  • Makeup Trends I’m Still Here For | Personal Beauty Favourites

  • Red Lips – May, Myself And I #4

    May 4: Red Lips I think it’s pretty apt that I’m writing about red lips on a Saturday night. A long time ago (it makes me feel quite sick to think exactly how long ago it was!) I used to go out out on a Saturday night and I’d always be wearing red lipstick. I Read more

  • Things I’ve Been Loving | February 2018

    It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these posts, which are basically favourites but I don’t do them as often as everyone else. In fact, my last one was way back in November 2016!

  • Current Skincare Routine: Glossier UK Review

    Despite my love for all things beauty, I have never had a proper skincare routine. My skincare for the past six years or so has just included the cheapest items I could find, because my God can skincare be expensive!

  • Benefit Brow Bar Experience: Wax & Tint

    In a couple of weeks I’ll be turning 21 and instead of tackling all of the proper issues that are going on within this time, like reevaluating my future, my ideals and relationships,  I chose to get my eyebrows done professionally. Because I’m a woman now. I have only ever had my eyebrows done once Read more

  • The Beauty Edit: A Cheeky Drugstore Haul

    There seems to be a lot of beauty happening on this blog right now but considering it’s become one of my favourite pastimes once again, I’m not complaining!

  • Five Cheap Beauty Picks I’m Loving Right Now

    Can we just ignore the fact that I have been absent from this blog for quite some time and jump straight into one of my favourite topics of the moment; beauty.
