May Favourites

It's that time of month again where I sit down and chat to you about my favourite things throughout the month of May. This month has probably been my busiest month of the year so far, as I've had deadline after deadline and have been revising like crazy for my end of year exams at Uni, which will finally be over on Tuesday! It's safe to say I'm so excited to finish second year, celebrate with my friends and then move back home and start my new job! In fact excited doesn't even cover it.


Review: The Body Shop Shade Adjusting Drops

When summer rolls around whether you tan naturally (lucky you!) or like me you use a gradual tan to build a bit of colour and glow to your skin, you will more than likely have the problem of matching your foundation to the rest of your skin. So instead of buying each of your foundations in multiple colours The Body Shop has provided an affordable option to change the colour of your foundation to match your skin perfectly!


Top Tips for Long Lasting Makeup

Something that many people struggle with when it comes to makeup is how to make it last. Depending on products and skin type makeup will last differently on different people. Here are my top 4 tips to keep your makeup looking perfect for as long as possible.


MAC Haul

I recently placed an online order from the MAC website and thought I'd share my purchases!


Day-to-Night makeup look: champagne eye with nude lip to bronzey eye with red lip

On Wednesday I went out for lunch and then went out clubbing that night for my friends birthday so I wanted to have really nice makeup that could take me from my natural day look to a glam night out makeup look as I didn't have time to re-do all my makeup. I thought this would be quite useful for those of you making a quick transition from work, college or university to going out in the evening!


Epilating : First Impressions and Braun Silk-Epil 5 Review

For years shaving was my hair removal method of choice however I started to get frustrated with how often I had to shave my legs to keep them smooth and hair free. The smooth feeling never lasted more than a couple of days and the hair grew back thicker, making the whole problem worse. I'd heard that epilating gave better results in terms of removing smaller, finer hairs and keeping you smooth and hair free for much longer. I was lucky enough to be given the Braun Silk-Epil 5 (5780) Epilator for Christmas (blog post of what I got here) and to cut a long story short I haven't shaved my legs since!


Top 5 Travel Makeup Palettes

I am a big fan of makeup palettes, their so convenient as you have so many shadows or products all in one palette as opposed to having individual products. This means that they're great for travelling! I have my top 5 for you today!

Perfect Matte Lipstick Prep + DIY Lip Scrub'

Matte lipsticks are beginning to take over from glossy, shiny lip products and thats all well and good but what if you have uneven, dry, chapped lips but want to pull off a gorgeous matte bold lip ? You don't want it to look patchy, flakey or show all the fine lines in your lips, but all matte lips do that right?! Wrong! You can make any matte lipstick look so much better on your lips regardless of the formula in two quick and easy steps to help  maintain gorgeous lips!



April Favourites

The month of April has flown by for me, I started it at home for the Easter holidays and ended it in revision mode ready for exams! This month has been pretty amazing for me though in all honesty, I secured a new job for my placement year as a teaching assistant starting in June which I'm honestly over the moon about! I attempted to save someones life using CPR and after years of on-off lessons, I passed my driving test! It's safe to say I'm incredibly happy. May will be the hardest month however as I have 3 exams and an assignment due in! So I'm going to be crazy busy! As I've mentioned on social media I will more than likely only post on Sundays for the next month so as to focus on my uni work. But you're all here to see the beauty favourites this month so let's right to it!
