I have a confession to make: I am a hardcore beauty junkie. By this I don’t just mean that I enjoy putting on lipstick and getting my hair done, but rather that I will refuse to rest until I have tried approximately 326 products in any given beauty category (mostly so that I can feel smug at being able to decide which is the best). I don’t just use one moisturiser; I currently have 12 on rotation. And there are a total of 32 hair products (!) currently in my bathroom. And that says nothing of the two storage tubs of products that are stashed under my bed waiting to be trialled, the tubes of hand cream and bottles of perfume scattered on tables all over my house, or the 5 lipbalms/sticks/glosses in each of my handbags (in case I decide to change colours by lunchtime… as you do).
I am not saying this is normal (or even commendable) behaviour, but it does make me useful for one thing: dishing out beauty tips. Yes, I am that girl who my friends and colleagues and lovely readers come to when they want to know which face cream will make them look like a radiant 15 year old and which are just a waste of money, what on earth a serum is, how to zap the world’s biggest pimple, or where to go for the best haircut in London. Rather embarrassingly, I usually know the answer. And if I don’t, I make it my mission for the next fortnight to find out and report back.
So from now on, I’ll be doing regular mid-week beauty posts on any and every subject vaguely related to the world of beauty in amongst my usual ramblings about glittery shoes and wardrobe essentials. I’ve got a cluster of posts lined up, but please do reply or email with any special requests/beauty-related questions and I will happily oblige by doing a post on the subject.
Until then my lovelies…
Love, Miss B xx
damn! you’re the bomb! xo
Oh that sounds like fun 🙂 I love seeing what you get up to & it’ll be fun to get your thoughts on makeup & skincare.
May I say, I agree, you are a hardcore beauty junkie! 🙂
These nail polish color are wonderful.We like how you playfully use these to attain a beautiful effect.
Much love from the SABO SKIRT girls!
ahahah it looked exactly like the description of me 😀
Sometimes I’m scared of the quantity of beauty stuff I have (and keep buying) but I love it this way, I’m a “beauty girl” ever since I’m 14 and I don’t think I’ll ever change 😀

Good for you! Nothing wrong with being a beauty junkie! It clearly pays off because you always like amazing.
Now down to business… I agree with Nadia, I’d love to which cream will make me look like a radiant 15 year old.
I would love to know of any good face primers you can recommend?
Hello!
I’m a fellow aussie living & working in London for the last 6 years – and an avid follower of your blog 🙂
I’ve never commented before etc – but just wanted to say i’m looking fwd to Beauty Weds!
I’ve been patiently growing my thick black wavy frizzy mane of hair out – can you recommend a fab London hairdresser for me to get my next cut? 🙂

I love beauty junkies!!!
I too would love a few recommendations!
Best face primer you’ve used, and is one of your 32 hair products by any chance a ‘root lifter’?
Thank you!

I am a relatively new reader to your wonderful blog and I love the idea of doling out beauty advice in addition to the throng of fashion posts that you do. Anything regarding skincare tips (and/or how to treat crisis situations like a breakout) would be fantastic!

just discovered you via glitter guide and so love your blog! especially looking forward to your wednesday beauty posts as a fellow beauty addict 🙂
I love this post. I am similar to you in this aspect. Some people just don’t understand, but I explain it like this. today i might want to smell like coconut, tomorrow watermelon, and Friday. cherry. I might use a shower gel for 1 month, but that doesn’t mean i wont try anything new!!! lol I mean different products do different things, there is no one stop shop when it comes to beauty/cosmetics/products.
