Hi there! My name is Kirsty, I'm nineteen years old and I live in a small Scottish town just outside of Glasgow. Here you will find all of my make-up, hair and nail thoughts, and also some natterings from my day-to-day life. Being a student, I tend to stick to a budget for my cosmetics so expect a lot of high street budget buys. And as a warning, this blog will occasionally turn into a shrine to nail polish.

I havent done an empties post in so long and to be honest thats because Im too forgetful to keep a hold of empty products rather than just firing them straight in the bin! So over the last few weeks,...

MUA blushers

Benefit High Beam

Casting my mind back over the past few years, I dont think I had ever been a user of highlighters until recently. You dont imagine how influential blogs and videos can be but after a lot of dabbling ...
