Glamour Beauty Festival 2019
Today I attended the Glamour Beauty Festival that took place this weekend at the Saatchi Gallery in London. This is not my first time attending. In fact, I have been attending every single year since it started being organised. The Glamour Beauty Festival is an annual event organised by Glamour Magazine. At the event you…
Fabled by Marie Claire £200 Gift with Purchase
I don’t often shop at Fabled by Marie Claire so I don’t have much to say about the store itself. I know they have an amazing retail space on Tottenham Court Road in London and they often host pretty interesting events/shopping parties but I never actually managed to make it to one. The hours were…
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Moisturizer
This morning I saw myself forced to post about my latest experience with Cult Beauty. That article was not what I had intended to write today, not by a long shot. Today I wanted to talk about one of my favourite brands and that is Glow Recipe. If you don’t know who they are, you…
So Cult Beauty screwed me over…
If you recall, I was super excited last week when Cult Beauty UK finally released its latest goody bag. It had been a while since a new goody bag was released and as I decided to skip the previous one, I really wanted one so that I would have excuse to try new products without…
Milk Makeup Cooling Water
Yesterday I might have posted a review that upset a few people who were looking to get their hands on Milk Makeup products in the near future. I wish I could tell you now that this review will be different, but then where would the fun be? Read the rest to find out whether the…
Milk Makeup: Watermelon Brightening Face Mask
I received my Cut Beauty parcel weeks ago. I could not help myself and ordered some goodies the same day the brand became available online. However, I wanted to wait a short while so that I could properly test the products. I hope you don’t mind! So the Milk Makeup Watermelon Brightening Face Mask is…
Cult Beauty: The Founders Goody Bag
The much awaited day is finally here. I have been looking forward to a new goody bag from Cult Beauty ever since February 1st, but better late than never. When I saw the email, I was so excited and wanted to tell you all about it ASAP. I have to admit that I got sidetracked…
Cult Beauty Lydia Elise Millen Spring Glow Box
I was hoping to see that Cult Beauty finally released the goody bag or gift with purchase I have been expecting since February 1st, but sadly that is not the case. However, Cult Beauty did collaborate with Lydia Elise Millen – yes, the famous influencer – and came out with a Spring Glow Box. I…
VS Pink Scrub Down Coconut Oil Smoothing Body Scrub
This is definitely not the post I was hoping to write next, but this gal here is pretty bad at scheduling post and keeping up with a content calendar. Hope you won’t mind too much to see yet another Victoria Secret post. I promise that the next one will be a review of a different…
Detox Charcoal Purifying Body Scrub
Just like last time, I am not going to get into the whole VS controversy. If the brand is not one you can support then skip this post. I hope you won’t stop following me though, but it is up to you and I understand. Okay, so I am not sure about you, but I…
Achieve great skin with Disciple Good Skin Face Oil
Disciple might be a brand that you do do not know much about. To be honest, I had not heard of their products either before I purchased them. Last summer, Cult Beauty introduced the brand and they had a pretty nice offer going on so I was like ‘why not try the products’, you know?…
VS Pink Coco Zen Vanilla Body Lotion
Before we get into this review, I have to say that I know that Victoria Secret is a controversial brand and that many of you might not support it. I completely support your decision, but I also hope that you won’t hate me for reviewing their products. I wrote several other paragraphs below which I…

As you probably heard, Milk Makeup has finally made its way to the UK. The iconic products from the vegan friendly brand have been made available online for UK and Ireland based shoppers. I am sure that you are as excited as I am to stock up on their products, but I am going to…
Is an original Beauty Blender worth it?
For the longest time, I avoided using tools to do my makeup. In all honestly, there was not much makeup that I used to begin with. My routine consisted only of a bit of sheer foundation and some eyeliner. That is it! I know how shocking you might find this, but for me it worked….
Balmi Mint Lip Balm from I Love Cosmetics
I got my hands on the tiny little lip balm from Balmi by chance, to be honest. It was part of a beauty box that I purchased during a period of irrational anxiety that I was going through for my graduation ceremony. Who does that? Anyway, the Balmi Mint lip balm was just sitting there…
Grow Gorgeous Scalp Detox Review
I honestly don’t remember how I got my hands on this scalp detox products from Grow Gorgeous, but if I were to guess, I would say that it was in the Look Fantastic Beauty Advent Calendar in 2017. The reason why I am sure it is not the Grow Gorgeous products included in the 2018…
What I plan on getting from Milk Makeup once it launches in the UK
You have probably heard by now, but Milk Makeup is finally making its way to the UK at the end of January. The cult brand will launch on the 28th of January and it will be available at Cult Beauty. However, if you do not want to wait that long, then you can visit their…

