Girl on Fire was created by Sana, Huda's Beauty Advisor from Selfridges. Sana's Girl on Fire is a hot and toasted red with a pink undertone. The lipstick is both vegan and cruelty-free and is exclusive to Selfridges. 

Girl on Fire comes in a beautiful, black packaging which makes its colour stand out even more. I find the shade to be a darker red on my pale skin, however it's definitely a lipstick I'd reach for on a night or date out. The formula is very comfortable and not at all drying, unlike other matte liquid lipsticks I've tried before. The lipstick has 8 hours of staying time and I have to say, I am super impressed. It stays on even if you eat and drink like crazy, it's transfer-proof and doesn't get all patchy after couple of hours!

Queen of Sheba was created by Bilkis, Huda's Beauty Advisor from Harrods. Bilkis' Queen of Sheba is a sexy muted pink shade with a subtle blue undertone for a classic pout that will work with any look. Similarly to Girl on Fire, Queen of Sheba is also vegan and cruelty-free and exclusive to Harrods.

Queen of Sheba's packaging looks really cool with Harrods' design on it. On my pale skin, the shade turns out to be a darker nude but that's actually something I love to wear on a daily basis. As previously mentioned, this liquid matte formula is super comfortable and it's infused with antioxidants, plus an exclusive complex to help maintain hydration. You can drink and eat all you want - the lipstick doesn't move or go patchy which is amazing. 

I think both Sana and Bilkis did an amazing job in creating those two limited edition lipsticks! I had an opportunity to congratulate both on this experience and I know how excited they are for these lippies to be finally out. When it comes to liquid matte lipsticks, Huda Beauty has to have one of the best formulas out there - both are non-drying, non-patchy and transfer-proof. Queen of Sheba will be my go-to shade for everyday and Girl on Fire is a gorgeous shade of red I will be reaching for on a date and nights out. 

Let me know down in the comments your thoughts on these two limited edition Huda Beauty lipsticks! 

I think it's so nice of Huda to collaborate with her Beauty Advisors and giving people a chance to create their dream lipstick shade. As always, thank you to the entire Huda Beauty team for gifting me with these amazing lipsticks - I truly love them both.

Megha Singh's beauty tutorial went viral on Tiktok after she shared her tips on how to create a 'face lift' effect using concealer. For the best lifting effect, apply concealer in the inner and outer corner of your eye, side of the nose and side of the mouth. 

Use a cleansing oil, balm or micellar water first to break down make up and then follow up with a deeper water-based cleanser.  Why should you double cleanse? It will give your skin a more thorough cleanse.

Want your makeup to look airbrushed in real life? Set your face using a powder puff! It will leave your face looking smoother than usual.

Do your eyeliner with your eyes open because that's how they are 99% of the time!

Use a white base such as white concealer to amplify pigment and intensity your Neon looks.

A celestial edit of sumptuous shadows to upgrade your eyelids from earthly to intergalactic, Huda's sensational Mercury Retrograde Eyeshadow Palette is sending us into a spin. An all-star collection of 18 incredible shades lovingly curated with soft, buttery mattes and smooth molten metallics is joined by a show-stopping glitter and multi-dimensional, semi-sheer shades to facilitate breathtaking looks. As all Huda Beauty products, this eyeshadow palette is also cruelty free. 

I have loads of Huda's eyeshadow palettes in my collection and all are of excellent quality. The eyeshadow are just as great as in her previous palettes, the mattes blend easily and there is barely any kick off. The metallics and shimmer shadows are super pigmented and I recommend to apply them with fingers for the best results. Also, can we take a minute to appreciate the fact there is a beautiful shadow Utopia which is also the name of the newest Kayali fragrance?! 

Huda Kattan is a master when it comes to packaging for her products - they always match the theme perfectly well. I love the entire cosmic theme behind this eyeshadow palette and all of the promotional photos are stunning! 

Mercury Retrograde is a very unique eyeshadow palette, nothing like you've seen before. It has everything you need from soft natural colours to flashy fairy-like glitters and the pop of colours definitely make it stand out in my eyeshadow collection. Although you can create any type of looks with this palette, you can surely go beyond that by adding the beautiful glitter shade on top for that extra wow factor. As previously mentioned, Huda's eyeshadow formula is one of my favourites, so in my opinion you can't go wrong with any of her palettes - and trust me, there are loads of great ones to pick from. Unfortunately, it's so hard for me to pick a favourite but if you want something special in your collection, then definitely check out the Mercury Retrograde eyeshadow palette! xo

Once again, thank you to the entire Huda Beauty and Trace Publicity team for gifting me so many of Huda Beauty goodies! xo

Hi, dolls!

I was super excited when Soph announced her third collab with Makeup Revolution and I immediately picked it up. If you're interested to find out all about it, let's get right into the review!

Mini Spice is a warm toned palette bursting with beautiful matte and foil shades. From a cherry drop red to a peachy orange you'll be looking and feeling sweeter than candy in no time! The palette is both vegan and cruelty-free.

Lately, I've been loving mini eyeshadow palettes, so I decided to pick up the Mini Spice instead of the big palette from Soph's newest collection. The foil shades are my favourite, they are very pigmented and the shades are so beautiful. The matte shades are also good but definitely not my favourite. However, they are still very pigmented and there is no fall-out with them. They don't swatch the best but they do perform much better on the eyes. It's a great everyday palette to have in your collection and for its price I think it's definitely worth checking out.

The Candy Icing lip set includes a light peachy toned lip liner with a matching lightly tinted lip balm. 

