Do you remember when Glossier launched in the UK and it was pretty much all the beauty world could talk about? I remember popping along to the launch - which was basically like a fashion show with all the hip young things standing around looking VERY serious, alongside me talking to a blogger friend about morning sickness, the glamour! - and I tried out their Milky Jelly Cleanser, thought it was fab (it is - find a mini here for £8 - link) then t[...]
Every so often, I like to visit the Mac counter and marvel at the array of products, textures and colours available - I so often overlook Mac as a brand to visit, but they really are reliable and have a lot to offer, so I tend to get these mini obsession sessions with them at least once a year, and one of those is currently happening now, hence my mini haul. One thing I love about Mac is how happy they are for you to sample their products b[...]
So, I was watching a YT video recently and...did everyone apart from me know it's pronounced "mor-phy?" I had no idea and I've been saying it completely wrong, apparently. Morphe(y) are most known, I'd say, pretty equally for their palettes and their brushes, and I was lucky enough to be sent a bit of both, with the amazing Nature Glow Palette becoming a firm favourite (honestly, I know Morphe is a range favoured by make-up artists, but if you'r[...]
Few things kickoff an Instagram furore quite as effectively as a new ABH palette launch, so yesterday, when the news broke of the new Anastasia Beverley Hills x Alyssa Edwards Palette collaboration, within minutes it was inescapably everywhere! Alyssa Edwards is an American Drag Performer, who's most known for her appearance on RuPaul's Drag Race. As we all know, Drag Queens are the true queens of eye make-up, so of course this collaboration is[...]
*PR Sample* My son and I both really struggle with allergies, and ever since we moved home a couple of years ago, our allergies have got so much worse, so I rely heavily on the aid of air purifiers and I currently have four - not even kidding. I have a lovely big one for my living room (the Homedics True HEPA Tower - I've had it for years and it's still going strong), one for each bedroom and a spare for backup. I always make sure the very[...]
*PR Samples/Aff. Links* My first ever introduction to a really good cream blusher was from Bobbi Brown, which came in a kind of stumpy little stick and the formula was beautiful. For some reason they were altered, with both the packaging and formula changing, which was a real loss. The Burt's Bees All Aglow Lip and Cheek Stick are the closest I've come to those beautiful blushers, and I would say everyone needs at least one of these in their[...]
*PR Samples/Aff. Links* The Smashbox Crystalized Collection is a collaboration with Bri Luna, who is the founder of The Hoodwitch and an expert in the power of crystals, so this collection is inspired by the magic of crystals in every sense; the shades are crystal-themed and the packaging itself is embellished with crystal-like decoration - this is crystal powered beauty and it's gorgeous! There's a little bit of everything the c[...]
*AD - SPONSORED CONTENT* Next week I start my Summer Holiday in Greece, and I can't wait! When I would holiday in my 20's, my main focus would be getting as much sun as possible, whereas nowadays I'm Factor 50 all the way, but I still want to get that sunkissed glow that only a tan can provide, so I've started looking into the available sunless tanning options. Fragrance Direct have recently starting stocking the Ezitan range, so I've tried a[...]
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," Dickens wrote, as he made his way through the YesStyle site and found himself confronted with all the K-Beauty joy his little heart could handle, knowing full well the impact it would likely have on his wallet. Probably. At least, that's how it's been for me since I found out about Yes Style recently, and now there's no turning back. I actually found it because I was looking to find a de[...]
I've dabbled with Pur makeup on and off for years, so I'm definitely familiar with the brand, but it seems over the past couple of years it's taken a new direction that I really like; the products just seem a lot more trendy, the vibe of the brand seems much more upbeat and there are a lot of lustworthy launches on their main page. Today I wanted to show you the amazing Pur Pro X Etienne Ortega Eyeshadow Palette, because it really is fantastic.[...]
*PR Sample/Aff. Links* If this is anything other than your first time visiting my blog, you'll probably know that I'm a bit of a mask fan and I always believe that one of the best mask treatments you can add to your routine is an acid mask, as they do so much in so little time, that even the beauty-weary would be able to find a couple of minutes to indulge. I have my firm favourites when it comes to acid masks as I like one that'll do all the[...]
