Is The Face Halo Worth The Hype?

- All links in this post are affiliate links. For more info head to my disclaimer. - 

I don't know about you, but when I'm at the checkouts of Boots I can't help but be enticed by the hairbands, cute miniatures and the array of products that I don't need and after only going in for a new mascara and I always come out with £87.95 less in my bank account. This is what happened when I spotted the Face Halo, a reusable face pad that is described as "the modern makeup remover" and I thought after seeing it everywhere I'd put it to the test. 

I've tried a similar product in the form of the Magnitone London WipeOut! MicoFibre Cloth*, so I knew that it had to live up to that or offer something a little different. At first glance, the Face Halo is palm sized which is smaller than its competitor, but to be honest it doesn't really make that much of difference once it comes down to using it. 

When it comes to removing my makeup, the face halo is great at removing my eye makeup, but if I'm wearing a particularly heavy look I do like to use a eye makeup remover first as I find that it can tug a little on my eyelashes and eyebrow hairs. I use one side of the face halo per use, but I've got to admit it only gets rid of the bulk of my makeup and I definitely need to go in with a second cleanse to make sure everything is off. 

Although the face halo and competitors are good ideas for those of you who are trying to use less cotton pads, there are several downfalls in my opinion. The first one has to be the smell. I've not seen people talk about the smell often, but it's something that cannot be ignored. After you wet the cloth, use it on your face and set it on the side to dry to be used the next day, when you come back to it even just an hour later, it has a weird scent to it. It's not too off putting when you're in the middle of using it, but when you first get a whiff it isn't pleasant. I'm not sure if it's the outside material or the slight bit of cardboard (?!) inside that's causing it, but in my opinion due to the amount of time it takes to get stinky, I wouldn't put it down to the makeup products used. The other downside is along similar lines as I think it would be best if you got a few backups of the Face Halo so that you can have a wash cycle that would been you're never left with a dirty cloth. If you only have one you can find yourself without a cloth to remove your makeup especially if you wear makeup everyday. 

To sum up my review, I think that for £7 to get 200 uses out of it is really good and will save you money in the long run, but I would be interested to find out what the Face Halo does look like in 6 months time to put this claim to the test. I'll definitely be getting my use out of it and it's great when paired with the rest of my skincare routine just to make it that little bit easier. If you're a fan of the classic flannel and you wanted to step up your game, then this would 100% be the product for you as you'll definitely see a difference in how well it removes your makeup. 

Have you tried the Face Halo? Did you rate it?

Insta Story Hacks - The Best Typography and Designs

After the success of my previous Instagram story hacks post all about filters and GIFs, I thought it was time that I added to this series.  As I mentioned before I've been trying to improve my Insta stories (follow pintsizedphoto to never miss one!) over the last few months, I thought it was about time I shared my favourite typography hacks and how little design additions that can spruce up any photo. 

Typography tips | Although I love spontaneous Insta stories where you don't have to think about them too much, when I'm on a mission to make them better or I'm trying to put more effort in, typography is the first thing I add. After scouring Pinterest for ideas, I saw a few people doing a similar thing to the first image in this blog post and I just went from there. Here are a few other ways to up your typography game: 

• Layer text up two or three times. I either use strong or classic to do this, changing the colours has I overlay the text with slight overlap. 
• Use individual letters in different colours. This is similar to the second image in this blog post. Start by typing out the word, each letter at the time. This works best in classic font. 
• Make your font multicoloured. This can be done by either highlighting a letter in a word and changing the colour each time or by highlighting the whole word, you can have one finger on the end of the highlighted text moving left/right and the other find on whatever colour gradient you would like. 
• Layer up two different text fonts. Similar to the first image where I've layered up the strong font with spaces in-between followed by the same word in neon font over the top. 

Design hacks for Instagram | These probably won't come as a surprise to you as you've probably seen this featured on the likes of Pinterest and Tik Tok before, but here are a few examples of design hacks that could make your life more useful and they've come in handy for me several times when I want to spruce up my content. 

