mBotanicals Hydrating Beauty Balm Review

May 29, 2017 by Kumbear Xo

Before I went on a 4-month Roaccutane treatment for my acne, my skin was extremely oily but ever since I finished my prescription I have actually realised my skin has completely changed. It has actually been so dry since I stopped using Roaccutane. I feel like I'm starting from the beginning and I'm 15 all over again. No more products to…

Starting With The Basics | Blank Canvas Cosmetics Review

May 1, 2017 by Kumbear Xo

Have you heard of Blank Canvas? They are an online beauty brand from Ireland that I've recently discovered and I am so glad that I did. They sell luxury makeup at high street prices and they also have relatively cheap shipping which is always a bonus.  Let's just stop and admire about how beautiful their rose gold brush set is (which…

Skinade collagen drinks 30 day trial review

April 11, 2017 by Kumbear Xo

Skinade comes in super handy, portable, leak-proof 150ml bottles and you can also get the 15ml sachets that you can mix in with water later which is ideal for travelling. The packaging is very simple which I thought looked nice but a lot of my friends thought I was drinking from a shampoo bottle which was a bit weird I…

How I Got Rid of My Acne | Roaccutane Review

February 26, 2017 by Kumbear Xo

Throughout my entire adolescence and even into my adult years I suffered from hormonal acne - by acne, I mean volcanic cysts that felt like bruises and bubbling whiteheads across my entire face. It was horrible. Sleep was one factor that was an issue and saw that my acne would get worse through this. So I was recommended to look…

My Fiancé (tries to) Describe My Makeup

January 20, 2017 by Kumbear Xo

I saw this tag on the wonderful Ashlexyz blog and found it hilarious so I decided to do it with Chris - my fiancé who is absolutely clueless when it comes to makeup. This was so much fun, I love watching men squirm. I actually found this highly amusing, I need to do posts like this more. Warning - may contain…

The Best Way To Tame Frizz

October 8, 2016 by Kumbear Xo

This summer I've had so many issues with controlling my hair - the frizz is beyond me! I think the sun, sea and humidity have all taken their toll. I tried dying my hair dark to avoid bleaching it but the blonde is still seeping through so I am thinking about perhaps using henna to dye it dark. More about that later!…

  • What the world really needs is more LOVE and less [___________] Fill the blank 🤔❤️
  • Why are we all so fearful of the unknown? 👀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am 25 years old - many people have commented as if at this age I’m supposed to have my shit together. For the longest time it made me anxious as hell not having a clear path. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Boyfriend, mortgage, good steady career... what I’ve been told a “real job” where I’ll always be climbing the ladder and chasing the next ‘title’, then of course preparing to have children and “settling down.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Settling” down. Thee worst term ever. Why the hell would I ever want to just settle?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I almost did it too!! Settled because that’s what society told me was the right thing to do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank god I didn’t 🙏🏽 I am thankful for the series of unfortunate events that literally shook my world upside down because it has brought me here. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now I’ve realise that the route leading to an unknown destination is exactly where I want to be 🙏🏽 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t know where I’m heading in the next week, never mind the next year. I’m just living life in the HERE AND NOW. But that opens my path to INFINITE possibilities which many don’t have access to when they form one direction for their life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just want to say to anyone who’s feeling a little lost and as if you should have everything figured out.. It’s OK to not know what direction you’re going in and you don’t need to feel attached to the trivial social norms. It’s all bullshit 🤣 YOU DO YOU. Follow your bliss and you will end up where you’re meant to be. 💚
  • Make light of life 🌟💜😆
  • Grow through what you go through 💔 
Thank god I look nothing like I’ve been through... I will continue to be positive and keep smiling even when all odds are stacked up against me 😀🙏🏽💯
  • [AD] You guys know how much I love my micellar water… well guess what?! 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Garnier has just launched their new Micellar water with a new milky formula 🙌💥 made for people whose skin is sensitive and prone to dryness (i.e ME). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The main difference between the new formula and the old is that the active ingredient is panthenol which is known for its hydrating, anti-inflammatory, healing and regenerative properties. But still with the cleaning power and make-up removal of original Micellar Water. What more could you want in a makeup remover? 💁🏽

  • How can you push yourself out of your comfort zone today? 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am constantly striving to be better in all elements of my life. I love the concept of constantly evolving because as humans thats what we are naturally inclined to do. Evolve. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyone who knows me and how my mind works - I usually have 100 different thoughts / ideas / scenarios pacing about my head at all times which most find super overwhelming because ask me what I’m thinking and I can legit talk 100 mph and not stop... but if I didn’t overcome my fear of taking action on the ideas that I have floating around my mind - I wouldn’t be where I am now and if I listened to those that told me I couldn’t do it I would 100% not be where I am now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So many people told me “Kumba, just get a real job” and I refused to take the easy route even when I was earning no income and I had a mortgage in Scotland, a flat in London, a car and bills upon bills to pay ... I believed in myself and I knew that I would take action to be where I needed to be even when it scared the sh*t outta me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what do you think would happen if you took action on those ideas floating around your head? Well think about this... without overcoming that fear, how can you ever expect to grow? 💚
  • Remove the kinks from your mind, not your hair 💚 thank you @wipbee for the beautiful illustration 🙏🏽
