I start work at 8am and I like my sleep, so as you can imagine mornings are pretty hectic in my house. Especially right now, we are moving home soon and are in the midst of packing so everything is crammed into boxes that are randomly placed around the house. By the time…
My legs are pale, my nails are chipped and my poor feet haven’t seen the outside of my Converse in what feels like years. When Chemist.co.uk* got in touch to ask if I’d like to get ‘summer ready’ with them I jumped at the chance. Chemist.co.uk offer everything from cold remedies (unfortunately still a…
I have five beauty products sitting on my dressing table that I really don’t want to part with but, alas, the time has come. I’d recommend every single one, particularly the skincare products, as I’ve enjoyed using them immensely and, if money were no object, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy them…
I read a ridiculous amount of beauty blogs each week and watch makeup tutorials from my favourite YouTubers such Tati, Kathleen Lights and Sophie Louise almost daily. It’s not hard to believe that my beauty ‘wish list’ can grow at an alarming rate. There are so many products I’ve read…
As a beauty blogger, I obviously put a lot of products through their paces. There are some products, however, that I can be testing for months but still have no idea how I feel about them. It’s so frustrating to sit firmly on the fence. Here are three products that I…
Does anyone else have one of those mornings when they are applying their makeup in one of those unforgiving magnifying glass style mirrors and think, “I look like I’ve aged about ten years overnight!?!” For some reason, I really feel that my skin is prematurely ageing. I don’t smoke, I look…
When it comes to beauty boxes, I tend to stick to ‘build your own’ services or limited edition collections, that way you can be certain they’ll be no repetition or disappointment. Latest in Beauty’s range of curated beauty boxes (here) contain makeup and skincare products from huge brands such as Burt’s Bees,…
As much as love high-end makeup, you just can’t beat a bargain. I relied on quite a few drugstore concealers when I ran out of my beloved Tarte Shape Tape including this one from L.A. Girl. The PRO.conceal HD High Definition Concealer retails for £5 on Beauty Bay but you can also snap…
I haven’t had the chance to put a lot of new makeup and skincare products to the test this month but I have rediscovered a few old favourites. The Body Shop Fresh Nude Foundation (£16) for example is one of my most used foundations and is seriously underrated. It’s also…
There are a handful of beauty products that I reach for daily that I originally had low expectations of. These include eyeshadow palettes I thought I’d never use, products that nobody talks about or products with price tags so tiny, I never thought they’d be able to compete with my favourite high-end brands. Here’s a rundown of…
As you can imagine, I read a lot of beauty blogs in 2017 and I’ve collected a long list of brands and products I’d love to try but still haven’t got around to, or can’t afford (Natasha Denona & Pat Mcgrath I’m looking at you – a girl can dream,…
It’s pretty obvious that buying makeup is an obsession of mine. I often I find myself buying makeup because of the hype, packaging or even out of my devotion to the brand, rather than whether or not I actually need it. I have a file on my homepage that contains my favourite beauty…
Reading disappointing reviews is one of my guilty pleasures, although if they include one of my favourite products I can’t help but get a little hot under the collar. We all have different skin types, preferences and skill levels when it comes to applying makeup so I apologise if I’m about to mention…
Happy new year you lovely lot! I hope Santa spoiled you rotten and you brought in the bells surrounded by loved ones, laughter and/or something bubbly. I’ve been lucky enough to be sent a lot of gorgeous makeup and skincare products this year and I’ve also worked my butt off in…
Apparently, as I scroll through my Twitter feed, ‘What I Got For Christmas’ type posts are a little controversial. Many think that ‘bragging’ about your Christmas haul is in poor taste and slightly spoilt. My opinion on the matter is; if you don’t like them… don’t read them. It’s that simple.…
