(Currently running an IG only ad with Shark, but I wanted to ensure my blog readers got in on the discount action too!) I just wanted to give you a very quick heads-up that…

💜Can you believe how pretty the right shade of purple can look on the lips? 💜

This beauty is, of course, Prada Wisteria Balm, from the Wisteria collection that I deeply coveted right up until I realised it had all sold out and I had lost my chance to own the blushers FOREVER.
But fear not, as the balm is probably/arguably the best product in the collection, so at least I have that. As you can see, it gives just slightly more than a whisper of lilac, leaving lips looking gently cooled, making it an ideal shade for those of us who lean a bit more ashy in tone.
As a lover of all things purple, I adore this 💜💜
I’ve linked to Lookfantastic in my bio where it’s currently 20% off.

The new Armani Dolcis are so cute! Multi-use, cream-to-powder formula in a dinky little twist-up top 💜

I was kindly given the chance to pick a shade to try, and being a mauve-lover, I went with the shade Mauve Blush. The word “mauve” is definitely having a bit of a moment right now as I’m seeing it pop up everywhere, but I’m not sure all the brands are getting it right as in my mind, mauve should have at least a suggestion of something a little bit purple going on.
As you can see here, the Dulci Mauve Blush shade is much more of a toned-down, muted brown with the tiniest hint of neutral pink. Not really much purple happening here, but I am aware that my stark complexion can change the colour of things, so it might look more mauve on others.
Shade grievances aside, these are fabulous formulas that sit well on both lips and cheeks (that in itself is very rare - I always find one considerably outperforms the other in lip and cheek products) providing a matte but creamy feel that blends out like a dream. I might have to treat myself to one of the other shades; I’m currently eyeing Rose Blush which looks very pretty.

✨️I think the Vieve Skin Nova Concealer might be my favourite launch of theirs so far ✨️
(Unpaid ad - PR)
When it comes to the under eye area, I always prefer products that are going to enhance and improve rather than just cover. The Vieve Skin Nova Concealer is the most beautiful formula that’s so easy to blend. It can be layered for more coverage, whilst providing a subtle blurring alongside a touch of illumination. Not for my full beat fans, this is all about the “my face, but better” look.
For this super quick look I used:
✨️Vieve Skin Nova Complexion Balm in shade 100
✨️Vieve Modern Radiance Concealer in shade Light 1 Neutral
✨️Vieve Skin Nova Concealer in shade 100
✨️Vieve 302 Double Ended Build & Blend Brush
✨️Vieve Nova Glow Liquid Light in shade Ballerina
Couple of footnotes; Vieve do some of the best brushes around - they are so well made. Don’t overlook their Nova Glow highlighters; they look extremely shiny in the tube, but they blend out to the most natural, dreamy finish that gives a touch of light and colour.
Find all the above products, alongside some of my Vieve favourites, via the direct link in my bio✨️✨️

...the Shark Glam Multi-Styler 🙌🏻
I am *so* bad at doing my hair, but the many attachments and settings on this incredible device have made it all so much easier; my hair looks and feels like I’ve had it professionally blow-dried and the style really lasts too!
I’ve gone into much greater detail on my blog regarding each attachment and how you use them, so have a read if you fancy knowing more. In this video I focused solely on my favourite attachment - the Glossi Styler - that can be used in both the wet and dry settings to smooth hair and add amazing volume. I love it so much, especially as it’s so quick an easy to use.
The Shark Glam and a few other Shark hair icons are on discount right now, so I’ve included a direct link in my bio if you fancy treating yourself ✨️

💜Time for a much needed blast of purple💜
(Unpaid ad - PR)
I could not wait for the Prada Wisteria collection to land (those blushers will be mine...if I can track them down!) and this beautiful tinted balm is everything I hoped it would be: perfectly cool-toned with that rich, syrupy finish of a tinted balm, leaving just a hint of lilac on the lips, plus it comes in the prettiest little lipstick carrier, which, quite honestly, I think all lipsticks should arrive in from now on.
I’ll share a full try-on soon, plus a little preview in my stories even sooner 💜💜
