Double Take: Vampy Nails

Tuesday, September 29, 2015
As soon as the first golden leaf of the year touches the frost-bitten ground I'm ready to apply my favourite autumn nail shade - burgundy. Most of my favourite polishes of all time have been LE OPI polishes that all belong to the same colour family, colours like the British passport or cool, sweet sangría from my beloved Spain. As mentioned, I've gone through countless limited edition bottles...

September

Sunday, September 27, 2015
Ah September, a month of new beginnings (apart from for me, the unemployed graduate, that is!) As well as returning to school or university, September marks the beginning of a new season and the slow descent into darker days and plummeting temperatures. I'm always relieved when we reach this point in the year - not only because it means that Christmas is just around the corner - but also because...

Isobel Cooks: A simple Caesar Salad

Friday, September 25, 2015
Summer is the time for an abundance of salad due to the (hopefully) warm weather. However, I've never been a fan of salads so you can imagine my nightmare when the season approaches because leaves and dressings seem to feature in every meal. To combat this, I've been experimenting with the few types of salads (see another of my recipes here) that I do like and have settled on a recipe or two...

A handy tip

Wednesday, September 23, 2015
It's quite bizarre, but all of my best ideas seem to come to me when I'm trying to sleep. No matter how many times I repeat said ideas over and over in my head in the hope that they'll still be lingering when I wake up in the morning, they always disappear leaving me frustrated that I didn't get up and write them down. However, if I spent all my time writing down ideas that came to me when trying...

One Swipe Wonders

Monday, September 21, 2015
I know, I know, you've probably seen a hundred-and-one of these types of posts, but I simply had to give my two cents on the best 'one swipe wonders' out there. There are a few honorable mentions that didn't quite make the final picture (looking at you Kiko!) but there are the main shadows that I reach for when I want just a nice wash of colour to polish up my eye without too much fuss.  Maybelline...

Real Talk #1: Summertime & scarring

Saturday, September 19, 2015
Any time of year can be tough for those of us with scars, but summer is especially difficult. Rising heat results in the parading of skimpier and skimpier outfits every day, and the constant pressure to fit in and appear 'normal' can cause us the curse the marks left on our bodies from both physical and mental illnesses alike.  I was inspired to write this post by a courageous lady called...

Club on crack

Tuesday, September 15, 2015
MAC's Club (£10 refill/£13 potted) is extremely well-known and for good reason. The shade is loved for its brown/blue duo-chrome, a feature that doesn't appear that often in the beauty world, and which makes for the most stunning smokey eye when applied all over the lid and then blended out. However, many are oblivious to the fact that Club has a slightly more ferocious cousin...

Tips for long journeys

Sunday, September 13, 2015
Travelling is something I've been lucky enough to do a lot of in my life, and having lived a 13-hour flight from home at one point, I've learnt a few valuable lessons in my time which I thought I'd share with both well-travelled and inexperienced readers alike.  Plan out you day: There's nothing wrong with going with the flow, but after a long journey which will no doubt be accompanied...

Highs and Lows: a few tips

Wednesday, September 9, 2015
Life is funny. One day you can be at your highest high and the next day it could feel like everything has shattered around you. As someone that suffers from mental illnesses, I know what it's like to experience both highs and lows in a short period of time and wonder how things manage to change so quickly. Despite our best efforts some things just can't be controlled or even foreseen, so we...

WIBL #45: Nice n' simple

Monday, September 7, 2015
bareMinerals Complexion Perfection (£26): This product truly is perfection as the name suggests; the formula is light and blends effortlessly, the colour is one of the best matches I have come across (I use 01 Opal) and it doesn't cling to dry patches or break down on oilier skin. It also gives a gorgeous radiance to your skin without feeling sticky. A big winner in my book! MAC Technakohl...

Shaking things up...

Saturday, September 5, 2015
A week or so ago I finally got around to purchasing an e-course that I've been eyeing up for ages - Blog Life by the girls over at A Beautiful Mess. I'm going to do a blog post about the course once I've finished it, but as of now I'm only a few chapters in. Despite this, I'm already starting to implement changes to my blog, and today I'm going to introduce some new features that...

Lipliner love.

Thursday, September 3, 2015
Ever since the whole Kylie Jenner lip trend kicked off, the beauty world has been reawakened to the wonders of lip liner. Before it was more as a necessity for the odd bold lip look, but we have been thrown back 20 years and back to everyday neutral lip trend. Being born in the 90s, this is really the first time that I've embraced the lip liner look full on and I'm thoroughly enjoying the change...
