7 affordable beauty brands I love

Let’s start this post by saying, yes, I know I’ve already written about some affordable brands, but these are new and I’m so excited about them!

I’ve been doing a lot of research and looking at a lot of brands that are out there and trying to find those few brands that I actually like. There are some big brands that I think are amazing and some smaller brands that I think are great as well. I’ve tried some of the bigger brands before and I think I may have been let down because the price was so high. I’m hoping this time around I can find some awesome brands that will be more affordable. I love the fact that a lot of these brands I’m talking about don’t use animal testing or animal products. It’s important to me that the products I’m using have a low or no impact on the environment.

These are brands I’m most excited about so far:

Pony

I found out about Pony through a beauty blogger. I really like her blog and she does amazing reviews. I really like her style and thought she was a great person to follow and I found her blog to be really informative. I love the fact that Pony isn’t just a cosmetics brand. They are all natural and all products are cruelty-free.

Top Sephora makeup finds

We have all heard the saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” but if you want to be that beholder, you have to find the perfect makeup to match.

This month, I have put together a list of the top Sephora makeup finds to suit a variety of skin tones. This is the type of makeup that I wear every single day of my life because it perfectly matches my skin tone.

1. Purity Complex Skin Foundation in 110 Natural Light ($40)

This is the perfect match for my skin tone, because I have light brown to golden undertones that are balanced with cool undertones. I prefer the Purity Complex Skin Foundation to the more expensive and popular Purity Complex Skin Luminous Face Powder, because I am using it as a skin foundation and I don’t want to have to use an additional setting powder.

The Purity Complex Skin Foundation is buildable and comes in a handy travel size, which makes it convenient to bring on the go with you. It’s the perfect color match for me, and it doesn’t look cakey or heavy, which is the main concern for many people with oily skin.

2. The Nude Collection Blush in The Muse ($25)

The Nude Collection Blush in The Muse ($25) is the perfect match for me because it is an almost nude shade of a blush that comes with a bright orange shimmer that brings a youthful glow to my complexion. I tend to lean towards warm, light, and yellow toned blushes, which The Muse Blush is an excellent match for. I was worried that this blush would look overly pink in a warm setting, but I have found that it looks best with my warm undertones.

The blush is lightweight, so it’s easy to blend and use. It comes in a handy 3-ounce case, which makes it easy to travel with me. It’s the perfect shade of blush to use if you want to buildable blush that has a youthful, glow-y feel on your skin.

3. The Nude Collection Liquid Liner in The Muse ($28)

The Nude Collection Liquid Liner in The Muse ($28) is a perfect match for my skin tone because it’s a very light and sheer pink tone that matches my undertones perfectly. If I didn’t have a liner that matched my undertones, I would probably not have a liner because the color tends to look harsh. But, The Muse Liquid Liner blends into my skin seamlessly, and it gives me a very light yet subtle definition line that’s perfect for my understated look.

The Nude Collection Liquid Liner is a long lasting, black liner that will stay on my eyelids all day with ease. It also comes in a handy travel size case, which is perfect for me to use on the go. It’s easy to use, and it’s easy to clean off with soap and water when you’re finished.

4. Graftobian Skin Perfecting Powder ($30)

Graftobian Skin Perfecting Powder ($30) is a perfect match for my skin tone because I have a golden undertones that are balanced with cool undertones, which is a perfect match for this powder. It comes in a handy travel size that makes it easy to bring with me on the go. It’s great for setting my makeup, but it’s also great for a day-long powder that’s buildable and lightweight.

This is one of the most popular Sephora makeup finds that comes with a handy travel size because it blends into the skin like a second skin. It’s great for a light foundation that gives me a subtle and perfect amount of coverage, but it also does a great job at evening out any redness that may appear under my skin.

5. The Nude Collection Skin Tinting Spray ($18)

The Nude Collection Skin Tinting Spray ($18) is a perfect match for my skin tone because I have cool undertones that are balanced with golden undertones, which is why I prefer to use a spray tan. I love the light coverage of the Nude Collection Skin Tinting Spray, and I use it to give my skin a natural looking tan without using a spray tan or tanning lotion. I apply the spray directly to my face and my body, and it’s easy to blend and work into my skin. It comes in a handy travel size that makes it easy to travel with me.

I love this product because it’s the best option for those who are looking for a natural looking spray tan, but it also does an excellent job at covering blemishes, scars, and redness. It also smells amazing.

Best glitter nail polish of 2021

Glitter nail polish is an absolute must for a party or holiday. And while we love glitter in all its forms, it’s not the only way to achieve this shimmer. You can also create this gorgeous look with the help of glitter top coats and opaque glitter polishes.

