Liquid Lipstick Collection

I'm like a magnet when it comes to pretty coloured liquid lipsticks and NYX and Revlon seem to have a really good selection of liquid lipsticks, so I thought I'd share my thoughts on my (very small) collection 

Goof Proof Eyebrow Pencil

Looking for the perfect eyebrow product?  Wanting to get that full look without accidentally getting the sharpie look? 

TV Shows I have been Loving

Glitter Smokey Eye

Can we just talk about that highlight?! Lottie London Highlights are next level... 

Eyebrow Products I Love

"Eyebrows are sisters not twins"... mine are more like long lost cousins but I try aha, these are some of the products I have been using on my brows recently...

Naked Smoky Every day makeup look

I wanted to see how much of a simple, wearable, every day makeup look I could achieve with Naked Smoky by Urban Decay, and I think we have achieved just that :) 

Clinique Moisture Surge Range

Caring for you skin is so important and although I have been very lucky with my genetics regarding my skin (thanks mum and dad - guess I'll forgive you for giving me a big nose), I do also try my best to look after it the best I can through various lotions and potions and Clinique products appear to play a massive role in my skincare routine.

High End Vs Drugstore (Urban Decay Naked 2)

A dupe post for you guys today... Is the W7 'Colour me Buff' palette the ultimate Urban Decay Naked 2 dupe? 

Hot Pinks

I don't even know where to start with this makeup look post, I love it so so much. 

New In my Makeup Collection

I have not been makeup shopping in the longest time but I thought I'd share with you what I have picked up over the last couple of weeks... 

Too Faced Chocolate Palette

Guys, look how gorgeous this palette is!!! I have finally jumped on the bandwagon with Too Faced and I am thoroughly enjoying the ride already!

How to Boss your Revision 10 Ways

This half of the uni/school/college year is always when people start thinking about starting revision and planning for those dreaded summer exams - this is actually the first year that my exams were done in January and after 10 years of taking exams every single year I have finally got a revision technique that works for me so I thought I'd share incase anyone is looking for tips and tricks. But please don't hate me if they don't work for you - it's just what works for me!

High End vs Drugstore (UD Afterglow Palette)

Interested in getting basically the same palette for about £20 less?! If that's a yes then keep reading... 

Naked Heat Palette

Is this not the most gorgeous palette you have ever seen?! Naked Heat by Urban Decay is rapidly became my favourite palette I've owned and so I thought I'd share it with you incase you're needing makeup recommendations :) 

(I am fully aware that we are now on Naked Cherry but I just love this palette so so much) 

Eyeshadow Primer Comparison

As you probably know by now, UD Primer Potion is my holy grail product when it comes to eyeshadow priming, I've honestly never found anything comparable. So I'm trying the Too Faced Shadow Insurance to see how it compares...

Confidence.

The other day I was in the gym and I just had this super random almost epiphany like thought, and it made me want to write a mini post on confidence. Anyone who knows me well will know that I am not the most confident person in the world when it comes to self-belief or anything really ahah.

Soft Golds

Something was apparently super funny when I was capturing these images but today I am back with another fun makeup look today, using a multitude of various palettes because apparently one was not enough! 

My Everyday Makeup

 I am fully aware that this post features Naked Heat which is literally all I ever talk about, but bear with aha... I wrote this post to show the more everyday look that can be created with this palette compared to the more 'going out' look I created the other day (find that here)

High End: Starting Out

Today's post is a little different, but I thought I would suggest a couple of products which would be great if you're wanting to start out with high end makeup! These were the first few bits that I started buying :) 

Evening Skincare Favourites

Over Christmas I received some new skincare which I have been trialling and testing out and thought I'd share the routine and products that are working for me currently (not all of these were gifts for Christmas this year, only a couple!) I tend to use these mostly in the evening and am super lazy in the mornings and just use a standard face wash and moisturiser as I'm nearly always running late! 

L'Oreal Pure Clay Blemish Rescue Mask

Is there anything better than climbing into bed after a long day, turning on all the fairy lights, lighting some candles and applying a face mask? I don't think so! 

Fiery Reds

This has to be my favourite ever make up look that I have created on my blog, it is kind of a bolder take on my every day makeup look and so I just thought I'd take some photos and share it incase anyone was needing some inspo :) I love looking back at these kind of posts to see the evolution of my makeup style and just style in general. 

Current Crime TV Shows.

Someone said to 'write the blog you'd love to read' and I thought to hell with it, I will write a post on crime television. I honestly I love my crime dramas, thrillers, documentaries you name it. Don't get me wrong I am not a criminal myself ( do not know why I felt the need to clarify this), although I think I did terrify the girl sat next to me in lectures today when I was discussing a creepy case with my friends. Seeing as January is the perfect time to binge watch series and there has been some super good tv on recently I thought I would share a brief round up of some of my favourite crime thrillers/documentaries that have been on recently.

Hi :) 

When I see other bloggers winning awards for the 'best blog' etc etc, it always makes me think that I could probably win the award for the worst blogger ever seriously I'm not joking. Over the summer I had soooo many posts written and ready to go, I was so proud of myself and then I completely forgot they existed and here I am a very long time later considering starting up my writing again *and breathe*. Not to post with an end goal but just as a therapeutic outlet to talk about the things I love and to share them with other people. 

In the last (oh man this is bad) YEAR AND A HALF since I have posted some things have changed but not significantly! I graduated with a First Class Honours in Biological Sciences at NTU and decided that instead of being a grown up and getting a job I would do my Masters in Molecular Cell Biology instead so I can become a Master of Sciences (because that sounds cool, does it not?!). I still have no plans for my adult life, no grad schemes, jobs nothing (cries internally). 

Another exciting update, I dyed my hair back to brown because past me realised that blonde was a) hard to up keep nicely b) very expensive (hello overdraft) and c) very hard to stop from going yellow. Basically it was fun being a blonde but brunettes definitely have more fun! 

I think this time around, I would like to put entries on my blog in a more chatty manner rather than worrying that they don't read 'professionally' because in reality I am completely ditsy and a bit of a nutcase which I have completely embraced and am proud of (and sometimes slightly mortified). Honestly pass me a G&T and the things that come out of my mouth are questionable! 

So yeah, I just thought I'd give the whole thing a go again and see whether I do fall back in love with it again or whether I really am the worlds crappest blogger ever (sorry for swearing mum) 

BYE
