Where I've Been Lately

Hello everyone,
 
You may have noticed, but I haven’t posted for a long while. I thought it was time I let you know why.
 
I have managed to consistently post twice a week for over a year now until recently. I had a lot of time on my hands when I was on furlough and then I was made redundant late last year. I had always enjoyed blogging and it kind of filled a sort of lonely hole in my life and it was also a type of therapy for me. My life has dramatically changed since the global pandemic started. I managed to lose quite a bit of weight during the first UK lockdown, but then backtracked a little when I went back to work. Since I was made redundant in November, a lot of things have changed again. I have lost a lot more weight, joined a gym and I am starting a new job soon. I am actually starting to enjoy and live my life, whereas before the pandemic I feel like I was just existing and I was very unhappy in myself and with my life overall. I feel like I have been given a second chance and I don’t want to waste it! I am still continuing with my weight loss journey and I haven’t backtracked once. There are also a lot of things I would like to do now that I feel like I can do them, this means I won’t really have the time or energy to blog. Also, I have kind of lost the motivation to blog. I also haven’t been as interested in trying new make-up and I have just been using what I already have, if I even fancy applying it at all!
 
What’s going to happen at the moment is that if I fancy blogging, I will post something but there won’t be a schedule. The posts will be sporadic and possibly random. I anticipate that I will possibly stop blogging altogether when I start my new job, but I am not certain as of yet. I’m not making any promises, but I am not leaving permanently quite yet.
 
Take care and thank you for your support.

Jouer Skinny Dip Palette

I first saw this palette when Jouer released their Skinny Dip make-up collection and I nearly bought it, but I changed my mind because I already have a million palettes. As you can see, I have changed my mind again and I am very glad that I did. The packaging is quite compact. It is made out of reflective foil gold cardboard and the typography is simple. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift to reveal a small rectangular mirror on one side and then the six eyeshadow pans on the other. The shade names are written underneath each pan. You get six ultra-foil shimmer eyeshadows in blinding shades with a net weight of 7.5g. The sixth shade is actually described as more of a glitter shade. STAR LIGHT - platinum BIKINI - champagne pink SKINNY DIP - champagne gold TAN LINES - antique bronze MAGIC HOUR - warm taupe MIDNIGHT SWIM - cocoa bronze The eyeshadows should be highly pigmented, have an intense shimmery and metallic finish, be long wearing and cre

KALEIDOS Space Age Highlighters

A few posts ago I mentioned that I purchased a Kaleidos Space Age Highlighter from Depop and I said I really wanted the whole collection (8 highlighters) and was considering purchasing the whole bundle. The bundle was and is still out of stock, so I caved in and went for the second best option. I ended up purchasing The Six Highlighter Bundle, where you choose six of the shades and you get their Precision Highlighter Brush, all for $76.00 (£60.70). With this option I would only be missing out on one shade. My order was shipped from China and took 10 days to get to me. The shipping was FREE as I spent over $70.00 and I wasn’t charged any customs fees. Inside the main package is the bright bundle box, it looks like a present/gift. When you open this up, the highlighters and brush are inside the metallic padded envelope. I already own the shade Ray Rider (N03) (champagne sheen with a peach hint).

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil

I received this product as part of the Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette, which also includes a lipgloss crayon. I am going to review this product as a whole, even though I only have it in one shade. This looks like a standard eyeliner pencil, but the design is a lot nicer looking. The majority of them have the silver lid, but I have noticed that a couple of the shades have a different colour lid. Each barrel of each pencil is a different colour, to clearly show the colour of each shade. Zero is a soft black shade and it is not the darkest black Urban Decay do. This shade is part of the regular line and mine is the 0.8g sample size, the full sized product is 1.2g. Like the majority of pencil eyeliners, you have to sharpen it to dispense more product and the formula is smooth and creamy. This eyeliner is supposed to be creamy, long lasting, waterproof, highly pigmented and velvety soft. It is also said to contain moisturising ingredients, which makes it very safe f
