A couple of months ago I was browsing through my Blog lovin’ feed and came across a review of this brush set by From Roses. I wasn’t in the market for any new brushes, but I was completely blinded by her gorgeous photos. ….And let’s be honest, no one has ever won a fight against […]

My love affair of the NYX Butter Glosses started over 5 months ago when my friend Ashley sent me a cute little package with lots of lip products including the Nyx Butter Gloss in the shade ‘Vanilla Cream Pie’. I hadn’t heard of them before, but from the moment it graced my lips I was […]

A girl can never have too many lipsticks (actually I’m in lipstick overload at the moment). BUT I wanted to share with you the lipstick I’ve been wearing religiously since the moment I bought it. It’s been a really long time since I’ve obsessed over one particular lipstick, but this one just seems to go […]

I’d originally not been very interested in this concealer when I saw it, but when I was in Canada I decided why the hell not! So, basically, Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer says it “instantly erases the appearance of dark circles and fine lines. Visibly diminishes the appearance of puffiness.” Now, I don’t have fine […]

Looking for a glorious sun-kissed glow? It is an open secret that bronzers are a woman’s go-to option to get that envious tanned look. The best part is that it requires bare minimum effort from your side. And coming from someone who’s got ‘porcelain’ skin–let me be the first to tell you that this is […]

Do you dream of blemish-free skin? So do we! Flawless skin is nothing short of an enviable goal for those who struggle with large pores on a day-to-day basis. We try putting on a bunch of ointments, home remedies, and dermatologists to get the right skin remedies. However, getting rid of those large pores is […]

Long fluttering eyelashes is a blessing every woman wants. But not all of us can say that we’re genetically gifted in that department. Can we? That’s why we usually opt for lusciously long fake eyelashes or as the millennial world calls it ‘falsies’. We feel that women all over the world mutually agree that falsies […]

Thought it would be nice to go into more depth about my all time favourite blushes! NARS! They are such a gorgeous and creamy texture, easy as pie to blend and have a certain “je ne said quoi” quality about them! NARS Laguna Bronzer I’m not going to go too much into this, because I’ve […]

Highlighters… Something I can’t leave the house without these days. My skin always looks so dull and a bit grey-especially in the colder months. A little bit of reflection on the tops of the cheekbones can really bring some life to your face and I’m going to share with you my favorite products to use! […]

Mineral makeup is a staple in my everyday makeup routine because it’s so natural looking and evens out the blotchy red patches in my skin. I have lots of favorites, but I recently got the Tarte Amazonian Clay Airbrush Foundation and it is so amazing that I had to share it with you! The texture […]

I have been wanting a new makeup table for a very long time because my last one wasn’t really working out for me. I wanted something a bit more light and airy looking, but couldn’t find anything I liked! That’s when Aslan offered up his services and told me he was going to make me […]

I don’t normally get too excited for celebrity makeup collaborations, but for some reason when it’s a drugstore makeup brand I always get so curious! I was recently given the chance to try out some things from the new Rita Ora for Rimmel collection and I’m very impressed. There are 12 brand new 60 Second […]

It’s not too often that a single nail polish is worthy of its very own blog post, but I think Splash of Grenadine definitely deserves its own slot. There’s a little story to go along with this color (as always)… A few weeks ago I treated myself to a manicure and was faced with the […]

I was not expecting this lip crayon to be half as pigmented as it is. In just one swipe I had opaque, Hollywood red lips. The formula is not sticky at all and is very creamy-it glides on like a dream. These Lord & Berry 20100 (pronounced two-zero-one-zero-zero?) come in 15 different colors ranging from […]

I remember a time when I would’ve run for the hills at the sight of a lipliner. They seemed so old-fashioned, but something inside my brain switched and now I’m turning into a crazy lip-liner addict and I always want more, more, MORE LINERS! I think I like them so much because they’re accurate, they’re […]

I’ve always loved the idea of colored eyeliner, but I’m a bit of a scaredy cat when it comes to non-neutrals. I thought going for a dark navy blue liner would be an interesting way to try something different, while still staying in my comfort zone. You can see the love affair unwind in this […]

I bought this lipstick on a whim quite a few weeks ago now and I’m SO pleased with it! I have my fair share of red lipstick but I think this one is a really unique shade! MAC Brick-O-La Brick-O-La is an Amplified Creme formula (one of my favorites) and gives opaque color with just […]

Covergirl’s Natureluxe Foundation has been on my radar for a REALLY long time. I found it quite odd that I got it before Christmas & just got around to using it 4 days ago! Before I go into it, I just want to say that I had one of the worst skin reactions I’ve ever […]

It’s so handy to have a little palette for bronzing and highlighting because it’s more compact and easier to travel with. I thought I’d do a roundup of my favorite bronzing and highlighting kits today because there are quite a few options! Charlotte Tilbury Sculpt and Highlight This is definitely the most glamorous of them […]

I’ve been harping on about this eyeshadow palette for a good chunk of May and I thought swatches would be very useful if you are considering purchasing this palette from thebalm! Luckily, if you live in London you can see it in person at and Other Stories, but if not I think Feel Unique is […]

It was really hard for me to narrow down my 5 favorite MAC lipsticks colors and shades, but I think I managed to choose the ones I get the most use out of. Of course, there are other MAC lipsticks I love (like Brick-O-La!), but I couldn’t choose them all! In no particular order… MAC […]

I have a slight addiction to Tarte in general, but it’s the Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blushes that really kicked it all off for me. They claim to be a long-wearing, fade-free blush which really appeals to me because I feel like my blush always disappears mid-way through the day. I wouldn’t say these blushes […]

I’ve been swept off my feet by the Jouer Matte Moisture Tint and there’s no one else to blame for this except Kate from Gh0stparties. She’s used it in a bunch of her YouTube tutorials as well as blog posts and eventually I cracked. You probably know that I’m a big fan of the light-medium […]

Being invited to go to the Burberry show is going on the list of best things to EVER happen to me. I was so excited to attend not only the show but also to see a preview of the S/S15 beauty collection. To top it all off, Wendy Rowe herself (artistic consultant for Burberry and […]

This may not seem like a big deal to most of you reading this, but I just need to explain something. Since I was 6 or 7 years old, I have been addicted to Blistex Lip Medex. You’re probably laughing right now, but I’m trying to be SERIOUS! I couldn’t leave the house without it, […]
