For me, Christmas isn't Christmas without a festive red lip. Whether it's to brighten up a casual jeans and bobble hat combo, or to add a fancy touch to a Christmas party outfit, a red lip screams 'it's Christmaaaas' à la Merry Xmas Everybody by Slade (niche reference perhaps...?). When I was a teenager, I … Continue reading The Best Festive Red Lipsticks | Blogmas Day 16
Now the weather is getting colder and my skin is inevitably getting drier, as it does every year, this time of year is when I like to focus the most on my skincare routine. The winter elements really start to take their toll, especially those cold winds, and I'm constantly making note of where my … Continue reading Skin Care Routine for Winter 2020
In recent years, there's been such a huge movement towards living sustainably and making choices that are better for the world in general. My family have always been big on recycling and whilst I was living away at University, I tried to carry this on; I was more aware of what I was chucking away, … Continue reading 4 Easy Ways to Make More Sustainable Beauty Choices

I love a matte brown or slight golden shimmer on my eyes, maybe winged liner if I'm feeling brave, and a neutral lip, swapped for classic Christmas red at the end of the year. However, I've recently taken stock of my make-up … Continue reading Easy AND Wearable Green Eyeshadow Make-Up Look
My usual everyday make-up routine consists of shoving on all the basics as quick as I can so I look presentable for work in as little time possible.
