So I've lived nearly 10 weeks of lockdown with the same single eyeshadow palette and I've got to say I'm missing the choice; not that I've worn makeup most of that time, I just like looking at it you know.. yes, I'm weird. So I'm now finding myself scrolling through the internet, dreaming of a [...]
So I'm getting to that stage in lockdown where I'm almost having shopping withdrawal. I've always been a brick and mortar shopping addict, and so now with all these newsletters coming in from New Look, Topshop, Beauty Bay etc etc it's making it more and more difficult to keep up the spending ban [...]
There we were. On Monday 16 March. London theatres has just closed their doors. We'd been told to work from home. And I was facing the prospect of months locked away in a studio flat without contact with another human being... I, like many other people in the world, had to make the decision of [...]
As I'm sure you've gathered, I'm back at this after like an 8 month hiatus and how the world has changed. There was a time where I could write a blog post and guarantee it would have 100s of views... when blogging was THE thing... but I get this sense that if you haven't made [...]
Full disclaimer; I bought this in a sample sale. Also full disclaimer; I don't even care, this is still a real, full size, and undamaged Smashbox eyeshadow palette and I've enjoyed trying it and experimenting with it... and here we are! The Smashbox L.A. Cover Eye Shadow Palette is usually £39.50 but I purchased it [...]
So after my declutters last week there's no secret now that I'm a lipstick addict (second only to my eyeshadow addiction). I love wearing a slightly and almost unrecognisably different shade of lipstick day after day and I'm not ashamed to admit it. But there was one range of lipsticks I didn't include in those [...]
So we all know I love an empties post as much as the next blogger. But if writing my 'One Year of Empties' post taught me anything, it's that the beauty industry really uses a crazy amount of plastic. It's actually kinda dreadful. But the more I started thinking about it, the more I realised [...]
You know when you see people like NikkiTutorials stunning producing the boldest, most colourful look in the world and she looks stunning... so you try to recreate it, and it looks dreadful? Yup, that's me. That's me all over. In fact, I didn't think I wore much colour on my eyes (although I do wear [...]
After you take a break off blogging it feels weird to come back to it. It's almost like you've had a hand in a cast for months and now you've forgotten how to use it. I feel like when you come back from a hiatus you should do one of those 'here's where I've been' [...]
Last year I did monthly makeup wishlists, and while I still wish I could buy most makeup items I see, there's so much more in life I want to buy than makeup. So I thought for 2020 I would mix it up and talk about all kinds of things; makeup, skincare, fashion, and even tech! [...]
