Nip + Fab Viper Venom Skin Fixes


As you may have seen lately on Instagram or elsewhere on the internet, Kylie Jenner has recently been announced as Nip + Fab's new ambassador, which undoubtedly (as happens with any of the Kardashian/Jenner clan!) will bring a huge amount of attention to a brand which, until now, seems to have been a little bit under the radar. I have been using a couple of items from their Viper Venom range since Christmas, and thought this was a great time to post a review, as there may now be more of you out there who are interested in these products and what they can do.

Cleansers Galore - Clinique, The Body Shop and Neutrogena


Since noticing that the grand old age of 25 was swiftly approaching (and is now a reality!), I had the sudden realisation that skincare should really be higher on the agenda. Prior to this, skin care and looking after my skin wasn't really on my radar. I would moisturise most days, but usually only with whatever moisturiser happened to be cheapest or on offer; I always made sure to wear sunscreen in the summer, but didn't bother in winter; I always took my makeup off before bed (something my mum instilled in me as soon as I started wearing makeup!) but only with face wipes. And I never exfoliated. You get the idea - I had good intentions, but pretty much had no clue what I was doing! So I realised that I had to up my skincare game. I read up on skincare "do's and don'ts" and started to switch up my routine, step by step.

Seasonal Skin Care - Your Skin Needs You!


First off - I must apologise for my horrendously long absence! Just when I was finding my feet with this whole blogging thing, I had one helluva busy summer (not in a good way!) and just couldn't find the time or inspiration. BUT - I have just turned 25 (oh my GOOOODDD where did that come from, surely I am still 17, no?!) and I am most definitely back with avengeance. So, sorry to keep you waiting - I hope you enjoy!

Recently, my summer long, fail proof skin care routine had been letting me down big time - I was suddenly getting super oily after only a couple of hours wearing my trusty Stay Matte BB cream, or Maybelline Eraser concealer, and I was having break outs all over the shop. Not a pretty sight! And for the life of me, I just couldn't understand why...
