Over the last couple of months I’ve gotten my makeup-stained mitts on a few drugstore primers and have been testing them out for you.

Falling For Lipgloss
Now I know that lipgloss is a bit of a Marmite product, and I used to be firmly on the ‘no thank you’ side. However, I feel like there are a lot of lipglosses now that have amazing formulas that aren’t in the slightest bit sticky! I love the look of gloss, particularly in the…

The Canadian Edit: First Impressions
Shall we take a moment here to appreciate the beauty of makeup from the other side of the pond? I’m pretty sure I heard angels singing when I unwrapped these beauties. You’ll have heard me talk about Daphne a lot here, but actually, she’s one part of a trio, it’s just the other part lives…
