5 Months of Beauty Favourites

It is safe to say that I've been slacking on the blogging front - for this blog, at least, as I do actually have a shiny new blog which has taken up quite a bit of my time over the last few months. However, today I'm here to catch you up on all of my 2017 beauty favourites, and I'll walk through all of the products that I've been using regularly over the last five months. Prepare yourself for a hefty dose of beauty recommendations, most of which I would happily repurchase again and again (sadly, L'Oreal let the team down on this one)

Review: Caudalie Vine Activ

A couple of months ago, I was very kindly invited along to Caudalie's VineActiv press event and I was gifted the three new VineActiv products (and the re-packaged Overnight Detox Oil). At the event, I learnt a lot about the VineActiv range and realised that they happened to be pretty spot-on for my skin type and my lifestyle. They're specifically designed for those aged 25-35 years old and they're highly suitable for anyone living in a city where there is a lot of pollution. As I turn 25 years old in July, and I live in London, I felt like I was a good candidate to test them out. I've been using them for a few months now and I'm ready to report back on my experience with them.

6 Mad Men Lipstick Shades (For Every Budget)

Over the last few months I've been watching Mad Men. In fact, I've watched every episode and during each one I've experienced some form of makeup envy. Not only did Mad Men remind me that everyday attire used to be incredibly formal, but the makeup was very different too; "bold"makeup (by my standards, anyway) was once considered an every day necessity. During the 60s, red lipstick wasn't reserved for dinner dates and parties, in fact, it was practically mandatory - serving as a big red indicator that a woman was fully and properly dressed.
