June Beauty Favourites

Its a cliche statement I know but I can't understand where the month of June went, it seemed like yesterday I was writing my May favourites! June was such a busy month and honestly my favourite of 2014 so far, (maybe turning 20 wasn't as bad as I thought it would be) it was filled with lovely weather which is completely rare and wonderful memories. I even attempted daily blogging which although I...

Whats In My Makeup Bag?

A couple of weeks ago if you read my whats in my bag post (link here) I promised that I would include a separate post for my summer makeup bag so ta da! This makeup up bag is an absolute nightmare to photograph can I just point out, the mirrored panel in the middle reflects everything :( I do still love it though as its the perfect size for holding my everyday necessities, I picked it up in Primark...

Real Techniques Brushes

We all use makeup brushes on a daily basis but no one really pays any attention to them (well I don't), I mean they're just there and they're used and then put back until they're cleaned. At least thats what I used to think but since I'm on a mission to find the perfect base makeup I keep trying to find different ways to apply my makeup rather than just using my fingers (not the most glamorous I...

Review: L'oreal Elvive Fibrology Range

This is a bit of an unusual post for me, mainly because as bad as this is I never really change up my hair routine although I know I should, theres just so many brands it gets a little overwhelming. However in the summer months my hair needs a little extra tlc and so I decided to change things up a bit and try the L'oreal Elvive Fibrology range which is specifically aimed at thicker hair (and unfortunately...

The Blush Edit:

Since we're well and truly in to the summer season now (well this week anyway, it'll probably be back to rain and clouds by next) I thought I'd show you what blushes are perfect to achieve that fresh, dewy faced glow.  Surprisingly in the summer months I reach for blush rather than bronzer, I think this might have something to do with being so pale and finding a bronzer that isn't orange...

All about midis

One trend that I've really been loving lately is mid rings, in the summer we all reach for brights or pastels on our nails and a lot more attention whether we like it or not is drawn to our hands and this is where midi rings come in. They come in a variety of sizes, colours and styles, can basically be picked up anywhere and of course make your hands look cute as! I just can't get enough of...

Weekly Ramble #5

I refuse to religiously post weekly rambles, my sort of catch up on the week lifestyle posts if I don't do all that much in my eyes - if I'm honest my life ain't that interesting. However this was my birthday week and I made sooo many plans probably too many and the weather was amazing so I was barely indoors and therefore this seemed like the perfect opportunity to fill you all in :)  Officially...

Soap & Glory Skincare?

Soap & Glory bath and body products are well known (ahem hand food) and their makeup range also gets a lot of attention but until recently I wasn't aware that they had a skincare range, this may be a fault on my part or the terrible aisles of my local Boots, either way when I found it I had to try something out. A few weeks back I was having a 'pore' problem shall we say, the pores around my...

Review: Garnier Eye Makeup Remover

I know theres a lot of love for the Garnier Micellar water, I feel the same but love for this little one not so much? In fact when I picked up the micellar water (which was probably months ago) I picked this up as well, I just hadn't gotten round to giving it a go but now I have I thought I'd do a review for you all. Also can I just point out the cute map background (which was actually a birthday...

Acrylic Lipstick Storage

Lately I've been trying to figure out a way to store my ever growing lipstick collection, on many a beauty blogs Muji acrylic drawers are almost always the answer. I'm not too keen on displaying my entire makeup collection so I opt to have my dressing table drawers organised instead, much more appealing but the lipstick stand did however catch my eye whilst scrolling through Amazon and as I had...

Tag: This or That

Since realising the other week that I hadn't posted a tag post before I jumped straight to it and not only posted one tag post but two and its safe to say I'm hooked. One tag that has been floating about Bloglovin' is the 'This or That' tag beauty edition but theres actually a this or that tag with categories fashion, hair and random - way more of an all rounder and I decided to do that one instead,...

Whats In My Bag?

The Whats In My Bag tag is usually one of my favourites, I love having a nosey and seeing what other people carry around as I know I bring everything but the kitchen sink even if I'm just popping down to Tesco - bad habit I know. I also couldn't believe that I hadn't gotten round to actually doing this tag myself so I thought it might be nice to do a summer edition since the rain seems to be holding...

Birthday Wishlist

Its crazy to believe that this time next week I'll no longer be a teenager and although I can't exactly change my birthday I keep wishing it was later on in the year, or next year or the year after! I'm definitely going to miss being a teenager and although everyone I know (who're turning 21) say that it feels no different, its still another year older and another year where I definitely don't look...

Perfect Nudes

The other day I surprisingly made the discovery that I have no nude shades in my lipstick stash, now I know bolds and brights win over nude lips but I never thought I'd disowned them completely. With this in mind I practically ran towards my nearest Boots and low and behold the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks were having a bit of an offer so I selected my two favourite shades and suddenly felt a lot better...

Lilac Loving

So the internet decided it would be a great time to play up, right smack back in the middle of my challenge but that just means double updates for today and tomorrow. All of my posts were ready to go and it was so frustrating because I just couldn't press publish #bloggingnightmare. Therefore this is the first post of a few, lilac must be my colour for spring it seems, I just can't enough of it and...

Mac Bits & Pieces

I'm quite proud of myself, the post I'd planned to go up today wasn't quite ready and instead of worrying about it, I simply tidied up this post which had been sitting in my drafts for a while. This is simply a few bits and pieces I've recently picked up from M.A.C, now I know the lipsticks and eyeshadows are MAC's most coveted products but their blushes get a fair share of love from everyone too,...

Review: Brow Drama

Now I know this product was released ages ago, sometime near the end of last year I'm pretty sure but I try not to give into the hype around most things and thats why the Maybelline Brow Drama only ended up in my shopping basket a couple of months ago. Its only lately that I've found myself reaching for it but I just don't know what to make of it. This brow product being budget friendly and...

Face Masks: Top 3!

Face masks are quickly becoming my skincare favourites! The thought of settling down and having a cosy night in watching movies, eating far too much chocolate and just generally relaxing with a face mask on is perfect. Lately I've been reaching for these three as a quick pick me up and pamper session as I know they work for me and I really want to pick up a couple more, so feel free to let me know...

Gigs and Things

If its possible I think I'm still on a post concert high from last night.... I went and seen McBusted in concert for their penultimate show and my oh my it was bloody fantastic. I felt like I was 10 all over again, reliving the Busted tunes and well I've just always loved Mcfly so it was a win win for me and the perfect way to kick off a new month!  before the night began, sort of a...

Daily Blogging, Day 1

I'm so glad that May is finally over, exams and stressing definitely got the best of me and blogging for the past month has been a bit of a let down (for me anyways)... just when I was getting in to the swing of things too! Therefore to make it up to my lovely followers and as a sort of challenge to myself to see if I can do it, I've decided to blog daily for the month of June which is a masssssive...
