NYX Haul Review

NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Foundation
This is my favourite day time foundation, I wear this day to day going to work and what I love about it is the coverage it gives me and the fact that it’s long lasting. I do have to wear a primer underneath to get the full days wear. The name states its Matte but not flat, but I don’t find this foundation mattifying at all, if anything it leaves a dewy type finish on the skin and because I like a matte finish on my skin, I do have to mattify it with a powder. I wish there were more shades in this foundation.

NYX HD Concealer
I use this concealer for under eyes, to cover up dark circles, the concealer is quite lightweight and I have often read that it’s a cheaper dupe for the NARS Radiant Concealer, it feels really light on the under eye area and give good coverage, however, I felt that around 4-5 hours later the layer started to become more transparent and started to fade away. I do like this product but, I just don’t love it.

NYX Liquid Illuminator
This product intrigued me a lot, I had read loads about it, and having never owned a highlighter, I decided I would give it ago. I think I'm going to be a big fan! I use the highlighter all the time now and has become a part of my daily make up routine. I applied the highlighter on the spots that the natural light would hit my face over my foundation and I felt that it gave me a lovely light glow. I applied literally the TINIEST amount, I didn’t even squeeze the tube just rubbed off the excess and that was honestly enough.  There is a darker highlighter which is suitable for darker skin tones.

All in all, I can safely say I am now a huge fan of NYX products and look forward to my collection growing.

Sugar and Crumb Icing Sugar Review

Good Morning Everyone. I love to cook, I love to bake and love to try new things. Hence why I started a cake and bakes business. There is one thing I love more than anything and that's trying new flavours. This is where the amazing brand Sugar and Crumbs come in. Sugar and Crumb have an amazing range of natural icing sugar and cocoa powder  that I just couldn’t refuse trying out. Not only that, it was the perfect excuse to bake cake!  Sugar and Crumb have a large number of icing sugars so I took the plunge and purchased a couple. Jaffa Twist, Bubble Gum, Coconut & Lime and White Chocolate and Raspberry. The package is stylish and  eye catching when it arrived. It contains recipes for simple cupcakes and also butter cream icing using the product. What I was also pleasantly surprised to find they can also be used to make fudge, meringues, marshmallows and other delicious treats. Obviously, I will be giving these a go at a later stage. A...
