Warm Winter Makeup Tutorial Featuring Urban Decay's Naked Heat Palette

In the winter I tend to wear more makeup. I think it’s because in the cooler months my makeup stays on better and my skin is actually in a better mood than it is in the summer. Therefore, I have definitely been favouring a fuller face of makeup lately. For my complexion, I have always adored browns and oranges - I think they balance my skin tone out well whilst still making my eyes pop. So, with my new Naked Heat palette in hand I decided to make a warm and shimmery look to rock all throughout the winter months. If you want to know how I completed my look exactly, keep on reading.

First Impressions: Makeup Revolution Mermaids Forever Eyeshadow Palette

I actually got this Makeup Revolution (mermaids forever) palette for my birthday, way back in Feburary, so I have been trialling this particular palette for a good four months almost. Like most Makeup Revolution eyeshadow palettes, this one has a lovely array of different shades which I have used over the last few months to create many different looks.

First Impressions: Rimmel London Brow Eyebrow Definer Pencil

Although I have a few makeup staples that I just can't seem to replace, there are a few essentials I like to switch up every now and again, especially when there is something new on the market. Enter the Rimmel London brow this way eyebrow definer pencil. I had seen this a few times in my local Boots, as well as online featured on a few blogger's Instagrams and YouTube channels. Obviously peer pressure set in and I had to try it out for myself.

Switching Up Your Style And Self-Care For Summer 2019**

Each year, it’s fun to switch up our styles. Of course, you might have more fundamental wardrobe staples that seem to last for years, and that can help build a theme your outfits. But switching up your style for the rapid arrival of summer this year can help you give each year a novel flair, something to help remember the period by. This also helps you feel more comfortable and confident in your skin, as once again you gain another year to express your most colourful and summer care-free self.

First Impressions: Kat Von D Best Of Nudes Lipstick Set

I am a big believer in trying out new beauty products, especially make-up. That’s why I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to write about my new Kat Von D lipstick set that I received as a gift from my parents for Christmas. Shockingly, I have never owned any Kat Von D beauty products before, so needless to say I was intrigued to find out how they could change up my day-to-day make-up looks.

New Hair Resolutions, Hair Care Tips For Thin Flat Hair

I am not really one for new year resolutions, however I do always have some things in mind that I want to work on for myself. This year I want to focus more on getting my hair healthy.

The Skincare Tips That Changed My Life

Skincare can be tricky. It's almost like a journey and a process of trial and error. A few years ago one product may have done wonders but now it doesn't even begin to make a difference. Similarly you may want to try out a new product and find that it gives you a bad reaction but on your friend who has similar skin to you it seems to work just fine. I know the drama.

First Impressions: Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner*

Put your hand up if you love first impressions posts! *Raises hand*. First impressions has always been a regular feature on my blog so when I got the opportunity to try out Marc Jacobs Beauty's Highliner I couldn't wait to start writing. If you knew me about six years ago then you would know that I was absolutly obsessed with eyeliner - particularly brightly coloured ones. So you can imagine my excitement when I saw the swatches of these liners!

Why I Probably Won't Attend Beautycon London Again

I am usually a big fan of beauty events... In fact, I'd even go as far to say that I love attending them. I like getting to know new beauty brands, learn the tricks of the trade and of course meet other make-up, skincare and hair care enthusiasts. However as you can probably tell from the title I am unfortunately not writing to tell you about one of my favourite events of the year.

Late Autumn Beauty Wishlist

I haven't done a beauty wishlist post in such a long time. Mainly because I don't want to look around the shops too much and spend a whole load of money. And also because on the lead up to Christmas, I want to save as much money as possible so I can get all of the gifts I need. However, that's obviously not going to stop me from creating my end of autumn beauty wishlist.
