FOTD: Let It Glow

Another Frozen reference, I know. Sorry for not being sorry; it just fit so well. For someone who was always scared she looked really shiny and believed a face full of powder was the best way to hide everything and keep things hidden all day, over the last year I've defintiely gravitated toward a glowly look.

To get the base off to the right start I began with the Bourjois Happy Light primer to get my skin all ready for my base which here is the Bourjois CC Cream as I wanted to give it a test, but to be honest, though it's more expensive I much prefer the Dior BB Cream, it lasts better throughout the day and adds an extra glow.

Before powdering with my Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder, which is the peferfect powder to set make-up but leave you with a glow, I worked in my Jemma Kid Dewy Glow All Over Radiance Cream which is sadly discountined but I say pick up Topshops Glow Cream Highlighter for the same effect. Once that is worked in with the base I like to apply my cream blush, which just so happened to be my Nars Multiple in Portofino.

Eyes and lips I kept quite simple. Eyes was a MAC staple Naked Lunch which deposits a slight colour with a nice shimmer to boot and lips was a your lips but nicer/better colour from No7 BB Lips in Coral Rush.

What are your glowy skin staples?

Throwback Thursday: Jemma Kidd All Over Radiance Cream in Iced Gold

I am fully aware that I start most posts with the whole, loved this product then forgot about it blah blah blah, but I actually never forgot about this product, I just stopped using it as I loved it so much and it became discontinued. Sad times!

Ah, just look at that creamy dewy perfection. It really is the most perfect cream highlighter, and I still use it sparingly. The creamy consistency blends it to the skin and gives the perfect healthy glow that doesn't look over done and just makes you look so 'lit from within.'

Colour wise Iced Gold is a gorgeous champagne colour, that on my skin tone blends in seamlessly. 

For me it is the perfect product to reach for when you are going for that whole 'I'm not wearing make-up, make-up look.'

What do you think of this product? Do you have it?

Review: Jemma Kidd All Over Radiance Cream - Iced Gold

A while ago I was just browsing the Feel Unique site, when I saw that a load of Jemma Kidd items were on offer. This, to me seemed like the prefect opportunity to snap up the All Over Radiance Cream in Iced Gold, as it has been on my Covet list for a very long time. I have since found out that the reason it was on offer is because sadly, Jemma Kidd has gone bust.

The packaging of this product is something I like, plain, sleek and simple. Although I can see it getting slightly messy towards the end of use.

This shade is pretty much what it says on the packaging  Iced Gold. A lovely frosted, chamapagney gold colour that blends perfectly with the skin for a bit of brightness and dewy glow.

I find this highlighter blends so easily into the skin, giving a barely there look, yet when the light catches it, illuminates the face to make it look healthy and glowing, what more does a girl want?

I am so pleased I got this product, I really do love it, and I find it perfect for those 'no make-up' days, or for just a really simplistic look.

What do you think of this product? Do you like it?
