My Holly Grail

Goodies from America

When my mum told me her friend was taking a trip to the U.S i immediately got on the Sephora website and started making lists of what i wanted!
I obviously had to narrow it down.... Alot. So i picked out a few things that I've been wanting to try for a while and the things we cant get over here so easily.
The first was the Makeup Forever HD foundation which i already owned and love but got in a slightly darker shade. Next, the Hourglass ambient lighting powder palette, I've never tried these before and couldn't decide on which shade to get so i splurged on the palette instead. I also got one of the Buxom full on lip creams and lastly the Elizabeth and James Nirvana White perfume.
It's always exciting when you see that black white bag filled with treats, I wish we had a Sephora here that carried all the brands they have in the U.S
I'll be doing full reviews on each of these products soon.

Thanks for reading

I have been meaning to set up a blog now for some time now so here it is, My Holly Grail.

I am a twenty-something Hair Stylist living in the North with a passion for Make-Up and all things Beauty. My passion started when I was 'very' young (see pic...) and since then I have been on a quest to become 'Flawless'.

When I got diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2011, I had to take a lot of time off work which consequently gave me a lot of spare time to discover and develop my skills and actually became pretty good at 'doing' Make Up. When my Make Up bag turned into two, which then turned into three, which then turned into a desk (see pic), I decided (with persistence from my friends and family) to set up a blog to help people develop their knowledge and help them discover new and Holy Grail products that's needed in any Make-Up bag. My own collection ranges from Mac (obviously) to Illamasqua, Larura Mercier to Make Up Forever and LOTS more.

It all started with PixiWoo as I'm sure it did with most others. My current favorite bloggers/vloggers are Jaclyn Hill, Desi Perkins and Vivianna, all of whom can be found in the links below. I hope you enjoy my blog, I will try and keep it simple and to the point. I will review each of my favorite products that I already own and whatever else I choose to buy and review to show you.

Thanks for looking,

Holly x
