First Impressions: Bleach London Purple Shampoo and Conditioner Review*

Since 2020 haircare has become a big focus for me. Especially now as my hair is finally back to looking healthy after years of damaging it through dyes, straighteners and curlers. For a bit of context, I have been dying my hair in some form or another since the very young age of 10! Yes, you heard that right, I was just 10 years old when I got my first set of highlights. On top of this I also began straightening my naturally curly hair around the same time. For some reason at 10 years old I already hated my hair - but that’s another story.

First Impressions: Urban Decay Wild West Palette Review

It’s no secret that I have always loved Urban Decay. I remember pawing through the Boots catalogue as a teenager and circling some Urban Decay neon coloured eyeliners. I would then spend hours planning out the looks I could create with them on scraps of paper.

Spring 2020 Stitch Fix Fashion Unboxing And Review

Stitch Fix is basically a fashion subscription box which gets delivered straight to your door. Each box contains five different pieces along with styling cards for each garment to give you some inspiration. You can choose how often you want your box delivered to you - bi-weekly, monthly or quarterly. Since this was my first time trying out this service I decided to go with the quarterly option.

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.

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!

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.

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.

First Impressions: Makeup Revolution Ultra Cream Contour Palette

Is everyone still feeling the contouring trend? I know I am. Although I am usually a powder kind of gal I thought this month I'd go ahead and buy a cream contour palette. I know a few people that use them and love them however I was always worried about the blending aspect. How will I get it to look natural? Well I'm pleased to say that with the Makeup Revolution ultra cream contour palette I think I've found a blend-able champion.

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 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.

Eylure Dybrow Brow Kit Review

Recently I dyed my hair black... However, when I first dyed it, I didn't even think about dying my eyebrows. I already have dark hair so I thought it would be okay to go au natural for a while. But as time went on I realised I didn't feel complete without filling in my eyebrows. So, I thought I'd finally bite the bullet and make my eyebrows just as dark as my hair.
