A wedding themed FOTN

Hola guys :) Tonight I'm back to share the make-up look I went for last Saturday for my sort-of-cousin Lucy's wedding reception. You'll have to forgive my slightly vacant look in the decent quality photos... it appears neither of my parents are capable of taking photos when they say they are. 



I opted for Mac's 'Girl About Town' on my lips - a gorgeous vibrant pink that, due to its Amplified formula, sticks around for hours and is totally meal-proof. 

My eyebrows were a combination of Mac's 'Omega' eyeshadow and & Other Stories' 'Worcester Taupe' eyebrow pencil. I fixed them in place with Gosh's eyebrow gel which I don't find does a great deal, but in heat like we've been experiencing here in the UK anything like that is sure to help a little.

My mascara was Benefit's 'They're Real', which I know receives mixed reviews (it's either amazing or terrible) but is by far and away the best mascara I've tried. 



I was given that photo printed out in A3 by a random middle-aged man during the evening. I'm still baffled.

Other products used (but not worth proper mentions) were YSL's Le Teint Touche Éclait foundation in BD40, Vichy Dermablend in Opal, YSL Touche Éclait in the lightest shade, Mac Studio Careblend Pressed in Light, YSL Blush Radiance in 2, Sleek Face Form Bronzer and Highlighter, & Other Stories  Sateen Aubergine eyeshadow quad.

Have you tried any of these products? Are any of them your favourites? Let me know in the comments below :)

Things You All Need: & Other Stories 'Shinjuku Bloom' Body Scrub

During my recent family visit to London, I turned into a bit of a beauty junkie... by which I mean I was acutely aware that I was suddenly surrounded by stores and brands that Yorkshire is still lacking. One of these stores was H&M's 'spin off' store & Other Stories. If you haven't yet heard about it, give it a quick google and I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Because I'm terrible at describing scents and also forgot to take a photo of the actual product, here's a screenshot of the site...


For £7 you get 250ml of rich yet fresh smelling, non-scratchy body scrub that will lather up brilliantly with a bit of water and really does leave your body feeling insanely smooth. It's not too intense feeling and doesn't leave the skin stinging at all. I have to say, I absolutely love the scent of this product and it's perfect for spring and summer - it's fresh smelling without being a citrus kind of scent, but also sweet smelling in a way that isn't sickly or too reminiscent of autumnal/winter scents. Basically, I have completely fallen in love with this product. 



If you find yourself near & Other Stories or are making an online order, I highly recommend you give this a try. There are six other scents (Lemon Daydream, Rose Revival, Couture Carnival, Punk Bouquet, Fig Fiction and Moroccan Tea) so if Shinjuku Bloom doesn't sound like your kind of scent, head over to their website (stories.com) and read up on the other scents. 

Have you tried any & Other Stories products? Do you think you will? Let me know in the comments below!

Lastly, I have a new email address specifically for this blog and my YouTube channel. So, if any of you have any questions or comments and fancy sending me an email, I'd love to hear from you at rachel.soshedances@gmail.com :)
