Up For Review: BeGlow PURA Skinsense Sonic Cleansing Brush


Happy Sunday guys! I hope everyone has had an absolutely wonderful week, even those of you who are still in lockdown - stay strong because, trust me, your actions are saving thousands of lives. I, myself, have been out of lockdown since Monday and, I must admit, it does feel rather good to be able to leave the house without having to write an entire certificate of authorisation (I know, French regulations were TOUGH). In addition, it's also meant that I've been able to return to my University accommodation and have a somewhat emotional reunion with a few of the ride or die skincare bits I was forced to leave behind during my frantic, pre-quarantine packing spree. One of those products, as you may be able to tell, happens to be the PURA Skinsense Sonic Cleansing Brush from BeGlow.

SOLD OUT: Shane x Jeffree Conspiracy Collection Review


Hey, what's up you guys, YES! Didn't recognise that one? Sorry, let me rewind and try again. What's up everybody, welcome BACK to my blog! Hi, how are ya?

The Soft Drink Of The Summer: J2O Spritz


Happy Friday guys! We're over half way through another wonderful week on planet Earth and I hope that you guys are LOVING the weather and soaking up the sun just as much as I am (accompanied by a strong SPF, of course). 

Speaking of the weather, there's never been such an idyllic period for entertaining and feeding a large number of family and friends which is, undoubtedly, an absolute pleasure. Well, that's until that one embarrassing auntie shows up (come on, we've all got one) and, of course, the awful moment at which we figure out just how much drinks for 18 people is actually going to cost. 

Summer Shadows: The Magnifique Palette by Labelle Makeup


Happy Sunday guys - I hope you're having a wonderful week, especially given the fact that the weather is borderline FANTASTIC (don't you dare forget your SPF though). And, as you guys know, with a new season comes a new wave of makeup trends and colours to play with so, naturally, I've swapped out my spring palettes for this bad boy: the NEW Magnifique Palette by Labelle Makeup.

Up For Review: LQ Liquid Health Skin, Hair & Nails Supplements


Hey guys! Yep, that's right, I'm back at you guys with my regular content (HOORAY!) and, today, we're going to be discussing my latest beauty favourite which, surprisingly, isn't a makeup or skincare product as such. Ladies and gentleman, let me introduce you to the LQ Liquid Health Skin, Hair & Nails supplements.

Amelia Maysun: A Skincare Lover's Dream


Happy Monday my lovelies! Now, today's post is one that I've been genuinely dieing to give you for the last few days but, unfortunately, this week has been an unexpectedly difficult one; I give you my deepest apologies for the lateness. However, what I can tell you is that the products we're about to discuss are (spoiler alert!) definitely worth the wait.

5 Tips for Healthy & Glowing Skin



Happy skincare Wednesday (if that's even a thing... new series?) my lovelies! Now, quick disclaimer: I, Marina Rosie, do not have perfect skin. Being in my late teens, my skin still causes me problems from time to time, I experience breakouts, the texture changes, the spots leave dark marks; all manner of things go wrong with my skin and that's okay. But is it a HELL of a lot better than it was 2 years ago? Absolutely. And is it healthy, glowing and snatched? A billion percent YES. As a result, today, I thought it'd be rather useful if I shared 5 tips to help you get that gorgeous skin, as well as some of my favourite products that can help you along the way. So, without further ado, let's get straight into it!

Munch Happy with Ape Snacks


Hey guys! I hope you're all having an excellent week so far and, to be honest, I'm also hoping that none of you are hungry because, today, we're exploring some edible delights sent through by the lovely Ape Snacks who, of late, have been killing the game and producing healthy yet tasty snacks - I get the feeling they were practically made for me.

Up For Review: 6 Colors Matte Lip Gloss Set by Luckyfine


Now, for this post, let us talk lips, a topic that you guys all know I have a passion for, a passion that could be otherwise described as an 'obsession' or a 'hoarding problem' but we won't even go there. To cut a long story short, I'm always experimenting with new lip products (recreationally and as a part of my blogging life) from all price ranges and, today, I've decided to present to you the lip products I've been testing out of late: the "6 Colors Matte Lip Gloss Set" from the brand Luckyfine.

