Hollypop Has A New Home!

Hollypop Has A New Home!

Hey there guys, this might come as something as a surprise, but my blog has moved to a new location. I made a somewhat impulse decision to buy my own domain and host my blog on my own website so I can create a ‘fresh’ start.

If you still want to keep up with my blog content, I very strongly encourage you to subscribe to my new website: http://www.hollypopnation.com

It should be a straight-forward…

February Empties 2016

So for once I actually used up a fair number of products within the same month. I normally take months and months to finish a single product, but this time it looks like I have a small collection to write an empties post for. I will emphasise the fact that it is a small number of products, but here is a little round-up of my views on them.

Super Facialist Salicylic Acid Anti Blemish Pore…

February Goal Roundup/March Goals:

February Goal Roundup/March Goals:

Back at the start of February I set out to re-establish my skincare routine since it was really struggling with dryness after returning home from my trip to Canada. The blog posts I wrote about my trip you can find on my sidebar in it’s own little section, if you’d like to check them out.

As far as re-establishing a routine, I’ve managed to get my morning routine back in-check, with my skin…

February Favourites

I haven’t written a favourites post before, since honestly, I’m terrible at keeping track of what I use, but I have been making an effort since I have an insanely large collection for someone who doesn’t wear a whole lot of makeup. Starting this kind of monthly series is also going to be great to encourage me to take risks when I do wear makeup, and to really appreciate what I buy. For my first…

Review: Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash

Review: Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash

I want to start off by apologising that this post is being published a day later than I had planned: the reason for this being I switched routers yesterday and with it going live it meant my internet connection was extremely patchy, and crashing every few minutes. This meant that to my frustration, I couldn’t load WordPress or most other websites, so I had to put things on hold while it settled…

Review: Barry M Brow Pen

Review: Barry M Brow Pen

For a really long time, I’m thinking it must be months by now, this little product has been sat in a little basket in my bedroom waiting to be reviewed. This is the Barry M Brow Pen, which is in the shade Dark Brown. As far as I know of, and I did a little looking on the Superdrug website, this is the only shade they have for this product. I bought this a very long time ago, back when I was…

Canada and America Haul:

Canada and America Haul:

While I was away visiting my lovely other *cough better cough* half, I took the opportunity to go skincare and makeup hunting, since there are brands available on the other side of the Atlantic, that just aren’t available in stores in the UK. This ranges from Western brands to Korean ones, and I’m going to section this up as neatly as I can. If you’re interested in seeing the skincare I used…

My Canada Skincare Kit

My Canada Skincare Kit

Before I forget to write this, I haven’t kept it a secret that I recently got home from a trip to Canada – Ontario, more specifically, to visit my boyfriend and help him migrate to the UK. So like any overseas trip, I needed to prepare my skincare routine for travelling and for the weather I was going to be adjusting to while I was there.

To give a rough idea of the difference in the weather…

My Canada Trip - Part 5

My Canada Trip – Part 5

To round this series of posts off, here is my final post. I said I was going to have this post up by last Tuesday, but one… I was disorganised, and also I was going to ask a friend about using some photos from the trip but since it would mean checking with all my friends for their consent, I have since decided I’ll keep those photos private so I don’t upset anyone.

So for the final weekend on…

My Trip to Canada - Part 4

My Trip to Canada – Part 4

The following day, my boyfriend and I took a trip to an all-you-can-eat sushi place. The restaurant had a lively and warm atmosphere, and the food was interesting to try, since it was my first time eating sushi that wasn’t bought from the supermarket. The restaurant was called August 8 and was a tiny little place in Hamilton. The basic concept of the restaurant is that you can order as many…

January Skincare Goal Roundup/February Goals:

Roundup:

So January has felt like it’s flown by… With the new year and my trip to Canada (with my partner moving to the UK) the entire month has felt like it just rushed past me and was gone before I knew it. So, all the rush has meant I haven’t had a calm start to establish new routines and such, so this has really affected my skincare routine and the condition of my skin.

To start off the year,…

My Trip to Canada - Part 3

My Trip to Canada – Part 3

So the following day, my partner indulged the blogger in me, and drove the two of us to Korea-town in Toronto where we spent the afternoon hunting down some of the Korean cosmetic brands that I had heard were around from my research online. Honestly, the hunt didn’t end up especially fruitful, but I did find some Tony Moly products in the local Korean supermarket/grocery store, and while we…

My Trip to Canada - Part 2

My Trip to Canada – Part 2

So after a night’s rest we spent the first day relaxing at home, since I spent approximately 22 hours travelling… I can’t begin to explain how exhausting that was! So after a nice morning and afternoon chilling out, my partner and I decided to share our time together by live streaming where some of our friends joined us as we played a fun game called Crypt of the Necrodancer. It was my first time…

My Trip to Canada - Part 1

My Trip to Canada – Part 1

As I posted just over a week ago, I was taking a week-long break to take a trip out to Canada to spend some time with my other half. I flew back home yesterday, and although I’m still recovering, I want to share my experience with you guys, since it was a wonderful vacation. I plan on splitting those over a few blog posts, with separate posts for my activities, my travel necessities, and my…

Taking a short break...

Taking a short break…

As you read this post, I will have already travelled to the airport, and depending on when you read this, I will either be waiting for my plane or already in the air. Why am I letting you guys know this? Well, I’m flying to Canada (Tortonto, Ontario to be exact) to spend a week with my significant other, as well as a drive down to the States to hang out with some friends. But the reason I’m…

Review: Dermactin-TS Collagen Gel Under Eye Patches

Review: Dermactin-TS Collagen Gel Under Eye Patches

   So I’ve been meaning to review these for months… These are gel under eye patches which work in a similar way to sheet masks do for the entire face, and something I find to be a really lovely pampering treat. These kinds of masks aren’t typically found in high street stores in the UK, so when I came across these in TK Maxx by chance, I had to grab these since it otherwise meant ordering Korean…

Review: Melvita Cleansing Facial Scrub

Review: Melvita Cleansing Facial Scrub

    To kick off 2016, I’m going to review a scrub I started used towards the end of 2015, by the brand Melvita. I found this in my local TK Maxx, and as I’ve said before, I can’t help myself when I find skincare in there that looks like it’ll be great, and even better when it’s not too expensive. I picked this little guy up for £3.00, which I’m very happy about. I use facial scrubs between 2-3…
