  • Grenfell should’ve not been a reality check...
    Grenfell should’ve not been a reality check...Residents stood at their windows watching flames approach their apartments, others woken up by the sound of sirens, passing through a smoke filled hallway and that was just the tip of the horror show. Panicked screams immersed the building as many fearful residents observed what used to be turn into a haunted memory of the past as they watched the treacherous fire engulf their homes. What will be known for many years to come as Britain’s worst fire tragedy, a deadly orange light that forced its

  • Get The Look: Faux Lashes
    Get The Look: Faux Lashes While faux lashes are one of the easiest ways to "up" your makeup game, the endless options and application process can be intimidating to some!  We've outlined some easy steps that will ensure a seamless application and result in gorgeous faux flutter.  1.      Pick a true-to-you style. Perfect faux lashes look best when they mirror your existing eye shape or enhance what you’ve already got.  2.      Choose your lash type. Our favourite lashes range from near “disposable” sets to lust-worthy investment pieces. Brands like House of Lashes are cruelty-free and only use human and synthetic hair. If you're on a budget, makeup pros everywhere know there’s no better bargain than Ardelle, whose Demi Wispies are a cult favourite. If you’re looking for an investment lash with high style, you’ll want to check out Esqido lashes or Velour for photo shoot-worthy fauxs.  3.      Trim your faux lashes to fit your eyes. The very first step in your application process should be popping those beauties out of the box and doing a little measuring. Since not all eyes are the same size, take a minute to see how the lashes fit your eye shape. 4.      Prepare your natural lashes. Before you begin, it's also a good idea to give your natural lashes a light coat of your favourite mascara so they have something to hold onto.  5.      Wait 10secs after applying glue to lash When you’re ready to apply, squeeze a little glue on the back of your hand and gently drag the lashes through to pick up a minimal amount of product. Also, consider glue that dries black and blends right in with your liner! 6. Gently press and squeeze the lashes to set them. We’re ready to apply! Move those lashes to the top of your natural lash, setting them down lightly. The right motion here is to gently press and squeeze. You want to press the faux lashes into your own lash line, and carefully squeeze the band to your natural lashes at the base of your eyelashes. This is where a lash applicator can provide that gentle pressure you’re looking for, but you can always use your fingers, too.  7. Finishing Touches. Draw a bit of black liner over the band to fill in any gaps and hide any edges of the lash. A soft squeeze with a lash curler and a final coat of mascara is also a great way to blend your real lashes with the fakes.  Check out below a video tutorial for visual help.
  • Transitional Spring Jackets
    Transitional Spring JacketsThe sun is finally among us and we need to transition from our coats to summer jackets. You might ask why are we discussing jackets during summer? Well this is England hunnie, and it is not always sunny you might need a light jacket on some days. Summer brings forth the never-ending transitional dressing dilemma and we need something that won't make us boil over, but will also keep us warm come sunset, while also being light enough to stuff in our bags if the sun really puts on a show. We've put together a comprehensive list of jackets that will meet all of your summer time criteria.
