Winter Skin SOS
Over the colder months our skin begins to suffer from flaking and dehydration. The winter is the time to get your skin in its best condition so that when spring and summer roll around you are ready for the new season. Its easy enough to cover up dry and flaky skin in the winter but by the spring you'll be wanting to have beautiful skin again, the time to put the work in is before spring rolls around. So get started now!
Sunday Stuff: Makeup Brush Washing
Everyone has they're own little pet peeves, one of mine is dirty makeup brushes.
For me its just a big no, not only does it mean that the brushes you are putting on your face everyday are harbouring bacteria likely to make you break out in spots but makeup simply just doesn't apply the same when your brushes are already caked in foundation for example. Clean brushes are a necessity for me. Now I'm not saying I'm perfect when it comes to regularly cleaning them, I mean, everyone gets a bit lazy from time to time but I aim to clean them once a week on a Sunday. Some people would clean theirs after every use no matter how often that is, whilst others would leave it a fortnight, a month, maybe even a year and some never do!

Review: Kiko Shadow Sticks
I recently went shopping in London with my friend and couldn't resist popping into Kiko, I had one particular product in mind when looking around the shop. I have heard some of my favourite beauty bloggers recommending their shadow sticks and comparing them to the By Terry Ombre Black Stars which although they look gorgeous are £29 which quite frankly I'm not willing to pay for a single stick eye shadow.
Body butter heaven
Most products I mention or review on here are either recommendations from fellow bloggers or are impulse buys however this is a first for me. My latest must-have body product was something that I discovered whilst at my boyfriends house over the Christmas period.
Review : Benefit They're Real Mascara
I was recently given a sample of Benefit's They're Real mascara and was very surprised by just how much I loved it. After falling in love with Lancôme's Hypnose Drama mascara at the beginning of the summer I thought I'd found 'the one'... in terms of a holy grail mascara, however They're Real is giving my much loved favourite a run for its money.
Review : L'Oreal Foundation Face Off
I always seem to be on the hunt for the perfect high-street foundation. I am a big fan of the L'Oreal Paris True Match Foundation and I have it in a couple of different colours because I like to be able to wear it regardless of the time of the year. At the moment I wear shade N1 Ivory. This is a staple foundation for me that I know will always look good on my skin due to its medium coverage and liquid-y formulation making it 'super-blendable' as the bottle suggests.
