Nowadays, people are more and more conciencious over keeping their makeup in tip top condition. You can wash brushes, but what about your products? When do they need replaced? Let's discover the horrifying truth...Or shall we? Mascara - 3 Months Unfortunately your Dior show mascara won't seem so worth the price tag after all if you don't even get time to finish the bottle! However, keep your Mascara longer than 3 months and you run the risk of some nasty eye infections #notcute Eyeliner-3 Months Now this goes for all liquid and gel liners. Sorry to break it to you, these don't last long enough to master the perfect cat eye wing, sigh. Pencil eyeliner-2 years 2 Years? I hear you asking.Yes.Two.Whole.Years. Life is not so bad anymore... Lip Gloss- 18-24 months Personally, I think this is really reasonable, because for me I can get through tubes of The Balm lip gloss like nobody's business. Lipstick and Lip liner-1 Year Charlotte Tilbury is now in

Sunday is the best day to boost my skin. I have far more time and patience than I would have mid-week. This means I can take more time to cleanse and care for my skin. I love how at the end of the week I can relax and take time to do a skin care routine, or choose to switch it up, depending on how the previous week has left my skin! I start the morning off with a long hot shower, this opens up my pores (this is ideal if you want to prevent blocked pores and give them a good cleanse!) I hop out the shower and  cleanse my skin with the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish. This product is absolutely fantastic, and has twelve awards to prove it! I use this with the pure cotton cloth. This product works in a 2 phrase process. Phase 1 is the Cleanse, where you massage this onto dry skin, working in a circular motion. Phase 2 is the Polish and uses the damp cloth to wipe off the cream. Afterwards, lightly pat skin dry with a towel. This cleanser contains Chamomile and Eucalyptus essential o

I spent a day strolling around Montpellier, one of the most chic and cool hangout spots in France, exploring the refreshing mix of tradition, culture and modern, along with the most stunning architecture in the South of France.

Summer is such a great time to try out or switch up our makeup and skincare routines, So I have got together a few gorgeous products I know you will LOVE! My first pick is this STUNNING lip stick from my favourite makeup brand; Benefit. This fantastic lipstick has a built in lip liner and a tear drop shape applicator for easy and on the go perfection! This Wonderful shade is called 'Flame Game' and is a striking Orange, Perfect for the Summer Time!                                                      This next skincare saviour is the Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment. Now I know what your thinking-This is already a cult classic,but with this new packaging all in the name of a good cause (Empowering young people with HIV) and beautiful design and dreamy formula, how could I skip it?! Next I want to talk a little bit about the Liz Earle Super skin Dry Oil for body. This brand is such a staple in many peoples skincare and makeup routines due to it'

Summer is an incredibly difficult time to stay hydrated.From harsh Sun lotions to becoming a shrivelled raisin in the pool,we all could do with a little more skincare to stay tip top Here's How... 1)Drink plenty of water.This may seem obvious but soooo many people miss out on this (Including me to be honest)and you're not alone if you don't fancy drinking bottle after bottle of plain water. There are so many ways to make delicious infused water!Here is my favourite recipe: Ingredients: 1 thinly sliced cucumber (You will use 4-5 slices per glass) 500ml Water Ice Cubes Lemon juice Mint In your glass,add a few cubes of Ice,then 4 slices of cucumber on top. Fill your glass with chilled water and add two teaspoons (or as much as desired) of Lemon Juice and a few mint leafs. Mix this in to the water Enjoy! PS. Serve in jam jars for an Instagram worthy drink! If you don't have any free time to make this lovely treat,then drinking co

Summer is finally here and that means one thing. The beach... Now you either love it or hate it but whatever your feelings are, there are a few things we can all agree on... 1) There always happens to be a huge turnout whenever YOU go. Let's face it, unless you own a private island (and if you do, well aren't you lucky eh?) then you find especially in the hot weather you have to fight your way through sunburnt holiday makers and locals alike, whilst practically sprinting at full pelt to avoid the burning sand on your poor tootsies.  2) Buying your ice cream is just a bad omen. I'm sure we all have a story to tell about ice cream fails, whether it went from your mouth and migrated to your nose/cheeks?! or was topped with sandy sprinkles or maybe your dog started eating another strangers Mr whippy (True story-Oh the shame!) 3) You get serious Inflatable Float envy. No one likes a rubbish lilo that won't take your weight so your once so simple trip to the b

Ok Guys, I wasn't planning on doing any Monthly favourites, But I am just loving a few products right now so I just HAVE to share them with you all!   (In order from Left to right) #nofilterneeded • THE ONE MEMORY OF FLORA BANKS-I'm almost finished, and although I haven't, I couldn't leave it out! This is a wonderful story which is beautifully written from the Zoella and friends book club from WHSmith. I can't put it down! •MINKPINK sunglasses Wow! The struggle was so real to get these! The only place you could buy them was asos and they had sold out! Luckily they came back in stock and I snatched a pair! These are so funky and definitely not something I don't usually purchase, but they are also super girly and different. •TONI&GUY Sea Salt spray Now I have tried pretty much every Sea Salt spray out there, with the same effect: Crinkly and knotty. So, When I saw this little bottle in Boots, I thought 'I've go

Writing the first post is notoriously daunting, here goes... 'If you were to have one wish, what would it be?' I'm sure you have all been asked this question at some point, and I presume your replies might have gone something like this: 'ooh I dunno,A big house or to end world hunger?'  Or maybe you would be inclined towards the 'An everlasting tub of Skittles!'  But ,Whatever Floats you boat?! I think your answer can show a lot about you, are you kind and giving? Caring and Loyal? Seeing that this is a good ice-breaker , I thought that it would be appropriate for my first post? So this is a few things I might say... -End anything causing unhappiness and stress, be it mental health issues, life changing disability or   just unfortunate events(-I used to read that series all the time!) to just disappear -Poof! -To be able to afford to treat my parents to things like holidays, just as they have done for me. -A house made of cookies. Now I'm no
