I absolutely love Gerard Cosmetic's products, especially their liquid lippies. So after seeing this around Instagram here and there and browsing on the Beauty Bay website, I ended up giving in and buying their Slay All Day Setting Spray! I thought i'd do a quick blog post with my thoughts and review on this setting spray as after searching, I never really found much about it and if I did, it was nothing but good reviews, so I wanted to share my honest opinion with you guys, what I liked and what I didn't like about the product. Let me know in the comments if you've tried these sprays and what you thought!
Last month another Kyshadow palette was added to Kylie Cosmetics, and after taking a miss on the first palette, just because it costs a limb, hearing mixed reviews and then seeing some amazing swatches on her Snapchat I HAD to get my hands on this. I was lucky enough that my boyfriend is the biggest babe and bought me the palette as an early birthday pressie, thanks babe!
So, lets talk about prices because thats pretty much the first thing I want to know when I see a product I NEED, well want but you know. The palette itself cost $42 and shipping to the UK was $14.95. Obviously when ordering from the US, it's always a risk whether you will be hit with the dreaded custom charges... unfortunately I was *sad face* FIFTEN BLOODY POUNDS it was, like why? Royal Mail, Why do you do this? Luckily my babe of a boyfriend offered to pay the customs along with "This sh*t is expensive".

I know I haven't been as active on blogging recently and I'm so so sorry my loves! I promise I'll get back into the swing of things soon, I have quite a few posts that are nearly finished, so they will go up this week and next week. But, as it's Autumn, basically Winter here in the UK, keeping warm is everything and I mean, looking good at the same time can also work! I thought i'd put together all the bits that are currently on my wishlist or that I LOVE from Missguided. I honestly can't fault them, everythings affordable and great quality and they usually have really good student discounts going on weekly (20-30% off), so keep an eye out!

Pawsome Box is a monthly subscription, containing surprise items worth over £30, designed for your fur babies! So just like how we have beauty subscriptions... but for dogs! Each box contains 6 items of variety from accessories & hygiene to toys and treats, also they are personalised to match your dog the best! You can either sign up and subscribe as a monthly subscription for £19.90 or you can buy a one of box as a gift. They also have Purrfect Box, which is for cats of course!
Each monthly box is usually dispatched between the 10th-15th and takes around a week to arrived in the UK as it's shipped from Germany. All the items are wrapped nicely in a cute little box which you can see below and wrapped nicely with paw printed tissue paper (so cute)!
Today is a sad day. Unfortunately, I have taken the plunge and this will be my last Birchbox post as I have officially cancelled my subscription... I may re-subscribe in the future, you never know! I love having a monthly beauty subscription, because it's something to look forward to and great to discover new brands and new products and after some thought, I decided to be a traitor and switch over to Glossybox, sorry Birchbox!!! I've never tried it before until this month, but heard many good things. So it's a goodbye to Birchbox for now...
HerClutterBox very kindly sent me the 'Spinning Lipstick & Powder Tower' acrylic storage which is one of their new products and retails for £80.11/ €88.99/ $97.63. They also have so many different models of storage from nail varnish racks to acrylic drawers, which all look incredible. Currently, they have these special bundles of storage pieces for great prices and a massive pre-Christmas sale on right NOW!
As you may know, I like to do monthly hauls as these are one of my most popular posts and do so well! I just want to apologise that I haven't been posting as much recently and that this is going up late this month. It's been a crazy couple weeks as i've just gone back to uni and it's already been manic so I haven't had much time to sit down and blog, but I will definitely make time now the first couple of weeks are done and dusted, sorry guys!

So, it's officially Autumn, well it started last month... BUT YA KNOW. I mean it's officially Autumn in the aspect where it's now acceptable to start wearing cute jumpers, chunky scarfs and getting those booties out. Autumn/winter has to be my favourite season for makeup. The warm browns and orange tones are just 'me' and I like to wear these sort of looks all year round to be honest!

Now that it's Autumn, that means it's definitely bootie season (MY FAVE, YAY!). Heres some of my picks on boots that i'm loving, and if I had all the money in the world, I would own ALL of them, trust me, I would! I hope I haven't tempted you too much to destroy your bank balance, sorry in advance...

Hi lovelies, i'm back with another makeup look, I did say I would do these more often so I hope you're liking them! If you follow me on Instagram (@katherinem_x Go follow me if you want, i'll love you forever haha!) you may have seen I posted this look a couple weeks ago and that I also did this makeup on my brothers girlfriend Leanne! I find that it really compliments brown eyes and I absolutely love anything rose gold, so i'm living for this look.
It's officially September, which means if you got into university (well done!!!), it's the month you may be moving away from home, or from what I have seen, some moved this weekend just gone!
After completing my first year at uni, a couple of months of my second, then transferring universities and taking a gap year (long story), i'm FINALLY going back to uni in a month's time and i'm so excited! It's possibly felt like the longest wait, but at the same time it has come around quick. I won't be a fresher, but after experiencing the whole 'moving away from home & halls' thing, I thought it would be good for me to do a little write up on some advice for moving to university and a little checklist for ya!

