Friday Fave! Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-kissed Glow Bronzer.

 Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Sun-kissed Glow Bronzer.

I have long been a huge fan of both Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush powder bronzer and Unisex Healthy Glow tint but the recent introduction of a cream bronzer is literally a dream come true for me!

It is the best cream bronzer by far that I have tried and I have tried quite a few! There are four shades for different skin tones.  I opted for shade 2. Medium but you can also choose from 1. Fair, 3. Tan and 4. Deep.

I like to take a synthetic brush and swirl it gently around the bronzing cream before buffing into the areas of the face the sun naturally hits i.e cheekbones, forehead, nose and jawline. I blend well using the same brush and add more product a little at a time if I think I need it.  This bronzer can also be used on the body and I like to take it down onto the neck and collarbone.

It contains Hyaluronic acid and pro-vitamin D3 to hydrate skin as well as improving the skin's appearance.

If you like a glowy bronzed look and like to use cream blusher this is definitely the product for you, also an excellent choice if you have mature or drier skin rather than using a powder bronzer.

The best bit is it lasts up to 16 hours and is sweat/humidity proof and in the 40 degree heat in the UK this week it didn't budge and certainly passed the test.

This cream bronzer gives such a gorgeous sun-kissed look... I absolutely love it!!  Firmly staying in my makeup bag I will not be without it and a definite Friday Fave!

RRP. £42.00

Friday Fave! Omorovicza Gold Flash Firming Serum

If you are looking to indulge in luxurious skincare then this is surely it!

I have been using the Omorovicza Gold Flash Firming Serum for a couple of months now and I really love the feel of the product and the fact my skin instantly looks and feels healthy and radiant.  I must say I do think the clarity of my skin has improved overall as well.

It is not cheap at £140.00 available at Space NK https://www.spacenk.com/uk/en_GB/home-uk. This is certainly a luxury purchase but I have always chosen to spend more on skincare and I believe this is worth the price tag.

This serum will reduce the signs of ageing by hydrating, smoothing and firming the skin.  It also heals and repairs micro damaged and uneven skin. The complexion instantly appears brighter and healthier.

The serum contains Collodial gold which has inflammatory properties.

An oil free formula suitable for all skin types including sensitive.


*If you are not familiar with face serums this should be used in conjunction with your moisturiser. Apply this first as it will penetrate the skin deeper to deliver the active ingredients then apply your moisturiser on top.

Friday Fave! MAC Shape & Shade Brow Tint.

MAC Shape & Shade Brow Tint is my new favourite go-to product!

I have been using shade 'Fling' for about a month now and I absolutely love it!  I find it really easy to use and it creates natural long lasting defined brows effortlessly.

Dual-ended application.  Although I must admit I mostly just use the felt tip end and feel this is enough for me on its own.  One end consists of coloured powder on a small sponge applicator which you can apply to brows to fill in colour and set,  just using the felt tip end to draw on strokes of hair.  The pen is great if you have sparse brows, it mimics natural hair beautifully.

In my opinion it is the best brow product I have come across in a long time!

The results are also waterproof and long-wearing.

Available in seven shades.

£19.50 www.maccosmetics.co.uk

This weeks 'Friday Fave" is Charlotte Tilbury's new Hollywood FLAWLESS FILTER.

This product achieves a superstar youthful glow, it can be applied all over the face, mixed with foundation for heavier coverage or applied on top of foundation for a highlight.

It has the versatility of a primer, the gorgeous glow of a highlighter, and perfects skin like a digital filter. It helps smooth the skins appearance minimising fine lines and open pores, definitely achieving red-carpet worthy skin.

I like to wear it on its own for glowing coverage or sometimes I pat it onto the high points of the face i.e cheekbones and cupids bow for a beautiful highlight.  It has a definite thumbs up from me!

There are seven shades ranging from '1' to '7', I have been wearing shade '3', described as a neutral peach for light to medium skin.

30ml RRP £30.00
