THE DEEP BLUE SEA

Style

Todays post is showcasing a beach photo shoot I did with my good friend Melissa. She needed some images for a uni project and I was more than happy to help out. I've been wanting to share these incredible images with you guys for ages. This by far has been my favourite shoot and I'm absolutely in love with the photos. It was such a lovely day and the beach was the perfect place to shoot. The sky was so clear and the prettiest shade of blue. Looking back on these images makes me wish it was summer already. I honestly can't get over how well the pictures turned out and how much fun I had. 
I hope you enjoy this post and love the images as much as I do.

OH SO SOFT AND GENTLE.

Beauty

Why it has taken me this long to jump on the highlighting hype I don't know, but I have finally joined the club and I'm loving it! I received this gorgeous MAC mineralised skin finish in 'Soft and Gentle' only recently and there has not been a day where it hasn't graced my cheeks. It's so incredibly beautiful!! Soft and Gentle is a shimmering gift from the gods, it's amazing.

The product itself is very light and easy to build to your desired look. It's not overwhelmingly shimmery but contains gold and slightly silver toned glitter particles. This is a brilliant product if your wanting a subtle glow. Soft and Gentle in particular has some lovely warm tones which adds a radiant glow to your cheeks. I like to place this on the top of my cheek bones using the Real Techniques setting brush. Even though it's for setting under your eyes, I love it to apply my highlighter. It's just the perfect size and is really good for blending the product.

If you're on the look out for a new highlighter or are unsure what one to get as there are loads to choose from, I definitely recommend this one. If Soft and Gentle isn't your cup of tea, MAC has a great range in their mineralised skin finished powders, so there is bound to be one for you.