To make your glitter nails last all day, apply a base coat first. It’ll help prevent the polish from chipping. If you’re concerned about the base coat chipping, apply top coat after your base coat to help prevent further damage.

The best way to create these nails is to first apply two coats of your favorite glitter nail polish. If you prefer a matte finish, apply three to four coats.

For the most glittery results, apply a top coat to smooth the polish out, and add glitter. Apply a thin layer and allow the glitter to settle in. Use a flat and clean nail brush to brush it into the corners and edges of the polish. You can also add glitter to the tips of your nails.

Once you’re satisfied with your glitter polish, seal your nails in a base coat and apply top coat to seal the polish. This will protect your nails and keep them shiny all day long.

Best gel nail polish finishes

If you’re tired of the simple glossy gel nail polish finish and want to spice up your manicure with a special finish and stand out from the crowd then here are the best gel nail polish finishes that the nail industry offers today.

They are all easy to achieve both in a salon environment and at home for a DIY manicurist. If you go to a salon ask your nail technician for a special finish and they will always offer several options for you because they buy their gel nail polishes and other nail products in bulk so they may have several special finish polishes or top coats for you to choose from. Plus a nail technician will always be aware of new technologies, trends, and products in their industry. That’s why they’ll be more than happy to create one of these finishes on your nails.

And if you want to create this kind of finish at home then you can buy professional-level gel nail polishes, top coats, and special powders to make your dream come true. You won’t believe how easy it is to create these special finishes at home once you get the hang of it.

Matte finish

The most classy and elegant of them all is the matte finish for the nails. This is the most trendy gel nail polish finish these days on Instagram and Pinterest.

Matte gel nails are the ones that don’t have any luster or shine. They are loved by everyone because they can instantly elevate your look and match perfectly with both light and dark colors. Matte nails are also great for a wedding. You can add some glitter or rhinestones to them and they will look stunning. Or wear them with no other adornments to the workplace. Most nail technicians should be able to create the matte finish on your nails for you. It’s very easy to achieve by just painting a single layer of a special matte gel top coat over your preferred gel nail polish after it has been cured. So if you buy a matte top coat you can easily do it at home.

You can create a mega-trendy double-finish design on your matte nails. Just place a tape over part of your nail and cover the rest of it with the matte gel top coat, cure it in the lamp and then remove the tape. Cover the rest of your nail with a glossy top coat and cure it and you’ll have an original and super-stylish design on your nails with minimal effort. No need to do any complex nail art or use a special brush.

Pearlescent finish

Pearlescent finish instantly makes your gel nails look amazingly cute and pretty. It also elevates any look and looks elegant and classy without being tacky. This finish is achieved by rubbing a special pearlescent powder over the uncured gel top coat. This powder is usually white with a pearl shimmer so it looks best over light gel nail polishes, and is traditionally being used over white gel nail polish. Although you can certainly make it work with dark nail colors too.

Pearl finish is the absolute best gel nail polish finish for the wedding. Your nails will look like pearls and will match your wedding dress and pearl and diamond jewelry perfectly. The rosy glow will make your hands look stunning in your wedding photos.

Glitter finish

The glitter finish is perfect for a party, date night, or in some cases even a wedding. This finish is super-glamorous. It can be done by using a glitter gel nail polish or by rubbing a glitter powder over an uncured gel top coat. Glitter looks perfect with a glossy top coat but it can also be combined with a matte top coat for an interesting effect.

Color-changing gel nail polish

Color-changing nail polish is the ultimate of nail art trends right now. So many nail blogs and nail shows suggest this finish. This is a personal favorite because it adds some kind of nail art to your gel nails but not to the point that it looks tacky or fake. This is great for special occasions like weddings or bachelorette parties.

A great and trendy way to create a color-changing effect at home is by using nail polishes with special pigments that react to the surrounding temperature.

These pigments will change color based on your body’s temperature.

Chunky glitter and confetti gel nail polish

These polishes have metallic or confetti flakes that look amazing against a shiny finish.

So if you want to get the glamorous effect that everyone craves, any chunky glitter or confetti gel nail polish is the best way to achieve it.

Plus it can be combined with matte gel polish for a lovely velvety effect with contrasting sequins.

Skincare routine on a budget

This guide will help you develop a routine for healthy, glowing skin without breaking the bank!

Welcome to my new series, ‘skincare routines on a budget’. Today we are going to look at how to create a regular routine on the budget, using the same products time after time to get nice, radiant skin. To put it simply, it won’t be difficult and will keep you saving money as you stop buying expensive goods and constantly up selling.

