Vince Camuto Fiori EDP

I think Vince Camuto is mostly famous for his stunning collection of shoes & handbags. But it turns out he also has a fragrance line that is exclusive to Debenhams.

NEW Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette & Hangover Face Primer

Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Palette and Hangover Face Primer

Too Faced is a brand I've always admired. Their products are so pretty and forever raved about in the beauty community. So I'm very happy for the opportunity to review the NEW Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons Eyeshadow Palette and the Too Faced Hangover Face Primer.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Self Made Palette

Eyeshadow is one of my biggest weaknesses when it comes to makeup. Trust me, I probably have most colours I'll ever need. Yet, I keep adding to my collection (#sorrynotsorry). My latest acquisition is the beautiful Anastasia Beverly Hills Self Made Palette.

My Christmas Wishlist | 2015

Christmas is possibly my favourite time of the year. To me this is mainly a special time to share love with others, cherish family, friends and life in general. But I have to say I also love the festive spirit, the music, decorations and gifts, of course. These are all part of the fun and the joy of the Season. My family has the tradition of exchanging present ideas to help "Santa's Elves" (as we joke) do their Christmas shopping. :) I believe I was a very good girl this year so here's a Christmas Wishlist with a few items I'd be happy to find under the Christmas tree.

My Top 5 Confidence Boosting Beauty Products

I think feeling confident is essential to our happiness. We all have days when we need a bit of a pick me up, whether it's because we have been poorly with a cold or just want to feel more special for a night out. Here are my Top 5 Confidence Boosting Beauty Products.

H&M Beauty | Haul & First Impressions

I had tried H&M Beauty products before and wasn't too impressed. But then I saw they completely revamped their beauty line, from packaging to range of products available and formula. I had to see it for myself so here is my haul and first impressions. :)

Urban Decay Revolution High Color Lipgloss

I'm not much of a lipgloss kinda girl but when it comes to Urban Decay Revolution High Color Lipgloss I'm all in. I recently picked up the shade Kinky and I love it. It's the perfect everyday nude.

Review + FOTD | Stila In The Moment Eyeshadow Palette

I found the stunning Stila In The Moment Eyeshadow Palette in one of my frequent trips to my local TKMaxx. I had never tried anything from Stila before but couldn't resist the beautiful mixture of purples and neutral colours. Not to mention the reduced price (from £25 to only £9.99). Bargain, right?

NEW bareMinerals The Royal Court Palette (Christmas Edition)

Last month I attended the bareMinerals A Bare Christmas Story Party (#BareStory) in Central London. Such a lovely event! I got to meet with some of my blogger friends and I also had a great time getting to see bareMinerals new releases and sets for Christmas. Some beautiful products. And we were all lucky enough to leave the event with the NEW bareMinerals The Royal Court Palette.

Diorshow Black Out Spectacular Volume Mascara

I've recently partnered with Cohorted to give away the Diorshow Black Out Spectacular Volume Mascara. And so I thought I'd share with you my thoughts on this beautiful high end product.

Antipodes Skincare Limited Edition Minis

Antipodes moisture boost and anti-aging minis review

Trying Antipodes Moisture Boost Minis &
Antipodes Anti Ageing Minis

I've wanted to try the skincare products from Antipodes for a very long time but never got round to actually buying it. But then I saw the Antipodes Moisture Boost Minis Kit & the Antipodes Anti Ageing Minis Kit.

MAC Tan Pigment

MAC Tan Pigment - Review and Swatches

I'm a huge eyeshadow lover but if there's one thing I lack in my collection is pigments. Not sure why but they have never entered my list of beauty priorities. That was until I saw some tutorials and swatched MAC Tan Pigment in store.

NEW Rimmel Lip Products

Rimmel The Only 1 Lipstick and Exaggerate Lip Liners

Rimmel London The Only 1 Lipsticks and Exaggerate Lip Liners (new shades)

I'm a big fan of Rimmel's lip products, so I was extremely excited to see they had released a new lipstick line and also added more shades to the Exaggerate Lip Liners, which are my favourites from the drugstore.

Diorshow Mascara GIVEAWAY with Cohorted
(CLOSED)

I am very excited as I have partnered with Cohorted to bring you this amazing Diorshow Black Out Spectacular Volume Mascara GIVEAWAY. :)

Real Techniques Sculpting Set

I bought the Real Techniques Sculpting Set on a Superdrug sale a little while ago and I love it. It's not by any means a complete set or something I'd recommend to someone who's just starting their brush collection and want to buy their first set. However, this has offered me 3 great brushes to complement my existent collection, as I still didn't have anything quite like these.

Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm

Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm is one of the newest addition to my skincare routine. I know I'm late to the party but I can finally say I understand the hype around this product.

Naked Smoky Palette | Daytime Look

Naked smoky eyeshadow palette daytime look

I've recently purchased the Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette (review and swatches here) and fell in love with it. That palette is simply beautiful and it's been all I wear now and I've even taken it on holiday with me last week. I love the shades and looks I can create with this palette but there's one particular look that I really like for daytime and I thought I'd show you everything I wear to achieve it.

NEW | BOSS Women Runway Edition

Boss Women EDP Runway Edition Jour Ma Vie Nuit

London Fashion Week #LFW is here and I could not go by it without mentioning the latest BOSS Women Runway Edition*, launched last month. Boss is renowned for its fashion but also for its fragrances. And now the two things have been brought together with this collection, that is all about 3 different statements, looks and fragrances. Each perfume features a fashion sketch: the day dress, the tuxedo and the evening gown. The idea is that the scents reflect these tailored looks.

Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerise Cream Eyeshadow

Since buying my Dolce Vita palette last year I've become a massive fan of Charlotte Tilbury and have now tried a few of her products, the latest being the NEW Charlotte Tilbury Eyes to Mesmerise Cream Eyeshadow in Marie Antoniette.

#BloggersFestival

Hi everyone! I thought I'd share some highlights of possibly the best event I've been to, so far. #BloggersFestival is organised by the lovely blogger Scarlett Dixon (from Scarlett London). The venue was the very sophisticated Conrad Hotel, in Central London, by St James' Park. Beautiful place and there were around 200+ bloggers attending. So as you can imagine, the atmosphere was very fun and vibrant.

Tanya Burr Cosmetics | Haul & First Impressions

I have followed Tanya Burr on YouTube for a couple years now and my favourite videos from her are the makeup tutorials. So when I saw she had revamped her packaging and added more products to her beauty line, I thought I'd try some of them and share my thoughts with you.

Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette | Review & Swatches

urban decay naked smoky eyeshadow palette

Eyeshadows and lipsticks are my biggest beauty obsession. Every new launch is a big temptation and the latest release to lure me into splurging was the URBAN DECAY NAKED SMOKY PALETTE.

GLAMGLOW THIRSTYMUD Hydrating Mask

GLAMGLOW THIRSTYMUD was one of my birthday presents and considering I have slightly dry skin, you may imagine my excitement to give this a try. Not to mention I am a big fan of Glamglow masks, in general.

Realash Eyelash Enhancer - 1 Month Update

So 5 weeks have passed since my 1st post on the Realash Eyelash Enhancer* and it's time for me to give you a little update and thoughts on this product.

REVIEW | Sunday Riley Start Over Eye Cream

I was lucky enough to win a Twitter Giveaway promoted by Vivianna Does Makeup and Space NK and received a massive box full of amazing goodies. Among them was this Sunday Riley Start Over Active Eye Cream. This is a brand I have always wanted to try but their products are very pricey so I hadn't had the courage to splurge yet.
