  • Beauty Bomb // L’Oreal-a-palooza

    Beauty Bomb // L’Oreal-a-palooza

    I’ve said it before somewhere that I never get too adventurous with my makeup. I think if I had to describe my ‘look’ it would be ‘minimalist’. I couldn’t live without moisturiser, a decent BB cream and the blackest eyeliner and mascara combo I can manage. L’Oreal Trinidad & Tobago was kind enough to give…

    Beauty Bomb // Batiste Dry Shampoo

    Pretty sure it’s no secret to anyone that I’m ridiculously low maintenance when it comes to my hair. I mean I do my duty and wash it twice a week, but I take no pleasure in the preening and styling that many girls do. I guess I have neither the patience nor the hand-eye coordination to…

    TRESemmé 7 Day Keratin Smooth Giveaway!

    Who doesn’t love a giveaway? No one…that’s who. And today I have a fab TRESemmé 7 Day Keratin Smooth Treatment System to give away to one of you lucky ladies (or gents…because an alarming number of my male friends apparently get keratin treatments).  I’ve had no experience with keratin, because I was born with annoyingly straight hair and…

    Beauty Bomb // April Birchbox

    These Birchboxes are coming hard and fast…I’m not sure I have the stamina to keep up with collecting one every month, so I have a feeling these posts will always be a bit…behind the times. This Birchbox was ok…a fair bit of meh in my opinion but then…so it go. I was pretty hyped about the…

  • Beauty Bomb // March Birchbox

    Beauty Bomb // March Birchbox

    Hot on the heels of my February Birchbox (which, to be fair, was quite late), was…you guessed it, my March Birchbox (so yes…I’m posting this late). Now I’d ruined the surprise for myself and snuck a peek at the products I was getting for March – slightly underwhelming, but that’s the nature of this subscription…

  • Beauty Bomb // February Birchbox

    Beauty Bomb // February Birchbox

    I was inspired to look into the beauty subscription service – Birchbox – after watching unboxing videos by one of the YT girls I subscribe to LeighAnnSays. I love samples, and I also love travel-sized anything, so it made perfect sense to me to pay a fixed amount every month to get a grab bag/box…
