August Roundup!

It's crazy to think that August is almost over and Autumns practically here! Autumns one of my favourite times if year so I'm happy about it but still a little sad that we probably won't see the sun again until next Spring... This post is a bit of a new one for me, it's basically a round up of all the posts I've been writing throughout August, I tried to post every two days - Monday, Wednesday...

August Beauty Favourites

Although I'm upset about summer coming to an end & all that, I can't help but be excited for the Autumn months right around the corner, one of my favourite times of year! It seems crazy that another month has flew in again but after posting my non beauty favourites throughout the week (link here) I realised that I hadn't posted my beauty favourites - probably the more important of the two, so...

August Non-Beauty Favourites

The Summer has dissappeared? With it being the end of August and September right around the corner I think its safe to say Autumn is on its way and I'm both happy and sad about it. Although we haven't had too much sun, its been nice to have no routine & simply relax before we all get back to the boring 9 to 5. Anyways less ranting, more favourites. This is my non beauty favourites because nine...

#NOTD

A nails of the day post I haven't done in a while & lately I've been moving out of my comfort zone, since its so gloomy, I mean summery outside, I thought I'd go for a much brighter option than usual but still nude. For years I never even thought about white nail polish because if I'm honest it just reminded me of secondary school whenever everyone painted Tipp Ex on their nails and that trend...

The End of Summer FOTD;

Whilst I've been blogging, I've haven't actually posted many photos of makeup on my face when I'm reviewing or FOTD's as I'm quite forgetful & usually remember once I've taken it all off or else I don't think the way the makeup shows up is right although I'm trying to change this. Since my last fotd post was back in January (link here) I thought it was about time I did another, this is the...

THE LIEBSTER AWARD

If you've been reading my blog for a while you'll know that I did the Liebster Award way back when I had like 100 followers and I was just starting out and it was amazing to be nominated, so I thought I'd take a trip down memory lane and do it all over again. The lovely Steph from Beauty Heart and Tessa from Tessa Rose Chiari  both nominated me recently so I thought I'd give it a go again,...

The Body Shops Camomile Cleansing Butter

About a month ago or so The Body Shop had some offers on that even I couldn't refuse, apart from the odd product of theirs like the Honey Bronzer & a few lip butters I didn't actually own anything from their skincare range - something I needed to check off my to do list. With a £40 basket of products (am I the only one that can't stop filling the blooming basket?) & a code for £20 off I was...

Drugstore Mascara Edit:

Mascara is one of those products that even in the drugstore its still pretty darn expensive, something that annoys me to no end, mascara is one of those everyday necessities for most girls so in most cases it should be cheaper not the opposite! I'm actually a one type of mascara person, I'll buy one, use it until its done and then replace it (usually with a different one), the end but somehow over...

Skincare Wishlist #1

Skincare is something that I always tend to neglect, I mean I just don't know where to start, what would work, what brands to go to, the lot. It's all a little overwhelming and if I'm honest a simple moisturiser, the odd spot cream and frequent face masks seems to keep my skin in good condition although I know thats probably the worst attitude to take oops. Skincare is something I'd love to get in...

Lush: Bloomin' Beautiful

Although I'm an avid Lush lover, I don't actually own that much from the brand and more surprisingly I've never featured anything Lush-ish on my blog, crazy I know! This Lush Blooming Beautiful box was something I was bought for my birthday & honestly it had been forgotten about until I had a right old drawer sort out the other day when I found it & knew it had to be used! The packaging is...

The Perfect Foundation for Pale Skin

Over the past, well probably since just before Christmas I've joined the MAC bandwagon and can't seem to get enough of their products, the only downside to this being there is only one stand in the whole of Northern Ireland & its always packed to the rafters so instead of standing around waiting to be colour matched I've managed to live without their foundation and concealer. MAC open another...

TAG: 7 Deadly Sins

Another tag I thought it'd be fun to give a whirl is the 7 deadly sins tag but the beauty version. Its basically answering questions based on the deadly sins but in relation to makeup goodies. A whole bunch of fun & who doesn't love a tag post?  1. Greed: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?  The most inexpensive would probably be something...

Wet 'n Wild Bits and Pieces

Ever since starting blogging I've had a shopping list as long as my arm to buy if I ever end up in America or Canada or such, very unlikely that it'll happen anytime soon but I can hope! There's so many brands I'd love to try such as Nyx, Wet 'n Wild and Covergirl etc and strangely enough when I was in Dublin of all places the other day I came across a Wet 'n Wild stand, surprised was not the...

Dublin & the Temple Bar

If you keep up to date with me on Twitter you'll know yesterday I was abruptly woken at 8:15 & given an hour to get ready and leave the house - that is if I wanted to go to Dublin for the day & of course that was a yes! I love city atmospheres and although I live in Belfast 'the capital city' it still isn't big enough for me, that's why when I get the chance of heading to a bigger city like...

& My Days Been Made

I wasn't planning on posting today, its a little bit of a curve ball but once this email popped up in my inbox earlier I knew I wouldn't be able to stop myself. Its pretty easy to click on to the daily mass of emails, have a read, see if something catches your eye & then leave them again but this afternoon Bloglovin' sent me a lovely message saying that my blog had just reached 400 followers...

Summer Playlist

This is a bit of a switch up of quite a regular post 'what I've been listening to' aka loving and since it's Summer 'supposedly' I thought I'd do a specific playlist instead. Usually as soon as the suns out I've the iPod on and spend my time blaring usually upbeat music - its just warm weather protocol and these are some of the tunes that have been stuck on repeat... a lot!  Paramore...
