I must admit, I’ve not worn a lot of makeup this month because I’ve been in a bad pain flare. And then my skin was awful, and to top it all off, the last two weeks I’ve had colossal cold sores. There’s nothing more of a deterrent to cosmetics than a scabby face and mouth….

Beauty Haul: High End and High Street
I can’t remember the last time I shared a beauty haul but I’m pretty sure it was a while ago. However, fear not, I’m back to show you some goodies I’ve bought (and won) over the last two weeks. It was my 30th birthday in January and I received a few Boots gift vouchers (which…
Top 10 Holy Grail Products featuring Mermaid in Disguise
Today is an exciting post as I’m writing this in collaboration with my wonderful twin (we were separated at birth a few years apart, don’t question it), Beth from Mermaid in Disguise. Beth was one of my first spoonie blogger friends and we chat all day every day about absolutely nothing all things important (with…
Valentine’s Day Makeup Look
As much as I love makeup, I realised that I only usually feature it in reviews or hauls. So, I thought I’d actually create a look and show you what I came up with. And since it’s Valentine’s Day next week, what better time to paint my face. Now, I’m not a professional makeup artist,…
January Favourites
Whaaa, how are we in February 2017? Scratch that, we’re in 2017, I don’t know about you but even typing that seems weird. So, January run-down, the main thing – I turned 30. Yeah, I know, I only look 22 right? Is that a push? Anyway, I digress, January was extremely exciting. Other than my…
Make Up For Ever Pro Light Fusion Highlighter Review
I treated myself to this when I ordered the Too Faced Sweet Peach palette as I’d wanted it for a while and I’m all about that glow. As soon as it arrived I swatched it on the back of my hand and wasn’t disappointed. Make Up For Ever Pro Light Fusion Highlighter – 01 Golden…
Shadow Switch Dry Brush Cleaner Review
The Shadow Switch has been popping up all over social media lately, and I’ve seen countless blog posts about it so I needed to give it a go to see what all the hype was about. I’m all for jumping on a bandwagon and I have to admit was pretty cynical about this product so…
Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette Review
Oh my days, I can’t tell you how annoyed I was that I missed this palette when it was released as a limited edition product last year. But when I found out it would be making a comeback, the joy was real. Too Faced has released a Sweet Peach collection alongside this palette but it’s…
A Masterclass with Clinique
Last week I attended my first blogger event at the Clinique counter in Debenhams, intu Milton Keynes. I’m a huge Clinique fan; they were the first luxury skincare brand I used when I was having problematic teenage skin, and more recently I’ve really fallen in love with their makeup, so I was extremely excited to…
The Body Shop Matte Liquid Lipstick
If you pop by here often you’ll notice that I’m a huge liquid lipstick fan…actually let me rephrase that, I’m a huge fan of high-end liquid lipstick. Call me a snob but I’ve found the staying power, pigmentation and wear much more comfortable and all-round better quality with the more expensive brands. So, when I…
