A few of my favourite things currently. Some old some new but all in heavy rotation weekly.

Urban Decay Naked 2 has made a massive comeback for me and I use it every day. It has everything I need. There is the shimmery shades for an evening smokey eye, a good light and brown-grey matte for daily use. Loving this all over again and can't fault the quality of the shadows.

I am late to the party with my brand new Becca x Jacklyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop. This creamy powder highlighter is so gorgeous I would like to smother myself in it. I dont for obvious reasons but I do use it generously. On cheekbones, brow bone, lips, collar bones you name it. The gold peachy undertones are super flattering and it never comes off glittery. Total and utter love for this!

Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor in Devotion was the most random purchase. While in Paris few weeks ago my hotel room wasn't ready on arrival so I went to snoop around in the neighbourhood. Stepped into a store with makeup on the window and discover a 40% sale on Revlon lip products. Held myself together and didn't buy more than one as I figured Im gonna hit pharmacies hard (as I did). What a lucky random purchase that was cause I very much like this shade and formula. Its not drying, very light weight and velvety on the lips. Actually describing this as matte is a bit misleading as they aren't totally matte so lets call it semi-matte in order to be precise. Cause when describing lip products accuracy is important right? Need to have a little look in Dubai for more shades cause this formula really is great.

Essie Urban Jungle nail polish has been in my collection for ages. I have recently emerged from a "all I want it red" stage and now this grey-beige-cream-white shade is one I reach for a lot.

I left the total obsession item for last- my very first Byredo perfume! Perfume descriptions are infamously difficult to do if you ask me so let me try to explain the best I can. It is like the juiciest, freshest ripest scent you can imagine. But not in a sweet sickly way even thou there is apple and peach in it cause the bergamot top notes balance it out perfectly. It is amazing for hot weather and lingers on me for hours. It still has that woody scent you want in an expensive perfume. I initially got a sample of this with a purchase but instantly fell in love and didn't hesitate to pay the price for a full bottle. I am obsessed I tell you!

I'm done with rambling how much I love everything now. Have you tried any of these and love them as much as I do?
