornings before work without having to spend half an hour doing up your face. However, when I do wear makeup, even just a little, I feel more confident, put together and ready to tackle the day. 
That’s why I’m loving @Primark.Beauty to create a super quick, everyday look to help me look glowing and more importantly, at really affordable prices.

Who else loves earrings?! I really need to wear th Who else loves earrings?! I really need to wear them more often because 1. Jabbing them through the piercing that has been empty for months is no fun and games 😂 and 2. They just elevate your look to the next level!! Seriously, whether they’re long, studs, gold, sparkly, colourful, patterned, they make me feel so put together. 2020 is my year for accessorising!
Gifted| Back to work and I’m really not here for Gifted| Back to work and I’m really not here for it! What I am here for is these natural Wispies eyelashes from @ardellbeauty. I do love false lashes but because I don’t have a lot of lid space, I find they always look heavy and unnatural on me so I give up and they get shoved in a drawer. That’s why I was dubious at first with these but the second I put them on, I fell in love. The natural style adds volume to my lashes without looking heavy and really do pass as being my own, even in person!! They’re easy to put on as the band is nice and flexible and stay put throughout the day. These are my lashes for sure! Have you tried Ardell lashes before?

Pixi Beauty Rose skincare collection inside Rose Travel Bag

Time to Travel with Pixi Beauty

Pixi Beauty Rose skincare collection inside Rose Travel Bag

If there’s one thing I love more than skincare, it’s having said skincare in a matching, swanky holdall. There’s something satisfying about packing for a trip away, cute outfits, shoes, accessories and then completing your suitcase with the ultimate beauty bag. It makes me feel organised and more than anything, like one of those chic woman that always has their life together, (I definitely don’t) ready to jet off at a moments notice.

So you can imagine my squeals of delight when Pixi Beauty sent me their Rose Travel Bag* with lots of goodies from the rose skincare collection inside. It really is the most perfect bag to take on trips away. The pretty rose flower exterior is not only eye-catching but practical too, with any marks easily wiped off. A double handle makes it easy to carry, whilst being not too bulky fitting into any case but the real magic is in the interior design. Zip open the rose gold pulls and this bag opens out into two super accessible compartments that can be hung up anywhere by the rose gold hanger. You can fit so many products inside, as well as a handy little pouch to fit cotton pads, earbuds or any other skincare bits.

Of course, a rose design can only mean one thing, Pixi Beauty’s amazing rose skincare collection. I have written about the wonders of their Rose Caviar Essence and Rose Flash Balm in a previous post and can’t wait to add them into my daily routine again. Every item in the collection is a dream to use but I thought I’d focus on my top four favourites to get glowing skin on your getaway.

Pixi Beauty Makeup Fixing Mist

Whatever you get up to on your holiday, you can guarantee your makeup is going to need a little more assistance staying put. I love this Pixi Beauty Makeup Fixing Mist that helps prolong my makeup and keeping it from sliding of my face! You can use it before makeup, after to set and anytime your skin needs a little boost in hydration.

Pixi Beauty Makeup Melting Cleansing Cloths

I know makeup wipes have a bad rep for those of us who take skincare seriously, however these make an ideal pre-cleanse. I find when I’m travelling, the combined buildup of makeup, grime and oil is even worse than at home. These wipes are a quick and efficient way to remove all product, even stubborn waterproof formulas. They smell beautifully fresh and soothe my skin leaving it clear and ready for the rest of my skincare.

Pixi Beauty Rose Cream Cleanser

Following makeup removal, I like to do a thorough cleanse with the Pixi Beauty Rose Cream Cleanser. It’s wonderfully indulgent yet gentle with no tightness after use. In addition to mineral-rich mud to detoxify, it also has rose, chamomile and aloe vera to soothe and avocado to condition. Just massage onto the skin and rinse off with warm water. Voila!

Pixi Beauty Rose Ceramide Cream

After a long day exploring the sights, my skin can feel tired and dry. Although this Pixi Beauty Rose Ceramide Cream is thicker than your average moisturiser, even with my combination skin, it’s exactly what I need. It feels ultra rich, yet sinks into my skin like a dream. As well as rose flower oil to help nourish, the ceramide provides time-released moisture keeping your skin hydrated throughout the day. I find it’s the perfect cream to apply right before bed, working it’s magic before another fun day away.
