Galentine’s Day is just a few days away. This year I’m celebrating February 13th – aka the day of female friendship – by teaming up with my Galentine and blogging gal pal, Hannah from Not Another Blog.  Hannah and I usually get together a few times a year for blogging days at our favourite coffee […]

  The lovely Hannah from Not Another blog and I have teamed up to share our bedside beauty essentials with you. You can see Hannah’s go-to items in her post.   I don’t know about you but I always like to keep a few ‘bedside beauty essentials’ on my nightstand next to my bed.    […]

  This summer I am attending a selection of different festivals, from music festivals like Latitude to food and alcohol festivals (gin and prosecco mainly). I’m super excited to have the opportunity to attend all of these fantastic events. I know that I’m in for an amazing summer, and I literally cannot wait. (It’s going […]

  Last week, Clinique launched a brand new, highly innovative product: Dramatically Different Hydrating Jelly, and I was one of three lucky bloggers invited to attend a mini launch event in House of Fraser in Exeter.   When I saw the email arrive in my inbox from the lovely Alex, one of the Exeter Clinique […]

  Christmas is, without a doubt, my favourite time of the year. Not only do I love the day itself, I also enjoy the lead up to it – I mean, there is nothing better than watching Christmas movies, baking mince pies, and drinking A LOT of mulled wine. Another of my favourite parts of […]

  Dubbed ‘the everything brush’, these oval-shaped makeup brushes have taken the beauty industry by storm. Bloggers are going mad for them, myself included, of course. So when an email dropped into my inbox asking if I would like to sample and test a couple of these brushes out, I jumped at the chance.   […]

  Accessorize is, without a doubt, one of my favourite stores. I love their jewellery, bags, scarves, and cute little knick-knacks, not to mention their perfume. I must admit that I had never purchased any of the Accessorize perfumes before, but when an email landed in my inbox asking if I would like to sample […]

  I have always loved John Frieda products; my mum has curly hair and swears by their Frizz-Ease range. She’s also a hairdresser (and a good one at that – she used to work in Harrods), so that fact that she believes in their products cemented the fact that they are of a high quality. […]

  At the start of last year, I was invited to collaborate with Lily Comely on a review of some of their lovely products. A couple of weeks ago the PR team got in touch again to ask if I would like to review some more of their products, and me being the beauty lover […]

  As my beauty posts have been lacking recently, I thought I would start a new monthly series called ‘Haul Time: My Latest Makeup & Beauty Buys’. Once a month I’ll be sharing my newest makeup and beauty buys with you, along with my thoughts about them.   This month, by hauls post will feature […]

  It’s day two of the Blogger’s Beauty Brawl which means that it’s brow product day! I have been super excited about this, as I am a little bit addicted to brow products and couldn’t wait to test out and review a new one.   Let’s talk brow products…   Now, I must admit that […]

  Today is day one of the Blogger’s Beauty Brawl summer 2017 and I could not be more excited. I spent weeks sourcing my products – some of which are sponsored by brands and others that I treated myself to – hours taking my photos, and what seemed like days determining what to score each […]

  A couple of years ago, along with another beauty blogger, I co-founded the Blogger’s Beauty Brawl, which is a 10-day beauty review series that runs twice a year, once at Christmas and once in the summer. Zoe from Makeup Mad no longer gets involved in the Bloggers Beauty Brawl events, so I now run […]

  When I heard that Lush in Exeter was holding another blogger’s event, I was SO excited. Just before Christmas, I attended my first Lush event and absolutely loved it, so I was really pleased to be invited along to this year’s Lush Valentine’s Day event.   The first that I noticed when I arrived […]

  Ever since I heard about the customisable Makeup Obsession palettes I have been DYING to make my own. All the girls on the makeup group that I’m part of on Facebook have been going mad for them, so I knew that they must be good. (We makeup addicts don’t rave about any old product […]

  So, recently I’ve been feeling a little stressed out, as I’ve let my hectic lifestyle get on top of me. It’s ironic really because I always tell people how important taking care of themselves is, and here I am not taking my own advice.   Anyhow, as I’ve been so stressed out, I was […]

  Last Friday evening, I headed to Lush in Exeter to take part in their 2016 Christmas blogger event. I’d heard a lot about Lush’s blogger events and how fantastic they are, so I was incredibly excited to be invited along.   As I didn’t know any of the other bloggers who were going, I […]

  If you’re an eczema sufferer, then you’ll know that with the colder weather comes eczema outbreaks. At least, for me, that’s the case. I come from a family of eczema sufferers and have grown up with this itchy and irritating skin condition. Luckily for me, I’m not someone who has it constantly, but every […]

  Back in June, I tweeted Beauty UK because I loved the look of their products. To my joy, a couple of weeks ago they got in touch with me asking if I would like to review some bits and bobs. Being the makeup addict that I am, I jumped at the chance.     […]

  Let’s talk skin care…     A few days ago, the lovely PR team from Organic & Botanic, an all natural and organic beauty brand, got in touch to say that they would like to send me a little something to trial and test out. Being a skincare junkie, I jumped at the chance […]

  I’ve seen so many vloggers doing ‘my daily makeup routine’ videos and I’ve been quietly getting jealous. I love the idea of sharing what my daily makeup routine consists of. I would have made a video for you lovely lot but I’m really not the video type. I get nervous, speak too fast, and […]

  Two new highlighters to add to my collection…   You might remember a few weeks ago, as part of the Blogger’s Beauty Brawl, I reviewed an eyeshadow palette from Technic called the Mega Mattes Eyeshadow Palette. As well as sending me one of their palettes to test out and review, the lovely people at […]

  So I tried a new foundation…   A few weeks ago while shopping with my mama, I purchased the Clinique Chubby In The Nude Foundation Stick. I’d always used liquid or cream to powder foundations, I’d never tried a ‘stick foundation’ before, so I wasn’t too sure what to expect. However, being a makeup […]

  It’s day 10….   I’m so sad that it’s day 10 of the Blogger’s Beauty Brawl as I’ve had such a good time these past few days. I have loved every minute of this collaboration because it’s just been so much fun. I’ve really grown to love blogging every day, although after looking at […]
