15 Under 15 (With One Exception).

As a student, I don't have a lot of money to spend on fashion and beauty so I have to be incredibly careful with my purchases. You'll often catch me having a browse through NARS, MAC, Charlotte Tilbury, etc. but I never really buy anything from there. I'd say about 90% of my make-up is KIKO or Rimmel, with the odd exception being from a more expensive (or cheaper) brand. Here are 15 reasonably priced products, tried and tested, that I consider to be staple products...

My Make-Up: Then and Now.

The evolution of make-up and all things beauty fascinates me. I don't just mean formulas and how we are now able to completely change our faces, which really is one of the true beauties of make-up (pun definitely intended) but also the changes we make in our beauty regime. People that are now in their mid-20s went through stages of over fake tanning and buying pale MAC lipsticks, like Creme De Nude. My personal evolution has been slightly different...

Sephora Haul and Review.

I happen to be a Sephora member, which means they regularly update me on the latest trends, releases, discounts and deals. On my birthday, I received an email from Sephora saying that, as I was a member, they were going to send me a birthday present and three samples of my choice (out of a selected range). Sounds like a scam, I know - but it wasn't. The only thing I had to do was to buy anything from the website. They had a great amount of deals on at the time (and still do!).

A Short But Very Expensive Haul.

I like to consider myself to be quite responsible, someone that says no to buying a fedora hat because 'I'd never wear it' and a 80€ jumper from Topshop because 'it's just too much money'. This is my way of saving money. Well, it is until I see something that I really like and just think 'f*ck it' to myself. Here are some things that I've bought recently...

Sephora Value Sets - Blogmas Day 11.

This post should really be titled "The Best Thing on Earth", but I thought that might be pushing it a bit. Today I'm going to be talking about Sephora's Value Sets. They're basically sets of make-up, brushes, perfume... anything in the world of beauty, for just a fraction of the price. Some have a value of up to $500 dollars, available for just $60. A perfect Christmas gift, right?! Here are my favourite picks...

Winter Essentials - Blogmas Day 6.

I can't believe that I've now done Seasonal Essentials for both Summer and Autumn now! Time really is going by so fast. I love all seasons; when it's Summer, I want Winter and when it's Winter, I want Summer. One of the main reasons I love Winter is obviously Christmas. There's nothing quite like the lead up to it. I doubt I'll ever get sick of it. But enough about that, here's my Winter essentials...
