Phone Photography for Bloggers | Guest Post

If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, you may have seen that I'm not very well at the moment. Unfortunately, I'm having a few health issues, and one of them is causing a lot of pain when I look at the computer screen. So rather than leave the blog with nothing up for today, the wonderful H of The Small Things of Life has written a post for you about making the most of your camera phone for blogging photos. Her photography really is fantastic, so I hope this is something that you're going to enjoy.

Alorée Two Phase Hydrating Face Mist

You may have noticed that over the last few months I've been on a real skin care kick, I found that I was in a total rut with my routine so tried to switch things up a bit and went on the hunt for some new products. I'd never heard of Alorée before, so was intrigued by the sound of their Hydrating Face Mist*.

Manicure Monday | OCC - Black Metal Dahlia

I'm beyond happy to be able to share Black Metal Dahlia nail polish from OCC with you today. As you may already know, the Lip Tar of the same name is my all time favourite lipstick, so I was hoping to get my hands on the matching nail polish for ages. However, it's really difficult to come across in the UK. There was a time when it was available in Selfridges, but only as a set, and I already have the Lip Tar, so went on the hunt elsewhere. After seeing the extortionate prices on eBay, I eventually gave up and asked my brother to bring it home from America with him.

Lippy Girl Vegocentric Lipstick - Son of a Brick

As a self-confessed lipstick addict, it's always amazing to get an email from someone asking if I want to try one of their lip products. I've had Lippy Girl on my radar for quite some time now, I've been following them on Instagram for well over a year but haven't yet tried anything of theirs, so when Botanical Brands asked if I was interested in reviewing one of their popular Vegocentric Lipsticks* I couldn't say "yes" quick enough.

Chasing the Dream | An Interview with Lisa of The Jellygoose Blogs

After Jemma's interview went down so well a few weeks ago, I reached out to a couple more people, and some others contacted me to do the interview, so it looks like I may have a mini-series of interviews coming up. This week I'm delighted to bring you Lisa from The Jellygoose Blogs, who is one of my favourite people. Please join us as she tells us all about her life's dream.

Manicure Monday | Models Own - Gumballs

I know we've just started autumn, but I couldn't resist one more bright nail polish. I have a ton of dark and vampy shades coming up in the next few months, but something about Gumballs from Models Own was just screaming at me this week.

Sinivalia Massage Oils

After my recent experience with Sinivalia I was so excited to try out their massage oils*, after all, I've been so impressed with every other product so far that I was bound to love these too, wasn't I? There are three oils in the set: Hazelnut, Carrot and Watermelon, and each serves a different use for the skin, so regardless of your skin issues, one of these oils should suit you.

Neve Cosmetics Makeup Delight Eyeshadow Palette | Review & Giveaway

I've been eyeing up the Makeup Delight eyeshadow palette ever since Neve Cosmetics released it two years ago, so when I was perusing the CutECOsmetics website last week I was thrilled to see it reduced in price. Of course, that meant that I was able to pick up one to review myself and another to give to one of you lovely lot.

Manicure Monday | China Glaze - Point Me To The Party

It's not very often that I see a new collection of nail polish and just have to get my hands on at least one of them ASAP, but that was the case with the China Glaze Electric Nights 2015 collection. All of the polishes were bright and inviting, but none more so than Point Me To The Party, which is a neon glitter topper.

Summer's Last Hoorah!

As much as I hate certain aspects of the warmer months, there are some things I'm really going to miss now autumn is officially here. Being able to leave my window open all day was wonderful, although I have got a bug net to protect me from little critters. Light evenings have been great for photography, rather than having a two-hour deadline I could take my time and get the shot I wanted. But I think the thing I'm going to miss most is my photography subjects dying off. I love taking nature shots, and although I can still do that when it's cold, they won't be as colourful and pretty. So, for the season's last hoorah I'm going to share some photos I've taken this summer that you haven't seen yet.
