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 …
Crabtree & Evelyn’s NEW Everyday Nature’s Care Collection: A Fragrance For Every Need
There are always three beauty products I have in my handbag at all times; a lip balm, an eyebrow pencil (thanks trich) and a tube of hand cream. I like to think of this trio as my ‘everyday beauty essentials’ when I’m out and about. Having dermatillomania (a compulsive skin-picking disorder that’s like trichotillomania’s twin…I …
Easy But Delicious: Lemon and Blueberry Cupcakes
I’ve been stocking up on daffodils to brighten the home (although it still seems to early) and starting to get into the spring mood, including the things I’m cooking. Although hearty, stodgy bakes are great comfort foods for those cold weekends when you’re stuck indoors, I think you can’t go wrong with citrus-flavoured cakes when …
Body Moisturising Mists: The Time-Saving Beauty Products You Need!
Although it’s nice to take time out for your beauty routine, pop on a face mask and lather on a nourishing body butter, I for one never actually get round to doing this. I often think, ‘I’m going to run myself a nice Lush bath this weekend and finally use the plethora of gorgeous beauty …
Love At First Use: Sleek’s Highlight Palette in ‘Solstice’
I honestly think that Sleek are one of the best budget brands around, especially when it comes to powder-type products such as highlight, blush, bronzer, contour etc. Ever since I discovered their Blush by 3 palette (review from way back in the day here), I have been wowed by how pigmented their products are; they …
Classic & Classy: Leighton Denny Nail Varnishes
I own a lot of nail varnishes. In fact, I have so many nail varnishes I have to keep them in their own case (and that’s after a clear out!). There’s something so complete about having freshly painted nails; it makes you feel extra confident and like you 100% have your life together, plus it’s …
