Welcome to Beauty Mecca

Hello and welcome to my vaguely sacrilegious blog.

As part of my new year's resolution to stop buying an unnecessary number of beauty products that can't possibly deliver what they promise, I decided to share my (vast and expensive) experience with anyone who happened upon it. Hopefully we can all share some great products we know and love, discover some new finds and avoid the sneaky disaster products.

Just to introduce myself, I'm a 20-something Londoner, wishing she was in New York (a Sephora on every corner!) who is wasting a large percentage of her salary every month in the search for the perfect foundation, the perfect mascara and how to create smokey eyes without looking like I've been punched - is that too much to ask?

I'll be trawling the high street, internet and (gulp) QVC to find you the best buys out there, so whether you're a beauty virgin looking to dip your toe in with a tinted moisturiser or a make up maven with experience to share, this is the blog for you.

Hope you enjoy!
