Recently I’ve been hearing a lot about Primark’s Longwear Ultimate Matte Foundation being a dupe for Estee Lauder’s Double Wear. I absolutely swear by Double Wear so I had to give this a go and see for myself if it was true. Price: The biggest difference between these two foundations is the price. For 32ml … Continue reading A Double Wear Dupe?
1. You’ve got a resting bitch face, it’s okay. Don’t feel like you have to smile and make a conscious effort all the time because it will get exhausting. It’s just your face, embrace it! 2. Don’t worry about having a mono-brow. The skinny brow trend will soon die-out and people will actually be jealous … Continue reading 10 Things I Wish I Could Tell My Teen-age Self
As it’s the first of March I was expecting to write something about how lovely it is to finally see the weather turning. However, there is currently at least 5 inches of snow outside due to the “Beast from the East”. So I thought I’d talk about how I’m protecting my skin against the cold … Continue reading Sheet Masks To Tackle Sub-Zero Temperatures
In the past month I’ve had at least one meal out every week, a boozy night out that ended in kebab and cheesy chips, and the best cheesecake I’ve ever had in my life. Also in that month, I’ve managed to lose 13 pounds! This week I’ve weighed myself at home because it’s reading week … Continue reading Slimming World: One Month Later
When I did my little haul of Primark cosmetics about 50% of it was lip products so I thought they deserved their own post. If you’ve read part one of this post (if you haven’t, please do!) you’ll know that it’s definitely a hit or miss situation and you never really know what you’re going … Continue reading Primark Cosmetics Part 2: Getting Lippy
I’m all about saving some pennies and if I can find a product that does the same as something three times it’s price, you can bet your behind I’m going to find it. High-street brands have come such a long way in giving us good quality products at a fraction of the price, it’s no … Continue reading Primark Cosmetics Review
After last month’s box I wasn’t feeling too confident about my birchbox subscription and if this month’s wasn’t very good, I was cancelling it. It came early this time, instead of at the end of the month, so that was nice. They were “celebrating beauty through the decades” and there were three box designs to … Continue reading February Birchbox Review
It’s amazing how many people instantly put on a pity face when you tell them you’re single on valentine’s day, like I’m supposed to be hauled up for the day crying into my pillow. What I’ll actually be spending the day doing is writing my dissertation (or trying to), which could cause some tears but … Continue reading Being Single on Valentine’s Day
As someone who loves beauty products but not the expensive price tags or storage issues, a monthly subscription that sends me 5 beauty samples (one full size) sounded perfect. Birchbox has been around for a little while now and I decided to give it a go. I’m fully aware I’m reviewing Januarys box in February … Continue reading My First Birchbox / January Birchbox Review
Lately I’ve been feeling a little bit too hefty and after trying so many fad diets I decided to join Slimming World with my friend Lisa. The first meeting I went to on Monday night was so pleasant I began to think I could actually do this diet. What I wasn’t expecting was for how … Continue reading My First Week Of Slimming World
