EOTD: Subculture, by Anastasia Beverly Hills.

I did a few yellow-centered looks when testing my Natasha Denona Sunrise eyeshadow palette [which will be reviewed in my next post - I'm getting all mega posh 😜], which put me in the mood to look through my makeup collection for some of my favourite yellow tones for a similar look to what will be with the upcoming review...

Subculture is one of my favourite palettes for quality and the colour story, but I'd not used it for ages because it's being discontinued and I don't want to use it up. However, I do know that amounts to leaving the palette to go to waste, which is kinda dumb, so as you can currently still buy the palette, I want to share this new combo idea as inspiration to people who have or are thinking of getting Subculture.

EOTD: Revolution x Immogenation...


It's almost autumn; in fact it is already the season of PSL in my head, so I'm already turning to my autumnal colours in my collection and want to revisit a palette that is full of all the things I love - I'm getting a real little kick from these autumnal shades...


If you want to treat yourself to a new eyeshadow palette for the autumn season, but don't want to spend loads of money, then today's featured EOTD palette is a great option...

EOTD: The Norvina palette, by Anastasia Beverly Hills.


I thought I'd keep things real on the blog, by sharing a recent look that didn't really work out. Having clear photos of it available does help me see where I went wrong, so it's a good idea to post things like this for future reference...


I went to the live concert that is part of Manchester's Pride Festival weekend and decided to try to recreate the 'reverse smokey eye look' I'd just watched YouTuber BeautBean do, as it looked quick n easy, yet impactful on her - because recreating a look without having ever attempting the technique before, is a recipe for success. 

Sigh...

So f***ing grateful?! Thank U, Next edp, by Ariana Grande.

Optimistically outspoken. Playful yet cool. Introducing Thank U, Next Eau de Parfum by Ariana Grande. The ultimate fragrance for moving on and looking up.

I was quite surprised to see the newest Ariana Grande perfume when I was aimlessly wandering around Boots recently - Thank  U Next has just been released in America and usually we have to wait another several months after that for her perfumes to then get a UK release.

Her previous perfume release (Cloud) surprised me by how much I still enjoy it [I even wore it fora wedding], and seeing how similar the bottle set up for the new release is to it, filled me with enough confidence to buy a bottle immediately, as I took it as a sign that they're going to follow the trend they started with cloud 

There wasn't a tester for  Thank U Next out, so I just bought it without even trying it once beforehand.Will that turn out to be a stupid mistake,  or have I got lucky?

Grab your glow sticks: Prerogative Rave edp, by Britney Spears.

"Daring. Energetic. Irresistible. Step into a world where everything provocative is pushed to the next level. Show your moves. Dance the night away. Live like there’s no tomorrow." 



Prerogative Rave is described as being "the new uninhibited fragrance for all", so I'm expecting something lively and unisex. The original Prerogative perfume surprised me with how unique it is among the Britney Spears fragrances, so will it's new flanker be able to follow in it's footsteps?
