NEW IN ✨ @thebodyshop sent me the three latest additions to their skincare range: a CBD and hemp oil-infused cleansing mask, moisturiser and oil combo aimed to soothe stressed skin. I haven't dipped into the Replenishing Moisture Cream or Restoring Facial Oil yet but OOOH GUYS 🗣️ the Soothing Oil-Balm Cleansing Mask 👏 is 👏 a 👏 winner 👏
.
After wearing my mask for a few hours, I feel fuuucking grimey so I have to wash my face. I slap on some of that THICC juicy cleanser (love that it comes in a tube, too!), enjoy the soft, delicately floral fragrance, let it sit for a few minutes, wipe away with a wet spongey-sponge and BOOM, fresh face. 11/10 would recommend.
.
Blog post on all three of these is coming soon!

Urban Decay has gifted me a bunch of makeup stuff

Urban Decay has gifted me a bunch of makeup stuff lately so I feel incentivised to actually wear makeup even if no one but me, my boyfriend and my cat are going to see it. Before I try out the Naked Ultraviolet palette I REALLY need to fix my brows though, they are OUT. OF. CONTROL.
.
I'll definitely be sharing my thoughts (+ looks if I end up doing a proper job cause y'all know me, my hooded lids and eyeshadow can be a finnicky friendship in which my hooded lid are basically completely uninvested in putting in the work) so you might want to keep an eye on my blog www.prettysharp.be
.
Yah like, a blog, lol what is this, 2015?
.
Frankly I wish it was cause I'll be 30 in less than two weeks and HELL TO THE NO I DON'T WANT THAT FOR ME.

#REVIEW ✨ Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer

👉 Swipe for a before & after and a close-up!

Remember when we used to wear... #Makeup? I've tested the Dior Forever Skin Correct #Concealer a few times now (you know, in the past 9 months or so that I've had it 🤦) and I guess it's just a smidge too dry for me.
.
On a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the Urban Decay's All Nighter concealer (that is some heavy duty stuff, but it works magic applied sparingly on the darkest depths of my circles), I'd say this rates a 5 in terms of dryness. Which is honestly one of the better fuller-coverage formulas I've tried so far. Countering it with a dab of oil makes the finish less crepe-y but it does break down my mascara which is TRULY A HOOT.
.
I'm wearing the shade 1N btw.

Emerging from the depths of lockdown induced despair, it's ya girl, ready as ever to talk about #makeup 👁️👄👁️
.
Wanna know how many times I've actually *worn* makeup in the last 5 months though? Not more than 5 times, I'm sure. ⁠
.⁠
Yet I've been shopping like I'm wearing a full face every day, which is lolz cause we can't even exit the house without a face mask on right now. (Heya 📍 Antwerp how're we all doin!!!!!) ⁠
.⁠
Take this @nudestix blush stick for example. It's like halfway down to its expiry date and I've used it... 🥁 🥁 🥁 ... twice so far. I do really enjoy the colour, Naughty n' Spice, and the soft matte formula looks SO good on cheeks AND eyes, but I'm not sure if it lasts very long on my face. I'm gonna need some more makeup days to see how my skin vibes with it, so I'll see you again in about a year from now. ⁠

💅 Nail polish is H&M in Sedona (probably discontinued)
