The daytime version of me has officially left the building 😂🌙

Makeup OFF.
Hair dealt with.
Skincare slapped on.
Any remaining motivation… gone.

There’s no 27-step nighttime routine happening here tonight 😂 Just me removing the day from my face and preparing to become horizontal for the foreseeable future.

Why does getting ready for bed sometimes feel like the biggest chore of the entire day though?! 😩

But we did it. Face is clean, skincare is on and I can finally crawl into bed looking like an entirely different person to the one who started this video 😂🙌🏼

Goodnight from the un-glamorous side of beauty 💤🤍

POV: I finally decided to make an effort 😂💄

From “absolutely not” ➡️ “okayyy… she’s back” ✨

There’s just something about doing your hair and makeup that can completely change how you feel. Same woman, same day… just with a little more confidence and a LOT more makeup 😂

Sometimes the glow-up isn’t about looking better for anyone else — it’s just nice to look in the mirror and think “there I am.” 🖤

Wait… a foundation that CHANGES COLOUR to match your skin?! 👀🤯

I had to put this one to the test!

This is the Smooch colour-changing foundation. It starts off looking like it couldn't possibly be the right shade… then as you work it into the skin, the colour begins to adapt. ✨

And THIS is exactly why I wanted to show you the application rather than just show you the finished makeup.

You can actually watch it change on my skin. 👀

Then, of course, came the real test…

How does it look with a full face of makeup?

Well… you saw the ending. 😍💄

I love finding products that are a little bit different, and a colour-changing foundation definitely got my attention.

What do we think — gimmick or genius? 👀

Life feels really heavy at the moment.

Today I didn't have the energy to talk through products, explain what I'm using or give you a verdict. I didn't really have the energy to talk at all.

So I just sat down and did my makeup. 🤍

Sometimes makeup isn't about looking younger, looking prettier or trying the newest product.

Sometimes it's just something familiar.
Something you know how to do when everything else feels a little bit out of your control.

So there’s no product list today. No review. No Order in the Court. ⚖️

Just me doing my makeup, and if you're learning, hopefully you can pick up a few little techniques just by watching along.

And if you're having one of those days too… you don't always have to explain it. Sometimes just getting through the day is enough. 🤍

A little skincare/self-care moment ✨🧖🏻‍♀️

There is something SO satisfying about actually taking the time to do your skincare properly rather than rushing through it! 😂

Taking a few minutes to work everything into the skin, give the face a little massage and just enjoy the process… because skincare isn’t only about the products you use, it’s about how you use them too. 🤍

And can we appreciate that fresh, glowy skin at the end?! ✨

I’m really trying to be more consistent with taking that extra bit of time with my skin rather than just slap, rub, DONE 😂

Would you actually take the time to do this… or are you a 30-second skincare and into bed kind of person? 👀😂

Okay… this might be an unexpected cleanser crush 🤭💙

The CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser might not have been the most obvious choice for my skin, but sometimes a product surprises you!

What I really love is how my skin feels after cleansing — properly clean and refreshed, without that horrible stripped feeling I really don't like from a cleanser.

It's simple, easy to slot into my routine and, most importantly, my skin feels good afterwards. And that's exactly what I want from my everyday skincare. 🫧✨

So yes CeraVe… I think I understand the assignment. I've officially got a little 💙😂

Have you tried this one? And which CeraVe cleanser is YOUR cleanser crush? 👇

If you wear nano Link hair extensions, this might help you! 🙌🏼🤎

I use GooGoo Hair Extensions and honestly, these have lasted me longer than any extensions I've used before. I get so many comments on my hair and I absolutely LOVE them. 🥰

In this video I'm showing you two things:

✨ How I put in a completely new Link extension
✨ How I remove an existing one and reinstall it after my natural hair has grown

You can move Links back up towards the scalp as your hair grows, but personally I don't like doing that anymore. I prefer to completely remove mine, give my natural hair AND the extension a proper brush through, then reinstall it back up at the root. I find this helps me avoid getting that knotting around the regrowth.

The one downside I've found with Links is the ring itself. Mine originally started off brown and has actually worn down to SILVER because I've had this hair for so long 😂 With traditional nano extensions you can simply replace the nano ring, whereas I haven't found a way of replacing just the Link on these yet.

But for actually fitting them? I find Links SO much easier. 🙌🏼

And just WAIT until you see how much my own hair has grown underneath these extensions… 👀

That's my next video because the growth has genuinely shocked me! 🤯

Hope this helps anyone using Links or thinking about trying nano extensions. 🤎

If you're young and you've just bought one of those massive 10-step skincare bundles from TikTok Shop… please don't put it all on your face tonight.

And I don't mean that in a judgemental way. Some of those bundles are AMAZING value. But your skin doesn't care that it came as a bundle — it doesn't mean you need to use every product at once.

Start with one new product, maybe two at most. Give your skin time. See how it reacts. See whether you actually LIKE the product and whether your skin actually NEEDS it.

Because if you introduce ten new products and suddenly your skin is red, itchy, dry or breaking out… which product caused it? You won't know.

And please look at what the product is actually FOR.

If you're 15, 16, 18 and you've got beautiful young skin with no fine lines, you don't need to build an entire routine around anti-ageing products just because an influencer is using them.

And oily skin doesn't automatically mean you need to attack the oil either. Oily skin still needs hydration. If you're constantly using harsh products and over-cleansing, you can irritate and dehydrate your skin and damage that lovely skin barrier we're all trying to protect.

As we get older, our skin changes. My skincare needs are completely different to yours — and that's NORMAL.

So don't copy somebody else's ten-step routine.

Learn YOUR skin. Start simple. Add things slowly. And give each product enough time to show you what it's actually doing.

Your skin doesn't need everything TikTok sells you. ❤️

The brows are brow-ing! 😍✨
A little brow appreciation post because I honestly couldn't be happier with them!
I popped into Beauty of Abshot to see the lovely Andrea before Kieran's fight. I normally have a brow lamination, but she's so good she's always fully booked (which says it all! 🤍), so this time we went for a wax and tint instead.
Andrea is such a perfectionist. She takes so much care with every step, making sure the shape is just right, everything is spotless and professional, and she even finishes by applying a little makeup afterwards so I don't leave looking red and sore.
I always leave feeling so much more confident, and I absolutely love my brows every single time.
Thank you so much, Andrea. You're definitely my go-to brow lady! 🤎
