There’s something about freshly painted nails that just make you feel like you’ve got your life together. I have a bad habit of picking at my nails, so when they get to a good stage where I can paint them and they don’t look like a stubby mess I feel as though I have accomplished …
NEW Smashbox Be Legendary & Always on Matte Liquid Lipsticks
It’s a brand I haven’t had much experience with in the past, having only really tried a mascara of theirs and a primer. The new Be Legendary range is full of totally on-trend liquid lipsticks, covering both plain colours and a gorgeous collection of metallics, which were all designed by their lip editor-in-chief, Vlada Haggerty …
Best Make-Up Bits For Colds
I just can’t seem to shake it no matter the amount of Olbas oil, echinacea or flu tablets I have. Blowing my nose constantly has left me looking like Rudolph (at least I fit with the festive theme) and I’m getting a bit sick of coughing and spluttering every five minutes. When I have a …
Leighton Denny Two of a Kind: The Perfect Beauty Stocking Filler
As I’m not hugely experimental with my make-up, the only festive effort I’ll make is perhaps a red lip…I steer away from glittery eyeshadows and any of the artistry that you see on Instagram. The one thing I always make an effort with, however, is my nails. (Maybe because this is pretty foolproof, unlike winged …
Autumn Favourites
It’s that time of the year when the clocks go back, the trees are decorated with oranges and reds and the perfect evening is one snuggled under a warm blanket with a cup of tea (I’m an 80 year old at heart). I think we’ve all been clinging onto the last remnants of a summer …
The Bargain Makeup Brushes From eBay
The 8-piece set (which you can find on eBay here), features gorgeous rose-gold handles- hence why I was going to use them as blog props…so cliche! They don’t feel cheap at all; each brush is lightweight and the bristles are incredibly (and surprisingly) soft on your skin. I was worried that the bristles would shed, …
Aldi’s New Jo Malone-Inspired Reed Diffusers
I’ve had somewhat of a mild obsession with decorating my home with candles, potpourri and reed diffusers. If it smells nice and looks pretty, I’ll buy it! Even if it just perches on a shelf as a decorative piece looking pretty, just waiting in the queue of things to be used, I’ll just keep getting …
Neutrogena CC Cream: The Lightweight Base That’s Perfect For Everyday Wear
Although I’ve tried a few BB creams in the past, I don’t think I’ve actually used a CC cream before this one. With the alliteration standing for ‘colour correcting’, this is your one-stop foundation and concealer in one whilst somehow remaining as light as a BB cream. Neutrogena claims that it instantly covers spots whilst …
What You Need From Rimmel’s NEW Insta Collection
Insta Conceal & Correct (Colour Correcting Palette, £6.49) I’m kind of over colour correctors, having tried a couple of palettes when they first started being launched by more affordable brands about two years ago. I think I used them for a little while and then got bored and stuck to my usual concealer. It was …
Eylure’s NEW Enchanted False Eyelash Range
I’m pretty sure that Eylure have previously done a limited edition ‘Enchanted’ range, but, regardless, a new one has been launched (or at least new styles). Originally boasting 7 unique styles, I got hold of a new addition to the range, a style called ‘Lily’. The romantically girly-named collection is a gorgeous variety of soft, …
