Animal Crossing x Colourpop Collection – Is it worth your coin? | ep4

Hey everyone! After the longest unintentional break of all time, I’m finally coming back at you with another makeup post; it’s my long-overdue review of the Animal Crossing x Colourpop collection, no less! Between starting a new job and trying to re-establish a sense of routine in lockdown 3: electric boogaloo, I’ve been searching for some inspiration for a while. Testing out this highly-anticipated collection has been the kickstart I needed to get back into the blogging game, which I’m really happy about because I love it so much. After a fair few weeks of testing, keep reading to find out whether the Animal Crossing Collection is worth your coin!

Aldi Pixi Dupe? – Lacura Healthy Glow Rose Toner vs Rose Tonic

Hey everyone, I’m coming at you with another Aldi dupe (check out my Aldi ABH Norvina palette dupe post if you haven’t already) for this week’s beauty post; this time, it’s a skincare one! I was once again browsing the beloved middle aisle with a fine-toothed comb to see what bargains and dupes I could sniff out; it was there that I saw this absolutely blatant dupe for the Pixi Rose Tonic – the Lacura Healthy Glow Rose Toner!

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know that I absolutely love a natural, glowy look when it comes to my skin (check out my Revolution Glass Skin review for reference), however it’s often hard to find “rose” toners that don’t irritate my sensitive skin. It’s for this reason, along with my dislike for the Pixi Retinol Tonic (check out my review for more details) that I’m always a bit reluctant to make big purchases like the Pixi Rose Tonic for £18, when I’m not sure if my skin will even like it. Coming in at just £3.99, keep reading to find out how Lacura’s answer to Pixi’s cult product performed!

Aldi ABH Palette Dupe? – Lacura Moon Dust vs Norvina | In-Depth Comparison

Hey everyone, I’m coming at you this week with a long-overdue review of the Aldi Lacura Moon Dust Palette! If you’re looking at this thinking “this looks familiar!?” then no, your eyes aren’t deceiving you; Aldi are back at it again, this time choosing to tackle the legendary Anastasia Beverly Hills with their Norvina palette dupe. I haven’t tried the actual Norvina palette, but I’ve previously reviewed Subculture, Riviera and Modern Renaissance on here, so I’m familiar with the standards of the ABH formula.

When I saw this on the beloved middle aisle for £6.99 (the best part of going shopping in lockdown, to be honest), as opposed to ABH’s £46, I immediately knew that I had to snap it up and review it for you all. They also had a dupe of Modern Renaissance, but I wanted to get the one with a colour scheme that I don’t already have, so keep reading to find out whether Aldi have managed to effectively dupe the Norvina palette!

Blogoween Bitch Tries: Corpse Bride-inspired Eye Look | ep12

I know I haven’t been incredibly on it with the halloween content this year (well on my blog, anyway, if you follow me on instagram you’ll have seen that I’ve been doing some spooky baking and stuff where I can). It’s just been a really busy period for me lately and I’m slowly trying to sort of get a good routine back, but I had a lot of fun doing a mini photo shoot for this look, so I absolutely had to post about it.

I won’t include a review in this post like in my In The Tall Grass one from last year, as I feel like everyone has already seen this movie, and it’s no secret that I love it (and everything Tim Burton has to offer). That being the case, I decided to take full advantage of Corpse Bride being on Netflix, so keep reading to see a tutorial for the look that it inspired me to create!

My Highlighter Palette Collection

Hey everyone, I’m coming at you this week with another collection post as I really enjoyed doing my blush one, and it’s safe to say I have a lot of highlighters to show you guys. I thought I’d start off with my palettes in this post to split this category up, as I have a lot of single ones, so here we are!

If you know me, you’ll know that I’ve always loved highlighters a little too much, as I just think they’re so stunning and the perfect end to your makeup look. But anyway, enough gushing – keep reading to see what highlighter palettes I own so far, as well as some swatches so you can see my current colour palette!

My Blush Collection

Hey everyone, I’m coming at you with something a bit different this week, as we delve into my ever-growing blush collection! I didn’t used to be a fan of blush back in the old days, when I was more self-conscious about my skin, as I thought it’d just highlight the redness that I naturally have. However, with the emergence of the e-girl blush style where you take your blush higher and blend it onto your nose and up into your temples, I found a blush style that I think looks super cute and works super well on me, so I started to expand my collection. Keep reading to see what blushes I own so far, along with swatches of all of them so you can see my general colour palette!

Can the Boots Glow Skincare Range Give Me Affordable Dewy Skin?

Hey everyone, I’m coming at you for this week’s beauty post with an exciting skincare review of the new Boots Glow Skincare Range! If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know that my favourite thing ever is having dewy, healthy-looking skin, and I often turn to the Superdrug Naturally Radiant range that I posted about ages ago to give me that look.

However, and I feel like nobody ever really talks about this phenomenon(?), sometimes my skin goes off products and decides it doesn’t like something that worked really well for ages (let me know in the comments if you can relate), so I felt like I had to try something new. When I saw that Boots were coming out with their own dewy skincare range with such cute, pink packaging and such affordable prices at £4 a pop, I just had to give it a go. I ended up buying everything bar the toner (because I currently have 2 on the go), so keep reading to find out how I got on, and whether I found an alternative to my beloved Naturally Radiant!

L’Oréal & Nyx Superdrug Haul!

Hey everyone, I’m coming at you this week with a classic haul (because I cannot resist a bargain in any form), featuring products from Nyx and L’Oréal. I got an email from Superdrug saying that they had their 3 for 2 on and I jumped straight in there to replace my primer, everyday foundation and mascara as they were all running out. I also ended up piggybacking on my mum’s 3 for 2 to get a brow product too – so it’s safe to say I’ve milked the offer for all it’s worth. I ended up getting the Nyx High Glass Primer and their Born to Glow Foundation, as well as the Volume Million Feline Lashes Mascara and Micro Brow Tattoo Pen by L’Oréal; these are all products I’ve never tried before – so keep reading to check out my first impressions!

Huda Beauty Tantour in Fair – Is it Worth Your Coin? | ep3

Hey everyone, I’m coming at you this week with my long-awaited review of the Huda Beauty Tantour in Fair! as part of my new series where I tell you whether an expensive, trendy or over-hyped product is…worth your coin!

I hadn’t really been contouring for a while until quite recently, when I rediscovered my Sleek Contour kit (if you know, you know) from back in the early youtube beauty guru days when I reviewed it. After my blast from the past, I really wanted to get back into contouring, so when I saw this product on depop (check out my depop makeup post for the whole process etc), I just had to have it. The product normally retails for £26 and incorporates contouring with one of my favourite bits of makeup, (bronzing), and is a holy grail product for a lot of people I know, so keep reading to find out whether it lives up to the hype!

Juno & Co Microfibre Velvet Sponge – Is it Worth Your Coin? | ep2

Hey everyone, I’m coming at you with this week’s beauty post, which is part of what has accidentally become a series called “Is it worth your coin?”, where I test out overly-hyped products or things considered to be trendy or too-good-to-be true, and this product is no exception. (Check out the previous post in this series where I bought makeup from depop!) In today’s post, which has taken me a bizarre amount of time to proofread and upload (sorry guys), I’ll be giving you my honest review of the Juno & Co Microfibre Velvet Sponge – a sponge raved about by every influencer, their mum and their dog. I needed a new beauty sponge and I thought that this one looked intriguing; I just had to see what the hype was all about, so keep reading to find out whether this overly-sponsored sponge is worth your coin!
