Focus on flawless with Environ Skin Care - Product Review

Over the course of this past month I’ve been trying out 3 products from the Environ Focus Care Range that targets specific skin conditions with the promise of more youthful, hydrated skin. I have been using Environ Skincare for more than 20 years now but I still saw remarkable results by adding these couple of products to my skin care regime! Can’t wait to share my experience with you.

HOW TO: WINGED LINER FOR HOODED EYES
HOW TO: WINGED LINER FOR HOODED EYES

I love a graphic eyeliner. From gels and liquids to felt tips and stencils, I've tried them all! Only to watch the perfectly crafted shape disappear under the fold of my crease as I open my eyes (which seems to be getting worse with age!). So rather than having a brow-lift I decided to lift my spirits instead, by creating a fool-proof winged liner for hooded eyes.

My fear of frosty blue eyeshadow runs deep. You always end up looking like you're heading to a 60's/80's/2000's dress-up.  Yet, with trend-setters such as Pat McGrath, Rihanna and Kim Kardashian launching their eyeshadow palettes, the colour is making headlines once again. 

The trend that has re-emerged has less of a frosty effect but rather a foiled finish and the tones vary from electric blue to deep navy. Of course I had to put it to the test!  I have created a quick and easy tutorial which will have you looking on-trend in no time!  I hope you guys enjoy this tutorial, don't forget to like and subscribe for more!

When it comes to individual falsies, I always have leftover long lashes. I rarely use the long ones and I can't throw it away! So I thought, let me put the leftover lashes to good use and have some fun!

I wasn't quite sure where this tutorial would take me but I ended up creating a modern version of the iconic 60's Twiggy/Cher makeup look.  I hope you enjoy this tutorial and please don't forget to like and subscribe for more!

For this tutorial the eyes are definitely the stars of the show. It is refreshing to do a look that is not so "on fleek" but rather very, very chic.

Online beauty shopping has nothing on walking into Sephora on Champs Élysees. I bought what I could within our timeframe (there is not enough time in the world). Naturally, I had to show you everything I bought in a single tutorial.

The first rain has fallen, and what better way to celebrate the arrival of summer than with a rainbow makeup look.

Bright colours can appear flat on photographs, especially where only one colour is used. A wash of bright pink in this case. I like to use the halo or spotlight technique to add dimension.
