Happy Christmas & Highlights of 2017


Image source: Pinterest


Just a quick post from me today to wish you all a very Happy Christmas! I am taking a break for the holidays to spend quality time with my husband and both our families. We will be with my husband's family for a week and then back home to celebrate with my family. My husband is finishing work today until January 8th so I am looking forward to lots of quality time with him!

As it's my last post of the year, I wanted to reflect on 2017 and share some of my personal highlights with you and I would love to hear your highlights too!

Brand Focus #12 Marc Jacobs Beauty


Brand Focus, Marc Jacobs, Velvet Noir Mascara, Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter, Under(Cover) Perfecting Coconut Face Primer, Eye-Conic Longwear Eyeshadow Palette Edgitorial, Le Marc Lip Creme, Enamored Hi-Shine Gloss Lip Lacquer, Gel Eye Crayon, (P)out liner Longwear Lip Pencil, Air Blush, Twinkle Pop Eye Shadow Stick, Magic Marc'er Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, Review


I'm back with my final Brand Focus of the year! I'm so glad that I started this series this year because it has made me rotate my products on a regular basis but also because the posts seem to have gone down really well with you all too! I'm happy that I have done 12 in 12 months (see series here) and already I'm thinking about the brands I can include next year but today, it's all about Marc Jacobs! I love the sleek black packaging of Marc Jacobs products, but I'm less keen on the animal print packaging of the Christmas collection this year!

Personalised Christmas Gifts from Lanai Blo and Instyler styling tools


Lanai Blo, Instyler Max, Glossie Review


My friends and family tell me that I'm difficult to buy for but, I think that I am easily pleased - having something personalised really thrills me because Siobhán is not the kind of name that you regularly see on products in shops. Even now, when I see baubles or badges with all of the popular names on them, I still check to see if there will be a Siobhán and 99.999999% of the time, there isn't. Therefore, you can imagine how delighted I was to receive a Lanai Blo hairdryer with my name on it! I think this would make a brilliant Christmas gift, not only because it is personalised, but because it is a superb hair dryer!

Party Season Skin Prep featuring Skinesis, DHC, Pixi and more!


Estée Lauder, Advanced Night Repair, Skincare, Omorovicza, Midnight Radiance, Pixi Glow Tonic, Glow Recipe Watermelon Sleeping Mask, GLAMGLOW, thirstymud, DHC, Eye Roll On, Sarah Chapman, Intense Hydrating Booster, Review


I've been rotating my makeup to get my festive picks ready but the key to makeup looking good is actually in well prepped skin, in my opinion, so before showing you the makeup I'll be wearing over the festive season, I wanted to show you the skincare products I'll be using. Late nights, rich food, more food that usual and fizzy drinks will all take their toll on my skin so I will be maintaining my current skincare routine but also using extra products to ensure it is plump, hydrated, clear and (hopefully) glowing.

Christmas gifting with Caudalie




I'm sure you are all familiar with Caudalie, but if you aren't, it is a French brand founded by a husband and wife team in 1993. It is an environmentally conscious brand and their products don't contain any parabens, mineral oils or animal-derived ingredients. I have tried a small number of their products so far and have loved them all so I was delighted to receive a selection of their Christmas gifts and I want to share my thoughts on them with you today! They are all budget friendly at £20 and under, which would make them ideal for Secret Santa or stocking fillers.

Brand Focus #11 Ouai




Ouai is a brand that has exploded on to the beauty scene - everything about it from it's aesthetically pleasing and very instagrammable packaging to the fact that the creator (Jen Atkin) is also hairdresser to the Kardashians, has grabbed the attention of the beauty world. However, aesthetics and big names are not enough to sustain a brand - luckily, the products are pretty amazing so Ouai is here to stay! I haven't tried everything Ouai has to offer, however I think I have used enough to do a brand focus post as I have something to cover every step in a haircare routine.
