Last weekend the We Are Thirty Plus group were all invited up to the Smashbox* Headquarters in London to check out their new lipstick range; Be Legendary which boasts an astounding 120 different shades to choose from!
I went up with Áine (who made a vlog about it and I feature in it, so worth checking out just for that. I honestly wish she’d learn to film my best side though!)
Before I got into blogging, I honestly had no idea that serums were even a thing. I bought my first one last year and, although I’d heard loads of bloggers talking about them and saying how great they were, I didn’t really have a clue what their purpose was or when and how to apply them. Luckily through reading loads of my favourite blogs I soon learnt everything I ever needed to know 🙂
Because I’m still pretty new to experimenting with makeup, I somehow seem to own pretty much every eyeliner type there is; I have gel, pencil, liquid and pen eyeliners. If you can name it, I’ve got it and tried it because I’m still searching for that one eyeliner I can use easily without getting frustrated because it’s coming out wrong.
Some I’ve loved and some I’ve really hated. Maybe one day I’ll do a post on the ones I really didn’t like and why.
Back in June, the lovely Charlotte (Just Charlotte) ran a Twitter competition to win a £50 Feel Unique voucher, which I won. No surprise to anyone who knows me; I’m a lucky raffle/Twitter competition winner 😀
Well that was a rollercoaster of excitement, food, alcohol, excitement, more food, friends, laughter and goodies!
On Thursday 25th August, I travelled from Brighton to Manchester with Jess (from Jess and Josh Cook) for the first official Girl Gang event, organised by Jemma (Dorkface).
Unless it’s escaped your notice, it was my birthday 16 days ago. I turned 32. Yeah, no kidding. According to the consensus, I look like I’m in my late twenties and act like I’m in my early twenties. Except I’m usually in bed at 10:30pm nowadays, not getting ready to go out clubbing. But I still have the fear that one day it’s going to catch up to me and it’ll all go downhill. Fast.
I can definitely believe that August is nearly over. There’s now a chill in the air and the leaves are turning brown and falling from the trees. What I can’t believe is that I managed to do this while it was still August!
When I was younger, I hated the gap in the front of my teeth. And even though it’s apparently quite fashionable, I’d never really embraced it. So for years I smiled with a closed mouth.
When the lovely Fliss at Fresh Naturals got in touch to offer me a couple of her sample products, I thought she was going to send just that. One, maybe two things. Instead she sent a whole array and I’ve been spending the last six weeks trying everything out. And I still have loads left!
If you read my Big Blogger Expo post, you’ll have seen me mention that I won one of the raffle prizes; a Heaven Skincare set from Deborah Mitchell. I also said I’d share exactly what I’d won in a post. So here it is!
