Desk-Side Beauty

Long time no speak. Welcome back! Since finishing university I've spent a lot of time in-front of the computer job hunting, browsing LinkedIn, replying to e-mails and other admin based activities (obviously with a little distraction of social media and Pinterest). Since I've spent so much of my time at my desk I think it was only appropriate to create a post about what I have to hand whilst I'm there.

Shelfie V. III: Battling the Blemishes

I've been battling problematic skin since just before Christmas trying everything to get rid of my developing acne. I've tried the Neutrogena Light Therapy Mask which worked for a while and then just started to dry out my skin (I used it for 15 treatments). I've used masks and spot treatments and nothing seemed to be working before I tried out my new dream brand Lixir.

Why I deactivated my Instagram account

It's been a while since I last posted. I'm coming towards the end of my degree and I've been slacking on the blog front. I have a slightly different post today, it's not about beauty or my favourite lipstick of the week (they will be back soon don't worry)!

Sometimes we get so caught up in everyone else's lives we forget to live our own. I have a few friends who either don't have any social media or take breaks every now and then. Talking to one of those friends, who often deactivates her Facebook and Instagram accounts to give herself time to live in the moment and work on herself, encouraged me to deactivated my Instagram account for 2 days with the aim to focus on what really matters. The 2 days past and I was feeling better than I had before. I reactivated the account after just over a week, feeling fresh and clear minded.

Skin Savour: Rose Quartz

I've always been a fan of a pamper and taking time out to do so. Recently, I've been getting into my facial rollers and facial massages. Rose Quartz is well known for its spiritual healing powers and how it promotes love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing and feelings of peace. It also produces energy rays of determination and commitment (it's also pink and beautiful)! After reading about the crystal and researching into facial rollers I decided to purchase the Rose Quartz Facial Roller over the Jade. A few brands stock these such as Herbivore Botanicals and Omorovicza. They can also be found on Amazon and Etsy.

Maison Margiela: Lazy Sunday Morning

Snow Day Skin Saviours

It's March. It's snowing. It's cold. Isn't it meant to be Spring already?! As I'm sure you're all aware, the UK has come to a standstill at a few inches of snow (but who doesn't love a day off of work to pamper and refresh yourself)! Staying hydrated is key to feeling smooth and silky in bitterly cold weather, I've chosen a few key favourites of mine at the minute that help me out on days like this.

Last Week in Lipstick V. II

19 - 23rd Feb 2018

It's fun looking back at the week and realising patterns in your mood and makeup picks you made. As you can see last week was a nude and MAC week. There are also 7 lip products due to me being extra by layering and experimenting with formulas recently...
