Who needs makeup when you have a big ole pair of sunnies? . . Even though I’m not a massive makeup wearer (I only wear foundation and mascara) and rarely even wear it on holiday, I still like to carry it around with me in case I find myself wanting to spruce up my face a little. So imagine my despair when halfway to the airport I realised I had forgotten to pack any! 😱 Finding my shade is already such a headache in London, I knew there’d be no point looking for any at the airport or in the shops here. Despite having a mini breakdown earlier this weekend because I wanted to cover my dark spots, I’ve had a pretty chill makeup free holiday with nothing on my face — save for pairs of super stylish oversized sunnies (oh and sunscreen).

This cleanser is one of my faves. I love how it literally clears up my face overnight, leaves my skin feeling deeply clean as a whistle and gently exfoliates without making my skin dry and irritated. . . . . . . . #skincare #facewash #cleanandclear #cleanskincare #blackgirlsslay #naturalbeauty #blackgirlskin #blackgirlskincare #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlbeauty #nomakeup #makeupfree #skincareislife #skincareisessential #selfcare #glassskin #clearskin #cleanskin #skincaretips #skincareroutine #iloveskincare #skincareessentials #diamondsandpebbles (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5xHwLJH6aj/?igshid=10tygfpafj8l8

As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. ⁣ ⁣ Today on the blog I’m talking about the @clarinsuk One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser. ⁣ ⁣ This cleanser lasted me a the last couple of months and in that time I was thoroughly OBSESSED! ⁣ ⁣ I loved how it cleansed my face while gently exfoliating it, without stripping my skin — now that’s why I call a triple threat. ⁣ ⁣ For a detailed review check out the link in my bio ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #clarins #beauty #skincarereview #exfoliate #blackgirlexfoliating #exfoliateyourskin #loveclarins #clarinsparis #beautyblogger #blackgirlbeautyblogger #skincareroutine #blackgirlskincareroutine #blackgirlskincare #skincare #evening #eveningroutine #eveningskincareroutine #bathroom #bathroomroutine #blackgirlbathroom #clarinsskincare #clarinsbeauty #skincareblogger #melaninskincare #skincareblog #blackgirlskin⁣ #diamondsandpebbles #DAPreviews (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2OZ5esHrbe/?igshid=17t18clfgcqfs

My skin has been so dry these past couple of days I decided to practise what I preach and mix up my skincare routine a little. ⁣ ⁣ I’ve been incorporating rose into my night time skincare routine and I must say I’ve noticed such a difference in my skin. ⁣ ⁣ Rose is especially great for dry skin as it’s known to hydrate deep in the layers of skin — which is just what me and my face need!⁣ ⁣ Check out my stories and IGTV for more!⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #skincare #blackgirlskincare #beauty #freshloveuk #blackgirlbeauty #beautyblog #blackgirlbeautyblogger #blackgirls #melanin #melaninpoppin #skincarejunkie #skincareaddict #skincareproducts #skincareessentials #blackgirlskincareroutine #beautyblogger #skincareblog #skincareblogger #instaskincare #instaskin #dryskin #blackgirlmagic #picoftheday ⁣ #melaninjourney #blackinfluencers #blackswhoblog #blackcreatives #melaninblogger #diamondsandpebbles (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1bsfNNHlo2/?igshid=1lr2djpeyc66o

“We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.” — May Sarton⁣ ⁣ It took me so long to accept my natural hair in all its thick, big, independent and luscious glory. But now that I have, there’s no turning back⁣. So this is me daring to be myself, no matter how frightening or strange that may be ✨ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #naturalhair #blackgirls #melanin #melaninpoppin #blackgirlhair #naturalhair #naturalhairblog #afrohair #afrohairblog #kinkyhair #bighairdontcare #bighair #naturalhairstyles #naturalhairrocks #naturalhaircare #teamnatural #naturalista #naturalhairdaily #hairjourney #naturalhaircommunity #blackgirl #blackgirlbeauty #teamnaturalhair #naturalbeauty #makeupfree #natural #blackwomen #naturallycurly #healthyhair #diamondsandpebbles (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0x7pvsHxc1/?igshid=17e19y2lvc3q7

My biggest skin concern is hyperpigmentation and discolouration. So when I’m looking for new products to try it’s important it can tackle at least one of these issues. . 💎 . Having been successfully using the eye cream from the range, I was sure this sleep cream was the answer to all my hyperpigmentation dreams and would leave me with clear brown skin and not a dark spot in sight... but maybe my hopes were juuuuuust a tad too high . 💎 . In my latest blog post I’m sharing my final thoughts on the @nivea_uk Q10 plus C Anti-Wrinkle + Energy Sleep Cream.

When you decide to work on yourself then you get to celebrate yourself . . . . 💎 Winter is coming to an end and I’m so excited to welcome all that spring has to offer. However, as blistering cold as winter was (and it continues to be) I’m happy to say that my skin has not felt the affects at all! Why you ask? Because of clever tweaks to my skincare routine including the addition of the @niveauk Pure & Natural Night Cream to my night time routine. . . . . 💎 This time last year I was battling with extremely dry skin, but thanks to this thick luxurious and luscious night cream, my face stayed moisturised, nourished and well hydrated. . . . . 💎 Today on the blog I’m sharing my final thoughts on this night cream.
