First Impressions: Joan Collins First Base Foundation*

It's no secret that I'm not a foundation type of girl... Well I haven't been for around five years. My main reason is because I can never find one that is the correct shade for my skin or leaves my skin looking flawless. I've tried cheap ones, expensive ones, mousse ones and liquid ones - nothing just ever gives me the finish I like. Frequent reminders of my fifteen year old gothic phase haunt my foundation memories and the walls of my parent's house. So I came to the conclusion that I should just never wear it.

Full Faced Makeup Hacks For Lazy Girls With Seventeen*

DId you know that I'm a bit of a lazy girl? Well I'd actually rather say "low-maintenance". Don't get me wrong I love to rock the full face makeup look but let's be honest I don't have three hours to put it all together. That's why I decided to team up with Seventeen and 11 other beauty bloggers to bring you a few of my favourite makeup hacks as a lazy girl.

KISS Gel Fantasy False Nail Review*

I've tried the KISS gel fantasy nails before, however recently I got to attend the KISS lash party where I was gifted an amazing goodie bag full of false nails and lashes! As you can probably guess all of the nails were absolutly gorgeous. So gorgeous in fact that I had to show you my favourite set.

Pixie Lott X KISS Cosmetics Party*

I've been up to some really exciting stuff lately... I'm sorry to brag - but I think I went to one of the coolest PR events ever last week. If you've been reading my blog for a while now you probably know about my relationship with KISS cosmetics and how every so often I do a little review or giveaway. Well, because of this I got to attend their Pixie Lott X Kiss Cosmetics PR party.

First Impressions: Joan Collins Paparazzi Compact Duo*

What girl doesn't love a good compact set? I don't know about you but I find compact sets so helpful. Not only because they fit neatly into my on-the-go makeup bag but I also have two staple products that are only taking up the size of one. I haven't used that many compact duos in the past however after trying out the Joan Collins lipsticks I couldn't say no to another one paired with a powder (which I haven't even tried out yet).

First Impressions: Joan Collins Divine Lips Lipsticks*

Where would a girl be without a trusty lipstick or two? Having a range of lipsticks in different finishes and shades really allows you to create as many different looks as your heart desires. Lipsticks can either really define your look and make it what it is or just add a subtle finishing touch that is the cherry on top of your makeup.

Johnson and Johnson Summer Beauty Event*

I haven't been to a beauty event in a while... In fact the last one I went to was the Juvadent beauty event in January so when Johnson and Johnson invited me to their summer beauty event I couldn't say no. For those of you who have been living under a rock for the past century Johnson and Johnson are pretty much the kings of the pharmaceutical and skincare industry who have brought us brands like Neutrogena, Piz Buin and Compeed.

Popcorn and Prosecco Mean Girls Screening*

My weekend was so fetch... Because I was invited a a pop-up cinema Mean Girls screening hosted by Popcorn and Prosecco at the PRZYM nightclub in Watford, which is on the outskirts of North West London. When I first received the invite invite I was super excited because let's face it, what twenty-something female doesn't love Mean Girls?

First Impressions: Joan Collins Class Act Mascara*

Where would a lady be without a trusty mascara? Well for starters her eyes would appear smaller, her lashes would be non-existent and her make-up collection would have a very big mascara shaped hole in it. So all-in-all, she'd be in a pretty sad place. It's no secret that I am a sucker for a good mascara. That's why I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try out the Joan Collin's Class Act mascara.

KISS Salon Acrylic False French Nails Review*

It's no secret that I love KISS false nails... I was first introduced to KISS in the middle of last year when I was sent some gel fantasy false nails. Then from there, I went to a KISS lashes and nails party and now here I am a self-confessed false nail addict. Anyway, as Valentine's day is coming up I was kindly sent some KISS salon acrylic false nails* in a pretty, chic french tipped design.

Juvadent Beauty Event with LDN Meet-Up*

Who doesn't love a good old-fashioned blogger event? Attending events has always been something I have been wary of. If you've seen my overcoming shyness video you'll probably get the gist of why. Anyway last year, I started making a more concerted effort to attend events and meet new people (internal screaming). Anyway, it's actually starting to become something I really enjoy.

Warming Up Winter With White To Brown Self-Tan*

This winter is proving to be a cold one! So when I was invited to try out White To Brown's self-tanner to sprinkle a little bit of summer into my life I couldn't resist. I'm no stranger to fake tan, having been a loyal tanner to St.Tropez for a few summers. However with my old favourite coming in at almost £30 a bottle, I couldn't turn down trying out White to Brown's much more modest £15 alternative.
