In my 21 years of having trichotillomania, I have never found a way to beat it. The fact that there is no ‘cure’ per se used to really get me down, but I’ve since accepted my trich for what it is and started searching for short-term solutions to help fight the urges when they get …
Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner I’ve tried loads of eyeliners in the past- from gel, to pen and liquid- and this is the one I always come back to. Collection have this knack of creating some real bargain hero products (including the Lasting Perfection concealer!), and this eyeliner is one of my faves. Whilst the nib …
Trichotillomania has made me hate photos of myself. Something you don’t realise until you have no eyebrows is that even with make-up filling them in, photos often show the baldness (it makes them look shiny…it’s difficult to describe but the photos almost take away the make-up). The best ways to try and stop this is …
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 …
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.

You spent 12 minutes applying a pair of $2 strip lashes. By minute 45, the inner corner had lifted. By minute 90, one strip was dangling off your lash line like a broken awning. You spent the rest of the night holding a compact mirror in the bathroom, pressing it back down with a finger …
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 …
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 …
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 …
