The Glueless Scr4pbook.

A long time ago now I decided to get one of the Nars Matte Multiples (rrp £30, 7.5g) in the shade Anguilla and I thought it was about time I reviewed it properly. "A modern multi-purpose make up stick for cheeks and lips. Apply dry for a burst of high impact colour or apply wet to blend an imperceptibly smooth, sheer finish." Firstly...

I had just finished cleaning my brushes the other night and I thought, why not do a post about them and all the other tools that I couldn't live without, so here they are. Brushes- an obvious one, but there are definitely a few in my collection that I couldn't go a day without; the Elf Stipple Brush for bronzer and highlighter, the...

& Other Stories Nail Polish (£5/ 9ml) Recently I have developed a new love- the & Other Stories Nail Polishes. I have three at the moment and at least another three on my wishlist. The shade choice is incredible and I think the formula is actually pretty good too. Two coats is all it takes for a completely opaque finish, it dries quickly...

I was always put off buying this kit despite hearing such good things, purely because I had spent such a lot on my Kevyn Aucoin powder, but recently Boots had a Buy One Get One Half Price off which enticed me in, so I picked it up and I'm so happy I did. Sleek Face Contour Kit (£6.49/14 g) Shade Light. The compact...

Today I am reviewing a gorgeous cleanser I have been loving recently, the REN Rosa Centifolia Express Make Up Remover (£13/ 150ml). This has been really refreshing to use after months of just Micellar water after Micellar water, I really like the feel of cream cleansers, I know it can seem like you are just moving the make up around your face but...

I know this is technically a bit of a naughty post because this offer is no longer available but I just had to share it because I'm so pleased with my little bargain. Last week Boots had an offer on their Origins Mask Marvels gift set, the usual price is £50 for the set but it was actually down to £23 for one...

Today I want to review the "Simply Dip" Nail Colour Remover (£5) by & Other Stories because (spoiler alert) I truly can't believe how good it is.  I have never tried any of these hassle free nail polish removers (well, maybe once when I was 10 and I used my mums) and to be honest, I really didn't have very high hopes at all....

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick (£25/ 3.8g) SPF 15. I was lucky enough to be given one of these gorgeous lipsticks to try recently so I wanted to share a few thoughts on it. This is the shade 58 'Luminous Mauve', a purple-pink which transfers as more pink on the lips. It's really gorgeous, very different from anything I own and I'm...

Boots recently had a Buy One Get One Half Price offer on Sleek products so I picked up a few bits including this EyeBrow Stylist (£5.99) and I've been using it almost every day since, so I wanted to do a mini review because I've really been loving it. So it comes in quite cheap looking but sleek (no pun intended) black plastic packaging,...

Morning In the morning I first go in with the Garnier Micellar Water to remove any oils and dirt that have built up over night, I then give a spray of my Lush Tea Tree Water just to sooth any redness and my skin in general, for bad skin days I will then dab some BodyShop Tea Tree Oil on any blemishes. For...

I am finally reviewing the famous REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask (£30/ 50ml) which comes complete with a muslin cloth for removal.

To use this mask I follow the instructions on the box, which is simply spread over clean skin and leave for 10 minutes, then remove with the...

Nars Virtual Domination Cheek Palette (£45) When I saw that NARS were bringing out a cheek palette for the holidays I knew I'd be straight down to Space NK to pick one up. I have been after the famous Laguna bronzer for ages and had recently added the Doucer blush to my wanted list so I thought I'd go for this instead and...

I haven't done a 'Wishlist' post for a while, even though I constantly have a never ending list, so I thought I'd show you my current wants... 1. L'oreal Color Riche lipstick in the shade Blake's Pure Red (£6.99) I only actually own one red lipstick and I really loved the nudes collection they released earlier in the year so if these are...

My new Whistles snake print black leather pouch which I got using my ELLE discount, making it just £15, I...

I wanted to dedicated a little post to these amazing drugstore mascaras, the Rimmel Scandaleyes Volume Flash Waterproof and Lycra Flex. I have been using the Lycra Flex for ages now and I have loved it, but recently I needed a waterproof mascara after realising that I actually don't own one and noticed they had a waterproof version of the same thing. I snapped...
