A picture of books


As you may have noticed, I'm sharing a lot more book-related posts this year and it's something I hope to continue each month. In (another) new monthly feature, I'll be sharing my thoughts on the books I've finished each month. I'm currently making my way through my 5th book of the month, but here's my thoughts on the four I've already finished!

The Winter Nudes

30 Jan 2015

A picture of winter nude lipsticks


During winter I experiment a lot more with eye makeup, and so I often go for a neutral nude lip to finish of a look instead of something bolder which would clash with my eyes. These are my three current favourites and go-to for a nude lip.

NARS palettes, worth the hype?

25 Jan 2015

A picture of NARS eyeshadow palettes


NARS is one of my favourite high-end brands and whenever they release a new limited edition palette, I'm like a magpie to something shiny. I simply cannot resist! But after one too many impulse buys, and a lot of money thrown away for very expensive palettes, do I really think NARS limited edition palettes are worth the hype?

Ben Nye VS Soap & Glory

23 Jan 2015

A picture of Ben Nye Banana Luxury Powder and Soap & Glory Instant Retouch Pressed Powder


If there’s one thing I can’t be without, it’s a good setting powder. With predominately oily skin, I rely on setting powders to keep my makeup in place throughout the day, as well as keeping oil at bay.

The Muji Storage

21 Jan 2015

A picture of Acrylic Muji Storage
When you’re as obsessed with makeup as me, you soon build up such a stash of products that you try anything and everything to store them in the most convenient way possible. I've previously shared my dressing table, which has a huge bottom drawer for storing the majority of my beauty stash in (see here), but like a lot of beauty bloggers, I can’t help but adore Muji for perfect makeup storage, too.

19 Jan 2015

A picture of the January 2015 The Vegan Kind Box
One of my favourite things to receive through the post each month is The Vegan Kind MonthlyLifestyle Subscription Box. For starters, you really can’t go wrong with delicious food being delivered to your door – and The Vegan Kind boxes always include delicious treats.

18 Jan 2015

A picture of the Models Own Colour Chrome Liquid Metal Effect Collection
It’s not very often I post about nail polishes here on Tattooed Tealady; although I love a cheeky at-home manicure on a weekly basis, nail polish just doesn't excite me very much. That was until the Models Own Colour Chrome Liquid Metal Effect Collection landed on my doorstep this weekend, finally a nail polish collection to get excited about!

A picture of Vine Vera Resveratrol Dark Circle Eye Cream
Until very recently I hadn't heard of Vine Vera, a high-end skincare brand who utilises Resveratrol, an anti-oxidant found in red wine and grapes. A naturally occurring antibiotic, Resveratrol is believed to slow the ageing process, working to improve skin health and elasticity.

A new obsession | Sephora Rouge Infusion

16 Jan 2015

A picture of Sephora Rouge Infusion Lip Duo
I have become such a big fan of Sephora's own beauty range - the Sephora Collection -, a range which I think is highly underrated. My latest Sephora Collection love is a duo set I picked up in my most recent Sephora haul (see here), containing two lip products I just can't get enough of!

Manic Panic Lipstick

A picture of Manic Panic Lipsticks

Manic Panic is a popular brand for bold hair colours, but it’s only recently I became aware of their cosmetics range. Falling in love with the packaging of their lipsticks, I couldn't resist adding two to my beauty stash. Bold black and silver with the Manic Panic logo and tops dotted with rhinestones, they are gorgeous! But are the lipsticks as amazing as the packaging?

Appleyard London 40 Rose Bouquet | 40% Discount

10 Jan 2015

A picture of the Appleyard London 40 Rose Bouquet
With Valentine’s Day just a month away, it’s time to start thinking about what to gift our special significant others. Last year Valentine’s Day was a big day for my partner and I – we moved into our first house together, and we've spent the first year making a house a home. Because moving day fell on Valentine’s Day, it meant we had to cancel our dinner reservations, so I'm really excited that this year we’ll be able to celebrate properly.

Giving Ted Baker beauty a try

A picture of the Ted Baker Beau Box
Although I’ll only ever dream of fitting into the clothes range, I've been a big fan of Ted Baker and particularly the beautiful accessories range for a few years now, forever lusting after the latest designs and collections. Over the past couple of years I've seen more and more rave Ted Baker beauty reviews and I've finally been giving some of the products within the range a try after receiving a gift set at Christmas. After giving them a try over the past week, I thought it was time to share my thoughts on this ever expanding beauty range.

