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. Because if there is something better than chocolate, its got to be makeup, jewellery and skincare! Here are some brilliant calendars I have found for 2017:     Elemis Skincare Advent Calendar. Available from Elemis.com for £150. Feelunique Advent Calendar. Available from feelunique.com  for £35.     ASOS Advent Calendar (My personal fave!) Available from ASOS.com for £55.  Jo Malone Advent Calendar. Available from Harrods.com for £300. Cows...

Around a month ago, I received a Benefit's 'Do the Bright Thing' kit through the mail. I was so excited simply because ever since getting into YouTube and watching beauty gurus, I would see them all talking about the High Beam Highlighter and They're Real Mascara. Now I had the chance to try it for myself!! This is a sample kit containing five of Benefit's products in sample sizes. (Best for those of us that aren't sure on paying out top price for the full size product in case it doesn't work) This Kit Contains..... 1.) "That Gal" Brightening face primer  7.5ml 2.) "Dandelion" (with brush)  A brightening face powder 3.0g 3.) "They're Real!" Beyond mascara 3.0g 4.) "High Beam" Luminescent complexion enhancer 4.0ml 5.)

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! In the new range there looks to be the return of the one and only Sweet Peach Palette, complete with it's 18 shadows, a Sweet Peach Glow Highlighting Palette, A Blush and Lip Glosses. I mean How freaking cool!!!! If any of you haven't had the honour of trying the Sweet Peach Palette out before, the eye shadows blend beautifully, give you the perf...

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...
