Blogger mail: The good, the bad and the ugly

As a blogger, I am fortunate enough to try out a lot of new products every month. Somethings I love, some a bit meh and others are just not great at all. With so much product coming through the door, I don’t always find the time to write individual blog posts reviewing everything I get. In fact at the moment I am finding it hard to get more than one post a week up! So to try and tell you about as much new makeup bits as possible, I have decided to write a new monthly series. Each month, I am going to write a post telling you about a number…

Save or Splurge: The Illuminating bases

At this time of year, I am all about trying to achieve the perfect glowing skin. When we enter the Spring time, we tend to leave behind the heavily made up skin and lean towards a lighter more glowing look.Rather than constantly changing up our foundation, one way of helping to achieve a more glowing look is with an illuminating base. An illuminating base is basically a primer or base that has illuminating qualities to it that will help your skin achieve a little more radiance or dare I say a glow from within look. Over the past few weeks and months I have been trailing a number of these bases…

CHARLOTTE TILBURY: MUST-HAVES, MAYBES AND MISSES

If this is your first time to encounter Sharon’s blog Behind Green Eyes, you have seriously been missing out. I love Sharon’s blog. She is beyond honest and absolutely hilarious. In fact she is hands down my favourite snap chatter. Her snaps crack me up on a regular basis. When I have a long list of snaps to view, hand on heart Sharon’s are the first ones that I watch. I have even been caught in public crying laughing at some of her snaps. She’s brilliant. Sharon also has fantastically expensive taste in makeup, while at the same time she mixes it up with more budget brands. It blows my…

Disappointing Products

At the beginning of the year, I posted a video on products that left me feeling a little on the disappointed side. So many of you loved that video and have requested an updated version of it. Over the past few months I have compiled a list of products that just didn’t do it for me and some that left me feeling very hard done by after parting with my hard earned cash and I thought it only fair that I should share these products with you guys. With all the products that I try out every week there are bound to be a few that leave me wanting more.…

Too Faced Melted Liquified long wear lipstick – melted violet

I tip my hat to the PR gurus behind the Too Faced Melted lipsticks, as at the start of the summer my timeline was flooded with reviews of these lipsticks. These were hailed as the new must have lip product. Every single person was raving about them and I had a feeling that my life wouldn’t be complete without at least one of them my life. These lipsticks are said to give you the best of a lipstick and lip gloss in one product. Seriously this had my name written all over it. Not only that, but the colours in this range are to die for. They are vibrant and…

Products that made me go “meh”

While I have written the odd scathing post on the blog, for the most part I write about things I like or love. It’s much easier to write a glowing post then to write about things that just leaving you feeling neither love nor hate. With a beauty addition like mine, I try out so many new things, that I am bound to come across a few that left me feeling a little meh. I saw this tag on a few other blogs and new I just had to do one myself Chanel Le Vernis Nail colour This might not be a popular one, but to me these nail varnishes…

Crown Brush 10 colour concealer palette

The Crown Brush palette has quickly become a firm favourite for many makeup lovers. I was so excited to get my hands on this palette as it was never in stock. I am a huge fan of contouring and I really thought this was the product for me. I was so wrong. The palette contains 10 different colour concealers, ranging from light to very dark. The lightest shade is not very light and if you are a fair skinned lady, this is going to be too dark for you. The darkest shade hasn’t even been touched in my palette. I found that each of the colours were very heavy on…
