Finally, I have found myself at a happy place with my skincare regime. Who would have thought? For so long I struggled to be 100 percent happy with every single product I was using and, even though I have been using Avéne every day for at least 2 years now, I never really had this great of a mix of products from the brand. I use a different selection of the products both morning and evening and thought I would show you my evening routine first.
It should come as no surprise that I am a big advocate for holistic healing. After suffering with a chronic disorder for a good few years and then realising that the pain medication I was being pumped with did more harm than good, I decided to take things into my own hands and visit a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Doctor at the Tibb Centre and have never looked back.
Besides skinny jeans, one of the hardest things for me to buy without any stress is foundation. For as long as I can remember, I had to take the pains to buy at least two or three different foundations to create my perfect match which, as you can very well expect, led me to spend an unnecessary amount of money on just one product. In these past 2 months however, it seems as if the beauty universe has finally felt sorry for my suffering and sent three different foundations my way that all seem to tick my boxes and will definitely tick yours too.
While things are slowly going crazy in my academic life and the feeling that I should be studying at every single second of my day becomes more powerful, I recently discovered that the easiest way for me to take a step back and regain focus is by wearing simple, yet well tailored clothes. It’s true that the perfect outfit will make you feel like you have your life together and for me, taking that extra bit of effort when I have no other plans than immersing myself in work, makes the world of difference. The one outfit choice I have been gravitating towards the most is this simple, button-down dress from Mr Price which I picked up a few weeks ago on a whim. I shot this look quite some time ago as I knew that studying will probably take over every minute of my life- which is has and now, while the blog posts are piling up on my desktop and the beauty products up for review are strewn across my room, I figured that now would be a better time as any to take a step back and share this look with you.
Two of the most notable trends for this season are velvet and pleats. Both amazing in their own right but, when paired together, make a strikingly chic and elegant ensemble which hints at hours of planning and attention to detail. Both of these delicate fabrics have been around for ages and now, with their comeback into the fashion world, they are, for the first time, being worn together in the most stylish way.
