Spring is a wonderful time for new beauty discovery. For one thing, there’s enough daylight to actually take the opportunity to see your best attempts with your new eyeliner. For another, everything feels fresh and new and pretty. Case in point: Last week’s post about Easter egg nails. Seriously, I’ll be rocking these shades for… Continue reading GlossyBox unboxing – April 2017, the case of the missing products
Since last summer I have been colouring my hair. Usually blue. Blue, blue-green, blue-purple, galaxy hair, unicorn hair, all blue. Lately, for various reasons, I’ve started weaning myself off the blue. I’ve got a good layer of brown hair on top and a layer of blue hair underneath. In all likelihood, it’ll be all brown… Continue reading Product review: TIGI Bed Head Colour Goddess Shampoo and Conditioner
After having had blue, blue-green and blue-purple hair since June, I decided it was time to mix things up a bit. I’ve loved having blue hair, its been one of the best style decisions I’ve ever made. It cheered me up every time I looked in the mirror and every time I saw a kid… Continue reading New hair
In 2016 I stepped up my beauty game. I still insisted on being lazy almost 100% of the time, which for me means no makeup and my hair gets washed and combed before I go out, but not usually styled. However, on the occasions when I wanted to make an effort, I made sure that… Continue reading Favourite beauty finds of 2016
Someone shared a link on Facebook saying they were taking a seven day challenge on Buzzfeed with the goal of getting better curls. While click-bait annoys me as much as it does the next person, I actually have time for Buzzfeed. It’s actually successful in getting people to read (and engage with) news and it… Continue reading Why I didn’t do Buzzfeed’s better curls challenge
Anyone who follows me on almost any other internet platform will already know this because I couldn’t resist putting up photos but, I changed my hair on Friday. I mean, really changed it. This is the change I was hinting at not long ago when I reviewed a sulphate-free shampoo by The Body Shop. I… Continue reading I changed my hair
I haven’t done a product review in a while so I thought I’d share this one, partly because it’s about putting my money where my mouth is. Way back in February I wrote this about parabens in products. Long story short; parabens are preservatives but will do you no harm. If you’re ultra paranoid and… Continue reading Product review: The Body Shop Rainforest Balance Shampoo for Oily Hair
If you think this seems like an awfully late unboxing post, you’re right. About midway through May I realised I hadn’t received my Glossybox, and looked up my email for when it had been dispatched. Supposedly it should have arrived within the first week of May, so I looked up the tracking info. Royal Mail… Continue reading Glossybox May Unboxing
I have curly hair. Curly/wavy, fly-away, infuriating, untameable hair. The kind of hair I can blow dry and straighten and fly with miracle products, but after sitting perfectly still for 20 minutes in an indoor environment with controlled temperature and humidity, it will have gone back to being curly, tangled and wild. You learn to… Continue reading Not washing my hair: An experiment
I always get excited about getting my Glossybox these days and I’m already dreading the day my 6 month subscription runs out. I’ll be very tempted to renew it. I’m also getting super annoyed with the postie who seems to really enjoy playing knock-a-door-run with my parcels. I did not enjoy my trek up to… Continue reading Glossybox March Unboxing
