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.

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.

Books | Honeymoon Reading List

One of the things I love about going on holiday is having the time to do nothing else but get completely absorbed into a new book. My ideal holiday would be a sun lounger by a pool, or beach (I'm not fussy), with my kindle and a cocktail. So when we went to Mexico for our honeymoon I was sure to put together a Honeymoon collection on my Kindle to work my way through.

The Review | Nuxe Creme Prodigieuse DD Creme

I'm always a bit sceptical of alphabet creams - BB, CC, now DD? Is there an EE yet that I just haven't seen? Anyway, while I was in France this summer I wanted to try some Nuxe products and decided to pick up their new DD cream. But what does a DD cream actually do?

The Review | Cosmopolitan's Debut Fragrance

Something very exciting came through my door the other day. When I was asked to review a fragrance I was like sure, why not. Then when I found out it was Cosmopolitans debut fragrance I got really quite excited. I do love a good copy of Cosmo, so the idea of epitomising the cosmo woman into a scent? Sounds like a plan to me.

The Review | Cocktail Bling

It's been a good while since I've done a proper nail varnish review. I've been very remiss with my nails lately, I've just been a bit too busy really to do much with them. However, I sat myself down the  other day and fell back in love with a specific colour that I think is ideal moving into autumn.

The Review | Caudalie Beauty Elixir

I know, I am so behind the curve on this product. Like four years behind? Probably, something like that. Even now, I'm only on the travel sized version. But the point is, I finally crumbled at a SpaceNK counter and added it to my bag, which means I finally got to find out if it's worth all the hype.

The Review | Bourjois Aqua Blush

I'm really into blushes at the moment, I'm not sure HOW it suddenly happened. One minute I really wasn't bothered, and then suddenly BAM - give me all the blushes in the world. Oh yeah, hello blushes. For me summer blushes are all about creams, so when Bourjois bought out these little beauties I was right there.

The Review | Joan Collins "I Am Woman"

I'm going to be the first to hold up my hands and say I am not an expert in fragrances, however, I do have a few choice favourites and I can definitely appreciate a great little find. I have some I use for summer, and some for winter, and the winter ones are where I'm lacking so I was really happy when this beauty fell in my lap. 

The Review | Laura Mercier Lip Parfait Creamy Colourbalm

I'm going to admit that I've never really explored much in Laura Mercier, just the Oil-Free Tinted Moisturiser. However, when I went to repurchase said base I came across something new from Laura Mercier that I just had to try it. I do love me a good new lip product, and this one ticked all the right boxes for a gorgeous new holiday lipstick.

The Review | L'Oreal Infallible Matte Foundation

Finding the perfect base is always difficult, especially one from the cheaper end of the scale. Harder than that is finding the perfect colour match - but that's a tale for another day. Finding a base that ticks all your boxes is a great day, and this particular foundation seems to be having a major moment right now, but does it tick those boxes?

The Review | The Perfect Range for Oily Skin

Oily skin is something I've always struggled with, especially when it starts getting warmer and well, just sweatier. Those date nights when you want to look amazing? Yeah, forget that - hello oily/skinny mess! However, I've been using a skincare range lately that I've been loving in this heat lately. And guess what, it's ever so affordable...

The Review | Matching Lips to Nails #2

About two years ago I did a post all about matching my lips to my nails, I used a raspberry pink for both and I loved the look, hello colour. Summer has come back around so I thought I'd do the same, especially as these pretty beauties not only match, but they're the same colour...

The Review | Create A Summer Cheek with Topshop

For me my cheek make up always changes with the weather. When it gets colder my blushes get more berry-toned, highlighter gets forgotten and bronzer is only for contouring. However, now it's bloody hot again in the UK I've changed it up again, and Topshop make up is a big big hit this year.

The Review | Baylis & Harding Garden House Collection

You know when you catch a whiff of a scent and you just know it's going to be the one for the summer? That's how I felt when I first smelt this range. Baylis and Harding bring out different scents every summer, and this one is definitely a beauty.

The Review | Maybelline The Nudes Palette

I do love me a nude palette, and when I see high street ones I get a little bit too excited. I was a bit disappointed by the L'Oreal La Palette Nude (which is why you haven't see it on here...) However I was quite excited by the Maybelline offering, thanks to the amazing quality of their cream eyeshadows. The main questions was whether or not they could bring the quality from those little pots, into a beautiful nude palette.

The Review | Hot Matte Velvet Lipstick

I've probably said this a few times on here, but I do love a bright pink lip in summer. As much as I love reds, pink rules the roost this time of year and as with most bold colours, I do prefer them with a matte finish. This little product is right up that street.

The Review | An Everyday Natural Mascara

There are those days where you don't really want to wear too much make up and you want to just look like yourself but better. One thing I really struggle to do is find a mascara that actually helps achieve this. It's my own fault, I love long lengthening volumising mascaras. And none of that says "natural".

The Review | Bourjois Aqua Lacque

I've seen a lot of mixed reviews on these, but I decided to just give them a go and make up my own mind. Bourjois have a lot of new releases going on at the moment and these were the ones I was most excited about so I'm glad I did. But which side of the fence do I fall on?

The Review | Joan Collins Divine Lips in Evelyn

I usually love red lip when it comes to bold statements, however when summer comes around I am all about the pink. Hello pink ladies indeedy. I have a lot of summer pinks, however I think I may have found the perfect bold lip pink - bold statement for a bold lipstick.
