I've just been scrolling back through all of my previous What's In My Makeup Bag posts and I stumbled across this particular beauty: the Summer 2018 edition. If you don't want to click through and read it then here's the gist of the matter, in image form: Isn't it...
Here I am, wafting about underneath a canopy of wisteria. It all looks very serene and idyllic, but don't let appearances fool you! Just out of shot: a cockapoo eating the remains of a small dead bird, a three year-old trying to touch the remains of the aforementioned...
I think I need a lawyer. Not because I've done anything illegal recently (unless plotting to kill the man who keeps strimming his bushes at night counts. Who the hell strims in the dark? Surely as an activity that presents so many dangers that it makes the whole...
Brace yourselves for some serious makeup lust: the Soleil collection from Tom Ford has landed. Look at those compacts! So chic. And because I'm on a bit of a bronzer run this week, I thought I'd test out the Ultimate Bronzer. It's pleasingly oversized - just calling...
I said in my Summer Essentials post that I'd review the Mat Illusion bronzer from Bourjois and so here it is in all its glory. It really is lovely. Completely free of any shimmer or pearlescence, it blends beautifully into the skin and leaves it looking realistically...
I have to say that I'm rather partial to these "wrap-over" style vests from H&M. One of the most difficult things about dressing a newborn is trying to get things over their head without almost breaking their neck. The wibbly wobbly head is nigh on impossible to...
Trying to schedule a post around when you think it might be sunny is almost impossible in this country, so I'm assuming that it will be raining as you read this. If it does happen to be raining, then look upon the post as a sort of "teaser" for any upcoming warm...
A little "there's light at the end of the tunnel" post for those who are in the throes of newborn baby chaos. If you're muddling through a life of relentless baby-feeding, non-existent evenings and interrupted nights then fear not: this too shall pass. And then you'll...
I completely forgot to include the Micellar Cleansing Water from Sukin in my Current Beauty Favourites: a huge oversight, because I actually use this quite regularly. I use micellars in general quite regularly, thinking about it, whether it's to remove a bit of my...
Mine eyes! They feel as though they've been replaced with shrivelled up conkers - the inside of my lids are like pieces of sandpaper. It's all so dry in the orbital region that it's amazing I don't start little fires in my eye sockets when I blink. It must be the...
My lovely sister-in-law came to visit me over the Easter weekend and, as she's a true makeup junkie, I decided to have a delve into my various storage boxes and drawers and offload some of my unused cosmetics. (Note that I say unused and not unwanted: I want...
I'm a terrible one for judging a book by its cover. And I mean that literally, not metaphorically - I'm not at all judgemental or presumptuous when it comes to people: just books. Which is why, shamefully, it has taken me so long to come around to reading Captain...
As I'm on a bit of a skincare-posting roll, here's the last of my pregnancy posts that has been lingering in my drafts folder. Mainly because a few of these products have been featured elsewhere, and I didn't want to repeat myself... But it's good to have all of my...
I've updated my skincare routine; firstly because we're moving into the warmer months and there's the inevitable extra sun exposure, and secondly because I'm no longer pregnant and my skin is far less sensitive. I've started to add stronger and more active products...
Skincare for New Mums (or Dads, let's not discriminate) - but the sorts of products I discuss, here, are suitable for virtually every skin type. Knackered skin, stressed skin, sensitive skin, dull skin - basically the sort of skin that you start to get when you become...
