Vlogger Products And Ranges: Why I'm Over It Already (Before It's Barely Started)

For the past god-knows-how-long we consumers have been inundated with celebrity endorsed products. While it has been notoriously seen within the beauty industry, our celeb-obsessed society means that this marketing is seen in many-a-field; from insurance, to food and fashion, every advert seems to feature a very familiar face. Sticking a celebrity's face on the poster for your product was a sure-seller for a long time; just look at the perfume market and count how many pointless Z-listers have their own fragrance out. Lately, it seems, our fast-moving industry and constant desire for more in this day and age means that your more commonly known celeb is being rivalled by a new breed of endorsement; the vlogger.

Model Co Volumeyes: My New Favourite All-Round Mascara

After having a little trichotillomania splurge a couple of months ago, my eyelashes have finally grown back (YEY!). As I'm sure any other sufferer will know, when you have that glorious feeling of lashes again, you immediately run to your mascara stash and start coating your lashes with oodles of the product...just because you can. As such, I've now had the chance to try out all the fully-sealed mascaras I've accumulated and put them to the test. During this exciting process of perfecting my newly-found flutter, I discovered this Model Co mascara which I picked up as a freebie with Glamour magazine. Despite getting to grips with old favourites such as Roller Lash and Maybelline's Lash Sensational, Model Co's Volumeyes has crept its way up to the number one spot.

Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner: The First Eyeliner I Ever Used (And Still Love To This Day)

I have acquired quite a collection of eyeliners over the years as I've relentlessly splashed my cash in search for the best product to give me that faultless, bold, dark cat flick look. From felt tip liners, to gel formulas such as Benefit's They're Real, while many have become dearly loved, none have surpassed my adoration for this budget, basic eyeliner. Collection are fantastic for dupes, trying out something a bit different without burning a hole in your pocket, and just discovering some bloody good bargain products. Their Fast Stroke liquid eyeliner definitely falls into this last category; despite searching high and low for another product to rival it, I always come running back to this beautiful work of art.

Simply adding a serum to your skincare routine can make the world of difference. Packed full of higher concentrated active ingredients than your other skin products, serums help to penetrate deep within the layers of your skin to inject a quick-fix burst of goodness. They can slot seamlessly between your toner and moisturiser, so much so that there really is not reason to use one!

For the past few weeks, I've been turning to this Estee Lauder illuminating serum to help bring me back a bit of much-needed glow to my skin, but is it's £40 pricetag really justified?

That Time I Graduated...

Hey everyone! Just another quick life update to announce to you all that I have officially graduated! Myself, my fellow history students, and the departments of philosophy and art history all took to the Brighton Dome on Monday afternoon to walk across a stage for five seconds and shake someone's hand to formally become Sussex University graduates. The ceremony was actually full of far less pomp and boredom than I had imagined, and it was an amazing day.
