Birchbox Goodies // April 2019

I'm writing this having just watched the latest Game of Thrones episode so bear with - I'm a bit emotionally fragile right now! (If you haven't seen it yet you are in for 90 minutes of OH MY CHRIST) A little bit late with this month's Birchbox post; I've started back at school again so it's been a little bit crazy but I figured I'd get this out while I've still got 2 days of the month left! This month's box is inspired by the healing power of crystals and enhancing your natural glow from within. Now, I don't really believe in crystal healing but I am all about that inner glow (plus they're beautiful to look at) so I was pretty excited by this box design! This month, I received a Benefit POREfessional primer, an ESTATE highlighter, an eye mask from Vitamasques, a Human+Kind moisturiser and an eye cream from Balance Me. ESTATE Cosmetics Dew Me Baked Highlighter in "Afterglow" RRP £10 Ok, so I wasn't really looking forw...

Little Ways You Can Help the Planet // Earth Day 2019

It's Earth Day and our planet is dying. Our beautiful green Earth is under threat; we are the biggest threat both to the animals that we share this planet with and to our own futures. You might be a bit sick of all this talk about environmentalism right now, but these conversations need to keep happening until we make changes to the way we occupy this world. I've been watching David Attenborough's new Netflix series, Our Planet. I've grown up with his wonderful documentaries - Blue Planet first aired when I was 7. Watching Attenborough's newest series has shown me just how much we have damaged the earth in those 17 years. We only have ourselves to blame. It's up to us to fix it and we are running out of time. It can feel quite hopeless when you look at the destruction we have inflicted on the Earth, but if everyone made some simple changes to the way they live their lives, it would make all the difference in the world. I've made a little list of some of ...

The Cherry On Top // Urban Decay Naked Cherry Palette Review

Wow I'm actually sitting down to review something that isn't a Birchbox 😂 I've been meaning to write this post since October when I got this palette, but as usual school and other life stuff have meant it's taken until now to do! RRP £42 This palette originally launched in September as a new instalment of Urban Decay's Naked series. I was really excited by it, as it's very different to all of the other Naked palettes out there and I'm a sucker for anything remotely pink-toned. It retails for £42, making it one of the more expensive palettes in the Naked series, and inside are 12 beautiful berry-toned shades: Hot Spot - a matte ivory shade. I always use these for setting my eyeshadow primer and as a browbone highlight shade. Caution - a neutral matte beige. Bang Bang - a pink shimmer. Feelz - a dusty rose matte shade. Juicy - a peachy pink matte. This is a great transition shade. Turn On - a gorgeous rose-gold metallic shade. Ambitio...
