Stand Out Products of 2017

My oh my did 2017 bring some A grade gems! I had quite the task on my hands to narrow it down to my absolute best-loved products including haircare, makeup, skincare and a fragrance that I couldn't believe I didn't discover sooner. 

A Few Drugstore Loves | January

How many months are in January because it feels like it's never ending, am I right? But let's push that unexplainable mystery aside and let's talk new drugstore loves. 

6 Self-Care Acts For Your Best Year Ever

2017 wasn't the year of self-care, mainly because the entire concept of practicing it wasn't as easy as it seemed and I was often left feeling deflated and despondent. The good news is that there are ways we can integrate self-care activities into our lives to boost our well-being, which is something I am determined to put into action in 2018. So it's time to put yourself first and make this your best year ever by taking care of you! 

The 2017 Look Fantastic Advent Calendar

Advent calendars are just one of my many favourite things about the holiday season because you get a surprise treat each day you move closer to December 25. I was researching beauty advent calendars and this particular one had an extremely positive reaction from their previous calendars, and that was more than enough for me to smash that 'add to cart' button! For today's post, I have gathered all my most-loved bits from this calendar to share with you and I'll also be giving you my thoughts on whether or not it's worth the purchase.

New Christmas Additions

I wasn't planning on doing one of these posts because for many people it comes across as boasting but then I thought, I shouldn't have to feel bad for wanting to share the wonderful goodies I was gifted last Christmas. Being the self-confessed beauty junkie that I am, it's no surprise that I have a bunch of new makeup and skincare additions here in this haul so let's get this post rolling shall we?!

The Gigi Hadid x Maybelline Collection

After a little hiatus during the Christmas and New Year period, I'm back to kick the year off with a brand new blog post! I've seen many negative opinions around the web about this range being subpar and not being worth the hype or money, and since I was gifted a bunch of Gigi's products last Christmas from her East Coast Glam and West Coast Glow, now is a better time than ever to give you my thoughts and feelings on this collaboration.
