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.

Review: Maybelline Colour Drama Lipstick

Whilst perusing the isles at Boots a couple of weeks ago I stumbled across the new Maybelline display with an array of new lip crayons to which I was instantly drawn.

Coconut Oil and its many uses!

There are so many benefits of coconut oil, and it is well known to be a really effective moisturising treatment as well as being used as a cleanser or makeup remover. It’s one of my beauty staples that I don't like to be without, I never know when I am going to need it.

Brow routine

This seems to have been the year of the brow for me. I've slowly worked my way through various brow products and techniques until I've found something that seems to be working fairly well for me. Now I must say I'm not 100% happy with my current routine but my brows look better than they used to ( in my opinion at least!).

Below are a couple of photos before and after I 'did my brows'.

Top 5 Affordable Bronzers

1. The Body Shop Honey bronzer - shade 02 - £13 (however the body shop often has 50% off, so if you're thinking of buying this, wait for a sale) MY HOLY GRAIL BRONZER

This bronzer is perfect for light skin and is very natural. It blends effortlessly into the skin to give a flawless natural bronzed look. It isn't one of those bronzers that requires a very light hand, meaning that its almost foolproof and is perfect for those who are new to applying bronzer or would like a natural everyday look.
