This was inevitable. Why stop at nude lipsticks? From time to time we all need help with choosing the right shade of lipstick (or any kind of makeup product for that matter), whatever that shade may be, and need a second opinion on whether to go with Mac Angel or Mac Cream Cup, or in my case, neither! This is why I live to blog! Being able to see the lipstick actually…
On my recent trip to NYC, I may have done a little (a lot) of damage to my credit card. Oops! It’s been a while since I last filmed a haul video so what better time than to do one now. I’ve put together all the beauty bits I’ve picked up from Sephora and a few of the usual drugstores (namely CVS and Duane Reade) to create one big haul…
I spent Christmas and New Years in New York with my boyfriend and had the most amazing, chilled (and chilly) time exploring the city but mainly enjoying the food. I’ve put together a little video montage of my trip which I hope you will enjoy and maybe it will give you some ideas on places to visit if you are planning a trip across the pond. Happy viewing!…
Toronto export, Bite Beauty has taken the beauty world by storm and have us european beauty bloggers gagging to get across the pond to get our mitts on some of the Bite Beauty action. What makes this Canadian brand stand out from the competition I hear you ask? Bite Beauty is a natural lip care brand that is rooted in using natural and organic ingredients that make the products good (and safe)…
I finally managed to put this video together and I really hope you enjoy it. Please do let me know if you agree or disagree with what I consider to be some of the best makeup/beauty products of 2014. I’d love to hear some of your favourites so let me know what I should be trying out this year. Happy Viewing and don’t forget to subscribe! Products mentioned in this…
A little late on this one guys but better late then never right? Here’s my December Beauty Favourites 2014. Happy viewing!…
So we’ve come to the final leg of our Asia adventure, and our final destination? Japan. We have heard of all the weird but wonderful things about this country but now was the time to finally experience it for ourselves. With ten nights lined up, we strategically planned our days between three of Japan’s biggest cities; Tokyo (of course), Kyoto and Osaka. I thought it might also be worth noting…
As it’s that festive season, it is only appropriate that my next video be a party look. But wait. There’s a twist. I’ve created a versatile look; muted, gold metallic eye, perfect for those that like a little shimmer but don’t want to go full on with the glitter (myself included). With this look however, you can team it with any lip colour and you’re good to go. I’ve chosen…
Hong Kong is one of those places that I’ve never particularly thought about going to. This is probably because of how I naively pictured it in my head; crowed, noisy, humid and polluted (although I have probably just described London to you minus the humidity). I was glad however, that I was proved wrong when I arrived at the penultimate destination of my three month travel, to the former British…
The Philippines was the first destination of our trip where I had never been to previously but where my boyfriend had and was very familiar with it, having travelled there many times before (hence I let him plan the itinerary and the boy did good). After a night in the capital of Manila due to our late arrival time, we caught a flight out early the following morning to El…
So it’s been a while since I’ve posted a favourites video, not out of choice but due to not being able to find a practical place to film whilst I’ve been away travelling. I had actually planned to do an October favourites as I got back from my travels on the 1st of the month, but due to having no access to internet, it was kind of impossible. But enough…
Last week I had the pleasure of attending an event in the iconic Liberty store in London in aid of Trish McEvoy’s latest launch; a limited edition Liberty print Makeup Planner (try saying that fast!). The Trish McEvoy Makeup Planner system is nothing new on the beauty scene. Hailed as the ‘one and only portable makeup vanity’, the patented planner is a nifty little thing, bringing some much needed order for…
I had the pleasure of attending Bobbi Brown’s recent event at their new flagship store in Covent Garden, London. Dubbed The Studio, the event was for the launch of their new collection, Scotch on the Rocks (very James Bond?), and they managed to call upon model and blogger/vlogger Ruth Crilly from A Model Recommends to model the new collection. The Scotch on the Rocks collection includes a whole host of beauty…
We made an unexpected trip to Thailand and if you had read in my last travel post, you would know that we gave in to the relentless monsoon in Malaysia (but also unfortunately Malaysia hadn’t lived up to our expectations). Having both been to Thailand previously, we knew what to expect and to be honest all we wanted at that moment in time was sunshine and good food. Within a matter of minutes…
Don’t you just hate it when you wake up and before you’ve even had a sip of your morning coffee (insert your alternative morning beverage here), it dawns on you that you have less than 15 minutes to put yourself together and get your ass out of the house? I know I can’t be the only one. And seeing as there has been a change of season (farewell Summer…I shall…
As much as I love the sunshine, the warmer weather and the long summer nights, there is nothing as beautiful as when the leaves take to lining the streets (although it can be very treacherous) whilst adopting a fiery palette of yellow, orange and red. Being an autumn baby with an autumn inspired name (my name translates as Autumn in Vietnamese), I think it’s safe to say that the season…
