Afternoon everyone! I thought I’d do a group review of some of the new things I’ve been testing out these last few weeks. You may know that I have a new addition to the family so unsurprisingly, we are just getting through each day as it comes, as so often happens when you have a […]
Hello everyone! First beauty post in a while but I thought I’d share my thoughts on the beauty subscription (essentially) company, Beauty Pie, which I signed up to last year. I had heard of it but had largely ignored it until then. I am not sure why I did sign up now I think […]
Happy New Year Everyone! I can’t believe it’s 2019 already – last year has flown by and it was a relatively quiet one for us in terms of nothing dramatic happening – that’s not a bad thing is it? I am a resolutions fan, and this year they roughly go like this: 1. Spend […]
Ok so at the time of writing it is absolutely boiling in the UK – unbearably so (hey, its tradition to moan about the heat when it’s here and complain when it isn’t) so my make up routine is really at a near standstill. It feels uncomfortable and melts off too quickly although – I […]
I must admit, I haven’t tried lots from the Fenty Beauty range although I am rather taken by what I have tried – at least it tries to be fun and colourful, you know? Fun was the first thought I had when I saw Rihanna’s 10 minute guide to make up over on Vogue, (I […]
I can’t seem quit Glossier, like I can’t seem to quit bacon. I know it’s no good for me, I am trying to stop eating meat in general but then my ma, who is the worse at constantly trying to entice me and over feed me comes along with a perfectly fried piece of bacon […]
A’Pieu is one of those Korean brands that is always around but doesn’t usually catch my interest at all. It’s there in the background, certainly affordable but not very interesting – I suppose it is my Korean version of say, Bourjois. Anyhow I spotted an eyeshadow range from A’Pieu and it didn’t look very interesting until […]
I have heard so much about Glossier, that I found it impossible to avoid hauling a few more products! I bought 4 items from the website recently: I decided to try one of their lip balms (they have different scents and shades), in Coconut (£10), Perfecting Skin Tint in Dark (£20), Stretch Concealer in Dark […]
Mii Cosmetics, by Gerrard International is fast becoming a brand I’m really enjoying using – the products are effective, the prices are not outrageous and there’s some interesting pics in there. I recently tried a few items (soon to be released) including the Power Matte Lip Creme (4 shades, £18 each) and the Glitter Glam […]
The story goes, I once saw this Stila Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow on a counter and fell instantly in love. I LOVE EYE GLITTER. It is totally my thing, I have n o shame wearing layers of glitter on my eyes to Tesco, I don’t care. BUT. I was stopped in my tracks when […]
I was recently sent some lovely bits of make up from Mii Cosmetics from their Tropical Daydream collection to try. I am not sure of how many of you know of the brand but I really do like their stuff – I have a few items I use regularly (such as the brow mascara). […]
Despite the fact that The Estee Edit as only been around for around a year, it was announced in June 2017 (last month – its July 02nd at this moment in time, give me a chance to catch up) that the entire line is being discontinued. The range will be removed from Selfridges in November […]
What was I expecting from MAC’s Liptensity Lipstick? Well it had been recommended to me by a few sources, for the texture, for the colour on olive skin tones, for many reasons. I caved and purchased it for £17.50 and I was expecting a super creamy balm like texture with a lot of pigmentation and […]
I have liked Kat Von D beauty for the longest time – in fact years ago I remember getting a friend to buy me her palettes from Sephora, and paying £50 for a palette on eBay which had a retail of about $25. So many years later, the brand has arrived officially in the […]
Does anyone else remember what the brand Eyeko used to look like? If you are a million years old like me, you will know their famous product was a mascara in a toothpaste like tube, which was in pink packaging with a sweet kawaii cartoon girl as the logo. It was super sweet and cute […]
Oh, you know those beauty products that everyone talks about and says is amazing, but you avoid? Yeah. Anastasia Modern Renaissance palette is one of them. I don’t like cardboard packaging in the slightest, I don’t like too many reddish tones. Everyone talked about this amazing palette and I had zero interest. Then…..a You Tuber […]
So, my kiddos are currently obsessed with Disney’s Moana, which I adore because the music and animation is fantastic. They are also toying with Trolls, a Dreamworks production, which I find utterly annoying because of the lame story and average music…but you know, kids. They like what they like. That didn’t stop me from buying […]
When H2 asked me what I wanted for Mother’s Day, I said, ok, well you may only be 2, but I would really appreciate the new Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Prismatic Amethyst, please. And like magic, POOF! On Mother’s Day, pretty make up I did get. I adore my Becca x Jaclyn Hill […]
When people ask my what my favourite type of make up is, I used to say, everything. Now these days I would say…lipstick. Closely followed by many other beauty products but for a quick hit, it has to be a luxury lipstick. Gone are the days of buying several cheap lipsticks from Korea – I […]
Happy Thursday y’all. How is your week going? My laptop died last week and I have spent a week trying to recover everything which was…not at stressful as I thought. Maybe because I wasn’t living through my laptop as much as I used it, I went with the flow. At least I got my most […]
