Despite being 30 minutes down the dual carriageway for most of my life, Southampton has, for the most part, remained unexplored by me.

Embracing Pink Eyeshadow + Tips For Making It Work
Here’s a blog post title I never thought I’d be writing! For the longest time, pink eyeshadow has been the kind of nightmare that reminded me of cheap makeup palettes shaped like phones from the 00’s. Surely pink eyeshadow can only end one way, with you looking at best like you haven’t had enough sleep,…
