Lush Pregnancy Products - My Recommendations

My name is Lisa, and I am a Lush addict. Get me Lush products for any occasion and I am a happy girl. Most of the products I've tried, I have loved, and you can't have a bath without a bath bomb or bubble bar from the brand. So when I got pregnant, I was keen to figure out what products would be ideal and help in certain pregnancy situations.

How to: Combat and Manage your Dark Circles

When I asked my friends what sort of content they'd like to see over May Madness, I had quite a few requests to talk about how to cover up dark circles. It's not a huge surprise seeing as they have young babies and toddlers! It's something I've also struggled with lately (thank you uncomfortable sleepless nights), so I decided it was time to pop on my testing and research hat and find the best ways to combat these dark circles and share my own tips and experiences.

Keeping my Hair Healthy in Lockdown

A major first world problem I'm seeing mentioned over and over again on my socials is the inability to go and get our hair done. Don't get me wrong - I am 100% in the same boat. However, I wanted to share a haircare range I've been obsessed with lately and that's made the distance between me and my hairdresser that little bit easier.

THE BEAUTY DIARIES: My Holiday Essentials

Be prepared for a few holiday-themed posts coming your way over the next few weeks... And here is a beauty-themed extravaganza. I feel like everyone has the must-have products that they can't travel without, whether it's long haul plane essentials, or hot weather make up musts. So here's some of mine...

ZoellaxColourpop Collab: My Top 3 Picks

 

 

Whenever a big collab, or collection comes out there's always a rush of people wanting to try absolutely everything, or wanting to know exactly what's worth the hype. The truth is, you're not going to get a true reflection on what's worth it straight away. However, I'm exactly the same - somehow I ended up buying the entire collection from Zoella's recent collab with Colourpop, but I have to say... Not all products were worth the rush.

My Top 5 High End Products of 2018

Looking back at all the products I've loved this year, most of them have been in the affordable range. Thankfully because I can't always justify spending out on pricey make up products. However, there's definitely some pieces I've fallen for this year that fall into the higher spend category, and are ones I believe are worth the price tag.

My Top 5 Affordable Products of 2018

2018 was a year I really got back into make up, and really started to play around a lot more and experiment more with my look and eye looks in particular. However, there were definitely some stand out products for me - ones I completely fell in love with and can't imagine going into 2019 without. so get ready for the first in my series of top 2018 products.

The Body Shop Pumpkin Vanilla - What Autumn Would Smell Like

Body care is something that definitely isn't a priority for me. It never has been and I think it has more to do with laziness than anything else. So when I find a collection or a product that sends me head over heels, I feel like I have to rave about it. If I find something that makes me want to sit there and put body butter all over me, than I know it's something special.

ColourPop x KathleenLights Zodiac Collection

For the longest time I've wanted to try products from ColourPop. I always see American/Canadian bloggers raving about the brand and their products, but I've always gotten a bit overwhelmed by how much I want to order from them. So when Kathleen Lights bought out a collab with them all around the Zodiac, I knew this was the perfect opportunity to finally place an order.

Top 5, under £5

Everyone loves a good make up bargain right? Especially me.. and especially at this time of the year as 90% of my money is going on birthdays and Christmas presents. So I thought it'd be a good time to pop together my top 10 under £10, and also my top 5 under £5 make up products.

The Unicorn Candy Collection

Rewind five years and there wasn't even a unicorn emoji, now there's unicorn themed things everywhere. One of my besties has a unicorn phone case with glitter, and on many occasions I have just sat playing with the glitter and unicorns. Like a totally normal human being does. The beauty industry is now different.

Urban Decay's "Beached" Eyeshadow Palette

Everybody loves a taste of summer - am I wrong? I have to admit, it's one of my favourite times of the year for new make up and beauty releases. There's something about summer packaging and shades that just makes me feel all warm and glowy inside. I also feel with summer you can get away with experimenting with different colours more than any other time of the year, which is why I was so please when Urban Decay bought out their new "Beached" collection, which included an eyeshadow palette with turquoise in it. Yes, turquoise.

My Top 3: Glossier Make Up

Have you heard of Glossier? No? Have you been living under a rock? Glossier is quite possibly one of the most hyped up brands I've come across since I started blogging, and honestly I was pulled into the hype. So much so that I have actually tried almost every single product from their make up range. I'm sorry bank balance, I truly am. But - is the hype justified?

L'Oreal Infallible Pro Glow Foundation - Worth the hype?

I always get really excited when I find a good foundation, one that I fall in love with. But I'm also always super cautious. A lot of drugstore foundations have a tendency to break me out, and I hate the idea of spending out on a high end foundation if it's not right for me. Therefore I rely really heavily on reviews of bloggers/YT that I trust and respect.

The Lip Series: My Winter Lips on Rotation

I feel like I might possibly love winter, for the simple fact that I love the lip colours you can get away with at this time of year. Deep tones, rich shades and cool tones. It's basically my favourite time of the year for lipsticks.

Celebrate Valentines with Baylis & Harding

 

I know, some people hate it, some people love it. It's basically the marmite of "holidays" across the globe. Love it or hate it, there are some great gift sets available at this time of the year - whether you're buying them for a loved one, or just yourself. And Baylis and Harding are always top of that list for gifts.

The £10 Eyeshadow Palette - Worth the hype

Finding an eyeshadow palette that does everything you want it to do is always cause for celebration. Or is that just me? Well when you find one that seems to have it all for only £10 - then would you celebrate? Thought so.

Real Techniques PowderBleu Brushes

I love make up, and I love navy blue. I also love Real Techniques make up brushes. So when they bought out their Powder Bleu brush range I knew I had to somehow find a way to add it into my collection. Thankfully I have very generous in-laws who bought me four of the brushes over my birthday and Christmas, so now I'm the proud owner of most of the set. So was it worth it?

Blogmas #1: Tanya Burr 12 Sweet Days Advert Calendar Review

Welcome to the first day of Blogmas! Yes, it's the first of December which means the start of Christmas themed blog posts and videos over the next twenty four days. You lucky folks! For day one I thought it would be apt to review a beauty advert calendar - it is December 1st after all. Over on my channel today you can see me opening the Tanya Burr 12 Sweet Day's Advent calendar, so you get all my first reactions, and over here - you get to read my review on each of the products.

Testing: Laura Mercier Flawless Fusion Ultra-Longwear Foundation

I'm always trying to find the absolute perfect base for my make up. I find if you can't get the base right, then you have to work twice as hard to get the rest of your face looking how you want. So when I hear rave reviews about a foundation, that seemingly ticks all the boxes on my foundation wishlist, it takes a bulldozer to stop me trying it. Enter, Laura Mercier's newest base addition.
