New In from Barry M

All products are available at Superdrug

Some of the first beauty products I ever owned were from Barry M, does anyone remember Dazzle Dust?

Barry M have some gorgeous new releases this winter, and I have to say, I'm so impressed with them!

As well as some pretty wintry shades to add to the classic Nail Paint collection, they have added some new nail ranges. There are some new purple and glittery shades in the Aquarium range, with metallic and holographic effects. The Silk range has also gained some darker, jewel-toned shades, perfect for this time of year.

There is also a brand new Glitterati Nail range, which is so glittery and sparkly!

In addition to their nail products, they have also released two new Showgirl mascaras, for Volume and Lengthening. I love the packaging on these, and the fat wands make for big lashes!

There are also new eye palettes, which I absolutely love. I think they look so much more expensive than they actually are! I tried out the Natural palette, the limited edition Starry Eyed, which features some gorgeous bronze and berry tones, and also the exclusive to Superdrug in Super Chic, which features some interesting brighter yet very wearable shades. 

For the longest time i've longed for Barry M to have some pressed shadows, and now they have brought these to the table I am super impressed. Being the "oh-so-adventurous" person that I am with makeup, I love the more neutral shaded palette & the muted tones in the nail polish collection. Although i'm sure i'll crack open the glittery ones closer to Christmas, or maybe pass them onto Louise as she is a glitter magpie!

Too Faced Christmas Collection


How cute are these Christmas releases from Too Faced? As soon as I saw all the gold, pink and glittery packaging, I knew there was going to be something exciting inside! 

The whole range would make perfect gifts for any beauty lover, or even someone new to makeup and beauty, as the sets feature a range of products and so have something for everybody.

I especially love the eyeshadow palettes, they have a huge range of shades ranging from gorgeous neutrals to sparkly jewel-toned shades perfect for Christmas parties and special occasions.

The lipstick trio would make a lovely stocking filler and includes three really pretty pink shades, and comes in the cutest sparkly pink purse.

So far, these Too Faced collections have been a Christmas gift giving dream. I can't picture anyone who WOULDN'T love these. They make for great stocking fillers and not to mention that Too Faced is a brand I've been absolutely loving recently. Their mascara "Better Than Sex" has been my most reached for mascara for a very long time and the eyeshadows are perfect. There is something within this range for everyone and they've kept the eyeshadow shades perfectly put together.

Tarte Blushes

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Blush in Flush, Dazzled and Captivating

I'd never tried any of Tarte's amazing rich, highly pigmented Amazonian Clay Blushes, so was really excited to hear there's now an easy way to buy them in the UK. A range of Tarte products are now available online at QVC, including a number of shades of these classic Blushes.

The blushes have an amazing colour to them that can be easily blended in to create the look you want. They can be layered up for a bright, colourful look, or lightly applied for a really natural glow. I love using the darker shades for contouring too, some of the more brown-toned shades work great as bronzers also. 

The packaging is beautiful, the little mirrored compact is so handy and I love that the outer packaging is the same shade as the inner product, making them so easy to grab the colour you want out of the drawer. The simple outer hides a really lovely imprint on the inner blush compact too, which is a lovely little extra.

My favourite shade is definitely Captivating, which is being picked up a lot more than the other two at the moment. Although I do feel like it's a bit more of a summery shade and that flush is a lot more apt for this time of the year here in the UK, what with winter just around the corner.

Santorini | The Missed Photos




I apologise now if you just scrolled through those images tucked up under a blanket listening to the rain pouring outside (That's what i'm currently experiencing myself). I just stumbled across the other half of all the holiday pics I snapped in Santorini and couldn't NOT share them (since I was originally going to anyway). 

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the colder months and everything Autumnal and Wintery, but looking back through these photos I now have complete holiday envy and want to go back. I absolutely loved it, and during these past few months I have probably been the most busy I have ever been in my entire life and I feel like that little getaway was SO lovely (and it feels so long ago). 

I hope you guys liked seeing more of these photos, let's pretend we're all cosied up together under the blanket whilst it's raining outside, just flicking through the holiday albums together. :)
