Gone But Never Forgotten

August 8, 2016August 9, 2016 ~ Latifa @blogcreatifa ~ 5 Comments

8th August 1994. I remember it like it was yesterday. My aunt had been battling against lung cancer when we got the dreaded call... they were switching off the life support machine. My aunt was the eldest of mum's siblings, and I can say without doubt that I got the most love from her than … Continue reading Gone But Never Forgotten

I’ll Never Forget

February 21, 2015March 3, 2015 ~ Latifa @blogcreatifa ~ 8 Comments

I'll Never forget... Monday, the 21st of February, 2000. The doctor had said mum could come home for the weekend but it'd probably be the last time that she did. Dad kept repeating those words and crying, as we were following the ambulance back to the hospice. Dad used to break down all the time … Continue reading I’ll Never Forget

๐ŸŒธPoppy & Barley๐ŸŒธ I've been obsessed with this @JoMaloneLondon cologne since its release a few weeks ago. It's a light floral scent, fresh and not too sweet. I love it on its own for day to day use and I layer it over Myrrh & Tonka for that something extra. What's your favourite Jo Malone London fragrance? . . . #PoppyAndBarley #fragrancecombining #JoMaloneLondonUK #JoMaloneLondon #TeamJoMaloneLondon #scentoftheday #perfume #perfumecollection #cologne #colognecollection #fragrance #fragrancecollection #jomalone #fragrancelover #bbloggers #discoverunder5k #instablogger #londonmakeupartist #londonmua #makeupartistlondon #mualondon #beautyaccount #slaytheflatlay #flatlay #blogcreatifa

My #tenyearchallenge ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ How boujie was I?? ๐Ÿ˜† . ๐Ÿ”น๏ธ I didn't used to use a primer. I still don't most days. #yolo โœŒ๐Ÿฝ ๐Ÿ”น๏ธ @maccosmeticsuk Studio Fix Fluid and Pro Longwear Concealer were the only base products I used for years. @bobbibrownuk Dark peach corrector and concealer. They used to crease under my eyes but I didn't know any better, so kept using them. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐Ÿ”น๏ธ The @esteelauderuk face palette was bae (as you may be able to tell). The setting powder in it was perfection. It was finely milled and undetectable on the face. I went through many compacts until it was discontinued. ๐Ÿ˜ซ ๐Ÿ”น๏ธ @diormakeup Eyeshadow Palette and Cheek palettes were also favourites and used a lot. ๐Ÿ”น๏ธ I forgot to put my liquid eyeliner in the pic. You can swipe to see it. It was lovely to use but I discovered felt tip and gel liners soon after and never really went back. ๐Ÿ”น๏ธ I wasn't fussy with mascaras and used the Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme mascara or Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye mascara (not pictured). ๐Ÿ”น๏ธ I had one Dior lip liner that I used with everything and a handful of lipsticks that have all been almost entirely used up. All of them were dark nudes. Not much has changed there. You may notice there's no brow products. I don't think I used to fill in my brows ten years ago. I had just had a baby. I was lucky if I combed through my hair, never mind my brows. ๐Ÿ˜… What was your makeup routine like ten years ago? What's the biggest change? Mine has to be loose powder and setting spray. #bobbibrown #diormakeup #esteelauder #maccosmetics #highendmakeup #makeupcollection #bbloggers #discoverunder5k #instablogger #londonmakeupartist #londonmua #makeupartistlondon #mualondon #instamakeup #slaytheflatlay #makeupaccount #beautyaccount #makeupaddict #makeupjunkie #makeuplover #makeupobsessed #makeupflatlay #flatlay #motd #makeupoftheday #makeupmess #blogcreatifa

My mini @KikoMilano haul. I can't walk past a Kiko store and not go in. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ The lip liners are amongst my favourite. I used to love their Precision Lip Liners but sadly they were discontinued. Kiko does good quality products at a very affordable price point. The packaging is always on point. Have you tried anything from this brand? What are your favourites? Swipe for swatches. L to R: ๐Ÿ–Dark Treasure Lip Liner 08 (dark brown with a slight shimmer) Limited Edition. ๐Ÿ–Creamy Colour Comfort Lip Liners in 320 Chestnut and 315 Intense Mauve (these are very matte). ๐Ÿ–3D Hydra Lipgloss in 21 Brun Rose and 19 Cream Cashmere. Along the bottom: ๐Ÿ–Magnetic Loose Powder Eyeshadow 02 (bronze, very sparkly). . Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. ๐Ÿค— #kikotrendsetters #kiko #kikomilano #makeuphaul #haul #makeupcollection #bbloggers #discoverunder5k #instablogger #londonmakeupartist #londonmua #makeupartistlondon #mualondon #instamakeup #slaytheflatlay #makeupaccount #beautyaccount #makeupaddict #makeupjunkie #makeuplover #makeupobsessed #makeupflatlay #flatlay #motd #makeupoftheday #makeupmess #blogcreatifa
