A Glossier Inspiration | My Natural Beauty Top Picks

Glossier - natural beauty inspiration

Glossier stems from the brainchild of former Vogue assistant Emily Weiss. It all started when she was searching the internet for inspiration and couldn’t find anything that spoke to her; enter Into The Gloss, or ITG as it is now more commonly known. Emily created Into The Gloss; a blog where she interviewed models, makeup artists, and the strong women she admired about what they used and why.

The site has since become ‘the holy grail’ of beauty blogs and gained a cult following of dedicated readers from all over the world, leading the way for Glossier to follow. And so it was born, the home of the real-beauty revolution.

Bleach London | White Toner

Bleach is a London-based hair salon that made a very successful leap into launching their own product line, and seems to be one of the few brands that offers a range of colours on the more ‘unusual’ end of the spectrum, in the main high-street stores. Having said that, hair that includes at least one colour of the rainbow has recently become the norm, and Bleach London are making life easier for those of you who are trying to achieve or maintain brightly coloured tresses, without having to spend all of your money in the salon.Read More

Laura Kate Lucas Blog. October Birchbox. Manchester UK Fashion Beauty and Lifestyle.
Nearly November already!? I know right! This month has flown by so quickly I feel like it’s going to be Christmas next week and I’m still sat here wondering when summer ended. I thought about not posting my October Birchbox and waiting until November, but I’ve just managed to squeeze this one in, only 3 days before the end of the month!

This month Birchbox collaborated with Stylist Magazine to offer a selection of two different boxes; the Guest Editor Box and the Back to Basics Box.

The Amazing Advent Calendar Wishlist

liberty london advent calendar 2015 review and contents

The only thing exciting about peeling out of your cosy warm bed on a freezing winter’s day is the excitement of a little treat in the advent calendar. Now, imagine that little chocolate treat that just about lures you out of hibernation, was a little present; different each day and a complete surprise.

Sounds like the best way to wake up, right? And that’s exactly how all the big brands are planning to build up to Christmas this year. With more alternative advent calendars than ever, you will have a job choosing what exactly you want to wake up to each day! From candles to booze to beauty products, they’ve got you pretty much covered no matter what you’re into. There are so many to choose from, all ranging in price, so you can find the perfect advent calendar to suit you.

I completely love this idea and I am having the hardest time deciding which one I am going to go for, but to help I have compiled a list of a selection of my faves along with their contents – so if you are hoping for your advent treats to be top secret then this is a huge spoiler alert!!

Scholl Velvet Smooth Electric Nail Care System

Laura Kate Blog. Manchester based lifestyle and fashion blog. Scholl Velvet Smooth Nail Care System Review. Laura Kate Blog. Manchester based lifestyle and fashion blog. Scholl Velvet Smooth Nail Care System Review.

Here in Manchester it appears that we have completely skipped autumn and are heading straight for winter instead. This means it’s time to up my skin-care game as the cold winter weather can be as harsh on the skin as the sun can, and it’s important to take care of your skin all year round.

I have only really begun to fully understand the importance and get into skin-care and beauty regimes over the last couple of years, and I’ve never been one for doing much more to my nails than painting them or getting them done when I fancy it.

That is, until I got this fancy new nail care system from Scholl to make it a whole lot simpler and to help me take care of my nails.Read More

Hello September & Subscription Boxes

Manchester based fashion and lifestyle blogger. August Birchbox subscription beauty box review.

Happy September Guys!

After not having much of a summer at all here in Manchester, I am a little sad to be saying goodbye to something quite non-existent (as my favourite wardrobe is my summer wardrobe), and getting my winter warmers back out.
To get myself through this (like I needed an excuse), for the last 5 months of 2015 I have subscribed to the monthly beauty box – Birchbox. There are so many subscription boxes out there I find it quite hard to pick which one I think will benefit me most, but Birchbox seems to be a great all-rounder, with a variation of products and samples.
