Christmas Beauty Goodies

*Disclaimer* This is not me showing off or boasting, I was a very lucky girl and am delighted with all my presents. I thought this would be of relevance and interest to beauty blog readers.

Christmas has sadly been and gone but the beauty of beauty gifts is that you get to feel Christmassy whenever you use them. 2012 bought the Naked palette into my life and such is the power of Urban Decay I haven't hit pan on any of the shades even after a year of use.

New Year, New Changes

Hello!

I'm back after a small break where I lost my mojo and had lots of essays to write. The end of term is always a nightmare.

Anyway, 2014 is upon us (what?!) and I'm aiming to get at least one post up a week, possibly on a Wednesday. I might also branch out a little, the main focus will be beauty, or the name of the blog becomes a bit pointless, but there might be the odd lifestyle or food post popping up. I'm hoping to fit everything around writing my dissertation.

Review: Sleek Vintage Romance Palette

This is a palette I've been after for a while, ever since I first saw the sneak peek blog posts. I knew I needed it. I eventually caved last week and bought it. I regret nothing.

La Roche-Posay Round Up

Better late than never...

La Roche-Posay is the French pharmacy brand to end all French pharmacy brands. Here's a summary of what I've tried and loved from them.

Bourjois Lipstick Review

This is a lipstick I purchased a while ago but kept forgetting to review. It's Rouge Edition in the shade 17 Rose Millesime. It's a bright pink, but doesn't come out too strong on your lips, which makes a perfect in-between shade when you're not sure which part you want to play up. It's unlike any other I have which is why I picked it up.

Review: Omorovicza Deep Cleansing Mask

Another What's In My Handbag? try today. This times is a blogger cult face mask from Omorovicza - the Deep Cleansing Mask.

If I'm honest, I'm not sure I bought into the hype. It's lovely, I did notice a bit of a difference in my skin, it works as a spot treatment too. But I just didn't love it. I think part of the reason in the price it's £57 for 50ml. *gulps* I'm sure the ingredients are brilliant, but as a student I just don't have that kind of money.

Life Update

Time for me to get back into the swing of blogging on a slightly more regular basis. I'm in my third year of university now and work has really stepped up a gear. With history you have hours and hours of free time a week but lots of reading to do as well. As well as work for two modules, I've got my dissertation to write as well!
