Ellie | My Everyday Makeup



Today I wanted to do a little post sharing with you the makeup I am currently using on a daily bases. In the mornings I don't want to faff about with my makeup- I can't be the only one, am I right ladies? so I try to keep my everyday routine simple and minimal. And as the sunny weather starts rolling in (fingers crossed), I think you can get away with wearing a lighter amount of makeup and neutral shades, but still adding a bit of colour with a bright blush. And I feel as though my face looks a bit fresher - which I love! 

These are the products I’m currently using!

- Prep & Base-
Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser
No7 Skin Illuminator
Rimmel London Match Perfection - Light Porcelain 
Rimmel London Wake Me up Concealer
bareMinerals READY SPF 20 Foundation - R170

- Eyes & Eyebrows -

Hair Care | Monthly Favorites



  We thought we'd share our most loved hair products of this month. We are quite picky about what we use on our hair, so some of the products we have been using for many years but lately we have branch out and have tried a few new products which we are excited to tell you about. So if you’re looking for some new products or just nosing around, here are our recommendations!

Moroccan Oil

We're sure this needs no introduction since it's one of the utmost hyped hair products of all time, but here we go anyway, Moroccan light oil (we can just hear you cheer with us). We have been using this for about five months now and it is by far one of the best hair treatments out there. Although the price tag is a little hefty - but don't let that put you off as we have hardly made a dent in it and we have been using it like mad! We just had to see what all the excitement was about, and we're so glad we did. We have been using Moroccan oil religiously lately and our hair has defiantly benefited from the nourishment.

Another Moroccan Oil product has weaselled its way into our hair routine this month; The Moroccan Oil Luminous Hairspray. This is a long-lasting, strong and workable hairspray with a flexible hold. It leaves your hair shiny, frizz-free and silky smooth. It is fine and can be brushed out easily. It doesn't leave your hair sticky, greasy or gritty. We found that although the bottle was large and held a lot of product it didn't last that long with only just under two months use in it (and we only used it every other day) this was a bit of a pain as it comes with yet another heavy price tag. 

Garnier Ultimate Blend 

We recently took a trip down to boots and we came across the new Garnier Ultimate Blend sleek restorer shampoo and conditioner. We weren't expecting much as many shampoos and conditioner claim to be 'frizz free' and don't actually do what they claim, but this product works miracles. It smells incredible and makes your hair feel weightless, instantly giving a silk, smooth feel, unlike some shampoos that make your hair feel very heavy. We can't say it left our hair completely 'fizz free' but we were very happy with the results.


The Toni and Guy sea salt texturising spray is one of our new purchases. Its smell is fresh and we don't find it too drying like other sea salt sprays. It is great for styling the "beach hair" look and gives a bit of Oomph to your hair on a lazy day which is also good for updos. We usually keep it in our bags just in case our straightened hair goes a little wavy during the day.

 One more Toni and Guy products we have been using this month is the Toni and Guy Nourish Reconstruction Hair Mask. This works wonders on damaged hair leaving it silky soft and shiny.

 What are your favourites of the month?
We'd love to hear your thoughts and any ideas for future posts 
Happy Easter
