What You've Probably Been Missing From Your Beauty Regime

The thought of putting oil on my face always made me a bit uncomfortable. I've never had particularly oily skin, but I definitely didn't want it to get worse.

GIVEAWAY: It's My Birthday!

So it's my birthday, and it was also my blog's first birthday a few weeks ago so it's double the celebration! It's gone so quick and I've definitely learnt a lot along the way. I want to share my celebrations with all of my lovely readers with a giveaway of some of my favourite products!

Benefit Brow Collection: Ready, Set, Brow & Gimme Brow

Fellow make-up addicts, (I'm assuming so because, well, you're reading a make-up post) I'm sure you have heard of Benefit's new Brow Collection. Well, you definitely should have if you take this stuff as seriously as the rest of us. Brows are in. Did you not get the memo?

Nyx Lipstick Lingerie: Baby Doll

I've heard about Nyx Lingerie for a while now, especially after joining a group on Facebook dedicated to make-up addicts.

To my pure joy, Boots opened a Nyx counter in their Cardiff store, and it's massive. I was so happy, seriously. Anyway, I picked up a Lipstick Lingerie in Baby Doll which is a nice nude colour and decided to test them out for myself.

L'Oreal Superliner Superstar: Is this the perfect eyeliner for beginners?

I know, I suck. I'm sorry for my leaf of absence, I've been a tad distracted lately! But a plus - I've bought a ton of new make-up. Not so much of a plus for my bank account - sorry not sorry.

So, on to why I've began my ramblings; I've been practicing hard on my winged eyeliner. I'm getting there, slowly, but surely. I invested in L'Oreal Paris Superliner Superstar Eye Liner in black. I thought this "looks pretty simple", and it has an amazing shape pen nib so thought it would be perfect for beginners to try and perfect that winged cat eye look. It was also only £6.99, so definitely worth a go, right?

 

My thoughts worked out exactly, and it was definitely an easy application. 

However...

Topshop Highligher: Crescent Moon

As you probably know highlighters are the new must have beauty product. I recently went to a Topshop blogging event for Ivy Park, and before we got round to checking out the clothes, we took a look at their makeup range. I was definitely surprised at what they had on offer, and they seemed really good! So, I went and bought one of their highlights in Crescent Moon for a bargain price of £10.

Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams - Tokyo & London

It's been a while since I've wanted to try Nyx Cosmetics. Sadly, it hasn't yet hit South Wales (Boots, May 18th I'm coming for ya), but upon my recent visit to London, I obviously had to hit Selfridge's to try them out for myself. After all, I'd heard such amazing things about the quality and value for money on all of their products.

The Ultimate Pamper Product: Timeless Truth's Sheet Mask

If you're a follower of my blog you'll remember when I tried the new trend on the market - sheet masks. I've been lucky enough to try Timeless Truth's Eye Masks and When's Full Face Sheet Mask. I honestly loved them both (the eye mask was by far my favourite as I always have bags under my eyes, so was a perfect fit for me). 

HD Brows In a Bottle

If you're a newbie to the brow game, or don't have a spare 30 minutes to spend on your brows each day (who does?), Maybelline may have just answered your prayers. 

8 Lazy Girl Beauty Hacks

I'm a busy girl, and sometimes a good beauty hack is just what I need to make sure I can sleep in as much as possible and spend the day not looking like I only took the 15 minutes to get ready that I actually did (although sometimes, this definitely shines through). 

What are these 'hacks' I hear you cry? Well, you lucky bunch, I divulge;

How To Keep Bleached Hair Hydrated

My hair has been through every colour in the rainbow, and then some. Luckily, I have very strong, thick hair. However, eventually, bleach definitely takes a toll regardless of the state of your natural hair. My hair just wasn't in the condition I was used to and about 6 months ago, I knew I needed to change something in my routine, to nurse it back to health and its full potential.
