In Love With Fashion Sale Picks I gave up on BeautySets for a while as I just found the whole process a bit clunky, but when I discovered you could now create fashion sets I thought the latest ILWF blogger challenge was the ideal time to give it another try. The best improvement to BeautySets … Continue reading

Review – Superdrug Naturally Radiant Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser
Given I’m not a fan of the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser this is reportedly a dupe of I must admit I had pretty low expectations for Superdrug’s Naturally Radiant Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser (boy that’s a name and a half!). That said when I spotted it on offer for less than … Continue reading
Review – L’Oreal EverRiche Perfect Elixir Masque Spray
Whilst I’m a complete scaredy cat when it comes to going to the hairdressers (honestly I thought it’s only men that have an issue with how long an inch is!) I am a huge fan of those little L’Oreal power shot treatments that you get in salons, so when I heard of L’Oreal EverRiche Perfect … Continue reading
UPDATED: Bank Holiday Beauty Blog Sale
*UPDATED* as of 31/10/13 Being the cool kid I am I’ve spent the first half of the bank holiday weekend getting our house neat and tidy. I’ve even finally tackled the mess that was my make up stash which is great news for me as I can now find everything easily and even greater news … Continue reading
MoneySupermarket #PassionForFashion2 Competition Entry
I recently received an email from the team at Best British Bloggers telling me that MoneySupermarket were running a competition to win £1000 to put towards your Spring/Summer wardrobe. All you had to do was create three separate looks inspired by this year’s styles and trends and each look could cost no more than £200. … Continue reading
Swatched – Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in Lychee and Greenberry
I’m usually not a huge fan of Barry M nail polish but as soon as I spotted these beauties I was converted. I mean just look at those colours, they just scream springtime! Lychee is a beautifully milky cream with a hint of taupe. I think this colour would be universally flattering no matter the … Continue reading
My Honeymoon Beachwear Picks
Our wedding is fast approaching which can only mean one thing….we’ll be jetting off on Honeymoon soon. I can hardly contain my excitement and am certain I will be bouncing off the walls by the time August comes around, particularly since reading Tara’s fantastic guest post on her stay at The BodyHoliday. Being the overly … Continue reading
PR 101: MUA and How Not To Use Social Media
It’s no secret that I am was a huge fan of MUA and their great quality products and cheap and cheerful prices but recently it’s begun looking like their products come with a much bigger cost. I kept relatively quiet during their 50% off sale despite being one of the many, many customers who had payment … Continue reading
My Haircare Amnesty – My Shampoo & Conditioner Spending Ban
It wasn’t until I started having a bit of a clearout at the weekend that I realised just how many half used bottles of shampoo and conditioner I have. So I’ve put myself on a bit of spending ban when it comes to haircare. I mean just how many shampoos does one girl need? The … Continue reading
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
What to spend your Boots No7 Vouchers on
To be honest I’d totally forgotten I even had these bad boys until I spotted them this morning whilst tidying the kitchen. In fact if I’m totally honest they nearly ended up in the bin until I realised they’re actually valid until tomorrow. If you shop at Boots I’m almost certain you have some of … Continue reading
Swatched – Rimmel Apocalips in Luna, Celestial & Big Bang
Yesterday the much hyped Apocalips lip lacquer from Rimmel finally hit the shops. I’d intended to hold off on buying them until Friday when I get paid, but when I spotted Boots were running a 3 for 2 offer on them I thought it’d be rude not to buy a couple of them on the … Continue reading
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. Instead I left with a few new goodies from MUA and a couple of my favourite Simple cleanser which happened … Continue reading
Swatched – Louise Gray for Topshop Up in the Air Blush Duo & Eye Cream Duo in Wave Machine
So I may have had a sneaky second haul in Topshop. This time I picked up the Up in the Air blush duo and the eye cream duo in Wave Machine, both from the Louise Gray for Topshop collection. Up until now I haven’t been that interested in any of the make-up offerings from Topshop, but … Continue reading
SportPursuit – My One-Stop Shop for all things Sporty
When it comes to sports I seem to be fairly seasonal, in Summer I love nothing more than to board a boat and sail away for a while, and in the Winter all I want to do is hit the slopes. Which is why when I discovered SportPursuit I thought all my prayers were answered … Continue reading
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. At just £1 each it’s a surprise I haven’t snapped up all 16 shades, but amazingly I’ve resisted…for now! I’m sure there have been plenty of … Continue reading
Topshop Sale Haul – Steam Cream, Meadham Kirchhoff Nail Rocks & a rather nutty necklace
So…. I know I was meant to be saving til payday but I just couldn’t help myself when I spotted these goodies in Topshop. I’ve wanted to try SteamCream for a while but have always been put off by the price, particularly when I was really buying it for the pretty tin. At £3 though … Continue reading
Review – Natural Hero Hot Ginger Muscle Rub & Cool Peppermint Muscle Spritz*
So you may remember me mentioning these Natural Hero products a few weeks ago as part of my Ski-centuals series. It sounds cheesy but these two products were my absolute saviours last week when I was on the slopes. In fact I don’t think I went a day without using them. I followed Louise’s advice … Continue reading
My Least Favourite Beauty Products of 2012
So I’ve covered off my Favourite Products of 2012 but which were the ones that left me feeling more than a little disappointed? Here are the products of the year that just didn’t work for me. Umberto Giannini Volume Blow Dry Spray – £5.49 from Boots I was willing to overlook the fact that the … Continue reading
Review – Collection (2000) Glam Crystals Glitter Gel Eye Liner
I don’t know about you but as soon as December comes around I develop an almost instant love of all things glittery, and these bad boys were no exception. Formerly Collection 2000, Collection have found a big place in my heart this year providing great quality cosmetics at purse-friendly prices. The Glam Crystals Dazzling Gel … Continue reading
