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 […]
I tried Beauty Pie! My honest thoughts, likes and dislikes and discount code!
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 […]
Welcome 2019 & Sharing my yearly Colourpop Haul
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 […]
My current 5 minute face!
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 […]
Fenty Beauty Summer Daze Mini Haul and Review
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 […]
Review: Glossier Lash Slick – Is it any good? BONUS: Glossier Lip Gloss.
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 […]
Super Holographic! A’Pieu Holographic Eyeshadow Review
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 tried Glossier! Coconut Balm, Perfecting Skin Tint, Stretch Concealer & Boy Brow Review
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 Power Matte Lip Creme & Glitter Glam Liner Review!
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 […]
Sale Haul: Stila Magnificent Metals Foil Finish Eye Shadow Review
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 […]
Mii Tropical Daydream Make Up Collection Review and Swatches
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). […]
The Estee Edit is going…should you stock up? I stocked up!
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 […]
FAIL: MAC Liptensity Lipstick in Toast ‘n’ Butter!
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 […]
Kat Von D Beauty arrives in Manchester! And ALL of the Liquid Lipstick swatched!
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 […]
Eyeko London – Mascara and Brow Product general review!
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 […]
Finally Mine! Anastasia Modern Renaissance Palette Review
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 […]
The Face Shop x Trolls Ink Draw Dual Eyes Magical Rose Review
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 […]
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Prismatic Amethyst
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 […]
Charlotte Tilbury The Queen Lipstick Review and Swatches
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 […]
