Within this They’re Real bundle, I received the Big Lash Blowout (mascara), the tinted primer, eyeshadow duo, push-up eyeliner, and double the lip lipstick. So, let’s start with the mascara I’ve loved for the past few years! They’re Real is honestly such a fab mascara and packs a serious punch when it comes to lengthening …
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 …
L’Occitane Perfumes: Something For All Your Fragrance Needs
In general, I am quite boring with my perfumes. I see them as something I would never treat myself to, instead I usually receive a new one at Christmas from a relative. I play it safe with Marc Jacob’s ‘Daisy’ or YSL’s ‘Black Opium’ and rarely experiment with fragrance. Often, I don’t know where to …
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 …
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 …
