I wasn’t initially going to blog about this but the numerous video reviews and thread comments have enticed me to do so. I was one of those who was looking forward to purchasing the hyped up Becca x Jaclyn Hill eyeshadow palette. I wasn’t interested in the face palette as the colours didn’t appeal to me but the Becca x Jaclyn Hill eyeshadow palette looked…

I’ve finally found a sunscreen for black skin that doesn’t leave a white cast! This post is all about the Soap & Glory Sunshield Superfluid Sunscreen. I have been searching for a suitable sunscreen that is broad spectrum (both UVA and UVB) for black skin for more than a month. I’ve tried brands such as La Roche-Posay, Soltan, Vichy and Lancome and have struck out…

I’m really getting into my skincare lately. Before, my skincare routine was as follows: Cleansing oil Face wash Acid toner Moisturiser Now I’m all about them serums! Once you’re in your mid-twenties it’s time to introduce them into your skincare routine. There’s not much point in waiting for sun damage or deep lines to set in. You want to avoid that. Sunscreen is key btw.…

I’m finally getting on with some skincare posts. I have typical combination skin – dry cheeks and an oily t-zone. I have hyperpigmentation from acne that I had as a teenager. I get occasional breakouts, usually closed comedones which when extracted contain hard sebum. If I haven’t grossed you out keep on reading. I’ve been researching skincare a lot over the last few months. I…

Who remembers when everyone wanted their brows to look non-existent? Or when girls felt embarrassed by having full luscious brows? I know those ladies with full brows are laughing now. Everyone’s trying to imitate! I, for one, am blessed with thick brows. However, they’re not full and can be a bit sparse in places. After getting them threaded I like to fill them in and…

Did you miss me? I’ve had phone problems which meant no blog posts as I like my interaction on social media to coincide with posting. Anyway, I never thought I’d be writing about this so soon. I am overjoyed. I don’t care how shallow this sounds. I couldn’t give a monkeys. Everyone who knows me knows I LURVE Urban Decay eyeshadows. I don’t care that…

Qualities of a good foundation brush Density Softness Does not shed I thought I’d answer this question right off the bat. I’ve been wearing make up for 10 years and I’ve used a lot of makeup brushes in my time. (Making myself sound old, this was not the plan). Thanks to Youtube and Pixiwoo I discovered Real Techniques’ brushes. They are nothing short of AMAZING.…

Hey dude! When I first heard about makeup setting sprays I assumed they would ruin your makeup but it’s quite the opposite. As a woman with oily/combo skin these sprays are a lifesaver (hyperbole obvs). I never knew how much these setting sprays would improve my makeup but they really do! Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray currently retails at £22 for 118ml. It…

Hi, I’m back! I bought the Urban Decay Vice 4 palette from Debenhams last year but I’m only just reviewing it now. Oops. I’ve been able to use some of the colours since purchasing it so I feel I can give a more well-rounded review now I’ve had it a while. It’s still available online and just recently it was on offer at Debenhams for…
