Tried & Tested: Mario Badescu Skincare

2016 has been a tricky year for me skin-wise.  For the first 4-5 months I was suffering from prominent acne down both sides of my cheeks.  It was a reminder of just how crippling adult acne can be and I was determined to beat it.  I'm a huge fan of Mario Badescu's Drying Lotion and had some success with a couple of other products, so I decided to take the plunge and revert my whole skincare regime to Mario Badescu. This is how I got on. Read more

A Hong Kong Beauty Haul

If you follow me on Snapchat you'll know that I was in China the week before last.  It was probably the most insanely busy trip I've ever done! There was hardly a moment to stop and take a breath but do you really think I was going to let that come in between me and a beauty haul?! Of course not! This is all the crazy and wonderful beauty bits I bagged. Read more

The Ultimate NYX Lip Guide

Now that NYX has finally crossed the pond (hurrah!) I figured I'd whip out my collection and give you a run down of their (many) lip products. The one thing I find hella' confusing about NYX is they're continually bringing out new products which all seem very similar.  This is particularly true in the lip department, so I wanted to test as many as possible to see what exactly the differences are, which are the best and whether I would repurchase any.

Honest Beauty: First Impressions

Honest Beauty has been on the lips of beauty editors and beauty fanatics for a while despite not being available in the UK, although I'm sure it's only matter before we'll be able to get our mitts on it.  Given that I've been Stateside I figured this was the perfect opportunity to give the skincare line a whirl and report back.

Disappointing Products

I thought I'd keep it real in this beauty post by talking about some of my recent disappointing products. While it is far nicer to say wonderful and lovely things about holy grail products, sometimes it's also helpful to know which products to avoid.  Here are a few I've tried recently which stuck out in my mind for all the wrong reasons!

My Top 5 MAC Lipsticks

As a lip product fiend, my top 5 MAC lipsticks post had to be done.  You'll probably notice an apparent theme running through my 5 choices as I do tend to go for very similar shades but if I love something I go with it!  I've tried as much as possible to pick a couple of less obvious shades, so hopefully this will give you some new colours to check out in MAC.

Bellami Beauty Bar

The Bellami Beauty Bar is (according to them) where hair dreams come true.  Bellami Hair has earned itself a reputation of offering the thickest and best clip in hair extensions in the business.  Having heard people rave about them both sides of the Atlantic, I figured I would get myself down to their beauty and blending bar on Robertson, West Hollywood.
