As a lover of all things metal (except power metal, 'cos y'know) and as a festival veteran, I was truly gutted that I wasn't able to attend the festival this year.

Beauty | May Product Empties & Speedy Reviews

It's that time of the month again!   ...oh no, not that time, but empty product time.

Wooooosh...It's the end of May already.

Lifestyle | Bank Holiday Weekend Haul

It's a rare day that I get to take myself off shopping these days, so this weekend I took full advantage of some plans falling through and off I went.

 
I'm so happy with the few small bits I picked up that I just had to share....

Beauty | Products I Would Never Buy Again

This may be a bit of a controversial choice of products, I know at least 2 of these items are well loved by many Bloggers out there but sadly they just don't butter my muffin.

Beauty | First Time Tanning With Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan

Let's get down to business; I'm a pale girl

 

A super pale girl.

Beauty | The Concealer Edit

Over the years I've tried many, MANY products to hide my poor skin enhance my pretty face.  I've suffered with acne for over 17 years.

 

Yes, seventeen years!

 

Since my early teens and now, even in my thirties I still wouldn't say my skin is acne free but it has improved a hellva lot. I put this improvement down to the treatments I had in my teens, followed by years on a specific contraceptive pill (Dianette).  But as I recently changed to the contraceptive implant my skin has reacted a little too teenage for my liking.....(TMI or what?)

 

I know people say you shouldn't cover blemishes with make up, but who are they kidding I've never really been a fan of green/ redness neutralising products.  To be honest I don't tend to get a lot of redness, rather I look for a product that would compliment my foundation shade well and has good staying power - just that extra something to hide those pesky wee blights I'm a pale girl, I tend to use the lightest shade foundation in most brands and I find that concealer can be quite limited in the shade offering. 

 

These are my favourite concealers as of late
