Small-Scale Beauty

I think it's safe to say that no one likes going into Mecca/Sephora/whatever-cosmetic-store-you-go-to and buying a product - and it's terrible. I also think it's safe to say that everyone likes getting free stuff. Combine the two and there you go, free beauty samples were born. I love free samples/minis, especially as someone who is allergic to a tonne of ingredients in skincare. They're actually not too hard to come by, so if you're wanting to find out how to get ahold of them I can help out.

Heya, It's been a long, long while. My last post was on the 10th of March. The 10th of March, what have I been up to in all that time? Well, I've been adjusting to the life of a uni student, been working a lot and catching up with friends. I've learnt more economic theories than I thought my brain could handle, and I've been filling up notebook after notebook with creative writing/poetry ideas. With all that going down, I sort of got swept away from Heya Emily for a bit.
