What I've Learned About Blogging Since Working in SEO

Wednesday, May 04, 2016

Hello! What feels like a major case of 'long time no see' is back and to be honest, it feels good to be back.

For those of you that actually remember who I am (thanks!), I'm the person who started up this blog and then neglected it when I got a job. Yes - I feel bad but let's move on.

If you didn't catch the memo from my last post - which let's face it, you probably didn't - then you'll know that I recently got a new job! I've been working as a PR exec at an SEO agency and though that this blog could be brought back to life with the new stuff I've been learning.

So what better way to kick things off than with what I've learned so far?

MAC Rebel Lipstick Review

Friday, January 29, 2016

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of bold lipsticks. Anything from MAC's Russian Red to the Kate Moss 107 lipstick, I'm obsessed with. There's just something about bold lipsticks that I can't put my finger on but I can't get enough of them. An old bold lipstick favourite of mine is MAC's Rebel; one that I loved last year but somehow found it's way to the back of my makeup collection and not been used since. In a bid to downsize my collection and get use out of my old products, I 'shopped my stash' and fell in love with this all over again.

New In: Makeup Geek

Wednesday, January 27, 2016

If there's one brand that I've seen hyped-up to the heavens, it's Makeup Geek. Since it's only readily-available in the US, the cost of shipping & delivery time has put me off ever ordering from them. Earlier this month was my birthday so I thought I'd treat myself to a litter order - it's safe to say it won't be my last! As soon as my parcel came I photographed it, swatched and then played around, ending up wearing way too much makeup for a Tuesday morning... Isn't that always how makeup deliveries play out?

What Do the MAC Lipstick Finishes Mean?

Monday, January 25, 2016

I seem to always mention this on my blog but I remember the first day I bought a MAC lipstick like it was yesterday. I walked in with no idea what I wanted (or what to expect), and I found the whole 'buying my first bit of expensive makeup' thing a bit overwhelming. The colours, smells and different consistencies confused me - not to even mention the finishes. Over the years I've been collecting them, I've gotten to grips with the different finishes so I thought I'd create a quick guide for anyone who was confused as me!
