Urban Decay have built up such an established reputation for themselves, everyone has heard of the Naked palettes and for good reason in my opinion. I have found through my experience with the 4 Urban Decay palettes that I own that they are some of the best quality shadows in such beautiful shades.  My Naked Basics palette is amazing for travelling with and brill for the girls that just want a super natural look. Although there are only 6 shades in this it is a versatile product that can create tonnes of different looks. I often smoke out the black shadow with a pencil brush along my lash line to make my lashes look thicker and create a kind of smoky look. While on the topic of versatile the Shadow Box is the one to beat on unlimited looks achievable with just this one palette. It's full of neutrals, bright pops of colour and really cool out there shades. I love this when I want to experiment with my eye looks. The Naked 1 and Naked 2 palettes are both very

After recently purchasing this  (£48- I know, crazy!!!) and reading all of the raving reviews I wanted to put it through my own tests. In the past I have dabbled in the odd exfoliator but in general I find that a lot of them upset the balance of my extremely sensitive skin. Therefore I am very cautious when it comes to scrubbing my face and tend to stick to cream/ oil cleansers with a flannel to cleanse the skin. However, I have recently felt that my cleansers aren't getting rid of all the grime all of the time and so I wanted to invest in a product that could make my face feel squeaky clean without stripping it of all moisture.  This seriously does the trick!! The Oskia Micro Exfoliating Balm is really moisturising and gentle on the skin whilst giving it the attention it needs. I always feel that it has got rid of any make up residue that happens to linger after cleansing, it gets rid of dullness and it makes my skin feel amazing. Not to mention the whole host of amazing

Highlighters have become huge in recent years and it's clear why. A dull looking complexion can be completely transformed with the help of the wondrous highlighter. My five top picks are all incredible at creating a really dewy, healthy glow. At number one it has just got to be Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Pop. Definitely on the more pricey side but 100% worth it! This is the perfect shade for all different skin tones and the finely milled, creamy formula enables effortless blending for maximum glow without looking cakey or streaky. Secondly my Charlotte Tilbury Film Star Bronze and Glow Palette. This beauty is perfect for on the go as it has a wonderful bronzer accompanying the gorgeous highlighter. Both are incredible at creating a sculpted finish and the highlighter is for when you really want to make a statement. I'd say this one is definitely more for night outs or when you really want that pop as the powder is not particularly fine so more noticeable th

After changing up my make-up storage a million and one times, I feel like I'm finally happy with how my lipstick collection looks, so I decided to share it with you. I believe my sister got these drawers/ storage system from ebay, so here are a few links to similar ones  similar  (£11.99) same  (£10.99) Lipstick stand without drawers  (£2.08). I hope this helps people looking for things like this.  So, up top to the right in the lipstick slots I have all of my fave lipsticks from MAC, Kiko, Nars, Rimmel, No7, Hourglass and Laura Mercier. I think this stand is so handy to keep lippies well organised and easy to see, therefore it's easy to use all of them instead of just reaching for the same one everyday out of convenience. To the left hand side of the top compartment I keep all of my lipliners in an old The White Company candle holder. This is the perfect size for all my liners and again they are easy to grab and see.  In the back two compartments I kee

As it was my birthday recently I was spoilt rotten by my loved ones! I also took it upon myself to update my collection and purchase a few new products myself. (Although I definitely didn't need to!) Firstly, my wonderful sister kindly got me the Urban Decay Naked palette , I have got number 2 and also Naked Basics, both of which I adore! The first edition however, has been my most reached for eyeshadow palette since I got it nearly a month ago. The shades are perfect for everyday looks as well as creating gorgeous smokey looks for evenings. I think this palette would be beautiful on so many skin tones as a lot of the shades are really neutral, so very wearable! Secondly, my best friends hooked me up with a new Benefit Bad Gal Lash mascara , I had bought myself a tiny size of this in Canada a good few months ago and I must have rambled on about how  much I loved it and needed to buy a new one. Second tube of this and I'm loving it even more than before. I feel that t

My lovely mum decided to treat my sister and I to a magical experience of making our own silver rings to keep forever. We spent the day at a cosy and welcoming jewellery school ( File and Forge ) where the lovely Emma showed us the ropes and taught us everything we needed to know about making our very own gorgeous silver rings. We started off with a copper prototype, which turned out to be an extremely useful exercise as all three of us downsized the sizes of our fingers (inadvertently praying for slimmer fingers?). We each decided, after snooping around the collection of already made rings, on what pattern/ design we wanted. My mum had planned well in advance to stamp the initials of  our 6 family members around the circumference of her ring. My sister opted to create texture on the surface of her silver by using sandpaper. I loved the effect a thin hammer gave to the rings I had seen and so decided to go with that for my own.