Skin Essentials

This is going to make up a large part of your routine. Your skin needs a certain amount of vitamins and hydration to look its best and it needs regular nourishment to keep it in good shape. A simple vitamin enriched skincare product is the best to start with. It should be ideally purchased through the supermarket as opposed to on the high street. This is partly because the value has been set by the factory and the high street value is determined by a different set of factories, ie. They are very different in quality, and partly because of the cheaper packaging so they tend to be a little bit less hygienic in my opinion.

Cleanser

The routine starts with a cleansing product. When I get a cleanse, I use a mild cleanser. It’s either a baby cleanser or it’s a sponge. It’s quite expensive to buy these on the high street. I tend to choose baby products when it comes to cleansing and simply get refills. I’ve been quite successful with using sansevier (milk or coconut) to cleanse my face, it’s quite low in price, and has hardly any smell. If you prefer a cleanser with a foam to a solution, and you don’t have a face brush, I would recommend taking up your friends company to do some make-up shopping, as they often have quite bargain but sometimes you will come out with something you really like.

Toner

When you don’t follow cleansing, your next step is toner. Toners are not as expensive as they seem, however, they come in a variety of forms which can be a bit tricky to choose.

The 100% vegetable toner from asos is very cheap and a really good start. Not everyone will need a toner, but it will depend on your skin type. If you have oily skin, you don’t really need a toner and you may be better off buying a cleanser which does some work cleansing as well, but for everything else, using a toner works well. I also find that when toning is done well, your make up won’t seem patchy.

Serum

Now that we’ve got the basics of cleansing and toning done, we move onto serums. A serum is going to help repair and correct any skintiffic issues and also any problem skin areas. This could be dry spots, discolouration, blackheads and much more.

My favourite serum is this organic double nourishing serum from eden but sadly, this doesn’t work with some of my current beauty regime so I have to try to balance that out somehow. I also purchased the Radiance package from glow for the body, to which I have added: Serum Mist, Bio Oxygenator, Nu skin vitality drink and an exfoliation for the eyes.

Moisturizer

The first step to getting lovely skin is moisturizing. Again, a lot of people think that they don’t need a moisturizer.

I’ve spoken about the myth of ‘SPF’ creams and that you’ll actually need to reapply. Even though they advertise in the salon that their SPF is up to 50, they only last about five or six hours. Apply once at the start of the day before using your moisturizer and wear sun protection to prevent damage.

I prefer to buy an organic body moisturiser because it lasts a long time and is organic and non sticky. I have been using this one from The Ordinary which I quite liked for some reason and maybe it’s because it seems to moisturise without irritating my sensitive skin. If this were to go on a visit to the high street, it will most likely be a lot more expensive.

Sun protection

As we age, our bodies change and it is important to protect our skin properly. We should look to our skin as our hair is the next layer, because if that is looking bad, it is only a matter of time before the layers beneath follow suit. We need to look out for skin damage, an area of dark spots on the skin that can spread easily. Sunscreen is our best weapon in preventing the ageing process.

This was the basic budget-friendly skincare routine I came up with and I hope it will help you too! Let me know if you are interested in reading more in this series!

How to know if you’re using the right concealer

Have you ever wondered if your concealer might not be the one you really need?

It may sound like an obvious fact, but not every concealer is designed for every kind of skin. Depending on what kind of skin you have—dry, oily, combination, acne-prone, sensitive or sensitive—you will need to choose the correct concealer or product for the kind of skin that you have.

Dry skin concealers

Since dry skin tends to be less porous, foundation can usually be used without fear of your concealer rubbing through. While this type of product is good for normal to dry skin, it is also great to cover up any issues you have like blemishes. Choose a product that has a smooth consistency that doesn’t gather much if any product on your skin’s surface, and you can blend in foundation. Any product will work fine for this type of skin, but if it’s very prone to creasing, the oil-based products are great. If you have an oily face, opt for a stick product, as this tends to last longer.

Oily skin concealers

These products are mostly not for dry skin, as foundation tends to not apply to the oily skin well. Typically, this type of product will have a consistency that melts into skin but will not clog pores. Be careful if you’re using this type of product in a warm or warm-humid environment, as it tends to melt a lot faster in warmer conditions.

Every skin type needs a right makeup style: In this article we will discuss the step by step guide to picking out the right concealer to suit your individual needs.

Blemish Concealer

Since blemishes are not covered under the term acne, this type of concealer tends to be used to cover acne scars and skin spots. If you have minor blemishes around your nose, these concealers will work really well. They can be used to also disguise your eye circles as well, making them look less prominent.

Touchable Concealer

Your confidence plays an important role in your makeup. An effective foundation application is the first step towards achieving this confidence, but even after this, if you use the right product to hide your blemishes and other imperfections, you will feel more confident that no one will see what you’re hiding.

