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, …
How To Make: Mini Tortilla Wrap Pizzas
I love experimenting with recipes- although (as you can probably tell from this site), it’s usually baking. However, once in a while I will try a new savoury recipe. Although not many make it on to this site (apart from stand-out creations like these puff pastry twists), some things are just too clever/ convenient/ tasty …
The Alfa Italia Detangling Hair Brush That’s Become A Staple Beauty Item
There are certain beauty tools that, although aren’t necessarily the most glamourous thing to discuss, are essential to our everyday routines. Whether that be an amazing toothbrush, the blending tool you can’t live without or the hair brush that leaves your hair feeling amazing, there are some things that are just worth mentioning. What’s great …
