Happy Halloween! I'm going to admit, I was contemplating whether or not to do one of these this month because I haven't bought as much new nice things as I would have liked (saving that for November), buuuut, there was still some things worth mentioning so here's a lil tiny October Favourites post. 1. Sleek Ultra Mattes v1 I'm not going to say...

So if you follow me on Instagram or like my Facebook page or, actually, have me on any social network at all, you'll know my hair has been on/off a lilacy pastel purple colour over the last few months. If you know anything about hair and pastel dyes, the thing is, they don't last at all. Most brands of non-generic hair colours only...

I'm only about a million years late writing this one but better late than never! I've seen so many blogs/vlogs the last few weeks on autumny/wintery lipsticks and thought sharing my favourites would be worthwhile. When I thought of autumn/winter colours I instantly thought 'dark colours and warm tones', and truth be told, I'm not super into warm colours on my lips, dark...

Despite the fact I 100% did not need these, I was in Boots and they were 2 for €14 (normally €10.49 a piece) so I thought I'd give them a try. Now, as a foreword, I haven't bought a drugstore brand eyeshadow since I began properly wearing make-up. Even back when doing my make-up was packing on black eyeshadow, it was usually an...

Two posts in one weekend! Today was the first day all week where I had the chance to do this because every other day I was either a) awake at the crack of dawn when it was still dark out for college and natural lighting didn't exist or b) too lazy to wear make-up for the same reason. Anyway I was reallllly liking...

It's the end of my first month as a blogger and no better way to commemorate this other than a generic monthly favourites post! When I was picking out my favourites I noticed I've mentioned nearly all of these products in posts throughout the last month but isn't that the point of these things anyway?! On with the good stuff. 1. MAC Cranberry...
