My 2016 Skincare Wishlist

Your skin is the base if your makeup and should be maintained and well looked after in order for you to be looking flawless. There's nothing better than a little self-indulgence and feeling fresh as anything. I thought to follow on from my 2016 Makeup Wishlist I would give you my Skincare Wishlist which is not in any order of preference.

Mental Health: How To Cope With Depression

Firstly, I wanted to thank all of you for all the amazing support and feedback I received last week when I posted my experience with depression. It honestly means the world to me.

Mental Health: #InTheMind My Story

Mental health is an issue which is very much overlooked in comparison to any physical illness. However, recent events such as the hashtag #InTheMind which has been trending on Twitter and other campaigns to spread awareness and encourage understanding of mental illness, it is something which has been brought to the forefront. The simple fact is your mental health is just as important, or even more I would argue, as your physical health. It is important to look after yourself both physically and mentally.

Mental health problems are not something new and affect a great number of people. Statistics indicate that 10% of children aged 5-16 years old have clinically diagnosable mental health problems and 70% of children do not receive help early enough (Source).

The recent hashtag has compelled me to write this post as I believe that in order to encourage those who suffer from symptoms to seek help are to read the experiences of those who have a mental illness. Here is my story:

20 Drugstore Makeup Gems

 

Makeup is certainly one of the things that I spend most of my money on because it's expensive to look good nowadays.

However, I'm going to show you that you can find amazing products at affordable prices with drugstore brands because there's nothing like finding a bargain!

Foundation Review: MAC Face & Body, L'oreal True Match & Max Factor Facefinity

I recently bought my first ever MAC foundation and was compelled to write a foundation review. Foundations are my best friends - they make me seem that I have healthy, clear skin when the exact opposite is true! Finding a foundation that works for you is so important to have in your makeup bag and here are my findings with these products...

Lash-tastic Mascaras

I have been splurging recently and one thing I'm always on the lookout for is a good mascara. Forget diamonds, that's a girl's best friend. There's nothing like finding that mascara that just makes your eyes pop! I will be reviewing the more expensive mascara and the ones you can find at your local Boots/Superdrug or local drugstore. I know there's an innate perception that if a product is twice the price of another it must surely be better quality. I'm going to show you that that is absolutely not true!

Review: W7 Eyeshadow Palettes - In The Buff & In The Nude

Hey guys! Sorry, I know it's been a billion years since I've last blogged. I'm in my 3rd year at uni and the pressure is mounting! I recently splurged on some makeup so expect the posts to be regular in the coming weeks :)

One of the products I bought in the splurge was the w7 eyeshadow palettes - In The Nude & In The Buff. If you may not know - but you will guess soon enough - I am obsessed with eyeshadow palettes! To the extreme that even some friends have questioned my addiction and a mini-intervention had to be initiated. Ah well, we all have our flaws...
