NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser

NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser

I’ve been hunting high and low for a new base which doesn’t irritate my skin, and after months of going (mostly) bare faced, I decided to take the plunge and splurge on the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser. With such sensitive skin, I’m always hesitant when it comes to trying new face creams or foundations – which is a huge part of why I was so late to the beauty game – so it’s always a relief to come across something new which I can actually use on a daily basis. I picked this up in the shade Light 3/Groenland…

The Autumn/Winter ‘French’ wardrobe

The Autumn/Winter ‘French’ wardrobe

Acne Studios jensen boots And it’s over..! Six months of sticking to a strict set of five items only – except for the basics, of course – and miraculously, I managed to come out the other side with less than five items in the bag, and only a handful of wardrobe essentials added to my closet.

Or perhaps more importantly, roses, hydrangeas, or baby’s breath? I’m still cutting my teeth on all the details…

July Beauty & Fashion Favourites

July Beauty & Fashion Favourites

I received such an overwhelmingly positive response to my combined favourites last month, that I thought I’d continue sharing my beauty and fashion favourites each month, moving forward. Perhaps one of the more exciting favourites of the month – for me at least – has been a new base that I’ve been using; the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser. I have this in the shade Light 3/Groenland, which is a pretty good match for me for the winter. It’s a very light coverage, but evens out my skin tone and adds a light dewiness to my face. I’ve really been…