• Swipe up to pick a photograph previously saved on your phone. Tap the 'write' in the top right hand corner. Choose a colour and hold your finger for a couple of seconds until the screen fills with that colour. Select the 'write' button again and press the erase icon on the far right hand side. Swirl or tap to reveal the photograph underneath. 
• For a light colour overlay over a photograph. Tap the screen as if you're going to write something. Just select a full stop in classic font in the colour you'd like to select. Make the full stop bigger by pinching the screen, pulling your two fingers apart. You can change whether the colour is solid or semi-transparent by selecting the "A" icon on the top left hand side. Move the full stop around until you're happy with it's position, whether it's covering a corner like the last photograph in this blog post or covering the full photograph entirely.

New Season Beauty Releases

- All links in this post are affiliate links. Head to my disclaimer for more info -

February is slowly coming to an end and after the 56 days in January, I think the start of March and hopefully the start of warmer weather is going to be welcomed with open arms. Over the last few weeks there's been some new releases in beauty and I've put together a selection of my favourite products that I want to (and I think you) check out! 

There's some great new releases when it comes to existing brands releasing skincare products. Milk Makeup are now doing their own Cleanser which I'm super excited to try as I'd love to know how it lives up to the hype of their makeup products. Huda Beauty are also now branching out and released their Wishful Yo Glow Enzyme Scrub which I'll be waiting for the reviews before picking up as I tend to be quite careful when it comes to exfoliators. 

We have to talk about Charlotte Tilbury's newest release and maybe their most exciting yet - the Pillow Talk collection! With the excitement around their new Instant Eye Palette and Luxury Palette of Pops, I think it's easy to overlook the Pillow Talk Beauty Light Wand, a product that has gone straight to the top of my wishlist as it looks super dreamy and I love the original one anyway. 

I've spent most of my time when researching new products looking at brands that I've never heard about before, but I feel like I've found some serious gems. The first has to be the Versed Baby Cheeks Hydrating Milk which looks like it'd be right up my street and I'm not sure if it's just the cute pale pink packaging that enticed me in, but I still think I need to give it a try anyway. Similarly, the other product reeled me in with their aesthetics as well and it's the Dear Dahlia Dual Palette which contains two blushers that I think would look beautiful on the cheeks throughout Spring and Summer. 

What beauty products are on your wishlist right now?

A Look In My Winter Makeup Bag

 - If a product is marked with a * it is a PR sample, but was sent under no obligation to review. All links in this post are affiliate links. -

If there's one season that isn't particularly inspiring when it comes to makeup, it's Winter. Christmas has red lips, Autumn has berry and throughout the warmer weather I opt for glowy skin, but during the first few months of the year it tends to fall flat. To inspire me I've dug out some of my old favourites in a quest to use up these products before Spring. 

First up is the Pixi Makeup Setting Spray*, which I spritz all over my face before I go in with my foundation. I've been using to base products at the moment, the bareMinerals Complexion Rescue* and It Cosmetics CC Cream*. When mixed together it creates a natural looking, radiant base that matches rather pale Winter complexion very well. 

After concealer, I set my whole face with the Huda Beauty Loose Powder* especially underneath the eyes and around my t-zone. For contour and bronzer, I use the Milk Makeup Baked Bronzer* as it can be used after powder or under as it doesn't mess with whatever you put it on. I've done a full blog post review on it before, but it's such a great colour for contouring on my skin tone as it doesn't look too orange or grey. 

On my eyes, I've been using the new Rimmel London Scandaleyes Volume on Demand after I was influenced to buy it after seeing it a lot on Instagram. When it comes to mascara it isn't often that I fall head over heels with one, but this offering is perfect. My eyelashes look longer and fuller, plus they last all day too. 

There's been two lip products that I've been alternating between, the first being the Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Queen Lipstick* which is the perfect red lip and never fails to brighten up any outfit. The other option is the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk* and Pixi LipLift Gloss* pairing which is my go-to as it's great for everyday wear.

Creating A Cosy Home For Spring

- All links in this post are affiliate links. For more info head to my disclaimer. - 

Considering we're in the midst of a storm at the moment, I may be jumping ahead of myself when I say that I'm looking forward to Spring already. I've slowly started to build a homeware wishlist for the new season as I'm looking for airy light pieces that when paired together will give a cosy feel to the whole house. 

It's this time of the year that I struggle the most with motivation as I often struggle to find inspiration in my surroundings both outside and in my home too. Throughout January I opted for a cabin feel with wooden tones and the remnants of Christmas decorations, but as we're quickly heading towards March and enviably the dark evenings, I've started to incorporate rattan pieces and brass accents into my decor. 

