Seaside makeup: 2014 vs. 2015

 

It's been a year since my last 'seaside makeup' post, so I thought I'd have a bit of fun and compare the two. If you haven't seen it here's the 2015 edition of seaside makeup and here's the 2014 edition.

Three hand creams for any situation

While the rest of me gets covered with tights and jumpers, hands and face remain uncovered. Moisturising my face is second nature, but I easily forget that my hands need the same amount of love.

Burt's Bees Lemon and Vitamin E Bath and Body Oil is light, lemony and perfect for summer.

My 7-step routine for beautiful nails

I once read, from a very wise person no doubt, that it's far more difficult to feel sad when your nails look pretty. I completely agree.

Today's Friday Favourites features three ethical products, plus a special guest appearance from Strawberry the cat as quality checker / investigative cat journalist.

Cheap as Chips - bargain beauty buys under £5

I've spent many an hour lusting over high-end beauty products. The number of MAC lipsticks I own is well into double figures. While I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing (MAC lipsticks are gorgeous, after all), there are loads of really great low-cost products out there. While they may not be as heart-poundingly, moan-inducingly beautiful, they get the job done without needing to survive on baked beans for a fortnight. 

Tinted Lip Balms

Winter has wreaked havoc on my lips this year. The combination of the cold, the wind, hot showers and central heating has left them parched, flaky, and in need of some serious lip balm love.
