So I haven't written a blog post for a long time, you can blame my new obsession of bullet journalling for that. I haven't blogged, I haven't read a blog and I haven't done anything super exciting with my make-up. However I have learnt some things since taking a step back from this blog. I have found some really great products, I haven found a few disappointing products and I have have learnt that I do still want to blog. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, hey? Enough rambling, let's get into my the products I've been loving. I'm calling this post 'May Favourites' but let's face it,  I ..read more

Make Vibrant Shampoo + Conditioner  This year I made the switch from supermarket hair care to "salon" haircare. This was the first "salon" haircare that I found was decent. This is a really good shampoo and conditioner, definitely one to try out.  Paul Mitchel original The Detangler  This conditioner is okay however the matching shampoo is nowhere near finished which is annoying. I wouldn't re-purchase this conditioner as I don't like the accompanying shampoo but the conditioner itself was fine.  Toni & Guy Intense Softness Shampoo + Conditioner for Norm ..read more

Too Faced Sweet Peach Creamy Oil Lip Gloss in 'Papa don't peach' I'm being a little sneaky including this product in my monthly favourites post as it is a relatively recent purchase. However, this is a product I have instantly fallen in love with and it's not often that I immediately love a product. What can I say? I'm pretty harsh when evaluating my beauty products. This is a shiny lip gloss in what I consider a perfect nude. Out of all of the shades in this collection it is the deepest with a brown undertone mixed with warm peachy undertones. It glides effortlessly across my lips and is ..read more

The Body Shop's Matte Lip Liquid claims to be long lasting with a creamy matte velvet finish that sets with an intense and rich colour pay off. They are 100% vegetarian, don't contain carmine or gluten and are of course cruelty-free. I have two shades from their collection, 'Nairobi Camellia' and 'Crete Carnation'. 'Nairobi Camellia' is  a neutral dusty pink colour and 'Crete Carnation' is a pinky nude. Compared to 'Nairobi Camellia' 'Crete Carnation' is more pale and a nude whereas 'Nairobi Camellia' is a deeper shade and has more of a berry mauve tone to it. I adore both of these s ..read more

The Chemistry Brand is one of the brands under the Deceim umbrella and they are now stocked in Myer - yay! Hand Chemistry - pro-repair skincare for hands is one of the best hand creams I have ever used!!! What the box says... "Concentrated multi-functional hand cream targets 8 signs of hand aging simultaneously. The extraordinary 19.5% active complex concentration visibly improves firmness, elasticity, density, evenness, brightness, texture, smoothness and hydration...Expect visible results in 11 days." What I say... Hand Chemistry is a rich hand cream however it doesn't feel heavy and t ..read more

Dry, chapped, flaky and sore lips are gross. They are also annoying and can take time to heal. When my lips need rescuing I begin with an exfoliator to get rid off the flaky bits. At the moment I am loving The Lip Scuff from The Body Shop. It looks like a lip balm however it is slightly gritty. I swipe this all over my lips - sideways and then in circular motions - and then run it off. I follow this with an intensive lip balm. I don't use an exfoliator on my lips that often, once in a blue moon actually. I usually find a good lip balm will keep my lips looking good but sometimes you do nee ..read more

Lip products are my favourite type of make-up to buy and to play around with. There are always new trends breaking, new colours to try and new formulas to put to the test! These are my top 10 lip products.  It was difficult enough for me to whittle this list down to my top ten so there is no specific order here.  Revlon Ultra HD Gel Lip Colour  These lipsticks are really lovely. My personal favourite shade is 'Desert' however I also love 'Vineyard' and 'Dawn'. With a quick swipe of the lips you good pigmentation that feels really lightweight and makes your lips look juicy ..read more

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara This is one of my all-time favourite mascaras and definitely my favourite mascara from Maybelline. It does a superb job of fanning out your lashes. It lengthens, separates and curls up really well. This mascara makes your lashes look gorgeous. It never smudges, clumps or flakes and it keeps your lashes up all day long. The wand on this mascara isn't your typical wand, it has two separate sections. The inner section of the wand helps get right into the roots of your lashes and the larger part is for fanning out the tips of your lashes. If you have never u ..read more

Wet n Wild Walking on Eggshells Eyeshadow Trio 'Walking on Eggshells' is a trio from Wet n' Wild that was hyped up on Youtube and beauty blogs a couple of years ago. When I visited America last I was super excited to finally get my hands onto this trio. Sadly I have only reached for this trio three times and one of those times was when I was writing up this post. I wanted to check I had my facts right. The three shades in this trio are very shimmery and I find it impossible to make a look out of it. I personally feel that a matte crease is essential. I like the shades in this trio and indiv ..read more

I struggled to look back over the products I've loved throughout February, it seems like a really month and at the same time I have no idea how we're through with the second month of 2017. There are a lot of products I've used and loved this month BUT I have only included the products that I have loved AND used consistently throughout the whole month. Maybelline Fit Me Foundation  Sometime last year this foundation was a favourite of mine. But as I love exploring new options, it eventually found itself un-used and shoved at the back of my drawer. I have started using this foundation a ..read more
