Spent the weekend in my favourite place in the world…. London. I know it like the back of my hand and when the sun is shining there’s no place I rather be.
The Southbank at the Weekend!
It’s only a train ride away from home, if I had more energy then I would be going up to London every week.
Ever since I was a little girl, every time we went to London I was always fascinated by the luxury department stores. The way they display all the brands, the way the staff walk round and the way the tills never stop ringing!
I have the websites saved to my homepage on my Mac, I can visualise the floor plans.
So yes, I’m obsessed.
This weekend I went to Selfridges. Walking through the doors on to the ground floor, where I know that’s home to the beauty department- it makes me so happy!
Before I could start eyeing up my new products, I need a sit down and drink.
We managed to get a table at the ever so busy roof top restaurant Alto by San Carlo which is just divine and the food is exceptional.

Next thing I know is I’m in my very own candy store, to me it’s like heaven. The smells of the perfumes and the hustle and bustle of people.
I knew what I wanted and went straight towards the stand.
As soon as I had the bright yellow bag in my hands, I instantly had a big grin on my face like the cheshire cat!Is there anywhere that makes you feel like a kid in a candy shop?!?!let me know!Have a great week!Love,Grace. XOXO
I recently went to my local Primark, saw the make-up stand and instantly had the urge to purchase. I have never tried using there make-up before, so I was eagerly excited to try it out.
What I brought from Primark.
The first thing that caught my eye was the packaging, I thought this looks very familiar, then it came to me, the contour and hight kit looks a lot like Kim Kardashian’s make-up brand packaging. Also the lip kits look just like Kylie Jenner’s Lip Kits, but of course being Primark, the price is extremely different, which I’m not going to complain about! The Contour and Highlight kit was £8 and the lip kit was £3!
I adore the make-up I already have, I couldn’t wait to add it to my collection and try it out!
So this is step by step what I did, used whilst incorporating the primark make-up:
Step one– sheet face mask.(This one I had in the cupboard for a while, from TKMAX!)
Step seven –use Gosh 002 again all over face Step eight- use primark higlter stick under eyes in a triangle shape towards the nose and sweep the stick on your temple on forehead, use the sponge end of brush the kit came with to blend Step eight-use fenty beauty foundation in shade 150 and blend into the rest of face, use extra foundation to cover any blemishes by dabbing Step nine- use primark nude kit contour stick, swipe above jaw line, use the sponge to blend then brush over with the other end of brush Step ten-add blush to apples of cheeks, I use benefit cheek parade pallet, rockateur , using same pallet hoola lite on jaw line Step eleven-using the primark fan highlighter brush, sweep huda beauty 3d pallet Seychelles across cheek to temple, using same brush blend Tahiti under cheek.
Step eleven
Step twelve- use primark nude lip kit in mesmerise, line lips using lipliner in kit and contour lips then apply the gloss, in center of lips sweep kylie Jenner gloss that use on eyes and blend.
This is the finished look
Conclusion:
I loved the brow highlighter, the contour stick and the brush! but not sure about the highlighter stick, not sure if it was strong enough, that’s why I had to add my Huda Beauty highlighter. The prime spray is defiantly something that i’m going to continue to use, it was none greasy and oily on my skin, I most of all it was light, I find most primers quite heavy, thick and for £2 you just cannot go wrong!
I hope to do a blog on this post very soon, if you have any tips on using any of these products I would love to hear them!
I hope you have enjoyed this post, I absolutely love trying new products and looks!
