20 Self-Care Tips for 2020 The term "self-care" has been thrown around a lot in the last year or so and I, for one, am HERE for it. However, it can be a little confusing as to what it actually means as it can so easily be confused with just being 'selfish' - which it really is not. The google definition claims it to be:  "the practice of taking an active role in protecting one's own well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress" Which sums up the most important factor being looking after ones own health, emotional and physical well-being and just overall general happiness. It is looking after yourself in any ways that suit you - regardless of how this may look to others - and I think this is where the lines become blurred and people can confuse it for selfishness.  Self-Care is whatever you want it to be! It is different for everyone, and therefore looks different to everyone. Which is the magic of it, r...

"So Sensitive" ♡

-
♡ "You are so sensitive" ♡ Do you find the word "sensitive" is thrown around alot, and mostly holding a negative meaning?  The Oxford Dictionary definition is: "having or displaying a quick and delicate appreciation of others' feelings" Meaning that somebody who is sensitive is thoughtful towards others and their feelings.  Which, I don't feel is a particularly negative trait to have. So how has it come to be used in a negative way to describe a person? 'Oh you're just being sensitive' 'It's a joke... don't be so sensitive' We have come to be so conditioned to be super tough, super hard and to have no emotions in particular situations. This then means that some of us are made to feel silly when we do take slight offence or are sensitive to comments or react differently to how other's believe we should. I have ALWAYS been SUPER sensitive. I can't help it. I like to think I am a kind and car...

Hey there 2020 Friends... It has been a while! And by a while.... I realise it has been a LONG time. Life got hectic, crazy and slightly rude at times but I want to channel some energy back into this as I really miss writing & I feel like I have a lot to say right now. I am going to put a new spin on this blog and talk about topics that I feel are of importance and hopefully touch on some topics that will help some people, too. If there is anything you would like to see from my blog - please let me know Love always, EP xo

Revolution Pro - New Neutrals ♡

♡ Revolution Pro - New Neutrals Palette ♡ Seriously though ... how could I walk past this beaut in Superdrug and NOT pick it up to have a good old feel?! This packaging caught my eye originally ... I am a magpie for anything gold / sparkly / leopard print so this had me completely sold !!  It has Huda-esque vibes... following the same colour scheme and with the same idea of pressed foils & glitters but for £12 instead of £50ish. I am all for a dupe and with it being Revolution you know you are going to get decent quality. There is a mix of gorgeous, blendable mattes, foils and 3 pressed glitters which perform really well on top of the cream ‘base’ shade or over other shadows. For my first look with this, I worked my way through the pinks - delight, whisper, karma - and mauves - rumour and zoned in the crease to build up a soft blend using the darkest purple - magestic - on the outer edge. I then applied the base cream and the beautiful pressed gli...

♡ Make Up Revolution x Rachel Leary ♡ "Goddess on the Go" Okay, so when I first saw on Rachel's Instagram that she was releasing palettes with Revolution I was like 'aaaaaggghhh'!! *insert Home alone shocked face here*... She is one of my favourite YouTubers in being so funny, normal and down to earth and I love how her make up always looks so effortless but STUNNING & she always looks so  glowwwy! So you just knew she was going to release an incredible palette...  Plus Revolution is one of my favourite make up brands - they are such an all-rounder when it comes to price, pigment and longeivity! You knew it was going to be a good one ♡ Cue this badboy!! Rachel did release 2 palettes infact, "Goddess on the go" (above) and "Ultimate Goddess" which is HUGE & equally as gorgeous. I opted for the smaller of the 2 as I just wanted to give this one a go & I thought i'll get the bigger one (next payday!) If I liked thi...
