So i always love the look of salads, some look amazing. BUT when it comes to eating them... Different story. I feel like i'm just eating a bunch of leaves from my garden with the odd pepper or cucumber slice. HOWEVER. I found a way to ease myself into liking them, as they are so good to eat for lunch/dinner. They are a good healthy option to take to work on my lunch break instead of going to Tesco and picking up all the reduced pastries :/ So i made this pasta salad today which was so yummy. I...

Before anything else, let's establish how to pronounce this: ho-ho-ba, not jo-jo-ba! A few days before receiving this product, I was doing my research on all the AMAZING things you can do with this bottle of gold, and found out I was sounding like an idiot pronouncing the wrong name!    I was sceptical at first about using an oil in my beauty routine as my face is oily enough for me and i didn't want to make it more oily, but.................... this oil is that it is non greasy! YES, NON GREASY! - one of my favourite things!  The oil comes in a...

Ever since MAC launched their two pre-filled x15 eyeshadow palettes, I’ve been contemplating purchasing one but at £65 I couldn’t really justify one since I own a ridiculous amount of eyeshadow palettes but that still didn’t stop me lusting after them. The two x 15 pre-filled palettes are the MAC Warm Neutral Eyeshadow Palette and MAC Cool Neutral Eyeshadow Palette and each palettes contains fifteen full size MAC eyeshadows within one of their clear plastic palettes, however you can’t take the shadows out of these palettes like you can do with their standard palettes. If you were to make your own...

When it comes to mascara, I always feel that I’m left underwhelmed by the most hyped mascaras which is exactly what happened with the massively popular MAC Extended Play Gigablack Lash Mascara; I’d read endless rave reviews on it and when I tried it for myself, I really wasn’t as impressed as I thought I would be. Whilst perusing the Feelunique website, I spotted the NYX The Skinny Mascara and it really caught my eye as it’s so unlike any other mascara I’ve tried so I added it into my basket and figured it was worth a try, especially as it’s...

NYX HD Studio Finishing Powder is my current favorite product to finish off my makeup look!  It is so soft and silky and gives a very natural finish to the skin.  The product comes weighing a mere .21 oz (6g) but do not let the weight fool you! It is so lightweight, there actually is a lot of product that will last a very long time. The powder is very finely milled and powdery, but looks translucent on the skin.  I attempted to capture how soft this finishing powder is in the photo above.  It blends into the skin...

One thing I always say I love about Essie polish in general is how fast they dry and this new Gel Couture collection is no different, maybe even quicker than normal polish. With 42 new shades and with a promise of 14 days wear with a no LED lamp application - could it be too good to be true?I was sent 3 shades & a top coat: Signature Smile is a sharp fiery rosé, Hang Up the Heels – jet black accessorized with jade shimmer & Bubbles Only – classic burgundy crème.  The designs of the gel bottles...
