Simply put it’s the… RAE MORRIS INVISBLE MATTIFIER This invisible mattifier powder transforms my everyday makeup! I use it as a primer AND finishing powder. It not only extends the wear of my makeup, it controls shine throughout, and the science behind the formula is pretty cool: “The soft-focus, mattifying effect of this luxurious powder is due to silicone resin microspheres, which deflect light in different directions to create a smooth, even surface and blur imperfections.” – Cult Beauty I’ve been using it religiously and I’m so pleased with it that I had to share it with you!

It’s been a couple of years since I purchased my first pair of Loubs! It’s also been a while since I thought me owning a £500 pair of shoes was really needed… Until now. Lol!

I’ve been having another wardrobe declutter and refresh this weekend, and figuring out what I’m keeping, tossing, selling and giving away! I used the Chart below as a guide to help me. I found it while searching through the webs, and it’s been really helpful, so I thought to share it with you! Chart 1 It’s been therapeutic, and It’s also allowed me to create space for new things. Are you due for a Wardrobe Clear out? Can you let me know how the Chart works for you if you try it out? I’m going to be spending the rest of this… Read More »

I love this quote by Coco Chanel. So often society tries to dictate to us it’s standards of beauty, but let’s not forget the beauty of being ourselves. ❤️
