💭 Tomorrow, I start my dream job. The funny thing is, I didn't see it coming. ✨One morning I came across this job vacancy, absent-mindedly browsing LinkedIn. I read it, and I thought, "Huh. That sounds pretty good." Over the next hour I couldn't get it out of my head. I showed my boyfriend. I sent it to my mum. I was filled with excitement - it had lit a fire in me that had been burning lower and lower for the longest time. Suddenly there was this other path in front of me. I couldn't resist - I wrote a cover letter on my phone and sent off my application. 💥 I never thought for a second I'd actually get the job. It was probably too good, too exciting, too perfect to actually be MY job. I got called in for interview. Then, another interview - this time I had to do a presentation. It was only in this second interview, when the manager looked me dead in the eye and said, "Well - I want to hire you. When can you start?" that I realised what had happened. Holy shit. HOLY SHIT. I did it? I actually did this?? I got my dream job??? ✨ I've been avoiding posting on this account, and my blog, for a long time because I'd put myself into a box I don't belong in any more. I still like makeup and skincare - but I've got more to give to the world than my thoughts on that. I want to talk about launching my business from my own back pocket. Becoming a homeowner at 25. I want to share my recipes, my craft projects, our home renovations, and my thoughts on whatever it is I'm thinking about that day. I want to be more me. I want to make this fun again. 💭 So - here's to change. Here's to taking on whatever life throws at you, even if it's not what you thought you'd be doing a month ago. And here's to believing in yourself, and giving yourself permission to chase after those dreams 🌠 #newjob #lifestyleblogger #ukbloggers #crafter

I might not have been posting on the 'gram... But I sure as hell have been buying makeup 🙃 what would you pick from my giant collective haul? I've felt a little bit in limbo for the past few months, impatiently waiting for the next chapter of adulthood to begin - but it's finally right around the corner and I couldn't be more excited 🙏 I'm not going to divulge exactly what it is that's going on because I don't want to jinx it! But you'll find out very soon... And no, I'm not pregnant 😅 💕 @meltcosmetics @makeuprevolution @nablacosmetics @maybelline @zoevacosmetics @goshuk @sleekmakeup @beautyglazed @officialbbeauty @obsession #meltgemini #meltstack #meltcosmetics #beautyglazed #zoeva #revolutionmakeup #sleekmakeup #nablacosmetics #nabla #nabladreamy #maybellinexgigihadid #bbdaretoshare #slaytheflatlay #makeuphaul #makeupporn #makeupflatlay #discoverunder100k #bbloggersuk #ukbloggers #kissoffire #eyeshadowpalette

When you love a blush formula so much, you just... Buy the entire range... 🔥 These @obsession blushes really ARE that good. Since I bought the shade Honey (the one in the middle) I've used it a ton, and it's one of the only blushes I own that stays on my face for the entire day. Pigmented, but blends like a dream. Magic. ✨ And when I saw @shoprevolutionbeauty had them all on sale for £1.50? Well, it would be rude not to get them all, wouldn't it? 💕 #revolutionmakeup #obsession #affordablemakeup

Did I just post a review of a product on launch day?! 🤔 These Magnetize Eyeshadows are brand new at @makeuprevolution @shoprevolutionbeauty today - check out my blog (link in bio 👉) for some swatches and to find out what I think of them! Are you picking any of these up? 🌠 🌠 #makeuprevolution #revolutionbeauty #bbloggersuk #beautypage #ukbloggers #affordablemakeup #drugstore #slaytheflatlay #revoholic #makeupflatlay #discoverunder100k #makeuphaul #magnetize #superdrugloves #revolutionpro #revolution #revolutionmakeup #ontheblog #duochrome #glitter #makeupcollection #makeupcollector #drugstoremakeup #newmakeup #newrelease

I'm a 'lil emotional to discover @innisfreeofficial are discontinuing their EU shipping service - and it's nothing to do with the glass of 🍷 and leftover easter egg 🍫 I'm currently consuming! You might know that Innisfree is my favourite skincare brand (trust me to pick a company you can't even get in the UK) and I've ordered from their Korean warehouse a bunch of times. For around £7, my orders usually come in under a week, with free tracking and no customs charges. Cracking! Tomorrow is the last day to make orders from the EU do you better act fast if you don't want to miss out 😱 Hopefully they re-instate the EU shipping soon or I'll have to contain myself with buying off eBay 😭 ❤ ❤ #bbloggersuk #innisfree #kbeauty #skincarehaul #koreanskincare #skincare #slaytheflatlay #discoverunder100k #beautypage #ukbloggers #skincarejunkie #shelfie #beautyblog #sheetmask #skincarehaul

Used the @limecrimemakeup Venus II on my face for the first time today 😍 Loving it so far - the shades are so pigmented and easy to blend, and the colour selection is so far up my alley it's unreal 🙌 I used Mustard, Mud and Fly and I can't wait to try out the other shades! Big thanks to my babe @beautywithwispa for treating me to this for my birthday last year - I'd wanted it for so long and it doesn't disappoint 💓 ❤ ❤ #limecrime #venus2 #limecrimemakeup #limecrimevenus #venus2palette #eyeshadowpalette #ukbloggers #bbloggersuk #slaytheflatlay #makeupflatlay #discoverunder100k #macro #primelens #canonm3 #canonprime #beautypage #newmakeup #indiemakeup #indiecosmetics #makeupreview #makeuphaul #beautyblogger #makeupmacro #beautyblog #luxurybeauty #highendmakeup

I loved the @w7makeupuk Naughty Nines Palette in Midsummer Nights so much I decided to add Arabian Nights to my collection too 😍 These are really similar in layout and shades to the MAC Times Nine Palettes and personally I think the quality is fantastic for a palette under £3 🙌 Midsummer Nights also gives me Naked 3 Vibes and I've done some amazing pink-toned looks with it. The shades in these palettes have a good variety in tones, a good mix of matte and shimmer, and I love the compact travel-friendly packaging 👌 You can pick these up on eBay - there's also purple and blue toned versions. 💡 Have you guys tried any W7 palettes? ❤ ❤ #bbloggersuk #w7 #w7naughtynines #naughtynines #w7palette #w7makeup #w7cosmetics #macdupe #timesninedupe #burgundytimesnine #ambertimesnine #macpalette #maceyeshadow #makeupdupe #macdupe #affordablemakeup #drugstoremakeup #drugstore #discoverunder100k #slaytheflatlay #makeupflatlay #makeupdupes #makeupcollector #beautypage #beautycommunity #eyeshadowpalette #ukbloggers #makeupreview

Feel really bad for all the times I said bad things about eyeshadow sticks 🙈 now I've figured out how to use them properly (i.e. actually blend them) I've realised why so many people love them 😂 So I'm making up for lost time by trying all the different formulas - @goshuk are my current fave ❤ Tell me your fave stick/cream eyeshadows in the comments 👇👇 Also let me know if you like my new iridescent backdrop 😉 P.S. Sorry about my naked nails, beauty for me doesn't extend far past my head.. I hardly ever paint them 'cos I struggle to come to terms with being helpless for an hour 😰 ❤ ❤ #bbloggersuk #ukbloggers #gosh #goshcosmetics #goshcopenhagen #rimmel #rimmellondon #bourjois #hmbeauty #drugstore #affordablemakeup #drugstoremakeup #discoverunder100k #slaytheflatlay #makeupflatlay #eyeshadowstick #creamshadow #creameyeshadow #superdrughaul #bootshaul #drugstorehaul #beautypage #everydaymakeup #eyeshadow #makeupblog #makeupcollector