Throughout my living room, I've started to fill sparse areas with greenery as trialling plants always cheers me up. I've got shelves in several places including a ladder bookcase which I want to update now as they've ended up getting random trinkets I don't know where else to put them. I've moved my Roberts Radio around a few times until I found a spot I was happy for it to sit in, but now there's a couple of places that need filling. I've got a big lamp by our pink chair and a floor lamp that gives off the most beautiful soft, warm lighting, but I'm looking for maybe another one as I find that they create the perfect ambience for early Spring and Summer evenings. 

In my bedroom, the corner that I started last Summer never really got finished as I changed my mind half way through, but I've finally started to think of new ideas again. I've got a couple of hats already handing up there, but I want to put the rest up too alongside a print or tapestry as well. This corner is a particular favourite of mine as it really makes me bedroom feel cosy without overcrowding it either. 

Below are some of the pieces on my wishlist at the moment:

Valentine's Day Makeup

- If a product is marked with a * it is a PR gift, but was sent under no obligation to review. All links in this post are affiliate links. -

Valentine's Day for me is all about having the excuse to dress up in a LBD and wear my favourite makeup with lots of glitter and a red lip. I've slowly started to incorporate more pinks on my eyes, cheeks and lips, as well as practising my full face, yet glowy base over the last two weeks, so I thought I would share with you my final Valentine's Day date makeup with you today. 

To improve the longevity of my makeup, I spritz my face with the Pixi Makeup Setting Spray* before I go in with the Charlotte Tilbury Wonderglow* to get my radiant base off to a good start. For foundation, it's the It Cosmetics CC Cream* and bareMinerals Complexion Rescue* that I'm currently using for a flawless, yet natural look that you can easily build on and apply concealer on top of. 

After setting my makeup and adding bronzer, I go in with a blusher to add a subtle pink flush to the cheeks and highlighter to add a glow! Then it's on to eyes and I like to go in hard with the shimmer starting with the Stila Shimmer Glow Liquid Eye Shadow* all over the lids and then applying the ABH Sunset Aura Loose Highlighter* to the inner corners. 

I finish it off with a classic red lip and it has to be Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Queen Lipstick*. It's comfortable, easy to top up throughout the night and looks great no matter what you wear it with. With just a couple of spritzes of perfume, I'm good to go!

10 Things To Do This Valentine's Day

Valentine's day is nearly upon us and although we're pretty organised this year and we booked a table at our favourite restaurant a couple of weeks back, usually I'm in the 'unorganised' group who panic buys a present and plans what to do last minute. If you're looking for things to do this Valentine's Day then I've got your back with this to-do list below! 

• Make sure you've got a card and present. If you do choose to celebrate Valentine's Day, then get organised now and grab a card and present. 

• Watch a soppy film. If you can't watch a tear jerker now, when can you? I've already done a Valentine's Day to-watch list, but the 14th is the perfect time to sit down with a cosy blanket, snacks and a film from Netflix. 

• Celebrate Galantine's Day. A day before the big day, we now have Galentine's Day, the perfect excuse to meet up with your friends and head out for a meal or have a night in with a film (Bridesmaids or Clueless are good picks!), a takeaway and games. 

• Get dressed up. I've been incorporating more heart shaped or love themed items into my wardrobe throughout February, but on the 14th I like to make the effort and get all dressed up. I will be sporting a red lip and my favourite little black dress to go out to dinner in.

• Have a date night in. Switch off your phone, order pizza in and bundle all the blankets on the sofa. Either start a new series on Netflix or play a game, so you can have a bit of one on one time. 

• Think of a gift idea. I've mentioned a card and gift earlier in the post, but if you're stuck for ideas then I've got you! Krispy Kreme doughnuts, an item of jewellery or sexy underwear always goes down well. 

• Bake or cook your partners favourite food. Does your boyfriend adore a Victoria sponge or does your girlfriend love a spaghetti bolognese? Then it's a great idea if you want to make a small gesture that your partner will appreciate. 

• Make a heart shaped breakfast. There's lots of options in the shops at the moment, but make yourself and your loved one a heart shaped crumpet, pancakes or toast. 

• Start a new Netflix series. We've mentioned films, but if you are having a date night on the sofa then there's lots of Netflix series to delve into. Sex Education is my top pick for the 14th as it's funny, light hearted and super entertaining.

