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 …
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 …
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 …
Roughly 80% of women report wearing makeup while sick, according to a 2026 survey by the American Academy of Dermatology. But here’s the problem: most of the products they reach for — heavy foundations, matte lipsticks, powder blushes — actively make cold symptoms worse. That foundation settles into dry patches. The matte lip cracks and …
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, …
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 …
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 …
