  • Inspiration | Just A Splash Of Colour

    Despite my own monochromatic wardrobe, there’s just something about the peeks of sunshine peeping through the rainclouds and in between Spring showers that seriously has me craving colour. One easy way I want to do this is to slip it a few brighter tones into my make-up routine.

    As a rule – and for simplicity when getting ready in the morning – I tend to keep my make-up routine pretty neutral but I don’t think there’s any harm in adding a splash of colourful eyeliner or lipstick into the mix on evenings out or on the weekend. Right now I’m loving all the idea of a bright bit of eyeliner or eyeshadow with my usual slick of black eyeliner. Neon nails will probably look better with a tan so I’m holding those off until my trip abroad in August. As for lipsticks? I may venture away from my usual reds to try out some pretty pinks shades when the sun shines.

  • Beauty | Favourite Affordable Cruelty Free Beauty Brands

    As you guys know I’ve pledged to start investing in the cruelty free beauty mindset and now that I’m starting to finish up a lot of my non-cruelty free make up and beauty stash I can finally start properly supporting the great companies who carry the cruelty free banner.

    Now that I’m starting to research brands and products both through just Googling and by reading blog reviews, a common theme that seems to come up in the arguments about the struggle to keep up with cruelty free is that many products are insanely expensive. Whilst that is the case for some – and very often it’s a case of you get what you pay for because these products are a m a z i n g – there are still a load of brands who don’t animal test and are totally affordable.

    As it’s ‘Be Cruelty Free Week‘ and as part of the little #blogforbunnies campaign I thought I’d share my own personal top 5 cruelty brands (from the UK high street) that won’t break the bank.
