Xen Tan Face Tanner Luxe.

Good morning my beautiful bloggers, how are we all? I don't know about you lot but for me it gets to this time of year and i always feel very pasty and really need a helping hand for that much needed glow that i like to have all year round. Luckily i have found the perfect facial tanner and i have hunted for quite a while to find it.
Introducing Xen Tan Face Tanner Luxe.

 I don't know about you? but i just want a tanner that applies easily, is very natural looking, smells nice and also one that does not make my spot prone skin breakout.

I have been testing this out for the past few weeks and there is just 1 word LOVE.

Here i applied the xen tan last night and this morning applied another layer. This is about 1 hr after application and no makeup at all except mascara. ( no mascaraless scary photos lol )

As you can see the colour is so natural, there is no orange tones at all. Bearing in mind my face is usually about 4 shades lighter than my body i am thrilled with the results.
 For me i have found that i need to apply it for 2 days in a row then miss 2 days in rotation. This is what works for me anyway.
The cream itself is silky and smooth and absorbs easily leaving a lovely glow to the skin and the smell is just delicious. It reminds me of creme brule as its a creamy vanilla scent.

As for my spot prone skin? Well my skin has never looked better which i have to say is down to my Liz Earle cleanse & polish but the tanner seems to have enhanced my skin rather than cause any problems. It does not sit in the lines or make my pores look bigger as most tans do.

I could rave and rave about this product till the cows come home. It's my new found tanning product of the year. I can see what everyone is talking about.
Available from Xen Tan RRP £18.95
Have you tried this yet???

Organising my little makeup Stash! ( heavy photos )

Morning ladies, i have had a few questions about how i organise my makeup and storage etc so thought i would show you how i stash my stuff.
I wanted to wait until i had it organised exactly how i want it but it might be a while yet so thought I'd show you how it is now.

 My main makeup area where i apply my makeup everyday.

 Next to my makeup area is a window cill where i have this little box chest from Ikea with my pigments stored on top.

 Pigments: Barry M & Mac

 The storage is from Partners stationary shop. I think i paid £12 for it. I love it as it's clear so easy to find what I'm looking for. I have a mix of Barry M, Mac, Everyday minerals, NYX, La Femme, Sleek

I only purchased this yesterday again from Partners. They have 342 at the moment and i thought the brown leather effect was nice. This holds so much.
The purple lipstick holder was one i had anyway and it fitted perfectly on here. At the back i have sleek, urban decay and NYX palettes. Also concealers, primer potion, clinique moisture surge spray and scissors

 In the front section i have Mac lipglosses and lipsticks, tendertones and sleek contour on the left.
Right side: Sleek palettes, Mascara, lash glue, mascaras, eyelash curlers, Eye pencils, lip pencils.

 Pull out drawer holds a few MAC eyeshadows, Paint pots and skinfinish.

 Brush holder again from partners in the 342 offer. This was only £5 and it has 3 sections so ideal for brushes.

 Lastly from partners was this letter holder which is great for palettes. Here's what it holds:

Front row Naked palette. This is great to have nearby as i use it a lot although it looks nearly new from the photo?

 2nd row is my MAC palette which still has a few gaps to fill :) an excuse to go shopping. This is kept with my too faced leopard palette which i use a lot.

 The last slot holds my Z palette which again has lots of space still and a palette with some milani eyeshadows and some pressed pigments.

 These drawers are from the £1 shop. I will be replacing them with leather look ones from partners but they are out of stock at the moment. Still they do the job for now.

 Top drawer: Cream, liquid liners

2nd Drawer:  More Mascaras

 3rd Drawer: Cream eyeshadows, Eyeshadow which i use on brows, Sharpener, tweezers and random eye products.

 4th Drawer: Lipglosses

 5th Drawer: Um Lipglosses

 6th Drawer: Ooops more lipglosses.

 Drawers in dressing Table. Top Drawer: Foundations, concealers, Powders

 2nd Drawer: Very random, eyeshadows, palettes, spare eyelash curlers, scissors, labels, bowl for mixing powders, blush etc.

Bottom Drawer: Blushers, bronzers and lipsticks. I recently did a big clear out and downsized a lot of my stuff but i still have too many mascaras and glosses but what can i say, i love makeup.
Hope you enjoyed this post and have a lovely day xx

Barielle 'Holiday Hustle' Collection

Morning Ladies!  I have been trying some of the shades from this fabulous collection and wanted to share some swatches with you.


I am very new to this product range but am super impressed with the 4 shades i was sent to review. 

Jess’ Champagne Toast – a metallic violet with rose gold glitter

Gelt Me To The Party – a copper bronze metallic

Wrap Me in Ribbon – a metallic raspberry with violet and copper pearl undertones

Elle’s Spell – a jelly red with multi-coloured foil flakes

The colours apply beautifully and cover with 2 coats easily. The shine is amazing and i will definitely purchase other shades in this range.

I am not a gold kind of girl so was surprised at how much the Gelt me to the party won me over. The colour looks like an antiqued gold with almost olive tones in certain lights. Very pretty.

Have you tried anything from this range yet? Available from Barielle at £8 each xx