Atropa Belladonna by Shay & Blue London
It’s been two years since I first tried this fragrance and I loved it. It is pretty unreliable how fast time goes by, isn’t it? The Atropa Belladonna by Shay and Blue was included in my first ever beauty advent calendar, one from Marks and Spencer. I was so excited when I got the small…
Karite and Shea Butter L’Occitane Toner and Cleanser
Okay, so there is something you might not know about me. I hate it when shop assistants fuss all over me, they make me feel incredibly uncomfortable. You would think that it would go away with age, but no, it worsened and you all know just how much I love to shop. Because I had…
Patisserie de Bain Hand Cream
One can never have too many hand creams, especially in this cold weather! For this reason, I decided to try a new hand cream which is the Patisserie de Bain hand cream with a lemony fragrance. I won’t comment on the fragrance too much as lemon and citrusy smells are really not my thing, but despite…
Foreo Luna Play First Impressions
I am probably the last person on Earth who tried any of the Foreo products, but it finally happened. Most of you probably know the famous Foreo Luna cleansing devices, however you might not be as familiar with the Foreo Luna Play. Foreo Luna Play is similar to the previously mentioned devices, but it is a…
How to keep your lips happy this winter
Cold weather is simply the worst. Not only it makes it impossible to go outside at times, depending on where you are living, but it also makes your skin feel super uncomfortable and leads to cracked lips. Who wants cracked lips? They are so un-kiss-able! For that reason, I looked into various options on how…
Top 10 most read articles in 2018
Since I only started this blog last January, there is no way to compare the stats for 2018 with anything else really. And another disclaimer I need to make before getting to the best part of this article is that this top 10 of must read articles does not include the gift with purchase articles….

Pixi by Petra Glow Tonic Review
Hope that of all you are familiar with this Pixi by Petra Glow Tonic by now and have used it at leats once in your life. If you haven’t done so already, then you have no idea what you are missing out on. Hopefully that will end today. The Pixi Glow Tonic is an…
!QMSMediCosmetics Hand Care
Hand creams are a necessity for me. Well, they should be something every one of you owns, but in my case they are a must. I often get cracked skin due to cold weather, bad water quality and in the past, due to lab work and cleaning substances I had to use. For this reason,…
Votary Super Seed Facial Cream Review
I am a huge fan of Votary so I was beyond excited to see their Super Seed Facial Cream included in the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar. Personally, I did not get the chance to try that many of their products, but I liked every single one of them. Will this be the exception? I hope…
Wrinkle Release Sheet Mask by Skin Laundry
Skin Laundry is an American brand you probably know all about as it is often featured on must try brand lists. This is one of the reasons why I wanted to try it myself years ago as well, but I have to say that I wasn’t very lucky. Oh no, I did try it, except…

Trish McEvoy Instant Eye Lift Jumbo
I cannot believe that it is already day 2 and I got to open the second drawer from the Liberty beauty Advent Calendar. The second product is one from Trish McEvoy and I could not be more excited. Trish McEvoy makes amazing products, but that was to be expected no? The Trish McEvoy Instant Eye…
Dermalogica’s Special Cleansing Gel
Dermalogica holds a very special role in my heart as it was one of the brands that got me more invested into skincare. Until I tried Dermalogica, most of the stuff I tried previous did not really do anything for my acne, but it all changed with D. For this reason, I was super excited…
LookFantastic Beauty Advent Calendar 2018
I know I just posted about the Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar this morning, but since tomorrow is the 1st of December I thought I should get this one out of the way as well. By posting my first impressions of the LookFantastic Beauty Advent Calendar today, I can get into reviewing each product without having…
Liberty Beauty Advent Calendar 2018 + vouchers

The Body Shop Japanese Matcha Tea Mask
As some of you might know, I am not the biggest fan of the Body Shop. However, the collection in which this Japanese Matcha Tea Mask is in is perhaps the most intriguing one. It definitely stands out from the rest, not just through price or packaging but also due to the quality. Speaking about…
Why is Net-a-Porter beauty advent calendar the best of 2018
Now that Christmas is less than 100 days away, the frenzy of Christmas gifts as well as beauty advent calendars has begun. Last year if you recall, I was all for getting as many advent calendars as possible.Okay, not really, just the ones I really wanted and thought would provide great value. This year, I…

Althea Korea – Authentic Korean Beauty

Glossier’s Stretch Concealer might just be the best concealer on the market
Finding a good concealer is no easy task and for that reason I was incredibly surprised when I found one. Glossier’s Stretch Concealer might be not just a good concealer, but one of the best ever created. I realise this might be strange, especially coming from me.

The Ugly Truth
The pressure of being perfect and of doing everything in a perfect manner is becoming more and more absurd as well as unhealthy, don’t you think? I am not here complaining because I know that is a standard that I will never achieve. Perhaps, I cannot even be considered a worthy competitor, but for the…
