New Glue, HBU?*

As a false lash obsesso, I'm always on the hunt for dece lash glues that'll hold my look in place & not betray me with a half-hanger-off situ. Until now, I've bulk bought Eylure lash glue off eBay [cos I'm poor AF & tbh, boring & always end up buying the same sh*t out of habit] - but I was recently sent this Kiss Strip Lash Adhesive* with Aloe Vera which has changed up my lash game a  fair bit. 

It's gentle, dries clear, is totes contact lense friendly [as yes, I am very short-sighted in my old age & rely on my lenses to function as a human] and available in ya local Boots for £3.49 [oh plus it's currently on offer in there too, #winning] - meaning it's a lot more accessible than putting an offer in online & waiting 2-5 business days for your adhesive to arrive.

New In Skincare : July / August 2018

I've started putting way more effort into my skincare game recently. I always complain about my rancid face, the oil slicks that pure form on me giant fod & the fact that I'm getting that old now, I'm practically fossilised... but I've never really got off my lazy arse and done anything about it. 

Introducing some of the skincare baes I've been using over the past few weeks to sort me life out; making my face more tolerable for all who cross its terrifying path. There's a few brands & products in today's post - all of which I've been trying out this month... alongside a few others that I haven't featured in today's review, but which I will include in other post[s] I have planned.

Not All Heroes Wear Capes... This One's In A Project*

You may have seen, on my Insta stories, that there's a new product in town that's stolen my heart recently. I posted a few skincare chats on there the other night, where I showed this bad boy in action [and, shortly after, my makeup free face had promptly lost me about 20 followers, hahahahah; thanks huns for confirming that my face truly is certified as rancid.] 

Whereas my mug is almost certainly deemed a sick joke, this miracle product is anything but that; instead being branded a hero, bae, life-partner and game changer within my skincare regime. I'm talking about, of course, the Undo Waterproof Eye Makeup Eraser* from The Hero Project; keep reading for all the reasons why it's a must have in every #bblogger's life & why this brand are so damn on fleek.

What Are These Fatty Deposits on My Neck and How Can I Get Rid of Them?*

What is a Fatty Deposit?

*Sponsored post

Having an unexplained mass growing in your neck (or anywhere for that matter) can be embarrassing and alarming. These deposits are usually very large and noticeable, and can sometimes be painful. Although these deposits of fat can affect people of all ages, they most commonly occur in middle-aged adults. 

The medical term for these fatty deposits is Lipoma. They are usually harmless and mostly just cause discomfort for the affected person. They can range in size from a few centimeters across to a few inches across. They feel squishy and they move if you push them. Sometimes, you can hide your Lipoma, but if it 's on your neck, it can be hard to hide. You may want to get it removed to improve your quality of life.

Getting That #FRIDAYFEELING, With FindMeAGift*

Friday Feeling: Activated. Even if you're reading this on a Tuesday. 

FindMeAGift have started selling proper amazing bar in a box giftsets... & when it comes to picking out pressies for your pals / parents [that they'll actually enjoy - I don't think I'll ever be able to fake excitement for another pair of socks in me LIFE]; I don't think you can get much better than this. 

This post features the Microbarbox Gin & Prosecco Fix* edit [which is just one of the many fab choices they're stocking] that they very kindly treated me to recently - and all the reasons / photos that make it one of the best surprises to come in the mail ever. Ever.

New In Beauty : July 2018

Aite you bunch of worldies. I'm guessing you're here cos a] you're into beauty or b] my spammy promo tweets enticed you in. In which case... hihi, I'm a bit of a knobhead, but bear with me; k? 

Either way, I'm here today [sipping a double vodka & lemo - cos Christ on a bike this week has been a drag] & typing away [regularly missing keys as I go, yolo] in an over-excited manner about some of the latest bits in beauty I've been trying out. Dead excited to share them with you tbh, there's some lesser known, but most exciting bits in the mix this month. 

Fit or Sh*t? | THOSE Primark Lashes

While I was in Primarni the other week, I ended up a] sweating my tits off b] getting a pure cob on and c] picking up some of the SoSu for Primark false lashes. From their packaging and first impressions, they do look very Lilly Lashes - & for £5 a pair vs the high end price point, I was too intrigued not to pick up a couple of packs. 

I was waaaaaay too hot, agitated and raging to be arsed looking through the different styles - other humans were really getting to me by this point; so I grabbed a set of Dubai and Kylie falsies and went to queue in conditions that felt as hot as the surface of the sun. Are they fit, or sh*t though? Were they worth the sacrifice to my sanity that was spending a sunny Saturday morning in Primarni? I'll tell you now, hun, if you fancy scrolling down.

Practical AND Pretty : Pink Parcel* + 20% OFF YOUR FIRST BOX

I friggin' love how many subscription boxes there are these days, yeno. Nothing quite beats that feeling of opening up a box full of little surprises; curated with you in mind. So naturally, I try and get me mitts on as many sub boxes as I can, hahahaha. 

