Glow

Hey guys! So, Spring is full under way and I know a lot of you girls are going to looking for products to help you shine like the sun, so I’ve decided to give you guys a little run down of the products I like to use on my Dry/Combination skin to help keep me hydrated and glowing! Obviously in the sun you don’t need as much moisture as you do in the colder days but I tend to get dry really easily and jugs not a cute look when I leave my house glowing but have foundation dried up in patches on my face. Here are the products I use on a daily basis to help keep me soft and glowing...

Moisturiser/Suncream: Simple
Suncream is very important to using products that already have it mixed in is a good time saver and a way to make sure you don’t forget to put it on.

Facial Oil: Superdrug Vitamin E Facial Oil
This facil oil is an absolute favourite of mine. I actually got this last year to use while I found one I loved just so I could have extra hydration and ended up loving it so much I didn’t bother looking for another facial oil. It leaves my skin glowing and a little goes a long way! I use a couple of drops morning and night and press it into my skin after toning.

Liquid Highlight: Sleek Barekissed Illuminator
This product is so beautiful and you can build it up as you please! I use a little bit mixed in with my foundation on days where I want to looo extra dewy. It also comes in a couple of colours so you can play around and find what works best for you or you enjoy most.

Powder Highlight: Sleek - Solstice Palette
I’ve been using this palette for the last 2 years or so and I’m just as obsessed as I’ve ever been. I do try other highlighters here and there but as far as drugstore highlighters go, this is a firm favourite and nothing seems to ever outdo this one for me.

That’s pretty much the products I use on a daily for extra glow! Hope this is helpful to you guys and please do share any products you’re in love with so I can give them a go too!

Happy Sunday guys! This last week has been a really busy one for me with most days ending very late, hence the lack of posts. But I have been taking lots of pictures of you guys so you will be getting bonus posts during the week! 

I've had a lovely Sunday with family and just relaxing and catching up on some sleep. I wanted to give you guys a sneak peak of an amazing shoot I did with one of my favourite photographers; Marianne (@marianneolaleye).

I have so much great photos to share with you guys but for now you'll get this one as it's my current "Sunday Mood".

Hope you're all having a wonderful week and have an amazing week ahead of you. x

Brush Me

Brush Me World were nice enough to contact me and offer a discount code for you guys. They sell amazing teeth whitening products that are all natural and cruelty-free. These products are suitable for vegans and smell amazing! All you do is apply a small amount to your toothbrush and brush your teeth with it 2-3 times a week for pearly whites ready for a summer smile. A lot of teeth whitening products can be quite harsh on sensitive teeth so I love that this product is gentle and easy to use.

A Piece of Me

A little while ago I shared these images with you guys which Marianne and I worked on together and I wanted to share the remaining images I had. The story behind the images were all based on a my relationship with my cultural heritage (South Asian) and how I relate to it for an upcoming exhibition Marianne will be holiday. These images are by far some of my favourite that any has ever taken of me and I hope you enjoy them as much I enjoyed being a part of this project with Marianne. Have a look at her website and Instagram for more amazing work. 

Simple Things

A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to work with Marianne Paul, an incredible photographer whom I have admired for her style of work for a while. I reached out to her and we organised a date to shoot together and here are some of my favourites from the shoot (there's more coming soon). 

I had so much fun shooting with Marianne and although we've never worked together before, she made me feel so comfortable with her in front of the camera and I'm so pleased with the outcome. 

Check out her website and her Instagram page for more of her work.
