Beautifinous.

Hey guys! So, it's been a while, right? Well, I am here today and I have some news for you all.

No, I have no forgotten about the blog and neither is the blog coming to an end. I have had some family related things that I have needed to dedicate my time to, but during the time that I have been away I feel like I have evolved as a person in many ways. I have taken up some new hobbies and found new interests, and these involve things that I feel have made me a happier person overall. Because of this, I wanted to bring some of this to the blog alongside what I already write about.

I have therefore decided to open up my blog to become a beauty and wellness blog. I feel that this is a natural extension to the messages that I have already had to bring to the blog as I have always wanted to help others to feel happier and more confident about themselves and I feel that by opening up the blog to including wellness allows me to dive deeper into this aspect and hopefully to bring some additional joy to the world in some form.

Wellness posts will also allow me to partake in more collaborative projects, so if this is something that takes your fancy and you have some ideas about spreading some positivity then do feel free to shoot me an email!

I hope to have a nice balance between beauty related posts and wellness posts, but whilst I settle in to the new topics I may release a few more wellness related posts (author's excitement and all that!).

I really hope that you continue to enjoy the content that I bring to the blog and I thank you all for your patience and love.

Keep on being amazing!

Hey guys! I want to start off by giving you all a massive apology for being so quiet recently both on the blog and social media. I promise that I’ve not disappeared, but I’ve had to prioritise some family stuff. It’s nothing bad so absolutely no need to worry, but it has been very time consuming.

I just wanted to let you know that the blog is still alive and I have posts that are currently being worked on. One shall be online later this week. In addition, I wanted to update you all on a collaborative post I took part in with Bondi Sands recently titled Bondi Sands’ Best Beauty Tips for 2019. I’d really love it if you could check it out and see not only my best tip but some fab tips from others also!

I’m hoping on having the weekly posts back on track within the next month-2 months, but aiming more to the month timescale. Until then I shall be getting content onto the blog as and when I can.

Thanks so much for your support and patience!

Hi all!

I tried to put off having to go down this route, but I'm going to be taking a couple of weeks away from posting on the blog.

I've had a very, very busy time recently, but the fact that I've barely had a moment has caused problems with my migraines again. Therefore, I have decided that a couple of weeks off to simply recharge and catch myself back up would be more beneficial for the blog.

My next post is already underway, and I will be taking time to write when I can over the next couple of weeks, and hopefully this will mean that when I'm back that I can keep my posts up to the usual standard of quality that they are normally. I'd rather not let a migraine cause a lower quality post when taking a breather can do the world of good.

I promise that I haven't gone anywhere and I'll be back with an array of posts, especially coming up to Christmas!

Meanwhile, I hope that you all have an amazing couple of weeks before I post again, and I will be Tweeting when I can too, so you can keep up with me there!

Love you all and thanks to everyone for your support of the blog!

Hi everyone!

Today is just a quick update post as to what will be happening with the blog over the next few weeks.

Recently it has been a little harder to schedule posts in as often as I would like to due to a varying array of factors. There have been some health issues within the family as of late which I need to prioritise and be around for.

The good news though is that these life situations are temporary, so any changes that need to be made will also be temporary. I have decided therefore that for a few weeks there will only be one post a week until time becomes freed up. I'll make sure to keep everybody updated via Twitter when I'll be beginning my regular two posts a week again, so make sure that you're following me to find out!

This isn't forever and I am not disappearing. I love posting for all of you, and even though I can't post as much as I want to right now, don't forget that appreciate every read from all of your beautiful faces.

Thanks for making Beautifinous what is today.

Hi guys!

Today's post is just a quick one to inform everybody that there won't be any posts for a couple of weeks here on the blog as I am taking some much needed time off. :)

I won't be gone forever and I will still be posting on Twitter where I will keep everybody updated as to when a new post will go live.

Stay amazing everybody and keep your eyes peeled for a new post in a couple of weeks!

Hey everyone! Today I have a slightly different post for you all. The lovely folks over at Rebates Zone have included me on their list of the Top 50 Mommy Bloggers!

Today I have posted the list as a thank you and as a shout out to all of the other bloggers who are featured on it. Keep up the great work ladies!

You can check it out below.

Thanks again, guys!

I recently held a giveaway to win a Beauty Bundle worth over £70, and today I can announce that the winner is...


Congratulations for winning the giveaway!

I have sent over an E-Mail so make sure that you reply as soon as possible.

