Guess what?! I’m not dead. I have missed you all so much. I have kept up with you all via your blogs (I may not have commented, but I have “liked” and read your posts). I am sorry that I have kept you in the dark, you don’t deserve that. A quick Continue reading
I’ve had my fair share of boyfriends, so I’ve naturally had some (*cough* many more than I would like *cough) breakups. Some have been amicable, others have been a bloodbath … 😦
“She’s my sister. Break her heart, I’ll break your face. ASSHOLE.”
What’s not to love about being a big sister?!
Hello everyone! My name is Bea and welcome back to the blog. Well … here we are – it’s the second-last day of November – WOOHOO!
Hello everyone!
My name is Bea and welcome back to the blog.
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! My inaugural No Buy Challenge has come to an end.
Hello! My name is Bea Cassidy and welcome back to the blog. I am really sorry for the update post that I published yesterday – I get the feeling that it wasn’t received particularly warmly. I’d love it if you would read on, where I talk about things more gently, more humbly and more pleasantly.
Hello! This week, I’ve battled Blogger’s Block. I drafted some posts, but didn’t see them through. On Thursday, I was going to upload some Getting Ready Hacks
Hello everyone!
My name is Bea and welcome back to the blog.
Wow – I have now not purchased or acquired makeup for 3 MONTHS and there is just 10 DAYS TO GO in my No Buy. WHAT?! Needless to say, this 100 Day No Buy has been an incredible thing for me, but more on that in LESS THAN 2 WEEKS, on Thursday 19th November.
1. How do you feel when you go to put on makeup?
I have felt the need to wear the amount of makeup that is practical for the daily activities. Very little for school and more for performance gigs or going out.
2. How many empties have you accumulated over the last 2 weeks? (skincare, fragrance and makeup)
I have gathered up four empties.
One scrub: the Formula 10.0.6 Three Times Sublime 3-in-1 Blackhead Wash + Scrub + Mask 100mL
Two moisturisers: Sukin Sensitive Facial Moisturiser 125mL and the Nivea Creme (when I ran out of my Sukin, I thought I’d use up what other moisturisers I had, before Mum purchased me a new Sukin Moisturiser. I know that Nivea isn’t cruelty-free, but I thought, ‘Waste not, want not.’)
A deodorant: Rexona Clinical Protection Gentle Dry 45mL (I know that this also is not cruelty-free, but it is the only deodorant that I have tried that has actually worked. I am on the hunt for a cruelty-free or vegan deodorant that is as effective as the Rexona one). If you know of any great animal-friendly deodorants, let me know in the comments!
3. Which products do you expect to finish by the end of No Buy?
Peach Lily is truly failing me right now; it’s becoming increasingly difficult to apply (as there’s so little product left), but I used it on Thursday as a cream blush / cheek tint and it was absolutely stunning.
4. List your fortnightly faves.
5. What are the positives and negatives of your No Buy thus far?
Positives: I am LOVING my capsule makeup collection and have saved God-knows-how-much money that I would have undoubtedly spent on makeup, if not for my No Buy.
Negatives: I don’t have any. I’ve learned that I can still get a similar effect from swatching or watching hauls or tutorials on YouTube, without having to splash out on products.
6. Did you trash / pass on anything over these last 2 weeks?
No.
I have added a seventh question to my No Buy Updates because I am a stickybeak and love to know what products people are interested in purchasing.
7. What’s on your wish list?

Hello everyone!
I am Bea and welcome back to the blog.
Today’s post is the first in a new segment entitled ‘In Response’, where I give my opinion on someone or something. I might have a rant or fully sympathise with who or what I’m writing about. Today, it’s the latter option.
Hello everyone!
My name is Bea and welcome back to the blog.
Today I am going to be telling YOU what I loved in the middle of Spring (in the Southern Hemisphere – you Northern peeps don’t worry that I’ve lost my marbles!).
