I know empties posts are on everyone-and-their-granny’s blogs, but they’re one of my favourite to read and I love seeing the products people have used up. It takes a lot for me to repurchase the exact same product as there are so many options on the market, so I thought I’d…

Primers were never really a crucial part of my makeup routine. I’d throw one on if I remembered, and only for special occasions. But after hearing all of the hype surrounding Benefit’s Porefessional Primer, I had to give it a try. First of all, I was surprised by the size of the tube.…

Although I have extensions which thicken my hair, my natural hair usually lies flat at the root and I find it impossible to add volume no matter what I do. I’ve tried blow drying it upside down, volumising powders, volumising shampoos, but nothing has worked as well as this VO5…

Oh MAC, how I love you. MAC was the first high-end makeup brand I tried, and it’s the first place I go whenever I’m looking to buy new high-end makeup. I’ve loved every product I’ve picked up from MAC, so it was pretty hard to pick out just 10 products…

They say that February goes by quickly, but boy I didn’t think it would go by that fast. I can’t believe that tomorrow it will be March – I haven’t even adjusted to the fact that it’s 2014 yet, I’m still at 2011 in my head! Anyway, another month means more monthly favourites, so…

Isn’t it beautiful? I’ve been trying to expand on my drugstore beauty brands recently, and while Revlon is my favourite for lip products, I’d never really tried any of their mascaras, foundations or in this case, bronzers. The Revlon Highlighting Palette was a pretty good place to start, I think.…

As one of my New Year’s resolutions was to grow my nails, I realised that five weeks into 2014 it wasn’t going so well. My nails were weak, chipped and short. And don’t get me started on my cuticles. I decided that the only way they would grow was if…