A Cosy Sunday Evening Routine

- If a product is marked with a *, it has been gifted but with no obligation to review. All links in this post are affiliate links. For more info head to my disclaimer. -

In the Autumn and the lead up to Christmas, cosy evenings are one of my favourite activities especially when they consist of films, snacks, blankets and candles. That being said come January and the festivities have worn off, I can start feeling impatient with wanting Spring and the warmer weather to hurry up. I'm trying to avoid that feeling this year by embracing the colder weather, taking a little bit more time out for myself and sprucing up my Sunday's and cosy evenings in. 

As I work from home Monday to Friday, by the weekend I tend to get a bit of 'cabin fever' and I want some fresh air. Saturday morning's tend to be filled with shooting content for Instagram, but the rest of the day and then Sunday I get to do what I please. I know that if I don't get out in the sunshine and instead relax inside throughout the day, I struggle to not only switch off and sleep at night, but I find it hard to enjoy my evening too.  My favourite activities to do to keep myself active is getting on my bike, completing a workout routine at home or going for a long walk. All of these I try and squeeze into my weekend if I can, but my favourite is going out for a bike ride then stretching with a bit of yoga before a steaming hot bath. 

Talking of baths, a pamper is a must on a Sunday. I love nothing more than washing my hair ready for the week ahead, scrubbing off any dry patches or fake tan I have left on and moisturising my body from head to toe. Candles are always a must and I've still been listening to my favourite rainy Sunday playlist that I featured in Autumn's cosy routine blog post. It's over on my spotify 'Pintsizedbeauty' if you fancy a listen - I'd highly recommend it! 

I've been enjoying listening to podcasts when I'm doing my full skincare routine and reapplying my fake tan post-bath, but nothing beats devouring a Netflix series in a weekend or re-watching a favourite film. Talking of skincare, I've now got a set routine that I've been enjoying and it's kept my dry skin at bay. The Soap and Glory Ulti-Melt* has been great at removing my makeup, but it's really my Drunk Elephant F-Balm Waterfacial* that has been saving the day as it's super moisturising and makes my skin look great. 

If I don't want to watch something, I've been trying to make the effort of reading more. I like to settle down with a peppermint tea and some snacks, so I don't have to move for an hour or two whilst I make my way through a book. When I finish a book, I love how it makes me feel and I love that it forces me to take a little while away from the screen, which is even better when it's just before bed. 

Lighting candles around my bedroom and switching on the fairy lights have become a ritual for me over the last couple of months as I really find the low light and flickering flames to be relaxing and set me up for a cosy evening ahead no matter what I get up to. 

What's your ultimate cosy Sunday evening?

Vegan Jammie Dodgers Recipe

I was wracking my brains with what recipe to rustle up for Valentine's Day and then it came to me - heart shaped Jammie Dodgers! Now who wouldn't want a sweet treat on the day of love. Making the recipe vegan was super easy and they are just as delicious as the shop bought ones, so I just had to share. Of course you can make them whatever shape you want, but making them into hearts just felt right. 

I used my pumpkin spiced biscuit recipe for the main biscuit base, but minus all the spices as I want mine a simple vanilla. I did use ready made raspberry jam as I wanted a seedless option, but if you're a dab hand at making your own jam then I thought they'd make these even more scummy (and the perfect gift too!). 

Ingredients (Makes 8) - 

225g Vegan Margarine 
120g Golden Caster Sugar 
180g Plain Flour 
2 Tsp Vanilla Extract 
Jam for the filling. 
Cookie cutter 

Method - 

Pre-heat the oven to 170 degrees. 

Firstly, I put the vegan margarine and golden caster sugar in a bowl and cream until smooth. 

Add 2tsp vanilla extract. 

Slowly mix the plain flour into the mixture and stir until firm. Tip the dough out onto a flat surface sprinkled with flour to stop from sticking. Use your rolling pin to roll out your dough until 5mm thick. Use your cookie cutter to make 8 shapes. 

With half the biscuits that you have cut with the cookie cutter, make a second hole inside using a smaller cookie cutter. 

On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, move the biscuits onto the tray carefully. Place in oven for 12-15 minutes or until lightly brown. 

Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Once cooled, this is when the assembling starts! Just spoon your jam (I use 1/2tsp) onto a biscuit without a second hole in and place one of the biscuits with a hole in on top. Press down gently and let sit before serving. 

