Until a few months ago, primer was never part of my makeup routine. It was an unnecessary step, and I really didn’t believe in the benefits of it. Then I tried Kiehl’s Micro Blur Skin Perfector, and Benefit Porefessional and I was converted into a primer-loving obsessive. I picked up…

It’s no secret around here that my skincare routine hasn’t been fully up to scratch lately. Skipping moisturiser, not using a night cream, and up until a few weeks ago I’d never used a serum. You can imagine that Pestle & Mortar Pure Hyaluronic Serum was a very welcome addition when it…

January is the one month that I’m always glad to see over. It’s cold, dark, dreary, everyone’s broke and we’re all under pressure to reinvent ourselves and sign up for half-marathons. I’ll stick with any other month of the year, thank you very much. A six-week gap until payday meant that…

This week consisted of food and shopping – and lots of it. On Monday I went for dinner with my best friend Jen in Elephant and Castle in Temple Bar. If you’re from Dublin and have never been, go ASAP! The wings are to die for. I’m not much…

First things first *sings: I’m the realest*, can we just take a moment to admire the beauty of this Charlotte Tilbury lipstick? I can genuinely say that a lipstick is more beautiful than me – it’s stunning. If you’ve been around these parts a while, you’ll know that creamy, moisturising…
