When you ask most people what make-up means to them, I am sure many will give answers that go beyond purely aesthetic reasons. It’s a creative outlet, a form of expression, but it also empowers and allows you to convey who you are. The only difference is that trichotillomania has made me fear life without …

Elegant Touch Nails: Chrome Collection
The nails in question are from the relatively new Chrome Collection from Elegant Touch. The super-cool range features four different styles- all are stiletto shaped and run along the holographic theme but vary in colour. I used to really dislike stiletto nails (doing any small task with long, pointed claws becomes difficult!) and much preferred …
NEW EYELINER ALERT! Perfecting the Cat Flick with Flawless Lashes By Loreta
I feel like I’m a bit stubborn and unexciting when it comes to make-up. Once I find a product that works well, it takes a lot for me to venture out and try new things. I stick with what I know, and it usually never fails me! This goes for the RapidLash serum I rave …
Kiss True Volume Lashes – ‘Chic’
The ones I wore were these gorgeous lashes from my faves Kiss. The style is called ‘Chic’ and they’re part of their True Volume range- by far the most natural looking out of the range (‘Ritzy’ and ‘Spicy’ are definitely more glam and full-on!). I had never tried them before, and given that I was …
My All-Time Favourite False Eyelashes for Covering Trichotillomania
There are so many brands and styles out there it can be difficult to know where to start and what to look out for, and for the purposes of reviewing on this site I try out quite a fair amount- but not many of them become my go-to’s. Although the lashes that have made it …
Why Benefit’s Roller Lash Is My Favourite Mascara For Trichotillomania Lashes
Apart from one small gap, my eyelashes have finally grown through! Not only that, but they’ve grown to a length where I can actually wear mascara. If you are a hair loss or trichotillomania sufferer reading this, you’ll understand just how amazing that feeling is. As I haven’t had eyelashes for quite some time (I …
Nouveau Lashes: Lash & Brow Conditioning Serum for Trichotillomania
Somehow, it’s been nearly two months and I still have ALL of my eyelashes! When I do manage to grow them back, they never stick around for this long and I’m so happy (and proud) that I’ve still managed to keep them all. If you read this blog regularly, you’ll probably know that I pretty …
Primark’s Trio Nail Varnishes in ‘Nudes’
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 …
