Welcome to Barrel and Bean, a new
generation of beauty blog aimed at telling the truth. Firstly let us admit, we
are avid beauty blog fans who will believe anything to get ‘that glow’, ‘that
body’ and that ‘wholesome, instagram filtered lifestyle’. Secondly let us admit
we have not yet reached any of these goals.
We have every respect for those vloggers
and bloggers who spend their life and earnings buying and reviewing all things
beauty. However we simply do not have the money, the time or the muji shelves
to accommodate this. Instead, we periodically go on a wild rampage to splurge
on unnecessary items that promise us the world.
Our aim is to report on such rampages as to
what really works, what doesn’t and why we are more than miffed that we don’t
look like something out of Made in Chelsea…more like the cast of Gogglebox. To put
it simply, we are normal. We are a pair of very different gals. One oily as a mackerel, one dry as a bone. One tall, one short. One in an office (boring), one drifting through life (dossing).
Stand by for too many cleansing balms, clothes,
useless scatter cushions and half arsed fitness. If your lucky we may even test
some ‘healthy recipes’.
...Happy reading
