My Thoughts:

MUA's £1 lipsticks have been a favourite of mine for me since I first discovered the brand a few years ago. Their cheap as chips and have pretty great colour pay-off for the price, you could buy all the colours you need (or want!) and not break the bank. What's not to love.

So when I heard they were making Matte Lipsticks (quite awhile ago now...catch up with the times Gem!), I got rather excited. As a lover of bold lips, I know all too well the annoyance of smudged lipsticks, and for me, I've noticed Matte Lipsticks smudge alot less and have great staying power.

So the promise of all that for £1...I had to give them a try. I picked up two colours, which were the ones that appealed to me the most from the selection available in my local Superdrug...so I ended up getting Wild Berry & Scarlet Siren.

The colours are alot more sheer than I had expected, but they can be built up to a more full on colour. And for only £1, that's really not bad. It gives you the choice between having a soft, sheer flush of colour or a full on bold Matte pout.

They dry pretty quick, leaving a gorgeous Matte finish. When their applied sheer, their quite like a stain minus the staining afterwards.

Wild Berry looks scary dark in the tube but it isn't when applied on the lips...it's more of a gorgeous, purple berry colour that looks so pretty. And the red is just stunning, we all know how much I love a red lip.

Overall, their pretty good for the price, not 100% amazing but their really good for the bargain price of only £1.

4.5/5.

Have you tried the Matte Lipsticks before? Or know any other great Matte Lipsticks you think I should try, Let me know in the comments :).

Till the next time,

Unashamedly Me.

Coming back to blogging after a such a unexpectedly long break, felt quite frightening if  I'm completely honest.

Is anyone gonna still be following? Even if they are, are they gonna be interested in the blog anymore? Have I made it too hard to find changing the name and domain?

I must have said 'i'll be back to blogging soon' so many times I've lost count! What makes this time different from all the other times I've said it?


One thing that I can definitely say is different, is my attitude to the bad days. The reason my break kept getting extended and extended was because everytime I had a 'off day' or my mental health was bad, I would struggle to write a post even if I had ones planned or I'd just refuse to write at all till I felt better, and then when I did feel better I'd struggle to get my motivation back up because I felt guilty for not posting. So it became a bit of an endless cycle.

But this time something has just clicked, part of the …

LIFESTYLE // FarGo Village's Autumn Makers Market.

FarGo village is probably one of my favourite places in Coventry. The mixture of its urban setting, the stunning street art and unique local businesses…it's the perfect place if you want something different from the normal high street shops and cafes.

Fargo also have fun and unique events on a regular basis, such as food festivals, vintage fairs and Makers Markets.


Recently I went to the Autumn Maker's Market on behalf of Coventry Bloggers,which is a seasonal market that gives local creatives and small businesses an opportunity to showcase what they do and sell their products. This was my first time visiting the market and I will definitely be going back to the next one! 

When I arrived, I met up with Lucy who is FarGo’s event manager who was really lovely and welcoming and made me feel at ease which was so nice considering this was the first time I'd ever done something like this without other Bloggers around! She told me about the makers market and their passion for suppo…

COVENTRY BLOGGERS|| Body Shop Event.

So the other week, I went to another amazing Coventry Bloggers Event,  arranged by the lovely Emily of Drained Beauty, this time at the Body Shop in Coventry City Centre. 
I'll admit before I went to this event, my knowledge on the Body Shop was limited. I used to always get a gift set from there from an auntie every Christmas and I've followed them on Social Media for awhile now, but it's been awhile since I've tried anything by them. I had misconceptions that they were expensive and out of my price range, but how wrong I was. 
Now onto the event itself!

Most of us met outside before the event, and I have to give a shout out to these girls. Some of them I've met quite a few times already and some I only first met at the event...but they are all amazing, friendly and encouraging people! They have restored my faith in the blogging community, and that's helping me to grow in confidence as a blogger.
When we entered the Body Shop, we were greeted by two lovely st…
