Miniature Review: ARK Skincare, Ren Skincare and Elemental Herbology

That’s it, I’m not even going to attempt updating my blog once every other day because my schedule is rather packed with revision and project work at the moment. Twice a week is a good amount too, what do you think?  I’ve collected a few smaller skincare samples over the past few months, mostly from beauty boxes and goodie bags. I think some of these are great, but a sachet or a 10ml sample is just too small to have its own deserving post. Therefore, I’ve decided to write a series of posts called Miniature Reviews, where I can feature…

Iridescence Vintage Lace Necklace and Earrings Set Review

Hey guys! Sorry about the little absence on here and on twitter. I had a really important deadline on Friday so I basically spent the whole of this week writing a report on Moldflow and injection moulding (!!!!). Thank god, no more of that….. until next week. 😛 Anyways, I’ll stop boring you with these “not-so-exciting” terms and move on to something cute and girly. Earlier in February I attended an event called “All you need is love!” organised by Bloggers Love (of course). There I met lots of well-established and up and coming beauty and fashion brands. Iridescence is one…

My First ELF Haul

Hands up if you haven’t tried ELF Cosmetics! I’ve given in, their 50% off and free delivery Valentine’s offer was too hard to resist…. hence, a week later I sit here playing around with a huge box of ELF goodies! As this was my first ever ELF order, I thought I’d try a bit of everything for my eyes-lips-face and see what I like the best. Besides, I had difficulties choosing what I wanted because it was literally like “limitless” shopping! I mean, when everything costs less than £5, you would go crazy too with the vast amount of choices!…

Sleek Makeup Ultra Matte V2 Review, Swatches + Romantic Look

I’ve been a little obsessed with Sleek Makeup eyeshadow palettes lately! They’re fantastic bargain palettes and I can assure you that I’m super impressed and I’m hoping to buy loads more of Sleek Makeup palettes in the future. I’ve already got my eyes on Garden of Eden, Au Naturel and Acid…. etc. etc. Basically I want all of them!  Anyways, the one I am reviewing today is Sleek Makeup Ultra Matte V2. I chose this one because it’s got loads of dark colours, perfect for smokey looks, and yet it looked pretty natural with the brownish shades like Dune, Maple, Flesh…

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Review and Swatches

When you’re running out of beauty products to review, you start digging out some of your old old treasures! This Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick is definitely an old treasure! It’s literally the product I’ve had for the longest time in my current beauty collection. It’s not the first makeup product I’ve ever bought, but it’s the one item that survived every single beauty product clean up. I know that you’re meant to throw away powdered makeup after two years, but I don’t have the heart to get rid of this three-year-old beauty! These photos are pretty old too (from last…
