Today I had every intention of heading to my meeting in London and then heading home to work from the comfort of my sofa. All this changed however when I received a text telling me my Selfridges Lucky Bag had been delivered to the office. It would be sacrilege to leave my lucky bag waiting in … Continue reading

GOSH Galaxy Holographic Nail Polish Swatches
When I spotted GOSH Galaxy nail polish on the shiny new display stand in Superdrug I just knew it had to be mine. Partly because I was worried that it would be sold out if I thought on it, but mainly because I have nothing like it in my collection. Isn’t it purdy? From … Continue reading
Origins Haul – Brightening Musts, Super Spot Remover and Make a Difference Samples
After many weeks, several emails, numerous calls and a ranty blog post my Origins order finally arrived! I picked up the fab Brightening Musts set which includes a full size VitaZing moisturiser, 5ml GinZing eye cream and 30ml Modern Friction dermabrasion polish all for just £26 which is less than the price of VitaZing on … Continue reading
The Selfridges Lucky Bag has arrived!
Well ladies, the wait is finally over. After weeks of excitement and anticipation the Selfridges Lucky Bag is now available to buy. But be quick, with only 1,000 bags available they look set to sell out fast! Selfridges explain that each bag includes a minimum of five beauty must-haves, while a very lucky few contain … Continue reading
Review – New York Color (NYC) in a New York Minute Nail Polish in Park Ave
One of my favourite things about Autumn is that I get to wear my favourite wintery tones, you know the ones, those rich, plummy tones that can’t help but make you feel all warm and toasty inside. No? Just me then! I showed you six of my favourite Autumnal nail polishes last week, but now … Continue reading
MUA Haul #2 – Eye Primer, Trio Eyeshadow and Blushers in Shades 3 and 5
Whenever I hear of a 3 for 2 offer on make-up at Superdrug my purse begins to quiver in fear. Thankfully, this little splurge was from the purse-friendly MUA range. I was really impressed with their powder blusher in Shade 6, so I went back to grab Shade 3 and Shade 5. As mentioned in … Continue reading
Review – Nivea Express Hydration Primer
I like to think I’m fairly immune to advertising, but when the advert for Nivea Express Hydration Primer appeared on my TV I just knew I had to have it. And when I then discovered it was just £3.99 (RRP. £4.99) in Superdrug, I just knew it was meant to be! But was it worth … Continue reading
Weekend Whinge: Origins and Yodel UK
Having toyed with the idea of buying Origins‘ VitaZing for months, I jumped at the chance to purchase it as part of the Brightening Musts set which includes not only the full size VitaZing but also a 30ml Modern Friction (my favourite Origins product!) and 5ml GinZing for £1 less than the price of VitaZing on it’s own. … Continue reading
MUA haul – Pro-Brow Kit and Blush in Shade 6
There’s nothing better than a make-up haul, except perhaps when said make-up haul comes to the grand total of £4.00. Which is just the kind of haul I had when I popped into our new look Superdrug last week. As someone with almost non-existent eyebrows, the pro-brow eyebrow kit was a must have, especially when … Continue reading

Fear not if you didn’t manage to grab Gosh’s Holographic Hero Nail polish before it sold out, Boots has come to the rescue with their Holo Silver nail polish from 17. Not only is this polish identical to Holographic Hero, it’s also less than half the price at just £3.99. Just check this baby out… … Continue reading
6 of the Best Autumn Nail Polishes
It’s hard to believe just a few weeks ago I was pottering around in a t-shirt and shades, now Summer seems just a distant memory and with the clocks going back tonight it’s safe to say Autumn is definitely here. It’s not all bad though, as with Autumn comes log fires, cosy jumpers, comfort food … Continue reading
TRESemme Split Remedy Collection Review
Once in a while an obsession completely sneaks up on me. It started with the TRESemme Split Remedy sealing serum and then before I knew it I had the entire range! Admittedly not all of the above are in regular rotation and there are some products I probably wouldn’t repurchase, but on the whole it’s … Continue reading
NOTD: Boom Nails Aztec Accent Nail
A few weeks ago I met the lovely Emma of Boom Nails in the Virgin Media Louder Lounge at V Festival and was lucky enough to nab an appointment. As they were uber busy they were only offering accent nails so I opted for this awesome looking aztec design that went with my Missguided Aztec Denim … Continue reading
L’oreal Revitalift Repair 10 BB Cream Review and Estee Lauder Doublewear Comparison
I’m always on the hunt for the HG BB cream but have struggled to find one that matches my uber pale skin. So far the closest match for me has been the Dr Jart+ Water Fuse BB but it still doesn’t tick all my boxes, so I was excited when a sample pack of L’oreal’s Revitalift … Continue reading
Collection (2000) Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Eyeliner Review
I have recently been having quite the love affair with Collection (formerly Collection 2000) cosmetics. Somewhere between the glittery eyeliners and the Lasting Perfection concealer (which most definitely rivals my beloved Estee Lauder doublewear) I fell irrevocably in love with this bargain brand. That said it was pure chance that led me to stumble across Collection’s … Continue reading
Aveda Damage Remedy Hair Care Sample
I’m a complete hairdresser-phobe and as such am always looking for ways to improve the condition of my hair without taking the dreaded cut, so when I heard that Aveda were giving away Damage Remedy sample kits I jumped at the chance to get one. The kit comes in a handy travel sized boxed and contains … Continue reading
Mac Cosmetics Skincare Haul – Cleanse Off Oil & Fix+
Whilst I’ve always been a massive fan of Mac Cosmetics and their never-ending array of limited edition collections, up until now I haven’t really ventured into their skincare range. Sure there was the briefest of moments with an SPF 50 cream (don’t ask me which) bought for a first holiday with an ex which combined with the Turkish … Continue reading
Weekend Wants
Give a little thought for me as you read this as I’ll be helping my dear mummy at the local village fete where I’ll no doubt be inappropriately dressed for whatever weather is thrown at us! H&M Black Sandals | Canon EOS 550D DSLR | Miss Selfridge Green Maxi Dress | KMS FreeShape Blow Dry … Continue reading
Primark Neon Nail Varnish Collection – Review
Last weekend I made the exciting discovery that my JC Litas had finally arrived from the US (I’ll be doing a review of them and the company I used soon), unfortunately they were a 35 minute drive away and I was without a car. To make matters worse the depot was closing in an hour … Continue reading
