Those who have read my recent blog post about The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Solution will be aware that one of my major resolutions for this year was to both invest more in and take better care of my skin. Granted, there’s not necessarily an awful lot that can be done about my hormonal acne without professional consultancy, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t work to be done when it comes to my dry skin and prevention of premature ageing. As a result, following a little bit of research, I decided to purchase some new products and I thought that I would feedback to you today about what was worth the money and what wasn’t. Of course, I am no dermatologist myself, but I do believe there is a certain value to product reviews from the average Sally! As per usual, let me know your thoughts and recommendations in the comments section below!

A blog post that isn't study related? What can I say? It feels as if we've jumped straight back to 2016 on this blog! To cut to the chase, one of my resolutions for this year was to invest more and take better care of my skin; having watched an esthetician's video on this particular chemical exfoliant, I was very much intrigued by it - for The Ordinary was a brand that I was already quite the fan of - and, now that this product has well and truly blown up on TikTok, I thought there would be no better time to share my thoughts with you. Of course, I am no dermatologist (heck, I can't even sort out my hormonal acne myself) but if you're looking for a review from your average Sally, this is the post for you - I hope it's helpful!

Those who know me personally will know that winter and my skin simply do not bode well- from the seemingly never-ending allergic reactions on my eyelids to those pesky dry patches. I think it's fair to say, therefore, that rediscovering my love for makeup at this time of the year has been a little bit problematic- but luckily, there have been a few base products that have really saved me these past couple of months and I thought that it might be helpful to share those with you today. I hope you find this post useful and be sure to let me know your favourite base product(s) in the comments section below!

When it comes to all things beauty, I have a love-hate relationship- heightened by the fact that my seasonal allergies are coming back out to play, swelling and reddening up my eyes. However, I think any blogger here can agree with me that autumnal makeup is the best kind of makeup- what better time to grab out the copper, the gold and the burgundy eyeshadows? To go along with this, though I'm admittedly a bit late to the party, I thought I'd put together a post showcasing my favourite products for the ultimate autumnal glam...

It's fair to say the drugstore brands are really coming for their high-end counterparts: liquid lippies, contouring kits, colour correctors- you name it, the drugstore is coming out with it! As much as I love my high-end products, there's nothing better than finding something that works just as well or better that'll save a pretty penny! So, as well as raiding my drawers, I took a swift trip to Superdrug (and probably spent more than I should've!) on the search for the perfect foundation- care to see what performed and what didn't?

When it comes to beauty, we now have a somewhat overwhelming amount of choice- had you have taken a trip to Boots 10 or so odd years ago, I doubt there'd be a contouring or highlighting kit in sight! As a result, much to my bank account's dismay, it's fair to say my beauty wishlist isn't on the small side and I thought today that it'd be interesting to share 5 brands I'd love to try more products from. If you're intrigued about what's on the list, it's time to scroll down or press 'Read More' and have a look!

Summer: a season I can't tell whether I love or hate, whether it's the sticky sensation of sticking to chairs or finally being able to wear a summer dress. It goes without saying, though, that summer is the perfect excuse for brightening up your wardrobe, as well as your makeup routine! For me, this boldness (as you may) goes into the lips- especially now that I've stripped back my everyday makeup routine; so, I felt it'd be appropriate to do a summer lip edit post with some of my favourite summer lippies for when the sun does in fact decide to shine in the UK! Interested in my picks? Scroll down!

When it comes to lipstick, MAC is certainly a brand that has it down- not only do they have one of (if not the) largest shade ranges on the market, their formulas too are pretty darn good! So, it's safe to say I haven't exactly been holding back the pennies when I see a MAC store around and now have a fair few shades that I wanted to share with you today, because I don't know about you... but these are some of my favourite posts to read! Scroll down and behold for lipstick heaven!

Trends come and go, and as 2017 progresses... it seems that we're getting stranger and stranger trends by the day- this one included! Recently, on both Instagram and YouTube, I've seen people try a new hack that promises to keep your face looking divine all day long- applying powder before your foundation. Being that I now wear suncream under my foundation every day, and don't want to wear an excessive amount of makeup to set my face, I thought this would be an interesting one to try- so... care to stick along and see my thoughts?

If you know me, then you'll know that makeup-wise, I'm obsessed with all things base! Instead of investing my money into, you know... some gorgeous glittery shadows or something I don't have, I cannot stop spending on my foundations, primers, powders- you name it! Recently though, I've discovered one product that has revolutionised my makeup routine and couldn't resist sharing it with you- so, want to know a quick way to achieve a flawless face?