The touchable concealers that we’re about to mention work great on their own or as base products to any regular concealer, but one type of concealer that you should avoid using, at least for the most part, is the concealer that has a thin layer of powder on top of it. Since it tends to be designed to look more like a light or powdery coverage foundation, this type of concealer can accentuate some of your imperfections more than you think.

The Perfect Skin Perfecting Concealer is a safe, flexible and washable formula that will cover most of your blemishes without leaving any flaking, drying or irritating residue. With this type of formula, you can use it all over the face and on your eyelids for a flawless finish every time. It’s made in a recyclable PET water bottle to protect the environment.

The ULTRA Glow Concealer is a unique formulation that consists of organic European Shea Butter and very finely milled wheat flour in a make-up gel formula that offers medium to full coverage and ultra-smooth, soft-focus under eye look. It’s ultra creamy, and just because it has a small cap and wide bore hole, there’s no need to shake before applying!

For some people, concealer is the most effective tool. Apply concealer with fingers or makeup brushes to blemishes, areas you’re trying to conceal or conceal under eyes.

1. Buy a foundation

Established foundations are relatively affordable in Australia, but starting from an affordable level is where they often cost as much as the best foundations.

Therefore, in order to keep up with the competition in the market, go straight to the market and buy a foundation from one of the affordable level up to “richer”, and even more for the rich-to-top-range range.

2. Choose the right foundation

Choosing the right foundation depends on your skin type. Choose a foundation that matches the most appropriate under-skin coverage, any darker foundation will end up looking heavier.

3. Foundation work: What to apply

Apply all over the face until you see any areas where your skin looks darker than others. When applying, go for the bright areas first. Using fingers or a sponge, blend everything out. For other areas, you may use a brush or patting.

4. Under-eye concealer

For under eye concealer, using the skin which is right above the rim of your eye, only half an inch over the crease, or until the skin that becomes slightly yellow.

The end result of applying concealer to this area is to erase any dark circles that appear right above the rim of your eyes, without blackening up the rest of your face with too much product.

5. Buff away

When applied lightly, concealer can work as a slim-slim buffer. You can first put concealer in the centre of your face (around your nose, where skin is normal in colour), and then move the edges to frame the other areas of your face. Buff a thin layer of concealer and pat. To add in more length to your foundation, blot it with a tissue for a few seconds.

6. Set and blend

After applying, set your foundation with a foundation brush. To achieve a well-blended result, work on three areas: the center, the sides and the corners. You may also work your way to the edges and back to the center. Blend in the outer, inner, top and bottom areas and ensure that the product is blended and sealed out. Buffing is required in order to evenly distribute the setting products.

7. Perfect under eye concealer

Apply a primer for the under eye area, one that has oil-free and alcohol-free ingredients. Allow the product to be absorbed. Start with an oil-free primer such as and This will allow you to base the concealer on. Then, set it using another concealer that has oil in it. Next, apply concealer only around the edges, and set with a powder product. Add coverage to any visible areas that need it. Brush away any fall-out and blend.

A great tip to follow is to check for your brows every now and then. You can use false ones, fake lashes, pencils, pencils or brush the brows (best with brow colour)

8. Blending

Blend your concealer with a damp makeup sponge. Concentrate on making a matte, even finish, being careful not to rub the product into the skin.

The Perfect Skin Perfecting Concealer has a wide bore and just a small dip in the middle for a comfortable application. Its rose color is soft and round, giving your makeup a natural feel. It’s water-resistant and can even be removed with a damp makeup sponge.

Like the Perfect Skin Perfecting Concealer, The P.S. Easy-Peasy Cover Stick in light gives a natural and fresh appearance. It can be used on all skin types.

It has excellent flexibility and flexibility, making it very easy to blend in with just a finger or a brush. You can use this product alone or you can use it as the base layer of your foundation.

Botanist Concealer with Oil in medium is suitable for all skin types. It is great for oily and acne-prone skin. It provides a great dewy glow. It is easy to use, and it is easily blendable. This product creates a fresh and natural look.

I’m not saying you don’t need to use it, but it is best to use a little to conceal anything. You only need a few strokes or layers at most to hide any imperfections, and you will blend with no problem. Then apply top-lip products like A Kissable Lip Balm in Red Pearl which is my signature lip product, makes your lips look fuller and more sensual.

Thickness of concealer you use also matters. If the concealer is too light, it will melt off.

Concealer that thicken up to 2-3 uses on the face, look like it works better in the long term, like a bottle that can go for many uses.

Best to use around the eyes as well, so any time you need to highlight some parts of the face, you can use eyeshadow or eye liner.