Recent Oral Care Favourites



Happy Tuesday everybody, I hope you're having a wonderful week so far! Now, as you guys know, I've never been secretive about the fact that I care a lot about oral health and, as a result, I do receive a fair few questions, especially via Instagram direct (heyyy!), regarding which products I go for on that front. However, as it does chop and change quite a bit, I thought it appropriate to provide you with a little bit of a guide containing my current favourite oral care products to keep that mouth feeling fresh and fantastic

New In From Caseapp + GIVEAWAY!



Hello my lovelies! It's so good to be writing another post for you on this fine Friday morning, especially as it does happen to be about one of my favourite brands to work with: Caseapp.

My 3 Valentine's Day Lipstick Picks - MAC, Sephora & Zoeva


Hey there my lovelies! Firstly, I'd just like to sincerely thank you for sticking around despite my rather lengthy leave of absence and tell you have grateful I am to have your support, especially when life isn't quite going my way. Maintaining this blog makes me incredibly happy so, although I knew stepping away for a while to figure things out within my personal life was what I needed, doing so was incredibly painful and, quite frankly, I can't bear to sit around any longer. And, in addition to that, what on earth are you guys going to do without this year's speedy Valentine's Day lipstick picks? Duty calls, duty calls...

I Tried Ivy Bears Hair Vitamins For A Month - Do They Work?!


Hey guys and welcome BACK to yet another blog post on another wonderful Wednesday - I hope the week, so far, hasn't been too intolerable for any of you! However, even if it has, I'd appreciate it if you sat back, relaxed and took your mind off of current affairs for a short few minutes and gave me your time instead (just know that it's always such a privilege for me to have you here) because, today, after rather a while, we're making a much needed (and also much requested) return to hair. 

HOT: Quartz Beauty's ENTIRE Boss Gloss Collection

Shine Bright Like A Diamond with Cookies Makeup


Hey there little stars! As you can see by the title (sorry Sia and Rihanna, I was out of ideas...), today we're going to be exploring some products that will indeed have you twinkling enough to be mistaken for escapees from the greater galaxy: the "Metals Matte" metallic lip glosses by Cookie's Makeup. 

HOT: Labelle Makeup's Colour Splurge Eyeshadow Palette


Hey guys, today I'm back, and fairly punctually, with a brand, spanking new review of a special something that popped into my post box not so long ago, accompanied by a variety of confectionary and sweet treats in keeping with the theme (which were promptly devoured by myself and my entourage within the hours that followed). And that theme is colour.

Sultry Summer Eyes with Exposed Cosmetics


Hey lovelies! I know, I keep apologising for the tardiness on each of my posts and it's got to stop - my posting schedule is a nightmare! However, I have now returned from my holiday abroad (which was wonderful by the way), which means I'm coming right back at you with some more of your favourite content, starting with a little goodie that slid through into my post box whilst I was away.

High-end Haul: theBalm Cosmetics



Hey there beauties! So, another week has passed (and passed very quickly might I add) which means another beauty segment here on Marina Writes Life and, trust me, today's post is one I've been meaning to publish for a while now but, hey ho, finally the time has come!

A REAL At-Home Spa Experience with Bel Mondo Beauty + GIVEAWAY!


Firstly, I'd just like to say WOW - it's been way too long for my liking, as exam period this year really has had my undivided attention. However after obtaining some pretty ace results and having a little time off for myself in order to catch my breath again after such a consistently busy revision schedule, I'm back and better than ever baby, with a brand new review of some gifted products and, better yet, ANOTHER GIVEAWAY! So, without further ado, let's get into thing - I've honestly been raring to tell you all about Bel Mondo Beauty, the creators of my new favourite sheet masks.
