ORGANIC SKINCARE IN BIRMINGHAM

On Saturday I visited Honest in Birmingham’s lovely Great Western Arcade as I had a birthday voucher that I have been meaning to use! It’s one of my favourite spots in the city because it’s so aesthetically pleasing and full of lovely organic beauty products. It’s just so reassuring to know exactly what you’re putting

TWO TONE

I’m currently writing this after eating far too much this weekend from Chinese New Year festivities (I’ve kept all CNY stuff over on Instagram this year) and maybe because of my delirious food coma state, I’m breaking my own rule of not doing two similar posts back to back as I’m bringing you  yet another

GYPSY WATER

Life has been extremely busy in the last few weeks which explains the delay in this post (oops) it’s definitely busyness rather than being demotivated though, so don’t worry! But to catch you guys up – I am pretty excited about 2017. A lot of positive things have happened and I am excited for the

TWO SCENTS

I often walk through the Selfridges beauty/perfume hall on the way home from work which is, most of the time, a pretty bad idea. It’s a good job they don’t sell any Byredo in the Birmingham store as I am such a sucker for their scents (not to mention their great design and clever magnetic

BEAUTY – THE CUSHION COMPACT

It’s time to talk about the Cushion compact! With the recent addition to the Lancome line up, MAC’s version as well as the upcoming L’Oreal’s Lumi Cushion I thought I should blog about the original Korean inspiration. I’ve been using them for a few years now and they are honestly one of my favourite ways of applying foundation. What is a

MY SKINCARE

Introducing my skincare routine! This post has been in the making for ages and I’ve finally stuck to a routine long enough to get a post together. I’ve never had perfect skin growing up and thankfully problematic teen skin was something I eventually grew out of. I don’t need to wear full coverage foundations but

BAL D’AFRIQUE

I’m obsessed with Byredo. Every time I visit Liberty I wander past the counter and spritz a new one on to try. I’d really like to try some of the Le Labo fragrances too but those are eye-wateringly expensive! The Byredo packaging is perfectly minimalist and looks awesome on my desk. I like that they’re

YSL TOUCHE ECLAT BLUR PERFECTOR

Time for a beauty post! My favourite brand I am lusting over right now is Saint Laurent (maybe I’ll get this bag next year if I save hard enough) but right now, all I can afford is YSL in make up form. I’ve seen some reviews for YSL’s Touche Eclat Blur Perfector and I was

NEW IN – BEAUTY & THE KITSCH

Introducing my current favourite beauty buys and a little kawaii kitsch too! I was on the look out for a new blush and was keen to try and track down one of the Tarte Amazonian Clay Blushes. After a bit of research I read a post which preferred the Clinique cheek pops to the Tarte ones
