Barry M Makeup range!

 

Hi guys! Recently I won a very generous prize pack of Barry M makeup, and since it covers a fair few products from their new Fresh Face range I thought I'd post about it here! This was a Giveaway being run on Instagram, and there were six winners. I don't enter that many competitions anymore, so I consider myself very lucky. I can't believe how much there is in this prize pack! Let's have a look...

2 x Fresh Face Matte Setting Sprays
'Keep your makeup in place for longer with the Fresh Face Matte Setting Spray'.
This contains Niacinamide and Sugar Kelp. Setting sprays are not usually part of my makeup routine but I'll be giving this a go. If nothing else it will be refreshing to spritz this mist on my face.

3 x Fresh Face Colour Correcting Primers
'Prep and perfect with Fresh Face Colour Correcting Primer'.
I received these in the colours Purple, Green and Peach.
The Purple one is formulated with Snow Mushroom and Vitamin C to rebalance skin tone, hydrate, brighten and conceal yellow tones, providing a colour neutralised base when used under makeup.
The Green one is formulated with anti-redness ingredients, oat extract and Vitamin C to rebalance skin tone. Again, the goal is create a colour neutralised base on which to apply foundation.
The Peach one is formulated with caffeine, oat extract and Vitamin C to rebalance skin tone, reduce the appearance of dark circles and help soothe irritated skin. I'm looking forward to trying these!

2 x That's Swell XXL Fruity Extreme Lip Plumpers
I got these in Pineapple (the yellow one) and Plum (the purple one). I'm so excited to try these! Lip Plumpers are something I use on the reg and have tried from quite a few different brands. These appear to be coloured glosses and I'm hoping the shades look OK on the lips. We shall see!

3 x Fresh Face Luminisers
'Create a spotlight glow with Fresh Face Luminiser'.
I received these luminisers in the shades Bronze, Rose and Gold. They are designed to give a radiant glow; the formula is packed with skin-loving Aronia Berry and Hyaluronic Acid to brighten and hydrate skin. You can apply these directly to the high points of the face or mix with foundation. I'm excited to experiment with these!

3 x Baked Marble Blushers
'Create a flattering glow with the Barry M Heatwave Baked Marble Blusher. The soft powder formula is marbled with light reflecting swirls for a radiant flush of colour and subtle shimmer.'
I received the shades Sunray, Coastal and Paradise. These look so pretty! They remind me of higher end makeup, but at a fraction of the cost. I think I'm most excited to try these!

Thanks so much Barry M for the amazing prize! You can follow them on Instagram here and you can follow me here!

Weekend Walks

 

Hi guys! Another picture post this week, because I ran out of time and I'm still pretty unmotivated to blog, to be honest. I hope I get my mojo back! I've got an Empties post to write but it won't be for a while because this week I have two Collab visits and three collab posts to work on, so I'll be way too busy. Thank god it's the school holidays though! I'm looking forward to sleeping in, as getting up at 6:20 every morning takes its toll after a while!

We went for a couple of walks over the weekend. Here are some photos!

Meow Monday!

 

Hi guys! I hope you're all having a wonderful Easter break! Before we get into the aptly titled post 'Meow Monday', a bit of housekeeping that absolutely no one will care about. I've decided to restrict comments as much as I can (I couldn't find the option to totally disable them) because I'm getting swamped with spam link comments and I'm sick of it. I don't use this blog for work/collabs anymore, it's really just because I enjoy blogging as a hobby, so I don't care about getting comments and don't need to even consider my stats or engagement. So please don't feel obliged to comment as I truly don't GAF.

On to my cats! If you follow me on Instagram, you'll be familiar with my feline family, namely Nutmeg (the naughty one) and Pumpkin (the shy, marmalade-coloured one). I post them on my IG Stories on @imhungrymax from time to time and on my beauty grid @shinyglitterbug roughly every four posts (give or take). I thought I'd post a few cat snaps here.

There are a few where Nutmeg is super grumpy and oh boy, does it show on her face! Make sure you check out the final photos, a surprise blast from the past. So cute!

Happy Meow-nday!

Mani Monday: Essie Island Hopping

 

Hi guys! I'm back with a quick Mani post today. I've gone off the glitters for now and have been wearing more neutral shades lately. I chose Island Hopping by Essie for an event I was going to, because I wanted a flattering, classic shade that would go with anything and look good in photos. This shade is a rich plum mauve that 'takes you anywhere you want to go. Villa today, spa tomorrow'. LOL how many of us are going from the villa to the spa I don't know... certainly not me! But anyway, it's a versatile shade, so it served its purpose and I like how it turned out.

Also, my nails are quite long at the moment, and I haven't had a major break in quite a while, so I'm happy with that, too. Fingers crossed I don't jinx myself haha.
