Mac Mineralize Skinfinish - Soft & Gentle ♡

I have had this wonderful highlighter in my collection for quite some time now - as you can tell by the 'old' style packaging. To be honest, this product was my first ever high end spend and boy can I tell you that it was definitely worth the whole £23 I spent on it!

Soft & Gentle is a beautiful bronzey, champagne shade which gives you that gorgeous shimmery glow that we all love. The shimmer is pretty intense but thank goodness there are no chunky bits of glitter in sight, so you do not need to worry about looking like you have just been attacked by the glitter monster!

I personally feel that this highlighter would suit a wide range of skin tones, making this product even more popular. I especially think that this highlighter would suit me even more when I have a tan as it is quite warm-toned which will compliment a tan beautifully.

I like to apply my highlighter to the highest points of my cheek bones, just for that really subtle glow. When I feel particularly fancy I also like to pop a bit of the highlighter on my forehead, down the bridge of my nose, on my cupid's bow and a tiny little bit on my chin just to give that lovely healthy-looking glow.
I have also tried applying this highlighter as an all-over-lid eye shadow which is simply just stunning! I do this by slightly wetting my eye shadow brush with some Mac Fix Plus Spray and generously picking up some of the highlighter with it and gently smoothing that all over my lid. (If you own this highlighter and you have not tried this, I would 100% recommend you to.)

The consistency is silky smooth and quite thin which makes applying the highlighter quick and simple with no fuss. A small amount most certainly goes a very long way with this little gem and I have been using mine for well over a year now and, as you can see, mine has only just started to flatten from where it was originally domed. I can see that this is going to last me a very long time and if it were to ever run out, I would re-purchase without hesitation.

Kylie Jenner Lip | My Perfect Combination ♡

We all know that the 'Kylie Jenner Lip' was, and still is, such a massive craze. I honestly have no idea what it was about her perfectly nude lips that made everyone go wild and want the exact same colour, yet here I am with my own creation of the perfect nude lip inspired by Kylie Jenner herself..

Lip Liner in Ceramic by Topshop - £5.00

I have chosen the gorgeous nude lip liner by Topshop and paired it with the equally beautiful '1995' Gerard Cosmetics lipstick created by Jaclyn Hill - who actually created this brown nude inspired by the Kylie Jenner lip craze!

Needless to say, I am very obsessed with both of these products and they are pretty inexpensive. I have re-purchased Topshop's Nude Lip Liner around three or four times now (I know, obsessed right!?) and I will continue to do so until it is discontinued, which I really do hope never happens. 

'1995' by Gerard Cosmetics is a stunning brown toned nude which compliments the Topshop lip liner beautifully. As I previously said, the YouTuber Jaclyn Hill teamed up with Gerard Cosmetics in the making of '1995' as her perfect Kylie Jenner nude.

1995 Lipstick by Gerard Cosmetics - $19 (Approx. £12.00)

You can really see how lovely this shade of nude is and I never thought that my favourite nude shade would be a brown one, I always thought that I would love the pink ones! But I actually don't even own a pink nude (yes I really do need to purchase one for myself) which is shocking as one of my favourite colours is pink! Anyway, this particular lipstick is highly pigmented and so smooth so is definitely worth the purchase in my opinion. I do find all lipstick's quite drying on my lips and there is no exception with this one, but I don't really mind this factor as I am pretty used to it now and all I need to do once I have removed my make up is moisturize my lips so it really is no big drama for me. 

This is the lip combination on myself. I do really like how complimentary this colour of nude is on my skin and the rest of the features on my face, it's like a really sophisticated, day-time appropriate, subtle '1950's glam' look (if you disagree, that's totally fine haha). I definitely feel like this lip combination could either be dressed up or down depending on outfit choice, hairstyle, eye look and the amount of make up you are choosing to wear.

What is your perfect Kylie Jenner lip combo?xoxo