Last month I was contacted by Sensuals Beauty for a chance to try out their Beauty Serums* from their range, so of course I had to take this opportunity. I literally said yes instantly as I'm all for trying out Argan Oils, I love the smell! and especially trying out something new for my hair! I've used a couple Argan oil samples before and loved them as they leave my hair feeling soft and amazing, so I was excited to try Sensuals products.
I started off the day meeting up with some other lovely bloggers Ellie, Katie & Sarah (Follow them on Insta @makeupbyelv @katieha11 @sarahdavies__) in Oxford St. where we actually went to meet Nikkie Tutorials at Debenhams for her new launch with TooFaced, it was fate she was there the same day, so we had to! It was completely SURREAL. She's one of my favourite YouTubers and to meet her in the flesh felt like a dream, so annoyed I look like an egg in our photo though lol! Anyways, fan girl moment over and back to this post. Then we did a little bit of shopping, because who can't when you're in London?! and after, we then made our way to the event!
The event was held at the Conrad Hotel in St.James. It was absolutely beautiful, everything you think a luxury hotel would be; classic, amazing interior, a load of posh people lol & afternoon tea. We went down the most beautiful, spiralled stairs to enter the event. On arrival we could grab some drinks and there were tables with pic & mix, and there was the most beautiful Kim K inspired white rose wall for photographs, it was such a nice touch!
There were quite a few brands there set up with their own stalls which we could go have a wander about, explore and chat to the brands more about their products.
A couple of the brands there I had already heard about, but most of them were completely brand new to my eyes, which was great as I love discovering new brands and trying new products, so I was all for it!
Jewellery Box are a brand I have previously seen on Instagram and have the cutest, dainty jewellery pieces. I saw that they were at the #BloggersFestival last year so I was so happy to see them back again this year I was going, and can we talk about their stall? Omg cute!

Hey lovelies!
I'm so so so sorry I didn't post anything this last week, I don't even know why I didn't? But, i'm going to make sure I don't fall down that hole again and get posting a couple times a week!
So here is my August haul post. I didn't get crazy amounts, just bits and bobs here and there, so enjoy!
I'm back again with this month's Birchbox blog post. I'll be honest... I was pretty disappointed with this month's subscription. I know this is only my third month being subscribed to Birchbox, but it has been my least favourite yet! I didn't hate everything in the bag, nor was I absolutely obsessed with everything, which is expected, but this month's products just didn't live up to my other boxes products and I've seen quite the few people on social media who were disappointed too and even quit their subscriptions!!!
So, i'm back again with another makeup look. If you have read my recent blog post on 'Bronzed and Glowy Makeup' and if you haven't, quickly take a visit here, I mentioned I wanted to feature more makeup looks on my blog, which I have been seriously lacking at recently. I've got quite a few makeup looks in mind, so stay put!
I absolutely love warm toned eyeshadows, so I thought i'd create this warm, smoked out eye look and I must say, I really love how it turned out. I don't usually wear dark smokey eyes as often as I would want, as I believe with having brown eyes, I would just look like a goth (lol), but I think this look worked really well and I'll definitely be wearing this look more often!
Hey lovelies, hope you've all had a great weekend! Unfortunately it's Monday again...
Me and my hair fall out all the time, so new hair products are exciting for me, to see if there is anything new that can save our relationship. Today's post is about some Tangle Teezer products, some are new product launches (how exciting?!) and some from their existing collection. I was very fortunate enough to be given some of their products to try out, so I thought I would I might as well feature them in a blog post on my blog and share the love!
I'm back again with a makeup look. Sorry I haven't done one of these in ages, literally since I had started my blog. I had planned to do loads of makeup looks, so i'm definitely going to make more of an effort to include these type of posts on my blog, don't worry!
The past few years have revolved around a huge obsession with Kylie Jenner and her lips. Debates on whether she'd had lip injections and the crazy 'Kylie Lip Challenge' (which was stupid may I add), leading to peoples lips bruising and even to the point of splitting and exploding from using silly objects like shot glasses and candles to plump their lips!
Hey lovelies!
As you probably know, i've been loving beauty subscription boxes and if you follow me on Instagram, I mentioned this cute box on there last week that I received. This is July's subscription box from Little-Known Box* (Insta: @LittleKnownBox) to unbox and review!