Today's post features Pink Parcel* - a monthly subscription service designed to help those of us who have periods to feel our best; even around that time of the month. They're also the big sister of Betty Box - which you might remember me reviewing here. The packaging is pretty & splits into different section - essentials for now, for night and for later. And the products, brands & treats you'll find included each month have really, really blown me away. And you can get 20% off your first box with code PP20.

Previse Are Right Nice*

I've been spoilt with skincare this year. My poor, knackered fossil of a body doesn't quite know what's hit it... what with all the lux products it's been sampling in 2018. It was used to a blob of baby oil, ten buckets of fake tan & a few thousand facewipes - then bam! Along came blogging, making more of an effort & the ageing process. Game changed. And from the look of horror, disgust and genuine terror I've had when I've mentioned to people about my love for baby wipes when it comes to removing me makeup, I reckon this revelation will be music to a lot of people's ears.

A new, natural brand I've been enjoying recently when it comes to hydrating my scaly fossil skin; as part of the 2018 Skin Makeover is Previse. They're not a company I'd tried before, but their products have impressed me & defo helped hydrate and cool my parched skin; post Zante. Let's chat more about them, frens.

This Palette Is Proper SICK, Yeno. I'd Even Go As Far As To Say You Need It.

Because I'm a terrible adult, spendaholic & ridiculously easily influenced; I ended up making yet another Revolution Makeup order recently. Purely cos I'd seen a few pics of the new Soph palette knocking about the 'Gram and wanted that aesthetic on & around my face. 

So here she is. She costs just £10, contains 18 triumphant shades and rocks up in the rose gold case of dreams. Her official name [other than babein' palette bae who completes my tragic existance] is the Revolution X Soph Extra Spice palette - and as you may have guessed from this post's title; she's 100% worth picking up. 

Discount At Debenhams?! YAAAAS | Groupon*

There is pretty much no feeling that beats long romantic walks down the makeup aisle. Well, I guess the one to the fridge comes pretty close in terms of this utter euphoric bliss but yeno. I've treated myself to so many bits of beauty recently [fragrance, another 300 eyeshadow palettes, skincare] that I think my stack of credit cards have pretty much imploded. But the call of the makeup counter is too strong. 

It's A Hairy Situation*

I love having long hair. I don't know why, but cutting it short makes me feel about as sexy as a big toe in a pair of Crocs. I guess I like the idea of swishing my hair about like I'm in a sexy music video, with Nicki Minaj twerking in the background. There are a lot of styles you can achieve with long locks. It can be sexy, flirty, feminine. And it can also be a total bugger. Especially when it won't be tamed, gets tangled, goes weirdly flat on one side or looks limp AF; despite fuelling it with all the products in the country.

I know we can all relate to the idea of having a bad hair day. That's why dry shampoo, ponytails, 'messy' buns and hats are a gal's best friend. But what if your bad hair days just don't seem to go away? Don't worry, frens, let's dive into the heart of this hairy situation and sort it out; with theses helpful tips from the professionals.

It's Wedding Season! Planning Is Key*

It’s finally Summer, my fav thing in the whole world... and with that & the Summer holidays, comes a longggg list of social meetups & event invites. It is wedding season, afterall - gotta get dem pics for the gram; blue skies & sunny days make for some cracking shots! If you're the one tasked with organised said Summer event, you'll be well aware by now that planning & prep is key... and if you're planning a whooooole friggin' wedding then... well, hun, you'll most likely need to start planning a couple of years before the big day.

Casual Dating Can Be Fun, Hun*

Dating. Getting to know someone new. Casually dating. Pyar steamy hook ups / sex dating. Whatever your status or preference, there's a lot of fun to be had on the modern dating scene. And with the endless opportunities that online dating & dating apps bring to the table, the world is pretty much ya oyster. 

Modern tech has made it way easier to locate a potential love interest - even on the go, on ya phone or laptop... and so much smoother than trying to talk to someone in a club & decipher whether they're fit or sh*t; in a venue filled with strobe lights & smoke machines [blasting DJ Sammy - Heaven. Tuuuuune.] Whether you're in it for the long-haul [or in it for a one-night-only, no strings dating kinda thing] meeting someone new who you proper fancy or get on well with is a pretty unbeatable experience. 

It's About TIME You Heard About This Stuff... Cos It's The BOMB*

My hair is like an angry birds' nest, sent from the fiery pits of hell. You'd think I was being overdramatic there, but I rly don't brush it that often, so that statement is actually surprisingly accurate. I've got a really lovely product to show you today; which actually - by some miracle - does really seem to agree with and salvage the state of me mop. This Time Bomb Mass Appeal Hair Thickening Supplement*, which is a leave-in treatment, was a lovely surprise bit of #Bloggermail to come home to recently - and a surprise new fave in my life, too.
