A 21st Birthday [Mostly Beauty] Haul

So my birthday passed over a month ago but as we all know, this post always goes up late due to later gifts. I'm always grateful for any gifts at all and I'm always so astounded by how much thought went into them! I also did my own treat-myself spree on the weekend of my…

[Review] Glossier Stretch Concealer

As part of a recent birthday haul, I made a small order from Glossier. One item in the package was a repurchase of their Milky Jelly Cleanser, which I love as a gentle second/morning cleanser, and the other item was the Stretch Concealer. I had been meaning to order it earlier but just as I…

[Review] Lottie London X Thuy Le Glitter Switch Liquid Lipstick in Ravenous

I've been heart-eyed at the Ciate London Glitter Flip Lipsticks recently, as novelty as they are. Imagine... Lipsticks going from Matte to glitter for a night out!! Although I can't see the use beyond that... Price: £6.95 Cruelty-Free? Yes. Sell in China? No. Vegan? Yes. I was wandering in Superdrug before noticing that Lottie London…

Destashing My Makeup #2

Recently, I did a spontaneous destash of my skincare and some other makeup, but of course, there was MORE. I've been insanely inspired and simultaneously horrified by various blogger declutters as while my collection is nowhere near as large, I still struggle to use everything up. Part of me wants to use everything up and…

Skincare Diary, March 2019: What I’ve been using this winter

The plan for my 'skincare diaries' was to make a series of skincare routines exploring my 'skincare wardrobe' but after a few drafts of this post, I realised that I don't have a wardrobe big enough to warrant trying to explore it. Especially now that my wardrobe has gone through a bit of a cull,…

Review and Lament: Rosette Ceramide Gel

So... I wasn't going to blog about this product separately but, in the end, I felt I had to!! You see, I had been wishlisting this product for a solid half year before I eventually bought it in the low points of its fluctuating price on Amazon, for a lovely £8. I also had a…

A Spontaneous Destash #1

Recently I did a quick thing with my skincare stash, sort of a Konmari thing although I haven't had the time to do it to my room properly yet. I imagine the local charity stores will be very well stocked when I do! The way I destash my makeup is usually to put items I…

An Eventful Bold Lip Edit

Hi Everyone! Lots of events are happening this fortnight for me that are going to warrant a red lip. From Lunar New Year to one-year-anniversary celebrations with my boyfriend, to Valentines and then my birthday. I wanted to share the red lipsticks up for consideration for each event... Not counting the fact that I am…

A Spotlight On Haircare.

Hi Everyone! I have never written about haircare before although I've been meaning to, so I thought I'd finally do it! This is mostly just going to be just me nattering ON and ON about whatever I've been using or have used recently. Up until a few years ago, I was using the same hairdresser…

Review: More Clinique Pop Lip Colours (Bare Pop, Ruby Pop, Icon Pop)

Hi everyone! It's about time I shared these, for the first review of 2019! You all know I love and ADORE the Clinique Pop Lip Colour in Cherry, which is plush and comfortable and stains beautifully. So, I bought this set of minis, including a spare Cherry Pop, during the Boxing Day sales in 2017.…
