Bourjois Healthy Mix Correcting Concealer | Review

Hello everyone :)

I'm back with a review of one of my new favourite 'drugstore' concealers (how very American of me). It's the Bourjois Healthy Mix Correcting Concealer - which is basically the concealer version of my holy grail Healthy Mix Foundation. Of course I was going to pick it up.

MAC Showstopper Palette | Review & Swatches

Hello everyone :)

I mentioned this beauty of a palette in my first Makeup Mess Monday, but I wanted to do a full review for you - lord it deserves it.

MAC eyeshadows have always been a staple in the beauty world with promises of buttery softness, amazing pigmentation and a great range of colours. It's safe to say my expectations were high when I opened the Showstopper Eyeshadow Palette on Christmas Day and, apart from one shade, it did not disappoint.

Makeup Mess Mondays | #2

Hello everyone :)

If you missed last week's Makeup Mess Monday, I'm starting a new series in which I show you all the products that crowd my desk on a busy Monday morning. It's an easy way to see which products I reach for most and my favourites for those 'I've only got 10 minutes to get ready' days. We all have them.

The Beauty Blogger Tag | Velvet-Rose

Hello everyone :)

Today I felt like doing a more heart to heart post, so when I found the Beauty Blogger Tag I thought it was perfect and also sounded like fun. It's been a while since I did a tag-type-post so I thought it was about time.

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara | Velvet-Rose

Hello everyone :)

After reading a few raving reviews about the Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara - and seeing as I was in desperate need of a new one - I knew I had to get my hands on it. I've not tried many Rimmel mascara's in the past so I was very excited to try this one, especially considering all of the hype surrounding it.

My Makeup Collection & Storage | Velvet-Rose

Hello everyone :)

I recently gave in to the beauty blogger hype and bought some Muji drawers and I am so glad that I did. They are so practical, easy to keep clean. they look good and they're pretty darn cheap. As my collection grows I'll definitely be buying more.

I know I don't have the biggest and best collection, but I thought it would be fun to do a collection now and update it this time next year to see how it changes - I can guarantee it'll be a lot bigger.

Makeup Mess Mondays | #1

Hello everyone :)

Happy New Year! To kick off 2014 I'm going to be starting a new series called 'Makeup Mess Mondays' (in my attempt to start blogging every week). I'll try to do one of these plus a review each week, but seeing as I have a lot of coursework and exams coming up I can't promise anything..

Anyway, the purpose of this post is to show you what products I reach for each week. I tend to change up my routine quite often and as I'm now earning money it means I can experiment with more products - yay!
