Sleek Solstice Highlighter Palette Review

The day I discovered highlighter products was a very good day for me. Not only do I get to look glittery on an everyday basis, it’s genuinely a fun makeup product to use. It doesn’t feel like a necessity to wear so it makes applying makeup a little less of a chore in the morning.

I am probably one of the last bloggers to pick up this palette but I still wanted to write about it in case you haven’t also tried it yet. It’s quite a popular one and the day I found it in stock at my local Superdrug was a fab day.

Thoughts I’ve had as a Final Year University Student

I’m sat writing this blog post in my final year student house, with four major deadlines coming up over the next month and a half while applying for a masters degree and trying to get as much work experience as I can before I leave. That’s a hell of a lot of pressure for a twenty-year-old to feel.

I remember moving into my first-year accommodation and being absolutely terrified, and later that week being in the introductory lecture for my degree and thinking ‘oh my God I’m not going to be able to do this.’ It genuinely feels like it could have happened last week.

Two and a half years later, I’m munching my way through a packet of Oreos – way too quickly – and wondering if other final year university students feel the same way as me. Any and all reassurance is more than welcome.

Hello, 2018! ✨ Relaunch & Resolutions

Happy new year! Hopefully you’re tucked up in bed after a brilliant New Years Eve. I can’t believe it’s actually 2018. When I was little, everyone always said that time would pass quicker when I got older – they weren’t wrong. I feel like I turned eighteen a month ago when I will actually be turning twenty-one this year, graduating and looking for my first full-time job this year (someone, help me).

*Drum roll* I’m finally relaunching Latte Leanne this month! I started this blog in my first year of university when I had a lot more time than what I do now. Life does get in the way sometimes and that’s absolutely okay, but blogging is something that I used to love so I’m going to try and fit it in where I can.

Cruelty Free Subscription Box | The Pip Box March

Cruelty free beauty and skincare is becoming more in demand by the day. I have been using cruelty free products for almost a year now and it is definitely something I would recommend that you do, too! I have discovered a lot of new products since going cruelty free, all of which are friendly to animals. Ever since I decided to do this however, I have been searching for a cruelty free subscription box.

The Pip Box is a cruelty free beauty subscription box whereby you can subscribe monthly or for three months. I went for the three month plan and received my first box, the March box, very recently. I was so excited to see what arrived inside and I have been introduced to many new cruelty free brands already.
