Today's post is another makeup video. Occasionally, if I am in a rush or don't have too much to do that day or my brushes are drying, I like to apply my makeup with my hands and fingers. I find that this gives me a very natural finish and makes me think carefully about colour... Continue Reading →
Travel makeup
This weekend, there is a fair amount of travelling around. I love travelling and exploring, but I am someone who 100% needs a plan in order to combat and manage anxiety. It is Mr J's birthday on Monday, so on Thursday we drove to South Wales for a birthday meal with his family and then... Continue Reading →
Three marvellous masks!
Today, I am going to write about my three favourite face masks. I started using masks about a year and a half ago; around the time when I started to take my skin care seriously. I discovered Caroline Hirons, Ruth Crilly and Nadine Baggott, who are experts in skin-care and I realised just how neglectful... Continue Reading →
My makeup today – 10th Feb 2019
So today, I decided to film myself doing my makeup. It was quite a fun process really! I learnt a new skill too (how to use imovie - something that I'm sure comes easy to many but is really hard for someone non tech-savvy, like myself.) This has been uploaded to my youtube channel...I know,... Continue Reading →
Ode to makeup: Charlotte Tilbury

To some this may seem frivolous and unnecessary. But, I don't care. Makeup makes me happy and is one of the most creative ways... Continue Reading →
Empties and Usage Review 2018
What a year it has been! For my first post in ages, I wanted to discuss 'empties' and my thoughts on product usage. I would first of all like to disclaim that I am one person. What may seem excessive to some will seem meagre to others. That idea of being one person though -... Continue Reading →
Lamorna podcast picks
Hello! Long time...no posting. I suppose life just got in the way. So many things have happened in the last eight months. When I say things, I mean huge, life-changing things (more on that in another post). However, I've really missed blogging and really want to start again! I thought I would ease myself back...

One palette: three January looks
So, I am known amongst my friends as a bit of a make-up addict. To the extent that for Christmas, two people INDEPENDENTLY bought me a rotating cosmetics holder. Alarmingly, even after filling both of them up, there are still at least two drawers left with make up in them! However, in the spirit of... Continue Reading →
January Smoky Winter Eye Look
If, like me, you are obsessed with make-up, then you are constantly looking for new ideas and colours to try. I spend a silly amount of time reading beauty blogs, checking out different products on review sites and watching endless youtube reviews and tutorials. I also spend a great deal of time each day on... Continue Reading →
