MONTHLY FAVOURITES : February



I always seem to forget how fast the month of february goes, and before you know it, I'm conjuring up my list of products that make the cut for the months favourites. This month has revolved around looking put together with minimal effort required, and boy have I mastered that technique these 4 weeks.

THOUGHTS: Charles Worthington Texturising Spray


Now I'm not really one to slather products onto my hair very often. However, being the owner of waist length, pin straight hair certainly does not do me any favours in the volume department. So I will do just about anything to give my hair a bit of a lift.

Deborah Lippmann | SPRING REVERIES | Spring 2014



*PR Sample

Pastels make their mark just about every spring, and this year is certainly no different. Deborah Lippmann has released six fabulously opaque polishes in the Spring Reveries collection; all of which I'm dying to get my hands on!

THOUGHTS: Revlon Colourburst Matte Balms


'Mischievous' - LEFT | 'Complex'- RIGHT
Ah the humble crayon. As much as I adore the flexibility of the concept, I simply wasn't head over heels in love with the continuous glossy formula that was being released alongside it. However, Revlon have once again answered my somewhat silent prayers and finally released a matte offering.

Detangling The Tangles


Lets begin with my current hair situation. I have waist length hair thats fine in strand, but quite thick in quantity. Now you can only imagine the sheer amount of knots that accumulate as the day drags on. Don't get me wrong I do appreciate my hair, but the amount of wasted time I spend brushing it is simply not acceptable. queue my little hair saviours...

Mini London Beauty Haul


Oh how I've missed blogging, its been what... 5 days? It feels like I've been away for 5 years! If you haven't already figured out from the title, I took a little trip to london and missed college, how rebellious. The soul purpose being to see the magnificent Taylor Swift in concert at the O2. It was amazing, spectacular, life changing... okay maybe not the last one, but I'm a huge fan so I guess you could say it was. 
Fan girling out of the way. I did manage to pick up a few beauty bits whilst on my travels; though not exactly a mountain of goodies, I thought it was worth a quick post to provide me with an opportunity to explain my absence.

The Lazy Guide To: Eyes


There's no swerving the fact that I'm a lazy person. Whether it be rushed mornings from sleepless nights or simply not having the effort to... well, make an effort. I like to have eye products at hand that can offer quick application whilst still maintaining the 'put together' look I so often yearn for.

Orange is the New Black


Okay so maybe black lips never caught on, but I thought it was a catchy title nonetheless ... well, for those who have stumbled upon the recent american series 'orange is the new black'.
Anyways, whilst us norms are still wrapping up in a multitude of layers, the ever glamourous industry that is fashion have already released the 2014 spring trends, keeping my optimism as to the arrival of sun somewhat alive.
The orange lip has been a reoccurrence for quite some time. This year, the likes of John Galliano and dsquared2 are but a few to have sprang this up on the runway and to have yet again, made it a 'go to' statement lip for the spring months to come.
