Six Month Whirlwind

Wow! Never was the word whirlwind been more relevant. Luckily, despite all this I have been good at keeping on top of Instagram, so when I look back over my snaps, it makes me realise just how much has happened and the neglect of my blog becomes clear...

Firstly, I have missed blogging. I started a new job just over 6 months ago which significantly impacted my time – this sort of explains why I dropped off the edge of the earth! But in truth, it's a job I love in an amazing design agency and I can't imagine doing anything else. So it's time to *attempt* to make these two lives collide... I'M BACK – lets hope for some kind of beautiful explosion!

In the mean time, I thought I'd leave you with a visual summary of my time away. California and Nevada, to the countryside, Leeds and London... Beauty, hair and fashion to drinking, feasting and gigging...

Please enjoy my whirlwind!

What's on my face? March

I don't often change my makeup look up drastically, particularly not for a day to day look. However I do like to give little nods to the seasons within my neutral look which I think is a nice way to do it for normal girls who don't have time to get dolled up every day!

February Faves

Hello everybody and welcome to a slightly delayed roundup of my February Favourites. I always tend to do mine a few days late as I always like to look back at the full month before deciding, so basically this may become a theme! This month has been a really great month for favourites with some fab releases, 3 for 2 at Boots and the delayed effects of my January efforts to save... Forget monthly favourites, I think we could be looking at some lifetime favourites here!

Rose Gold Gorgeous: Zoeva Makeup Brushes

Helloooo Beautiful. 

Ah – I need to stop, I need to be sectioned! I think I have the biggest rose gold obsession ever...

Anyway, can you blame me? These brushes are not only beautiful, they are really great quality in my opinion. I'd only heard bits and bobs about how good Zoeva brushes are but they are a real pain to get hold of so I didn't bother until this little beauty hit the shelves. You can order online from the Zoeva website for 58 euros, I think it worked out at about £48 but then I had to pay an extra £7.50 for shipping since they're Germany based – yowch! Nonetheless, value-wise these synthetic and natural brushes are fantastic and they even come with this super cute brush clutch which I think will be fab for travelling – I can never fit all my brushes in my makeup bag so that was a nice bonus.

Fall Haul

Hi Everyone! So I think Autumn has well and truly arrived and as we’re entering November (already?!) I thought I’d do a little post of some of my purchases so far this Autumn.

Rihanna Loves MAC: Fall Haul

On Thursday MAC released their new Limited Edition Fall range – a collaboration with the one and only Rihanna once again, going by the name ‘RiRi <3 MAC Fall’. I was a little late to the party, not usually paying much attention to MAC’s Limited Edition ranges (mainly because if I love it then it will only cause me torture) but oh, the packaging... the packaging of this one is just devine.  Cleverly, they’ve used rose gold (what girl can resist) and the designer in me just had to own such a beautiful product.
