Everyone has their own signature lipstick, the one you wear with everything and anything. The one you find in the bottom of your bag, just when you thought you'd lost it and were about to go into meltdown mode. Well this is that lipstick for me, and considering it costs £26 I probably shouldn't be just letting it roam in the bottom of my handbag. I've only started getting into high end beauty brands about 18 months - 2 years ago, and I think because I didn't spend my money on a lot of extravagant things I thought 'why not, treat yo'self', and there's been no looking back. Yves Saint Laurent is obviously a high end brand, and not just know for their luxurious ... read more
20 Before 20 Bucket List
It’s crazy to think that in just 4 weeks I’ll be turning 20. I’ll have lived 25% of the average life expectancy here in the UK. Unbelievable. I can’t help but think of all the things I wish I’d have done. Todays post isn’t about beauty. It’s about time. Time spent, time wasted, and time I want to spend on achieving certain things before I leave my teen years for good. 1. Go somewhere without makeup on. I want to be brave enough to go out in public, shopping or out to eat without makeup on. It’s not that I am ugly, or that I’m hiding behind anything but I do have some anxiety about not being the best version of myself when I leave the house. This includes my appearance, and I ... read more
Have Courage and Be Kind
I’m not usually one for clichés, but "have courage and be kind" really seems to have resonated with me recently. Granted, I don’t always succeed in having an abundance of courage or kindness, although I do try, especially with the latter. But life is teaching me a lot of valuable lessons recently, the sort of knowledge no college or university can offer. I’m in the school of life, and I really am learning the value of both courage and kindness. When I think of where I want my life to go, and what kind of person I want to be, It’s all good and well wanting to be ‘successful’ ‘financially independent’ ‘respected’ ‘hard working’, they’re all great things to be. But would ... read more
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation
The Charlotte Tilbbury Magic Foundation very quickly became my go to, it has the perfect finish, the shade is an almost perfect match, it's so blendable, it dries flawlessly, it doesn't make me look any oilier than I already am, it doesn't smudge, and it has great coverage. The only 'negative' thing I would say about this foundation is you need some sort of moisturizer or primer on, and Charlotte has got you covered, her Magic Cream was created and is ideal for this foundation (although I have now run out of the Magic Cream, and am nearly out of the foundation... I feel a repurchase coming on!) I originally bought shade 1, as I am very pale, and usually always have to go for the ... read more
Sephora Favorites ‘Give Me Some Nude Lip’ Review & Swatches
I am absolutely buzzing to talk about this purchase! Back in January of this year Sephora debuted this little beauty after having a rather successful 'Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Lip' they decided to release a nude edition. Nude lip lovers unite! I have always had a fondness for a nude lip, it is my everyday go-to lip look, and can you blame me? There are obviously certain nude looks that don't suit me, or more specifically, my complexion. I find that when I'm shopping for beauty products I tend to go for sets, or palettes, because that way I (usually) end up saving more money. This gem was priced at $28 (working out at around £21) with two full sized ... read more
A Blogging Hiatus
I'm Back! Not sure that anyone really cares, but, here I am. Over the last year I’ve really pulled away from my blog. I think if I had a following I would feel really bad about neglecting Glamour Pants but since it’s really juts been me, myself and I... aside from a few lovely viewers here and there I felt it was the right thing to do. I’ve had a really difficult 13 months and my blog has, sadly, been the very last of my priorities. I was taken into hospital very ill in July of last year with meningitis, the night I was admitted I was extremely poorly and ended up passing out, having an out of body experience and having seizures. One after another the next day and I had a total of ... read more
