NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Shadow Palette (Smokey) – A Review

A couple of weeks ago, I finally decided to pick one of these palettes up. It's not often that I get to look at NYX make-up since I live in a tiny little town with no NYX counter within about 40 miles, so I'll always do a nice haul whenever I come across one! As…

Marc Jacobs Beauty Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara – A Review

Receiving make-up as blogger mail is one of the most exciting parts of beauty blogging! A couple of days ago I received the new Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Mascara to try and test out. This came as a total surprise to me (I hadn't checked my emails in about a week) so I was pulling…

Palmer’s Hand, Facial and Hair Product Reviews

A few weeks ago, I received a parcel from the lovely Palmer's team which contained lots of beautiful products to try. I love the Palmer's brand and swear by their body lotions, so was super excited to be given the chance to try a mish-mash of products I'd not had the opportunity to pick up.…

Grenade Product Reviews

Last week, I was lucky enough to be sent a bundle of Grenade goodies to try and test out. I'd always seen Grenade products sitting in fitness shops in their colour-popping wrapping and delicious sounding flavours, but had never got around to buying any, hence why I was beyond excited to receive this delivery! I'd…

Barry M Tahitian Body Oil

I've been using this product since the week it came out, and have been on-off using it over the summer alongside the nice golden tan I managed to get after a week in Lanzarote. If you're anything like me, you want your tan to stay as long as possible, and this bronzing body oil is…

One week with my Fitbit Blaze

I've been following the Fitbit craze since January of this year, and have loved every second of it. My poor Fitbit Charge HR had fallen victim to the standard problems of deep screen scratches, cracks running down the plastic and the band bubbling, basically in simple terms, it looked awful. Of course I was a…

Coconut Oil: My travel godsend

I guess this is more of a beauty (hair?) blog post, but it does fit into my travel theme ever so slightly - promise! For the past decade, I have truly suffered with my hair. It's thick, it's dry and it frizzes the second the temperature gets above fifteen degrees.  Blow-drying my hair is a…
