Duped – Nars Orgasm vs. Sleek Rose Gold Blush
Rummaging through my stash at the weekend it struck me how similar Nars Orgasm is to Sleek Rose Gold, in fact the only real difference I can find between the two is the price. Packaging wise they both come in matte black packaging with an internal mirror although the Nars packaging feels a lot more … Continue reading
Swatched – Rimmel Apocalips in Luna, Celestial & Big Bang

Swatched – MUA Pro-Base Conceal & Brighten Kit in Porcelain
You can probably tell by now that I’m super rubbish when it comes to not spending money. I had every intention of popping into Superdrug purely to pick up some much needed Lemsip during the week.

Swatched – MUA Lipstick Collection
It’s no secret that I’m a HUGE fan of MUA. Every product they make seems to be such high quality and still they manage to keep their prices purse-friendly.

Sleek Blush by 3 Lace Palette Review
When I first spotted the new Blush by 3 range from Sleek I just knew I had to have a few of the palettes. So fittingly, here is the first of 3 reviews. Out of the 3 blush palettes I purchased Lace was the one I wanted the most. Bright and summery, it looked ideal for summer days … Continue reading
From the Kitchen – Foodie Finds…
I’m trying to eat healthily at the moment, which obviously means I’ve suddenly become obssessed with food. I’ve added six new books to my already bulging recipe book collection and seem to be constantly looking for new delights to whip up for family and friends.
