I've been trying out four products from First Aid Beauty this past month after placing an order with them on Asos. Now as many of you know I have extremely sensitive skin and the slightest change to my facial routine will make my skin irritated and breakout big time. With that being said, I had heard amazing reports about this brand so thought I would give them a whirl. First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser Price - £15.00 Review: This is without doubt an excellent cleanser. I personally wouldn't describe it as gentle but neither it is harsh (although FAB themselves state it as being a mild and gentle formula). For me it strikes the right balance. It's effective at cleaning without stripping the skin. I use it every morning and then at night with my Clarisonic. It lathers easily and I mean it when I say you only need a small amount to cover your face. So the plus side of using such a small amount is a little goes a long way and will last a lot longer.

Ever since I was a small girl, I can remember being obsessed with the small, quirky, fun, little pots of cosmetics for children that contained the sticky gloop which I classed as lip-gloss. Even though I now look back and realise how honestly awful these items where at that age it was fun to use and I wanted all of them! Skip forward to my collage years when I started to properly experiment with make up and different looks. Favourite brands being Collection 2000 with there relatively affordable prices for a college student and there huge range of different products. I can remember going to school wearing all Collection 2000 one day. Mascara is a huge staple for me even today, so of course I worn anything kind of mascara from there range, and loved it! That was until P.E day and the heavens opened. Safe to say I would have made an amazing tribute act to Alice Cooper! So now present day and I'm really loving trying out different brands and none other that the fabulous compan...

It may only be the beginning of November, but this is the time of year when I dig out my thick woolly jumpers and the dark coloured cosmetics and start getting way too excited at the fact its nearly Bonfire Night and Christmas isn't too far away either! I absolutely love this time of year as I adore autumn/winter fashion and makeup looks. I thought I would start my autumn/winter blog posts with something a little festive; Beauty Advent Calendars.

Around a month ago, I received a Benefit's 'Do the Bright Thing' kit through the mail.

Is it true? Can it be? TooFaced are bringing there Sweet Peach Palette back?!?! Hey Lovelies, So today I can a couple of people inbox me regarding a recent tweet about the TooFaced product  Sweet Peach Palette disappearing. Now I have had people message me telling me it's making a come back? Is this true? Having stalked the internet and done some investigating, a Youtuber Celeb has confirmed this rumour to be true, in the form of a PO box video and the huge Sweet peach range!!! I'm honestly beyond excited to get my hands on these products. Peach is my go to colour during spring and summer and it's back!

Hey Lovelies, So today I'm coming at your with a review on a foundation I have recently had the pleasure of trying. My usual foundation just wasn't cutting it anymore and by the end of the day, was literally sliding off my face, so time for a change! I did a bit of research and saw quite a few recommendations for the TooFaced Born This Way Foundation for a full coverage foundation suitable for dry skin {Although I suffer with combination}. The shade I got is Nude and it's the right colour for my lighter skin gained over winter once it's been warmed up a little with some bronzer. It has a nozzle already on the bottle so it's much cleaner and hygienic than dipping into it. One and a half pump of foundation is more than enough to cover my entire face without it looking like I've been caked and could clearly plaster a wall with it. The foundation itself is really nice to use. It blends well, feels cool on my skin and covers everything I want it to without...
