BEAUTY | The Tale of Two Palettes

When I first planned this post, I was prepared to pit these two palettes against one another. I have since seen the error of my ways. It was like Sophie's Choice, albeit not as dramatic! Actually, I'm willing to bet that it was just as dramatic! Who says I can't love them both equally?!

BEAUTY | A Face Full of First Impressions

With my recent trip to the US and the inevitable haul that came from it, I found myself with a lot of products I'd never used before! Like the title suggests, today's post is a face full of first impressions . Basically I'm putting some new stuff on my face, and then telling you all what I think about it!

BEAUTY | USA Haul

No trip to America is complete without sampling the beauty goods on offer! I didn't venture out of my usual haunts too much, although having now experienced the wonders of Ulta, I think I've found a new fave! I did stick to Target & Walmart for the drugstore side, I just found they were cheaper in comparison to the likes of Walgreens and CVS. Let's dive in, because we've got a lot to get through..
