Green People Review | Cruelty-Free Beauty

I feel as though it's been the longest time since I sat down and wrote a post about an entirely new makeup brand. I say entirely new because until not too long ago I'd never actually tried anything from this brand, so therefore it's entirely new to me. The matter of the fact is they've been around for 20 years!

So who am I talking about?

Green People! For those of you who haven't yet heard of this brand, you're going to want to make a note of them (for reasons that will be touched upon within this post). Most importantly for myself, Green People is actually a completely cruelty-free beauty brand! Some of you may already be aware of the fact that I've gone cruelty-free with my beauty this past year and making that decision meant that I had to give up purchasing some of my favourite products from some of my favourite brands. At the same time it's meant that I'm trying to find new "favourites" in the process, so discovering another cruelty-free company opens up so many more options for someone like myself.

A KIKO Milano Haul

Evidently I am a makeup lover, hence why I created this blog in the first place. I like many others love to try out and experiment with new makeup and for so long I've been lusting after a variation of different products from Kiko, a brand that before now I had previously never tried before! 

That recently changed however, as rewind back to November when Black Friday sales were at their peak, I decided to place a pretty hefty order on Kiko's website. At the time they were having a Buy 6 Get 3 Free sale on and I quite simply couldn't pass on that incredible deal. As they were being shipped directly from Italy it ended up taking roughly two weeks to arrive, but I sat patiently and waited...well not literally!

Birchbox Review | My First Box

I've always been intrigued by the idea of beauty subscription boxes. You know, you pay a specified amount each month to have a box delivered to your door, filled with a selection of products. And whilst I've been yearning for one for the longest time, I've never taken the plunge and signed up for one. I contemplate far too much as to whether I will actually like the contents in the box and use each and every one of them, so I've been quite unsure if they'll actually be worth the money.

With that said, lets rewind back a few weeks ago. I was scrolling through Facebook when I saw an ad for Birchbox (darn ads...you got me again). I noticed that each box they were offering for December (which is unfortunately unavailable) came with a full size Ciate eyeliner priced at £15, and when the box itself costs £10 (plus £2.95 postage) it seemed like an absolute steal. I'm always one for trying new products and don't particularly like spending tons on higher-end ones that I may be unsure about. 

Winter Beauty Essentials / The 12 Days of Blogmas #5

 

As the colder months approach, I tend to lean towards different beauty products than those I would've relied on a couple of months ago. It's apparent that with the colder months comes drier skin, a higher chance of getting a cold and obviously a change in the beauty trends, so here are some of my beauty essentials to help me battle through this season!

A New Obsession // High End Beauty Wishlist

First of all, I'd like to apologise for not blogging for an entire week; I was so busy with uni and have been ill this entire week, but I'm getting back into the swing of things now!!

 

Anyway, I've recently really been obsessing over some high end products. I actually don't own many myself; I just have a few MAC products and a few random bits and bobs, but I'm very sceptical about paying such a hefty price on a product that could simply not be worth it. So I've done quite a bit of research to find out which products I think would actually be worth it.

I've chosen my top 6 products that I would really like to try at some point this year, so continue reading if you'd like to find out more!

 

Review: Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara!

Hello Lovelies,

 

Today I felt like doing a review on the Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara's. I know that these have actually been out for a while but I've only just gotten them in the last month or two. I have two of these mascaras, the black waterproof and black brown (non-waterproof).
Want to know what I think?? Then carry on reading...
