Sorry for the radio silence these last few days, I had posts scheduled but real life got in the way and I didn’t get a chance to finish writing them up. Anyway, I’m back now with more suggestions of products you should be packing if you’re heading to the slopes this season or even if … Continue reading
I’ve decided to break this down into two parts as I had no idea how many nail polishes I’d bought until I came to re-pack my suitcase for the trip home. Mike’s face was a picture when he saw me unpack them all! So anyway, here’s my make up haul from CVS and Walgreens. I … Continue reading
When it comes to Victoria’s Secret I usually wander around the shop browsing but rarely purchase anything. This all changed however when I popped in last week to purchase some fragrances for a colleague with absolutely no intention to buy anything for myself. I was blown away by the sheer number of fragrances and couldn’t … Continue reading
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
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
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
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
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
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
In case you’ve missed the constant mentions, our wedding is now less than a year away. With this in mind I’ve popped a few bits and bobs up on eBay and will probably continue to upload things over the next few weeks. If you like Topshop, H&M, Urban Outfitters and Roxy to mention a few … Continue reading
Patience is usually not a virtue I possess, though it seems on this occasion I may have managed it. You see last year I trekked to every Boots imaginable on the hunt for the heart shaped chalk boards that were part of their annual Christmas 3 for 2 giftathon. Eventually I resigned myself to the … Continue reading
Wednesday, hump day, call it what you like, in our household Wednesday goes by one name and that’s Date Night. However, with our wedding now less than a year away we’ve had to find ways to keep costs down whilst still keeping the spirit of Date Night alive. Recently this has seen us swapping our … Continue reading
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
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
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
I’m feeling a tad smug tonight as I managed to get some wonderful bargain goodies for our wedding. The bubble wands were £3.75 for a pack of 24 wands in the Paperchase sale. They don’t seem to be on the website so I’d recommend checking your local store. For a while now I’ve had this … Continue reading
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
Here is the last in my series of reviews on the Sleek Blush by 3 range. If you’ve missed my review of Lace or Sugar you can find them here and here. Those of you who’ve read my blog for a while will know I’m not one to go on about packaging as lets face … Continue reading
What do Mac’s Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle and Accessorize’s Merged Eyeshadow in Golden Caramel have in common? Admittedly on paper these two products are completely different. One is a highlighter and the other is an eyeshadow but when swatched these two become one. Can you spot the difference? Ok, so they’re not … Continue reading
