Hey everyone! I don't know about you but whenever seasons change I tend to go through phases of wanting to try different kinds of makeup. Right now it's finally summer here in the UK and it's been nice out (although right now its chucking it down outside ) so I have been more interested in stereotypical summery makeup products.

Milk Matte bronzer in Baked.

I would like to say that I entirely blame my friend Lisa for wanting this. As a side note, she also has a blog and posts pretty similar content (including indie eyeshadows) a link to her blog will be at the bottom of this post! After she told me how much she likes it I started looking up swatches and other reviews and now I have convinced myself I need it. It's a cream bronzer that is described as a super blendable formula that looks natural on the skin, which sounds perfect to me. I've also never actually tried cream bronzers before so I'm excited to see how it works on me, I'm just waiting until it comes back in stock to pick it up.

Fenty Sunstalk'r Bronzer

Another bronzer? Absolutely. I have been faithful to my good old trusty Benefit Hoola bronzer but I feel like it might be time for a change. I've only tried a couple of things from Fenty but liked them all, so I'd love to try some more from their range. One slight dilemma I have is I can't decide between the two lightest shades, although I think I might be leaning more towards Shady Biz.

Fenty Lip Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick

This name is ridiculously long but I have to say that I understand why the name is so long, I like all the adjectives here. It's no secret that I am a fan of sheer, balm-like lip products. I love Fenty's gloss formula so I think I'd probably enjoy this formula too. The shade range is gorgeous too, as usual Fenty knocked it out the park with their colours. I'm eyeing up Cookies & Cocoa and Tang Thang but to be honest all the colours are so great I'm having difficulties choosing between them.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Dewy Set Setting Spray

I don't really know why but I associate summer with mini setting sprays, I'm guessing it has something to do with travelling but again I'm not sure. Anyway, ABH released some minis of their setting spray, which I have never tried before. I haven't tried the original scent as its coconut scented, which isn't my favourite scent, so I was excited to see they had released two more scents (the other scent is mango). I'm not sure that this spray actually extends the wear of makeup, I assume its more like MAC Fix + than Urban Decay All Nighter. Either way I'd intrigued and will hopefully be able to pick it up soon.

This is the final look for Pride month 2020! This look is of course based on the traditional pride flag. I had a lot of fun creating this series and I'm already looking forward to next years Pride celebrations. Hopefully by next year everything will have calmed down and we'll be able to celebrate pride properly by being together instead of social distancing.

Thanks for reading, stay safe and happy Pride!

I've been interested in trying out Devinah Cosmetics eyeshadows for a while now, it's one of those indie brands that creates really interesting shades. I decided to pick up 10 shades from Devinah to kind of get an overall feel for the brand. I can already say that just after having them for about a week I already am compiling a list of other shades I want to buy from them.

I liked the look of the Candy Cakes collection but ultimately decided to just buy the two shades that I thought I would get the most use out of so I just picked up Pancake Bubbles and Mystic Moonpie. I have to say that this purchase was worth it purely for the names (particularly Pancake Bubbles) as the names just make me laugh for some reason. The shadows themselves are lovely too, Pancake Bubbles is a pale yellow gold with a blue shift, at certain angles it can look a little bit pink too. Mystic Moonpie is a deep taupe with a warm purple base and a touch of blue sparkle.

Erratic is a gorgeous metallic taupe (with a hint of rose gold) to it and has a strong silver sheen to it. It feels really smooth, you may be able to see in the swatches but this shade looks like liquid metal, it is stunning!

Thalassic was another shade that I fell for quite quickly. There is one shade in the ABH x Jackie Aina called Sponsored and Thalassic gave me me a similar vibe, I have really gotten into neutral shades with duochrome green shift to them. Even better though is that Thalassic is a multichrome and it has a blue purple shift to it, which you'll be able to see in the swatches below. I think this might be my favourite shade I picked up.

The colour I knew I needed was Asteria, I have not seen another eyeshadow quite like it. It's a multichrome that shifts from green-brown to orange-red. When I wore it on my eyes it looked purple when in low artificial light. t's such a unique shade, I'm not sure how to describe it fully but one thing is for sure, this is an insane eyeshadow.

Gellicide is a pink with s gold shift. It was a shade that I wasn't completely sure if I needed but for some reason I kept on going back and adding it to my cart. I don't think it's a shade I'll sure as frequently as the others I've picked up but in a weird way I think this colour will get me out of my comfort zone.

I wanted to try their matte formula as I had heard some good things about it, however I was a bit scared to order more mattes as I had heard that they can be a bit delicate so I was worried they'd break on the way to me. I didn't have any problems though.

I knew that I wanted to pick up Courtney as it's one of those legendary shades thats unique at least for singe shadows. I have wanting to dupe the vibes of the Melt Gemini palette and this colour is amazing. I've seen it described as a pea soup colour and that is honestly a perfect description.

Kalon and Crixus look way more similar than I thought they'd be. There is a slight difference in undertone and depth but from looking at them in the pan and in the swatches, they do look a bit too similar for me to say that you need both.

Meraki is far more purple toned than I was expecting. When researching it was described as a mauve or looked more mauve than it does in real life. I'm definitely not disappointed, it's a gorgeous colour. When swatched, it does look a little like Amethyst from the Huda Beauty Desert Dusk palette, although it leans more mauve compared to Amethyst.

Overall I'm really happy with the shades I picked up and I'm excited to start using them frequently. I've already used a couple of the shimmers and one of the mattes but I want to get a better feel for how these shadows perform. So far I've really enjoyed having them in my collection and I already have another Devinah singles wishlist.

Thanks for reading and stay safe!
