A NEW LOOK

I decided it was time to give Vex in the City a makeover. Gone is my trademark black background, and in its place is a fresh new look, which I hope you like. I'm still editing my labels so bare with me as I ensure my back catalogue of blog posts are all showing up in their designated categories. Let me know what you think in the comments, or tweet me,


I did fall out of love with blogging for a while but realise that the key to staying motivated is staying true to myself. Beauty blogging and its community have changed a lot since I wrote my first post on Vex in the City over five years ago, but the positives outweigh the negatives and it's still a pastime that I enjoy when I get into the zone.

In other news, Cassius is now four months old and an absolute joy! His giggles melt my heart and he's such a sweetheart. You can follow the progress of his Royal Cutness over on my Instagram account, along with the other random snapshots of my day to day shenanigans.

Follow me on Twitter, Bloglovin', Tumblr and Pinterest, I do have a tendencey to get a bit pin-happy when the mood takes me! Oh and Google , yes, Google ...has anyone actually figured out the point of it yet?

I feel so out of the loop with the latest beauty launches...which must-have products do I need to try? Have MAC announced an upcoming collaboration with One Direction?! Any new blushes I should be taking a look at? Let me know!
