Six Products You Should Keep Around For Perfect Winged Liner

6 Products to get Perfect Winged Liner Every Time: Bioderma, Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara, Kat Von D Tattoo Liner, Urban Decay Waterline Pencils, Shu Uemura Lash Curler

Winged eyeliner, or a cat eye/feline flick as it's also known, has to be one of the trickier techniques to nail when you're learning makeup. We've all seen that meme floating around about trying to make one eye match the other until you get to the point of total blackout. It's those famous last words, "I'll just add a little more to this side to even them out..." (15 minutes later, and now your winged liner can be seen from space...). Today's post is a collection of products/tips that I use to get my wings flying even (see what I did there?) every time, sans panic induced hold-your-breath-and-go-for-it application.

The Accessory Edit : What I've Been Loving Lately & Discount Code

Daniel Wellington Watch Discount, Stella & Dot Summer 2016 Jewellery

You may not know this about me, but in my former life I was a metalsmith (for almost 10 years!). This means I have made a lot of jewellery and accessories over the years, and pretty much never bought myself anything up until recently. As you may have read last week though, I'm obsessed with my new Daniel Wellington Classic Bristol Watch*, which has had me thinking about switching up my new accessories again. I get asked a lot about the rings I wear in my pictures, so I thought I'd do a post all about accessorizing! Keep reading to see read about which pieces I wear everyday, and the new ones I am loving for summer (along with a fab discount code!).

Three New Wish List Worthy Products from Marc Jacobs Beauty


Marc Jacobs Summer 2016 Glow Stick, Velvet Noir Mascara and Le Marc Lip Creme in True

A brand that seems to wax and wane in terms of talk and exposure online is Marc Jacobs Beauty. That might possibly be because it is only exclusive to Sephora in North America, or because it's priced as the luxury brand that it is. Regardless, I rarely find a product from the range that I don't love, and three of the latest launches have impressed me whole heartedly! Readers wallets beware: the wish list might be growing after reading the following post...

Too Faced Says "Go Ahead and Get Wet" with Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara


Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara Review with Before and After

By now you've heard of the infamous mascara that claims to be better than a romp in the hay. You've heard all the innuendos and cheeky comments associated with the name and possibly even made up your own mind about where the name lives up to its claim. So how can a brand one up a product that had everyone talking from the minute it launched? They can make it waterproof. Enter in Too Faced's Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara, which has the brand telling us all to, "Go ahead and get wet" (insert the blushing emoji here!). I reviewed the original mascara and though it was just ok, so does the waterproof outperform? Keep reading to see my review with before and afters!

The Cult Classic: Guerlain Terracotta Bronzer

Guerlain Terracotta Bronzer 4 Seasons 03 Brunettes review and swatch

When it comes to some beauty brands, there is a star product that the range becomes famous for. When it comes to bronzers, that brand is no doubt Guerlain. The brand that has been in the business of beauty since 1828 (yep, you read that right!) now sells one of their renowned Terracotta Bronzers every 25 seconds around the world. How's that for a cult classic? I recently picked up one of the highly hyped powders to try out to what all the fuss was about, keep reading for my review!

Latest Love: Daniel Wellington Classic Bristol + Discount Code


Nine years ago Mr. GLG bought me a DKNY watch for my birthday, and I've worn it every day since. Then about a year ago I started seeing Daniel Wellington watches pop up here and there and instantly fell in love with the unisex vibe, wide leather straps and oversized face. They we're completely different to the dainty silver watch I was used to and immediately put the Classic Bristol 36mm in Rose Gold on my wish list for my birthday in a few weeks. Last week I finally got my hands on my very own Daniel Wellington and not only did it exceed my expectations and then some, but the good folks there offered up a generous discount code for you all!

Going Where No Mascara Has Gone Before: MAC Pro Beyond Twisted Lash Mascara

MAC Pro Beyond Twisted Lash Mascara Review with before and after

The last few years have shown us some incredible innovations in terms of mascara wands haven't they? Gone are the days of the standard ole spiral brush - we're seeing every shape under the sun, from hourglass to conical, spikes to combs, and everything in between. One thing we haven't seen however is much innovation in terms of the actually wand, that is until now. Enter in MAC's new Pro Beyond Twisted Lash Mascara into the mix and we've got a bit of a game changer...

Just In Time For Summer : Urban Decay Beached Bronzer

Urban Decay Beached Bronzer Review and Swatch

Urban Decay has been on fire lately with both limited edition collections and new launches. I feel like the brand has been hitting home runs left right and center and with the soon-coming launch of the 100+ Vice Lipstick range I have no doubt they will continue to impress. I recently raved about the Afterglow Highlighters and in that same launch were the new Beached Bronzers, complete with palm tree motif packaging perfect for summer!

This Just In : Kat Von D Shade + Light Eye Quad in Rust

Kat Von D Shade+Light Eye Quad in Rust Review and Swatches

When the Kat Von D cosmetic range launched a few years back, I really wasn't sure it would grow up to have the impact it's having in the beauty world. A few revamps later, and it's becoming a legitimate colour line that spans neutral to bold colour choices seamlessly whilst offering some seriously superior textures. With the original Shade+Light Contour Palette, and Shade+Light Eyeshadow Palette being massive commercial hits, I had no doubt that when I heard the brand was launching Shade+Light Eye Quads, they would smash it. I managed to get my hands on Rust, the warmest of the our that were launched, so keep on reading for swatches and my review!

Urban Decay's Alice Through the Looking Glass Palette

Urban Decay's Alice Through The Looking Glass Movie Palette

As little girl, I fell in love with Wonderland. Everything from the White Rabbit, to the Mad Hatter, to the Chesire Cat and hookah smoking Caterpillar had me captivated. Alice, with her curiosity and sense of adventure lured me right in and Lewis Carroll's stories of Alice and the quirky characters she crossed will always be some of my very favourite. 
So naturally, when I saw that one of my all time favourite brands, Urban Decay were collaborating with Disney's 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' film on a collection, I was a little beside myself. I don't think I've ever torn into a package so quickly as I did this one, and have been so eager to collect some thoughts and swatches for you!

When They Can't All Be Winners : Products That Just Didn't Work For Me

Product Letdowns from tarte, Colourpop, Too Faced, Vita Liberata and Blinc

As a beauty blogger and all round makeup hoarder (the first step is admitting a problem...) it's in my nature to want to try all the latest and greatest, hyped up products out there. There are times where I've bought things because others loved them, only to be left disappointed, and other times products have been panned in reviews and I adore them! That's just life, and let's face it - they can' all be winners can they? Today's post is spotlighting five products that just didn't work for me.
