Oh So Rosie!

Who doesn't love a good pamper? I mean I love a good pamper but I suck at arranging to get pamper time in, I get distracted, or the cleaning needs doing, and pamper time becomes no more. Recently my skin has been playing up, thanks to air conditioning, central heating and the weather, so I have had to hold this review off for a little while until my skin was feeling a little more up to adding a new product into its regime. However when an evening became free and with nothing else to do than have a good pamper session it seemed like the perfect opportunity to whip out this Jivesse Collagen and Gold Youth Defining Mask*. Sheet masks have been around for a little while, but I was slightly wary of them. Were sheet masks just a bit of a new beauty fad or could the industry be on to something here? The sheet is saturated in product and when you place the mask on top of your skin the only thing the skin can do is take in the product, and I can imagine with a re...

Now, I am picky when it comes to brow products, either the application isn't great, the colour is off, or the product is too damn expensive. So I was dubious when the Brow Shake Filling Powders* landed on my doorstep. What would the colour be like? What would the application be like? and what would the finished look, look like? This product is a powder (hence the name), and this is something which I am quite drawn to. I tend to find pencils just don't work for me, and although I like gels and creams, nothing quite beats a powder. Something which can be a massive bug bear for me is when high-street products create brow products that are extremely warm in tone, my brows are quite cool. So finding a good staple high street brand to fulfil my needs can be some what tricky. Having said this I am pretty pleased with the tones and colours of this collection. I am currently using the medium brown shade which in fairness is quite a good match for my cooly toned brows. With t...

It was only when I had time off over Christmas that I realised that I must have been seriously unhappy in my previous job. I realised that the period between Christmas and New year is definitely a time when people reflect on the year and think about what they would like to achieve in the coming year. Hygge flatlay  I sat down and thought about what I had achieved in 2016, and I came to realise I hadn't achieved much. At the end of 2015 I was so consumed in hating on my job that I didn't even make any plans to better myself for 2016. My one goal for 2016 was to get a job I liked. It sounds bad because in actual fact I was pretty good at my previous job, and I even got a promotion whilst I was there but I just felt like I wasn't good enough. I was the only person out of my friendship group (and pretty much everyone I knew) that worked in retail. I felt like my job was crap and I wasn't worthy of anything else, and I got so consumed that I became a negative pe...

God, I feel like the worst blogger ever, I've had this palette since christmas and its taken me (what feels like) years to blog about it. Sometimes though I feel like - 'do we need really need to review Urban Decay?' Because they always deliver, always. And Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics does just that. Delivers. For those of you who are new to Urban Decay and are still unsure, every single eyeshadow I've tried from UD has been a great experience, they are soft as butter, blend easily and even for those of you who are new to makeup will find these easy to work with. Obviously sometimes I don't love the colour, but the user experience is always amazing. The Ultimate basics is a beautiful palette full of matte shades, and one demi matte called 'blow' although I would kind of say its a satin finish. But whatever UD you can have Demi- Matte if you feel like it.  The others are all Browns, Mauves, and Greys; so all extremely...
