I recently decided, in a bid to save money, that I would start investing in my makeup; so less charging around Boots splurging £30 on makeup every other week, and more buying the occasional high-end product. I figured this would help me save some money, but if I’m honest, I’m spending exactly the same amount […]
MAC Nude Lips
When I was in Paris last month, I made the essential pilgrimage up the Champs-Élysées to the temple that is Sephora, where I treated myself to my fourth MAC lipstick and my first ever MAC liner: Viva Glam II and Boldly Bare. I managed to restrain myself somewhat, as they only cost me €25, which is just […]
Top Makeup Products 2015
In just a few days, 2015 will be over! I really enjoyed reading Hayley’s Top Makeup Products of 2015 on Tea Party Beauty, so I thought I’d do a similar one. As a sort of end of year round-up, I’m going to share some of my favourite makeup products I’ve discovered, bought and loved in 2015 […]
Top 5 – Nude Lip
Along with bold red, another lip look you’ll regularly see me rocking is nude lips. I’ve loved them ever since I saw the front of Britney Spears’ Femme Fatale album, although she’s wearing a slightly more pink nude than I usually go for. Recently, the nude lip look took the beauty world by storm with […]
Revlon Colourburst Lip Butters
I picked up these Revlon Colourburst Lip Butters in (you guessed it) one of my Boots-Trolley-Dashes. I’ve had the shades Sugar Frosting and Creme Brulee for a while now, but I just couldn’t resist adding a few more to my collection. I wanted some brighter shades for summer, so I chose Wild Watermelon and Sorbet. I really […]
How Much Is My ‘Face’ Worth?
I saw this post on Lauren’s Looks and I thought it was such a fun read; so I had to try it out myself! I’ve been thinking about doing the classic ‘What’s In My Makeup Bag?’ post, but I think this twist sounds more fun. Basically, I’m going to tot up the prices of the […]
5 Product Face
I’ve seen this 5 Product Face challenge on a couple of other blogs, and I thought it was such a good idea. I think it’s so interesting to see what people choose when they can only have the bare minimum – do they focus on base, lips, eyes etc.? Having said that, it’s also been […]
Berry Lips – Tutorial
Berry lips have to be one of my favourite lip looks – I’ll wear them all year round, no matter how many times I’m told they’re an Autumn/Winter thing! I think dark plum lips and an all-white outfit can look amazing in summer; for a more spring-time look, I’ll team them with a bit of […]
June Favourites
It seems to be the thing to start a June Favourites post with ‘I can’t believe it’s July already’ but, to be totally honest with you, I can believe it’s July already! I’m writing this post in my garden, it’s an amazing 23 degrees (it’s 5pm!) and I’m wearing a maxi dress. Summer has come to Britain, people. And with […]
Top 5 – Bold Red Lip
If there’s one product I just can’t get enough of recently, it’s red lipstick. This year, I’ve been trying to be a bit braver with my makeup looks and painting my lips red has become my favourite way to do that! In my opinion, it’s a look that works for all seasons, all weathers, and 9 […]
