How To | Be An Early Riser

Click Here for Image Source

I am a morning person. I never sleep past 8:30 without waking up beforehand and the mornings aren't some vile time that shouldn't exist. A lot of people don't understand my ability to be so spritely at 7am or how I even get myself out of bed at 5:40am. Well let me tell you, its with great difficulty but I do it.

Under Inspection | Milani Illuminating Powder

Having to wait till spring to write up this post was a nightmare. Blog pictures are the bane of my life and honestly I was starting to think I'd just give up on writing my blog all together. Have no fear, I;m still here!
Milani is a brand that I haven't really tried much from. Sure I have a few blushes and eyeshadows but honestly I didn't even know the brand existed until I started watching Eleventh Gorgeous. I have fallen for the products I own just like any other beauty lover/hoarder would. 

This product in particular is perfect for those getaway sunny holidays. Why take three products when you can take just one? For me, as a pale girl, this works perfectly on my cheeks and provides not just blush, but highlight, and if applied carefully, bronzer too. Hello pretty skin on holiday.

It's light form and wonderful pigmentation catches the sun perfectly and is easy to correct if you make a mistake (like me the first few times I tried it).

If you haven't tried it please go and get your paws on this. Your holiday self will love me for it, especially if you are a pale girl like me!

If you have, let me know your thoughts on it!

March Favourites

Once again it is that time of the month. No not that one, the favourites time! Though there are a few less than last month as I've not really tried anything new!

Book Review | Champion by Marie Lu

Sometimes books can captivate the mind, body and soul. They can make you feel emotions and lose time. Sometimes there are books that should be great, and have great expectations for, but some how they fall short.

Brands I Am Yet To Try

The beauty world is full if so many names it can be overwhelming. Drugstore, Highend, Chanel to Rimmel, it can all get so confusing when it comes down it and no one has enough money to buy everything, from every brand.

Make Up Look | Neutrals

I hate my face in all of these pictures. But I was proud of my applications. 

Under Inspection | Estee Lauder Duo EyeShadow

I started watching Beauty Bloggers about a year and a half ago. Back then I never thought I would have my own blog, let along anyone who reads it. Thank you to those that do. This however is one of the first items I purchased after watching Zoellas everyday make up look video.

Links I Love | March

Another month over and another round up of posts I have loved. 

Book Review | Of Poseidon by Anna Banks

This book has not been talked about enough in the bookblogger/tuber world. Every one who reads and hasn't tried to read this series needs to get their hands on it immediately because it's possibly one of the best books I have ever read.

Hey It's Okay... To Run Out Of Ideas

I'm writing this while I am currently in the situation. I have no ideas, so I thought I'd ramble about having no ideas. About why thats okay and what to do in this situation. I am even finding this hard to write, I am having one of those kinds of days where nothing is floating around in my mind. 

Under Inspection | Sleek Eye and Cheek Palette

Sometimes I really like to be lazy. So lazy that when I go away having multiple products in one case is simply sublime and makes the sloth in me so ridiculously happy that packing and applying is cut in half. No trying to find products, they're all there in one place.

The Heart Monologues: Him at Uni

On Valentines day I bared my heart about my very own version of Chuck Bass. How we met and one of the earliest memories I have of him. Here's the next part of he story.

University wasn't the greatest time for me. Combined with not knowing what I wanted to do with my life, and not enjoying the course I had chosen I also had to deal with the love of my life acting like a complete twonk. 

March Wishlist

This month is all about Illamasqua. As it's one brand I haven't tried and yet there are so many products from the line that I would like get my hands on.

Book Review | Fire Storm by Lauren St. John

Every now and then I like to read something completely different to what I am used to. I walked into Waterstones and found a book with coloured pages which caught my attention. Reading the blurb I found that it wasn't something I would normally read, but it was still interesting enough to get me to want to know the end. So I bought it. 

Top Ten Everyday Items

People say you shouldn't care about material things, but these days there are just some items you use everyday and can't go without. For me there aren't many so I've added a few to make it up to ten!

Dupe Alert | Mac Vs. Maxfactor

There are a few things I like but nothing satisfies my beauty blogger heart like finding the same product for a fraction of the price. Lip liner is something I wear most days as I find it keeps my lipstick where I need it so finding a good quality one for a small price is perfect.

Under Inspection | Smashbox Photo Finish Primer

Primer is something that I never thought was needed in a make-up routine. I have gotten myself ready on numerous occasions, slept in my make up and woken up as if nothing has moved countless times. Beauty Guru's don't hate on me just yet. I've gotten comments like "You woke up like that?" and "How do you look so good when I feel so bad" but honestly I never saw it.

Body Confidence.

In the past few months the internet has lit up with the same topic – Body Confidence. There’s a lot of love-hate relationships when it comes to body confidence, and everyone has their own opinions. Plus what people say and do can always be complete opposites. For me, as an example, I like to tell people they don’t need to worry about the way they look, or what size they are.

Book Review | The Disappearances by Gemma Malley

Sequels have a lot of expectations to meet when the first books are so good. Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and Divergent all succeeded with this and they have gone on to be movies. This book series has got my attention and I am sweating at the palms waiting for payday so I can buy the third book.

March TBR

Getting up an hour early just so I can read is definitely one of my favourite parts of they day. No not the getting up but the reading. Sometimes being whisked away to a world where everything seems to be going right is better than another day slugging away at the office. 

Evening Beauty Routine

I've never done one of these posts and honestly I'm not even sure how to begin with this! As I'm a very lazy beauty blogger I don't use a lot of products on my face. Yes that's mainly out of laziness but its also because sometimes water is your best friend too!

Under Inspection | Estee Lauder Blush

Finding blush for pale skinned people is like finding a needle in a haystack. However, I think I have finally done it! I love this blush.
