Since I started going to blog meets and events at the beginning of this year, I’ve accumulated about 6 drawers full of goodies! I always mean to get around to trying everything, but life and being forgetful lazy gets in the way. So I thought if I made blog posts out of it, I’d probably actually make an effort to try out some of the bits and let you know what they’re like!
This Sleek palette post has been sitting in my drafts for absolutely ages, mostly because I wanted to take some photos which would do absolute justice to it but I wasn’t happy with any of the photos I took; they just didn’t look right. Does anyone else ever have that problem?
Back in August, I was lucky enough to win one of the Shadow Switches from Beauty Essentials. You may have seen them floating round the blogging world recently, but what exactly is a Shadow Switch? (Totally said in the tone of Mr Weasley regarding the functions of rubber ducks!)
Only out a week late, (but what’s a week between mates, right?) here’s my October favourites list of things I’ve been loving and it’s a pretty varied list this month 🙂
It’s been ages since I’ve done a makeup of the day post. In fact I think it was back in July! Damn… Where’s the time gone?
I thought I’d do an autumny-feel makeup look at the weekend; all purple and gold tones!
Where the hell did September go? I’m sure a couple of weeks ago it was still light out about 8:30, now it’s pitch black. Autumn is definitely here now.
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 😀
