I haven't done a tutorial in a very long time and that's probably because I haven't liked any looks that I've been doing enough or simply haven't had time to take loads of selfies of said looks because I tend to be late whenever I do proper makeup. However, this one is an exception so let's dig in. 
1) First off, I moisturised my face with the Clean & Clear Dual Action moisturiser (review) and then primed with the NYX Shine Killer primer (review). Then my face was ready for some under-eye concealer and a layer of the L'Oreal Infallible 24h Matte foundation (review). I apply both of those products with a beauty blender to get the best looking finish.

2) Time for brows: I fill them in using the NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder and set them with an Essence clear brow gel. Then I move onto the eyes.

3) First things first, I applied concealer onto my lids to act as a base and then set it with a powder. The next step was the Wjcon Creamy Push Metallic Eyeshadow (11) which I use whenever I am doing a gold eye because it does not budge so it makes sure my eyeshadow stays in place. I applied some bronzer from the NYX Highlight & Contour Pro Palette (review) into the crease and then intensified the lids with the NYX Glam Eyeshadow (Boost). The mascara of my choice this time was the Maybelline Lash Sensational (review).

4) Then it was time to finish off my face. I set the foundation into place with the Rimmel Stay Matte powder and then moved on to contouring. I contour with the above-mentioned NYX palette using the two middle shades (toffee and sculpt) and then I bronze it up with the first shade (tan). I opted for a different highlight option this time and I used an eyeshadow from the Makeup Revolution Death by Chocolate Palette (shade: Bring Down Angels, review). I bathed my cheekbones with this, but also the brow bones, the bridge of my nose and the Cupid's bow. Basically, my whole face was covered with this eyeshadow and I absolutely loved it. 

5) The finishing step was lining my lips a little bit with the NYX lip liner in the shade Peekaboo Neutral. 

That's it! I hope you like this look and I'll be sure to try and do more of these kind of posts.

I bought this product today (March 24th) in an attempt to rejuvenate my hair a little bit cause it's feeling pretty dry these days. Over a few weeks I'll be writing my thoughts about it until we get to the conclusion. 
1st use, March 24th:
I washed my hair yesterday so I couldn't apply it the way that they suggest which is to apply in onto the ends before drying your hair. However, I was not patient enough to wait until the next time I wash my hair and I had to use it right away. I applied one pump, which is a pretty decent amount. Immediately I could tell that it's a very lightweight formula. It made my hair super soft and pretty easy to brush through, which is great because my hair gets very tangled very quickly. It didn't make my hair look or feel greasy in any way, it just made it look really good. Also, it smells very nice and fresh. So, right off the bat, I really like this product, but I will test it out some more before forming the final opinion.

2nd use, March 26th:
This time I used a pump and a half on my damp hair after washing it and then another half a pump after drying the hair. I swear, my hair has never felt softer. It looks really nice, it's very silky and soft to the touch and much less tangled than it usually would be. So far, so good. 

To be quite honest, I couldn't keep writing impressions after each use, but it's now April the 14th which means it's been about 3 weeks of using this product and my opinion has remained unchanged. This oil makes my hair very, very soft and it doesn't make it look greasy whatsoever. I don't think it has any long term effects on the hair, but it's definitely a nice way to tame your hair after drying it or whenever it's looking a little bit dry. I don't only use it right after washing/drying my hair, but throughout the week when I notice that my hair is looking dull and dry and it needs some sprucing up. All in all, I would definitely recommend trying this baby.

I ran out of my trusty Rimmel 25h Lasting Finish Foundation and that put me in the position of having to get a new product. After a lot, a lot of research, I decided to go for this beauty right here. Here's what I think about it.
First off, I love that it's a 35ml package as opposed to the usual 30ml foundation packaging especially considering the great price of the product. I also like that it's in a tube because it's travel friendly and not too bulky for your makeup bag. 
In the past I've used the L'Oreal True Match Foundation, but I was not too impressed; it's a whole different story with this one. 
The consistency is pretty light and you can't feel it on you skin once you've applied it. I apply it with a beauty blender and it provides a very natural appearance, while still covering all of my imperfections and making my skin look absolutely amazing. I would say this foundation is medium to full coverage, but even the full coverage doesn't look cakey.
It dries pretty quickly, so I would try and blend it in as soon as possible, and after it is dry it looks very much like skin. It lasts really well on me and keep in mind that my T-zone gets very oily very quickly. I found that I got oily after about 5 or 6 hours, which is incredible, and I didn't have to touch up too much at all. 

My local drugstore doesn't really have an abundance of shades, so I'm not sure about the range, but I managed to find my perfect shade which is Natural Rose. 
So, in conclusion: if you've got oily skin and like a good coverage foundation, I would recommend this foundation a hundred percent. It's long wearing, keeps you matte almost all day long and covers everything that it needs to cover - what more could you ask for? However, if you're skin is really dry, I don't know how it would get along with this product as it tends to cling to dry patches, but maybe you could combine it with a good moisturizer.

I finally have some stuff to recommend to you and I will jump right into it so that this post doesn't get way too long.
○ March Movie: Moana
I absolutely loved this film and it was mainly because of the amazing graphics. I swear, in some moments it looked like real life people. The plot is interesting enough to keep your attention and I found it very funny. If you're a fan of Disney films, this is one that you can't skip.

○ March Album: The Weeknd - Beauty Behind the Madness
After months of listening to Starboy I decided it was time to switch things up a little bit and after some time looking for new music, I ended up back on The Weeknd. There's not really much I can say about this album except that I absolutely love it and can't stop listening to it. It's got a chill, but upbeat and very powerful vibe and it puts me in a great mood. My fave songs are Dark Times, Prisoner and Losers. 

○ March Book: Natalia Ginzburg - The City and the House
I finally finished this book and I couldn't be happier about it. This book is kind of similar to Erlend Loe's Gone With the Woman in the way it was written - very simple, short sentences and no direct speech. It's kind of a collection of letters exchanged between a group of friends. There's quite a bit of repetition in the letters as everyone has a different point of view. All on all, it's a very quick and interesting read and I would recommend it if you're looking for something slightly different.
