My (Never Gonna Happen!) Christmas Wishlist.

I quite literally am always lusting over something and the thought of Christmas sends my brain into overdrive. My brain also seems to have ratherrr expensive taste, which sadly doesn't correspond with the reality of my bank account. So, instead of showing you the delightful things I've bought, I am instead showing you a wishlist of items that I...

Review: Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Apocoliptic

The Rimmel Apocalips have been around for quite a while now, and although I have had two in my lip collection I've always struggled to wear them. The formula is like a lip gloss on application but dries matte giving it a lipstick-style finish. They are so so pigmented, which is part of the reason I struggled to wear it initially. Its definitely...

DIY Christmas: Personalised Map Artwork

Firstly, I do apologise for the awful quality of this photo!! I actually made this present last Christmas and this was the only photo I could find of it.

Review: TIGI S-Factor Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner (BEST set ever.)

This is my favourite shampoo and conditioner set EVER. Seriously. My only wish is that I'd found it sooner! I'd never heard of TIGI's S-Factor range until I started reading a few blogs last year, since then I've begun a minor (read as: major) obsession with the range. The bottles pictured above are actually my second purchase, as I quite literally...

Review: Topshop Blush in Primetime

After 3-4 hours of wearing Primetime  Considering Topshop is primarily a highstreet clothes shop I really think they excel in their make-up collection. Their lipsticks and nail polishes are such great quality and now I've delved into the world of their blushes I can safely say that it'll be a permanent fixture in my make-up bag. I...

DIY Christmas: Christmas Pudding Bauble

Me and my best friend have our own Christmas tradition that we've kept up for a few years now. We exchange a Christmas decoration and this year I decided to make mine from scratch! I did actually make the decoration last year too, but it was nothing on the scale of this DIY. I'm so happy with how it turned out, so I thought I'd share the process...

Review: Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick in 16

About a month ago when visiting my friend Charlotte in Hull I made a cheeky lipstick purchase in Boots! Rimmel really are producing great lip products at the moment and the Kate Moss collection has some amazing lipsticks. I'd never really heard anything about number 16 (I so wish they had real names!) in the collection but I was on the...

As it was Halloween this week I thought I'd share with you a super tasty Pumpkin Soup recipe that me and my boyfriend made. As well as a tasty way to use the leftover pumpkin seeds!
