Beauty | What’s In My Makeup Bag

In all of my time blogging, I can’t believe that I’ve never done a “What’s In My Makeup Bag” post. My everyday makeup bag (featured in the photo above) is filled with those products that I consider to be the 'essentials', since I use them (pretty much) on a daily basis. The only cosmetics that …

Beauty | Drugstore Make-Up Haul

Over the weekend I had a 'new year' replenish of make-up products, which included stocking up on some regulars, as well as picking up a few new items to try out over the coming months. I bought everything from Superdrug, which has quickly become one of my favourite stores for high-street beauty products because it …

Beauty | Make-Up Haul & Mini Reviews

Hi everyone! I'm back - and I suppose after an almost 4 week break from blogging, I have some explaining to do! Well... I've just spent the last 3 weeks on a family vacation in Orlando, Florida!

We are all so connected but what does …

May 2015 | Favourite Products

Another month ticked off this years calendar! The highlights of May included my brothers 30th birthday celebrations, the transition from one career path to another, 2 x long bank holiday weekends and snippets of sunshine, though I'm hoping that those snippets will become permanent throughout June. As for products that I used throughout May, these were some of …

Beauty | FOTD: Smokey Eye & Cranberry Lip

As a nice follow on from yesterday's blog post about gratitude and memories... I really enjoyed a lovely meal at one of my favourite restaurants, Chiquito's, at the weekend. It's a Mexican restaurant with a menu that's overflowing with delicious food and a great atmosphere, which is a pretty lethal combination. Anyway, I thought that this was …