The lip sets are also vegan and cruelty-free.

 

I didn't expect to love this set as much as I do but the lip balm is so nice! It's tinted, so it doesn't have too much pigment which I actually like because you can wear it on its own or on top of a lipstick or lipliner. The lip balm leaves my lips very hydrated throughout the day and it's something I've been wearing ever since I got it. 

Soph's newest highlights for your face and body are available in 3 finishes - Sugar Frosting, Cookies and Cream and Honey Glaze. I've picked up the lightest - Sugar Frosting which is an icy white & light champagne toned highlighters suitable for fair to light skin tones. The palette duos are also vegan and cruelty-free.

I am obsessed with this highlighter formula. It's so pigmented and performs much better than some of my really expensive highlighters. It's also really small but the actual pans are bigger than your usual highlighters which is great to keep in your bag or when travelling. I remember Soph's first highlighter palette being such a great success and I'm happy these highlighter duos are just as good, if not better!

Soph is one of my favourite youtubers to watch, so it comes to no surprise I wanted to try out her third collection with Revolution. I am really happy with all of the products, as always they are very affordable and good quality. My favourite out of the 3 would be either the lip balm or the highlighter duo as I seem to be reaching for those every single day. Plus, the food related names make it even more cuter! 

Let me know down below in the comments what are your favourite product from Soph's latest collab with Makeup Revolution? Which out of the three would you like to try? xo

Hi, dolls!

In today's post, I will be reviewing Wishful's Clean Genie Cleansing Butter. If you're interested to find out all about the makeup remover, let's get right into it!

Clean Genie is described as a cleansing butter infused with green tea and cherry blossom extract to melt away makeup and impurities while keeping skin soft and supple, instead of greasy and dry. It's non-comedogenic, non-acnegenic and cruelty-free. It's suitable for all skin types.

Clean Genie is actually the only Wishful product I haven't tried before, so I was super excited when Huda's team kindly gifted me this cleansing butter. I have to admit, this cleanser is really nice! It truly takes off everything with only a small amount of the product, without irritating my sensitive skin. After using a warm cloth, my face is not only clean but also feels soft and fresh. 

Green Tea Extract - Maintains moisture and soothes skin while visibly clarifying and pulling out impurities for a radiant-looking complexion

Cherry Blossom Extract - Conditions skin, leaving it feeling soft and supple.

Malachite Stone - Known to have antioxidant properties, it keeps skin free from environmental aggressors which contribute to clogged pores and a dull complexion.

1. Scoop a dime-size amount and use fingertips to apply to a dry face.

2. Massage gently to dissolve makeup, dirt and excess oil.

3. Rinse with warm water or wet cloth. 

Wishful's products truly never disappoint! I'm thankful to Huda and her team for gifting me this cleaning butter - I love it. Clean Genie does exactly what it says, plus it has amazing ingredients that make your skin feel refreshed after each use. I am also obsessed how simple yet pretty the packaging of this product is - it's a beautiful addition to my Wishful collection. I do realise this cleanser is on the pricey side but I honestly think it's worth it. I have never used a cleanser that took everything off with only a small amount of the product and left my skin feeling soft and fresh at the same time. I am excited to have this makeup remover in my skincare routine and I recommend you all to check it out!

Huda's newest Cream Glow Lipsticks are intensely pigmented, long-lasting with rich formula and come in a versatile range of nudes and pinks that are set to suit every skin tone. With a medium buildable coverage, expect your lips to look juicy and enhanced via lip-loving ingredients such as Hydraberry, Sea Fennel and Maxi-lip and a barely-there, comfortable feel. 

Before receiving the PR package, I have previously bought the Cream Glow Lipstick in the shade Hustla. I find the lipsticks formula to be super creamy and comfortable to wear. It has buttery texture and feels very hydrating on the lips. I've always been a big fan of creamy lipsticks formulas but this one is just amazing. Huda's team has kindly gifted me with the shades Habibi and Amore, and although at first Hustla was my favourite, now I seem to be loving Habibi more. I am also thinking about grabbing the shade Angel, however it always seems to be sold out everywhere.

Huda has upgraded her previous Lip Contours - the reinvented velvety matte lip pencil is buttery soft, so light on the lips and super easy to use. It comes in 12 universal shades and is long-lasting. You can twist up the pencil and it also comes with a mini sharpener. 

Huda's team has kindly sent me two Lip Contours 2.0 in the shade Pinky Brown and Deep Rose. I find them to truly be super pigmented and long-lasting, they do not move at all, not even after eating. It's very easy to apply with a beautiful range of colours to pick from. I'm happy with both shades because they are absolutely gorgeous and I see myself reaching for both all the time. What I love the most about these lip liners is the fact you can wear it on its own, with a lipstick or even a clear gloss on top. 

Desnudo is a nude eyeshadow palette which includes 12 matte shades, 2 metallics and 1 diamond metallic shade. The packaging is matte black and looks very classy. I think this is the perfect nude palette anyone can ask for - it has all the colours needed to create multiple looks for different occasions.

The shadows perform really well on the eye and are super pigmented as seen on the swatches above. The mattes are very creamy and there is no fall out when applying these on your eyelids. I wish there were more of the metallic shades because they are super gorgeous. I also think $30 is a fair price as this palette is good quality and has better formula to some of drug-store palettes I've tried in the past. 

If you're looking for a good, nude eyeshadow palette and want to support a small business at the same time, then definitely reach out for the Desnudo palette. I'm happy I was able to try it - thank you team xZx Cosmetics for being so kind and sending it to me.
