Spring is just around the corner and everyone is starting to embrace that dewy/ glowy skin look!
Part of achieving this look is a good highlighter!
The highlighter I'm going to be talking about today is Benefit's High Beam.
Definitely not a new product but pretty high profile!
So the basics. This is a liquid highlighter which has a pink tone to it. Ideal for pale people!
Benefit do also have some other liquid highlighters which have different tones to them.
This product can be used in a few different ways, one of which is by simply applying it to the high points of your face using the applicator (or your finger) and blending it out. It can also be used as an illuminator and mixed with your base.
This is a shimmery highlighter so I wouldn't advise using it on your under eye area.
However this highlighter is the right type of shimmery as it's shimmer & not chunky glitter.
My favourite way to use this is as a brow highlight and then set it with a powder eyeshadow.
This can also apply to the cheekbones, but I only tend to do that in the summer.
If you want to try this product I would try & get hold of a sample size first because one it's not cheap and two you don't really need more than a sample size!
This product literally never ends! It will probably go off before you get to finish it!

Do you think I like Urban Decay eyeshadow palettes? Oops!
Sorry, not sorry ;)
In my defence though this palette is a little different as it is an all matte palette. So that makes it fine, right?
This is the Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 palette.
First of all I think this palette is my favourite of all the Naked packaging, I love the feel & look of it.
I love Urban Decay eyeshadows as a whole, they are amazing quality and these are exactly what I expected!
Below is a full review video of this palette, including some swatches:

Sunday is one of my favourite days, I don't work on sundays so I get to just chill!
With that comes a little extra time for some skincare treats.
This sunday I will be talking about my favourite face scrub EVER.
I have tried quite a few scrubs & face washes but nothing keeps my skin clear like this product.
The product I'm talking about is the Neutrogena visibly clear Blackhead Eliminating Scrub.
So firstly this product is a drugstore skincare brand, so it's very affordable. It retails for only £3.79!
This range tends to go on offer quite a bit as well (e.g. 2 for £5, 3 for 2, etc).
This scrub is obviously aimed at clearing blackheads but I also feel like it works great for spots/ blemishes. I prefer this to Neutrogena's spot control scrub.
There are micro-beads in the scrub which diffuse as you massage it into the skin. This stops the manual exfoliation of the product from being to harsh. If you have very dry skin though it might still be too harsh. I also use this daily like it states on the label, which shows how gentle the product is.
To be honest I think this has to be a 'holy grail' product for me because no scrub I've used works for my skin like this. That said though everyone's skin is different, so please take that into account.
My skin type is combo/ oily.
Surely at only £3.79 it's worth a try anyway?!

You guys might not know this but I actually had micro ring extensions fitted just before Christmas.
The reason you guys won't have known is because they didn't stay there for very long.
I had planned on reviewing them whatever the outcome was, good or bad.
Sadly it wasn't a great experience.
Here is how they looked when they were put in.
I love them & still think they look amazing & sometimes I wish I had stuck it out.
However the pain!
The point of this review video is to tell you all that micro ring extensions aren't for everyone!
All I saw were amazing life changing stuff reviews, so I thought the other side needed to be put out there.
