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 Favourites | July Beauty & Non-Beauty Video

A lot of what I've been loving in July beauty-wise is the same as what I was loving back in June, there's not much new pieces to really talk about. So I decided to try something I haven't done just yet and put some non-beauty favourites in there as well.

The Wedding Post | What Type of Venue is for You?

Image sourced from Google

There are so many different types of venues you can get married in now, it's a bit overwhelming to say the least when you start looking. What type of venue is more suited to you, what are the types, what permissions do you need... The list goes on. However, I've popped together a little summary of the types of venues I've found and also who I think it'll suit the most.

The How To | Transition into Summer

Whether it's summer or winter, I have a few products I make sure I use in each season. Why? Because different products are suited to different climates, and not only that, but your skin changes with the seasons as well. Leaves may go greener in summer, but my skin definitely gets oilier, which means I can't use some products I use in the colder months.

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 Video Post | Disappointing Products

Welcome to my first ever disappointing products post/video thing... I love watching these so I really wanted to throw in my two cents. I've been collecting products for a little while now so I hope you enjoy! Just a quicky disclaimer - this is all my opinion, no one elses, and you don't have to agree...

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 Favourites | Top 5 Drugstore: Mascaras

I really like doing these videos so I've been looking forward to the next installment of my top 5 drugstore videos. I've been a little bit obsessed with trying mascaras the past few months so it only seemed natural to use them in this month's installment.

Sunday Spotlight | Wonderful You

It's that time of week ago and today I wanted to share with you guys one of the blogs that has actually just been really inspiring me this year. This lovely lady has been through a bit of a life crisis that past year and how she's turned it around and built herself back up is amazing to watch. Also, her entire look = girl crush.

The Dupe | Benefit Roller Lash v Maybelline Lash Sensational

If you're like me you were completely swept away in the hyper of Benefit's newest mascara, Roller Lash. It lengthens, it seperates and it adds volume... What isn't there to love. Well, other than the packaging which is not my favourite. Honestly, it quickly went to the top of my mascara list... Until now that is.

The Style Post | A Summer Time

Summer is definitely a time when I really start to do my outfit posts again. As much as I love winter outfits of layering, I do feel more trendy and creative when the weather gets warmer. Also, my colour scheme tends to get lighter, although navy and blue still tend to be a common theme... Anyway, one thing I've managed to add to my summer wardrobe this year is a beautiful, summer style watch.

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 How To | Gold & Bronze Summer Look

I'm loving wearing gold eyeshadow at the moment this summer, so I decided to embrace it and create a whole summer look based around the gold eyeshadow - which then included a s*it tone of bronzer, excuse my french.

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 Favourites | June 2015 Beauty Picks

I didn't really like June if I'm honest so I'm pretty glad it's over. Goodbye June... Fair well! Good riddance... I'm excited for new things in July, the second half of the year and I'm hoping for some new mentalities (my own) and my own H2 resolutions... Which I'll be sharing with you all soon!