YSL Babydoll Kiss & Blush 05 Rouge Effrontée

A picture of YSL Babydoll Kiss & Blush 05 Rouge Effrontée
When Yves Saint Laurent released their Babydoll Kiss & Blush range, they took the beauty world by storm. Everywhere I looked people were raving about these multi-purpose, beautifully presented light-weight little pots of joy that comes in every shade you can imagine, with a shade perfect for every skin-tone, any time of year. But are they really as good as everyone says?

The Winter boots | Earth Spirit

A picture of Earth Spirit Boots Tulsa Black
The last time I managed to slip my rather chunky legs into boots, was in high-school. I had a pair of ridiculously ugly burgundy red faux-snakeskin boots that I used to keep in my locker, boots that my mother had specifically banned me from wearing, so naturally I wore at every opportunity I had. That was over 10 years ago - and since then I have seriously struggled to find any boots that would squeeze over my chunky calves. Then I found Earth Spirit.

I've already covered my favourite makeup, hair care and body care, including some of my favourite products and brands from both high-street and high-end, but now it’s the turn of skincare, and the products which really impressed me in 2014.

theBalm Hawaii Driver License Face Palette

A picture of the theBalm Hawaii Driver License Face Palette
Over the past few weeks I have really loved quick and easy looks. I don’t have the time to sit and indulge in applying makeup like I used to, and sometimes there’s nothing better than a simple look with products applied in the right way to enhance your features, instead of going overboard with a million products.

Reading in January

A picture of The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton and The Winter Garden Mystery by Carola Dunn
When I finished my degree last summer, one of the things I was most excited about with having more time on my hands was being able to sit down and indulge in reading again. I've always been an avid reader, but throughout my degree and especially the final year when my dissertation was taking over my life, I simply did not have the time to indulge in reading for pleasure.

A picture of the best red lip products from MAC, NARS, OCC, Lime Crime, Revlon, Sephora, Illamasqua and NARS
I’m a sucker for a red lip. There’s something timeless and classic about a bold red lip, a shade which always stands out from the crowd – a shade that instantly makes me feel more confident.

Favourite hair care of 2014

4 Jan 2015

A picture of the best hair care products of 2014


Hair care. An aspect of beauty that I don’t get overly excited about, a side of beauty I still see more of a ‘chore’ than a pleasure – blame the stylist in me. After years of hairdressing, you quickly lose the motivation to spend that same time and effort on your own hair, and so hair care for me is always about the most effective, fuss-free products possible. I want products that are quick and easy to use, yet give my hair the benefits of any long pamper or styling session. Here are my favourite hair care products of 2014.

Top budget skincare picks

3 Jan 2015



It’s no secret skincare is my favourite aspect of beauty, my favourite way to pamper and relax. There’s nothing nicer after a long day than enjoying a good double-cleanse, and a cheeky face mask if I’m in an extra pampering mood. The majority of brands in my skincare stash are high-end, and overall high-end skincare has always shown the most benefits to my skin in the long-term. Yet throughout 2014 I found some absolute gems from budget brands which have made their way into my favourites pile as some of the best skincare products out there – products perfect for any budget. These are my top budget skincare picks.

Neal's Yard Remedies Healing Foods

2 Jan 2015

A picture of the Neal's Yard Remedies Healing Foods
I'm a firm believer in a healthy body meaning a healthy mind. It’s why over the past year or so I've been making positive changes in my lifestyle to try and make my body the healthy haven it deserves to be, instead of a dumping ground for junk food. In 2014 I introduced a lot of foods into my diet which I had never even heard of before – like Chia Seeds, Goji Berries and Matcha, and 2015 is the year that I want to continue this trend.

The everyday bag | Fiorelli Mia Grab Bag

A picture of the Fiorelli Mia Grab Bag
Handbags have always been a weakness of mine. Just a quick look in my wardrobe will show you that – bags of all sizes, colours and brands. I like different bags for different occasions, brighter bags in summer, and darker bags in the colder months. Big bags, small bags and everything in-between. I have a thing for bags. Yet finding that perfect everyday bag has always been a hard one for me; I’ll find the right colour, but it wouldn't be the right size, or it’ll perfect size and a colour that just isn't me. That was until the Fiorelli Mia Grab Bag* £55 came into my life.

Bobbi Brown beauty books, worth the hype?

1 Jan 2015

A picture of Bobbi Brown Beauty Books
For a long time now, Bobbi Brown has been my favourite high-end brands. There's something about Bobbi Brown products which just stand out for me. The quality is always phenomenal, I love the sleek yet bold packaging, with formulas that work wonderfully with my skin to keep my makeup looking freshly applied all day. But there's something else I adore about Bobbi Brown, and that's the ever-expanding range of beauty books.
