Although I am, as I said in my previous post, considering the long-term future of this blog, the idea for this series of posts has been in the works for a little while, so here it is! In approaching the end of 2018, I’m also reaching the end of my first full year of wearing makeup and actually giving a damn about skincare: so it … Continue reading Beauty Stars of 2018
The sharp-eyed among you will notice that the blog has been quiet for a little while; I’m afraid the combination of the run up to Christmas and some ongoing health concerns has diverted my attention somewhat!

The thought for this post came to me while chatting with my lovely sister-in-law the other evening. One of the truly wonderful things about makeup is that there is no one right way to do it.

No excuse, I know! So – on with it! This month’s Birchbox design is the most beautiful yet, for someone like … Continue reading [REVIEW] Birchbox – September

And of course they’ve done it in the way that only Urban Decay can, complete with YouTube funeral, attended by “badasses and beauty influencers” and with a eulogy given by Nicole Richie.
