Happy Tuesday, y’all! We are back today with another bite size reviews. And I have five products that I’m super excited to talk about. So, let’s dive on in! MECCA MAX OFF DUTY BB CREAM – $22.00When I did my Mecca Max One Brand Recommendations, I did have a few of you ask what happened…
Emmie Reviews – Essence Lash Princess Waterproof Mascara
So, fun fact, I’ve actually reviewed more mascaras from Essence Cosmetics than I have any other brand (yes, more than even Maybelline!). However, my strike rate with Essence mascara’s is pretty abysmal. I’ve liked one or two of them over the years, but the rest have ranked anywhere from mid to straight up bad. And…
Shop My Stash: Part 13 – October/November Edit
Happy Tuesday, everyone! And welcome to my final new Shop My Stash for 2024. I have a plan already for my stash come December and I’ll explain that then. But for now, I have a pretty bumper stash for this month’s edit. It might be the biggest one I’ve ever done. So, grab a snack…
Emmie’s Empties – September 2024
Happy Friday, y’all! We are back today with my September Empties. And I have to say, this is definitely one of my smaller empties posts for the year. But I have a good balance of skincare, haircare, bodycare, and makeup. And I’m excited to talk about each and every one of them! SKIN CONTROL PORE…
Emmie Reviews – Huda Beauty Easy Foundation
2024 has seen some pretty high profile and viral foundation launches. But few have been as talked about as the Huda Beauty Easy Blur Foundation. When this launched at the start of September, the opinion online was split right down the middle. With some saying that it was their new holy grail. And others saying…
One Brand Recommendations – Mecca Max Part 2
Those who have been following along with my Shop My Stash series will know that for the last two months, I’ve had an almost all one brand stash this time around. That brand being Mecca Max. Why Mecca Max? Well, in the over three years since I did my initial One Brand Recommendations on them,…
Save, Spend, Splurge, Skip – Mascara
I’ve been running Emmie’s Beauty Life for six years now. And in that time, I have reviewed 77 mascaras from dozens of brands. It’s a search I’ll never tire of and I’ve since been given the nickname ‘The Mascara Queen’ over on Instagram. As a result, one of the most popular requests that I get…
Emmie Reviews – Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara
As much as I love talking about and reviewing drugstore mascaras, sometimes I do get sucked into the allure and enchantment that is high end/luxury mascara. And it pains me to admit that some of my all time favourites are high end. Besides, someone has to be silly enough to spend that much money to…
My Current Morning Routine – September 2024
We are well and truly into the swing of September. Which means it’s time for my biannual morning skincare update post! And its a pretty good time for me to do this. As many of the products in my current skincare lineup are newbies that I have been using for a while now. So, I…
Emmie Reviews – Mecca Max Off Duty Serum Skin Tint
Skin tints, we know them, we wear them, we love them. But speaking for myself, a lot of my favourite skin tints tend to lean on the pricey side. And up to this point, none of the drugstore options have done much for me. So, I was delighted to see Mecca Max add one to…
