Beauty Do's and Don't's | 2015


I by no means consider myself an expert, but over the many years of experimenting with various beauty products and looks, I've learnt a thing or two about what works and what doesn't.

1. Eyeliner | Know when to stop. It's so easy to get carried away trying the perfect the feline flick, but it's easier still to soon find yourself sporting a panda eye. My tip is to start small. Don't go for anything too dramatic and tricky. Take small easy steps to achieve your desired look, this'll make it easier to copy to the other eye too.

Valentines Day Gift Guide for Him | 2015


Valentine's day is quickly approaching and whilst us girls may be easily pleased, finding the perfect gift for your boyfriend is never an easy task.

I will have spent the last 4 valentine's with the same guy, and I thought finding him a gift would be easier the longer we were together. I was wrong, so very wrong. Every year I've struggled and this year is no exception.

January Favourites | 2015


Well I never, it's February already.

I've been waiting to write this blog post since the start of the year. I'd purchased so much beauty products at the beginning of the month I really could not wait to try them out and write about them. Although a few of the items that have made it onto the list are old favorites and holy grail products of mine, a handful of them are relatively new to my collection.

Lusting Over the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette | 2015


Urban Decay have got to be the masters of eye shadow palette's. From the beautiful packaging to the flawless shades, they have got it down to a T. 

When it comes to eye shadow, I always play it safe. A neutral eye paired with winged liner and a red lip is my go-to look. To achieve this, I usually stick to my comfort zone and play around with the shades of the Naked 2 palette, however when I saw the colors included in the Naked 3 palette, I just had to get my hands on it!

Lush Haul | 2015




Okay, that's the last pun, I promise.

Anyone who knows me personally, or even follows me on my social media sites, would be able to tell you that I have an undying love for lush bath products. I am constantly posting snaps of my magnificently chromatic baths on instagram, accompanied with an excited, yet restricted to 140 characters, babble about the fizzing shenanigans of the chosen bundle of joy on twitter.

Over the past two months I've acquired a considerable amount of lush goodies, some of which were  gifted to me and some of which I invested in myself. So naturally, a good ol' lush ramble is in order, brace yourselves.