Enjoy! 

Did you enjoy this Jammie Dodger recipe? Will you be making them at home?

Sensica Sensilight Mini RPL

- This post is a paid collaboration with Boots UK, but all thoughts are my own. All links in this post are affiliate links. -

With the weather super chilly outside, I find it easy to hide under jeans and tights so I don't have to shave, wax or epilate any part of my body. That being said, I know that now is the perfect time to get into the swing of things, so discovering the Sensica Sensilight Mini RPL* seemed like the best option to add into my body care routine. I've been putting this device to the test over the last 8 weeks as it promises to reduce hair growth in the comfort of your own home. 

How the Sensilight Mini works is with RPL technology which is a form of IPL that reacts to your skin tone and condition to tailor the treatment to your needs. This is also helped but the three different energy levels that you can choose from as you can build up if you're new to the treatment. You press the device so it has direct contact with your skin, it then sends a flash every three seconds, once it's flashed you move the device to the test part of your skin. 

When testing this out, I mainly focused on my legs as this is the area I have to shave the most. I noticed after a few sessions that the hair was growing slower meaning that going the two weeks you need to leave it between sessions became easier and easier. It's lightweight and can be manoeuvred around the body with ease, getting to all areas no matter how big nor small. 

My initial worry when I first starting using the Sensilight was that it was going to be painful as I've had no prior experience with RPL technology before. Although it warms up and may sting depending on what area I'm working on, it really isn't as bad as I thought. As you can cover a whole leg in 10 minutes, I feel like the treatment when spread out over a couple of days, really doesn't feel like nothing at all. 

If you're looking to invest in the Sensica Sensilight Mini RPL* then I'd definitely recommend it. I've noticed a change in my hair regrowth and I will be using this over the next couple of months to help me achieve smooth, silky skin ready for the Spring and Summer seasons. Sensica is now available to buy from Boots here and you can also check out the whole Sensica Hair Removal range here as well. 

Would you be tempted to try out the Sensica Sensilight Mini RPL?

5 Things I've Added To My February To Do List

- All links in the widget below are affiliate links. Head to my disclaimer for more info. -

January felt like it went on for 45 days, so February has been welcomed with open arms. I'm very ready to start creating content for Valentine's Day and getting excited for Spring's blooms. That being said, I felt like January was rather productive and a great start to 2020 as I went on a snow holiday to Austria, completed veganuary and got back in the swing of things. Here are five things I've added to my February to-do list:

Go On A Date Night | Valentine's Day always gives us the excuse to go out on a date night to somewhere tasty and enjoy a few drinks. We've already booked our table (we picked Zizzi's!) and I've been planning my outfit too! 

Continue on a 80% Vegan Diet | Doing veganuary was much easier than expected and although I'm still contemplating doing a full blog post about my experiences, long story short is made me realise just how easy it was for me personally to transition from a vegetarian diet to a vegan one. We'd already switched our milk to almond, our butter to non-diary and we haven't eaten meat in years, so I think that contributed to how I felt about doing veganuary as it made me realise that we'd been eating vegan a lot throughout the week anyway. That being said, due to certain illnesses I have I'm not 100% ready to commit personally  but I still want to give myself to aim of sticking to vegan meals 5 or 6 days a week, slowly eliminating cheese, chocolate and eggs over time. 

Make Fitness Goals | Throughout January I gave myself the goal of regularly exercising, trying to head out on a walk, go for a long bike ride or do an at-home HIIT or weights workout every day. To my surprise, I did really well and I feel like it helped me get over my January slump. For the next 29 days I want to continue the tradition and not let it slip as I struggle to sleep or relax when it gets dark so quickly in the evenings, but when I've exercised during the day, I find myself drifting off better. 

Create Valentine's Day Content | I can't wait to get my teeth stuck into creating Valentine's Day content from date night outfits to cosy set ups at home. I've just finished decorating my mirror with my latest rose garland and I've just started planning outfits for the next two weeks too, so don't forget to follow me on my Instagram to be kept up to date! 

Vamp up my wardrobe | I've put together a few of my top picks for February, but as you can see there's definitely a monochrome theme. I recently cleared out my wardrobe, fixing any pieces that needed sewing and selling others that I no longer wear anymore. Here is my current wishlist:  

What's on your February to-do list?
