When I Was Just A Little Girl…

April 10, 2015December 15, 2015 ~ Latifa @blogcreatifa ~ 19 Comments

As a child, I used to curl up next to my dad while he was watching television or reading the paper. I used to watch my mum get ready and admire her Elizabeth Arden makeup and her Chanel No.5 perfume. When my parents were eating, if there was something they knew I liked, they would … Continue reading When I Was Just A Little Girl…

My #tenyearchallenge 💁🏾‍♀️ How boujie was I?? 😆 . 🔹️ I didn't used to use a primer. I still don't most days. #yolo ✌🏽 🔹️ @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. 🤦🏽‍♀️ 🔹️ 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. 😫 🔹️ @diormakeup Eyeshadow Palette and Cheek palettes were also favourites and used a lot. 🔹️ 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. 🔹️ I wasn't fussy with mascaras and used the Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme mascara or Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye mascara (not pictured). 🔹️ 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. 😅 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. 🤷🏾‍♀️ 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: 🖍Dark Treasure Lip Liner 08 (dark brown with a slight shimmer) Limited Edition. 🖍Creamy Colour Comfort Lip Liners in 320 Chestnut and 315 Intense Mauve (these are very matte). 🖍3D Hydra Lipgloss in 21 Brun Rose and 19 Cream Cashmere. Along the bottom: 🖍Magnetic Loose Powder Eyeshadow 02 (bronze, very sparkly). . Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. 🤗 #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

As a teen, The Body Shop was one of the first places I went to for skincare and now, years later, it's still my go-to for so many products. @thebodyshop face masks are some of my favourites. For reference, I have oily, blemish-prone skin. Face Masks pictured: . 💙 Himayalan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask I love charcoal masks and this is no exception. I wouldn't recommend it to those with dry or sensitive skin as it's quite intense. There's a tingling feeling upon application but it goes away as the mask dries. It leaves my skin feeling clean, tight (in a good way) and smooth. This is my second pot. . 💗 British Rose Fresh Plumping Mask My collection is full of purifying masks so I bought this when my skin was in need of a moisture boost. This mask is suitable for all skin types and leaves the skin plump and glowing. I don't normally like rose-scented products but this smells pleasant and not too strong. I use this when I feel like having a pamper session. . 💚 Japanese Matcha Tea Pollution Clearing Mask This was sent to me by @thebodyshop and I'm glad it was or I wouldn't have gotten to try it. This is an excellent alternative to the Himalayan Charcoal Mask if you have dry skin. It leaves my skin feeling just as clean and radiant. I would definitely recommend this to those commuting daily to use in the evenings after work. . 🖤 Chinese Ginseng & Rice Polishing Mask This is another one I wouldn't have thought to try, so thanks again to @desi8utterflyz for bringing it to my attention. I've been using this two to three times a week since I got it. If I have breakouts, I multi-mask with the Himalayan Charcoal. I love the scent and I feel like my skin does look brighter after each use. Have you tried any of these? Which is your favourite? @fhussain1979 Do you like my background? 😜 #TheBodyShop #facemasks #winterskincare #facemasks #skincarecommunity #skincareroutine #skincare #oilyskin #combinationskin #acneproneskin #clearskin #skincareblogger #skincareproducts #makeupblogger #bbloggers #slaytheflatlay #skincareflatlay #makeupartistlondon #skincarereview #mualondon #londonmua #londonmakeupartist #discoverunder5k #blogcreatifa
