What I've been loving... #25

Sunday, June 29, 2014
#25, why haven't we come a long way? It's been a year and a half since I started this bi-weekly series, and it's one that I've been really enjoying. I hope you guys also look forward to these every other Sunday - let me know if you're still enjoying them as much as I am!  Bourjois Bronzing Primer (£9.99):Although I have been known to use this as a primer in the past, that's not how I'm currently...

Metro-Proof Makeup

Friday, June 27, 2014
It’s hard to look your best all day when you rely on bustling public transport systems to get around that can leave you looking worse for wear. Whether it’s a bus, a train, or the dreaded metro, the steamy, clammy conditions at rush hour can leave you looking like you’ve just run a 5k. I admit – I might be exaggerating the title of this post a bit – this makeup won’t leave you completely...

Use or Lose... #1

Wednesday, June 25, 2014
Now that my exams are over, I have to start thinking about packing up my room and heading back to London. I have already arranged to have two suitcases checked in, so I have a fair bit of room, but I still need to be brutal when I'm packing my suitcases over the next few weeks. Whilst sorting through my stash, these were the products that kind of fell into the 'maybe/not coming with me' pile,...

A big insecurity of mine...

Monday, June 23, 2014
I've never considered myself to be very pretty, I've definitely never been skinny, so my academic skills have always been my strength. Then you go to university, and you realise that everyone is as smart as, if not smarter than you and that sucks. It especially sucks if, like me your self esteem had always rested on how well you do academically, and all of the sudden you've dropped from the...

An ode to cream eyeshadows

Saturday, June 21, 2014
After years of trying and testing, I have finally found my four favourite cream eyeshadow formulas (try saying that five times fast!) and today I am going to share my thoughts of them with you all. I'm 21 now, but Rubenesque Paintpot by MAC was one of the first higher end makeup items I ever bought at the tender age of 15, and I haven't looked back since. Not only are the formulas of these all unique,...

I might've gone shopping...

Friday, June 20, 2014
Ohh, an extra post - how very exciting! A post yesterday, a post today and a post tomorrow - don't tell me that I never treat you! On Monday I finally finished my exams and my life as a Spanish uni student is now over! So, to treat myself, I hit the centre of Madrid with one of my best friends for a shopping spree. Luckily for us, the sales had just started, and the Spanish sun was beaming...

The NARS Contour Blush

Thursday, June 19, 2014
The NARS Contour Blush - this new release from NARS is truly a stunner, and promises to help you carve out those cheek bones in a matter of minutes. Retailing for £30, it's a tad steep, but according to the recent blogging hype, it's apparently worth you pretty pennies. So, I trotted on down to the nearest department store to see how it measured up, and it may have ended up in my shopping basket....

I've compiled a list of my top five spots, as well as a few optional extras that will help to keep any type of tourist happy. I hope you guys find this interesting and hopefully useful if you plan on hitting up Spain's capital city anytime soon... 1. Row in the...

What I've Been Loving #24

Sunday, June 15, 2014
Aveda Foot Relief (£19): Over the last few weeks I've had more visitors than my whole YA combined (I'm not complaining!) but that means that I've been playing the role of tour guide extraordinaire, strolling around the madrileñian streets for hours on end. Although it was fabulous exercise, my poor tootsies have paid the ultimate price. This time about 2 weeks ago, I could hardly walk - I had...

Clay Masks - Save or Splurge?

Friday, June 13, 2014
There's a million and one clay masks out there, but two that seem to continually pop up are the Origins Clear Improvement Mask, and a much cheaper alternative, the Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask. So, the question is - which of these two is better? Is it worth splurging and getting the Origins version, or are you better off saving your pennies and buying the purse-friendly Boots mask? Well,...

Current Nail Rotation

Wednesday, June 11, 2014
My taste in nail polish changes like the British weather. Although I like sticking to a season-appropriate palette, I like to throw a few rouge shades into the mix to keep things interesting. Although I've been trying to give my nails a bit of a break from the constant colour, I can't help but long for pretty pastels, eye-watering brights and festival-appropriate hues to brighten up my life. So, what...