If you'd like to check out Sophie's brilliant prize, you can check out the original post for the Beauty Bundle Giveaway.

If you didn't win this time, make sure that you check back for future giveaways.

Also, as this post was a quick one today, I will be posting an extra post this week. Keep your eyes peeled for that coming tomorrow.

Congratulations again, Sophie!

Hurrah! It's spring, and the weather has been warming up (well kind of, as I write this it's miserable outside) and the flowers are growing and stuff, so what better excuse than this to finally host my first GIVEAWAY!

Yep, that's right! It's been a while in the planning stages, but it's now all here and ready for one lucky winner to snap up. It includes a combo of makeup goodies and skincare items as well as the odd hair bits. In addition to the 6 full-size items up for grabs, there is also a whole bunch of mini sized products, 6 perfume samples and a range of sachet samples for you to try. If that wasn't enough, I decided to add an extra little twist (inspired by my Aveda Invati Hair Experience box) by adding some yummy scrummy tea bags for you to brew up and sip on as you try out your new beauty goodies. Oh my!

So by now I'm sure that you all just want to know what actually makes up the prize. It includes a number of items that I have both reviewed on the blog and a couple that I haven't. For those that I have reviewed I've provided links for you to check them out on the list below.

Hey guys!

Today's post is just a notifier to let you all know that I now won't be posting until after Christmas. I'll be back before the new year though with my Top Beauty Products of 2015 post, so keep your eyes peeled for that one!

For now though, I hope that you all have an incredible Christmas and thank you all once again for your continued support. It really means a lot to me to have such an amazing collection of readers from all over the world, and I look forward to bringing you more exciting posts after the holidays.

Make sure that you all have an amazing time over the festive period, and I will be back soon.

Much love,
Zoe. @Beautifinous

Hello everybody!

Today I have some really exciting news to finally share with you all - we're moving house!

As you can imagine, moving house can be an incredibly busy time. It also comes with a whole range of issues regarding getting everything sorted and back into place. It's because of this that I wanted to inform you all that I will be taking a break from the blog for anywhere between 2-4 weeks.

Another issue that I will be having is that of tomorrow I will temporarily have no Internet connection. Therefore, Tweets from my Twitter account will also slow down for a short while.

I wanted to make sure that you were all aware of the situation so that nobody thinks that I have vanished from the blogging world - I can assure you that I haven't!

I'll be back soon, and until then, I hope that you all stay well!

As we’re getting ready to say goodbye to 2014, I thought that I would take a look back at some of my favourite beauty finds from throughout the year.

Whilst not every product is a 2014 release, they are all products that I have personally tried out for the first time this year. You may have seen a bit about each product on the blog already if you are a regular reader and you may have tried some of them yourself. If you haven’t tried them out though then this list can also be seen as my top recommendations from this year.

I must say though, this list has been pretty difficult to compile. There have been so many great products that I have come by this year that trying to narrow it down to a select few was one heck of a challenge! Some products only narrowly missed being included, but I have given some of them an honourable mention at the end of the post.

Speaking of the end of the post, I have also saved the best product until last. The end of the post details my top overall product from 2014, so make sure you get down to the end to see what is my most highly recommended product! 

As well as including primarily adult-beauty products, I have also included my top baby toiletry product of the year for other parents out there.

Feel free to leave a comment at the end of the post discussing your top products, too! 

So here we have it: The Beautifinous Top Beauty Products of 2014.

Hello everyone!

This post is just a quick one to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year!

I hope that you all have a brilliant time over the festive period and that you enjoy every extra moment with your loved ones.

I also want to take this chance to say thank you to everybody who has ever read a post (or all of them!) for making my first year blogging an enjoyable and successful one. Without you all there wouldn't be Beautifinous, so thank you so much.

I'm posting this two days early as usual posts will now temporarily be on hold until after Christmas when I have a couple to post before the new year.

Have a good one!

Hello everybody!

This post is going to be a different sort of post to what I usually upload onto my blog, but I feel that I owe my loyal readers an explanation.

You may have noticed recently that I have been posting far less frequently than normal. I just wanted to make you all aware that this is not because I am either losing interest in blogging or becoming a bit of a slacker! Myself and my partner have recently found out that we are expecting baby number 2!

As I am sure you are all aware, one of the symptoms of pregnancy is that fantastic thing that they call "morning sickness." However, this term is actually misleading as sickness can hit you at any time throughout the day. Sometimes this sickness can become so violent and restrictive that you can find yourself struggling severely with your day to day activities.
