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
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
So not so long ago I told you how the kind folks at Niven & Joshua sent us Mikey, some fab Polaar products to try out on our ski trip. If you missed that post you can find it here. Mike received the Hydraprotect UV+ Moisturiser which aims to protect the skin from the damages of pollution, stress and … Continue reading
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
For the final part of my Ski-centuals series I thought I’d show you what I took with me on our recent ski trip. When you’re out in the elements it’s essential to keep your skin both protected and hydrated. Which is exactly what these products are great at doing. Boots Essentials Cucumber Cleansing Wipes – … Continue reading
Even if you’re not hitting the slopes this season, lip balms are an absolute saviour if you want soft, supple lips in the Winter. Here’s a selection of 5 of the best lip balms I’ve found. Blistex Raspberry Lemonade Blast – £1.75 from Superdrug Great for those who like sweet, fruity lip balms but don’t … Continue reading
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
It’s hard to believe that it’s the final day of 2012, a time to reflect on the year gone by and the products that have made it great. It was hard to narrow it down to just a handful as there’s been some truly awesome products I’ve discovered this year, however with the exception of … Continue reading
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
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’d heard such great things about the Perricone MD No Concealer Concealer but always been put off by the price. I mean let’s face it, £37 for a concealer is more than a little steep, particularly when you see the size of the bottle. However when I spotted it in Sephora for $39 I soon … Continue reading
Last night was our infamous team pub crawl #12PubsofXmas so I’ll keep this short and sweet. If there’s one thing you need to try this Christmas it’s the beastly Triple Cheesemas burger from Byron. This monster burger features not one, but two 6oz patties, three types of cheese and Byron’s signature spicy sauce. I first … 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
Being the great Fiancee/Girlfriend I am I appreciate that it’s not just us girlies who suffer with skin issues when Jack Frost comes around which is why I was quick to pick up this fab little set for Mike when I was wandering Sephora last week. Of course I also wanted to use him as … Continue reading
Designers Guild scented candle – Linen* You may recognise this wonderful looking candle from my Amara Christmas Gift Ideas post. The kind folks from Amara got in touch and asked me if I’d like to review one of their scented candles and this seemed like the perfect one for me. Fresh, non-floral scent – check! Shades … Continue reading
I’ve been dabbling with BB creams for a while, ever since I received my Dr Jart+ Water Fuse sample from Sephora, and then consequently purchased it before I head back to the UK (which I reviewed here), but nothing has really stood out as being a must have item. Nothing that is until I found … Continue reading
As I mentioned in my Origins Haul post, I have fallen head-over-heels in love with their GinZing eye cream, so much so that I bought a full size pot the very same week my sample arrived. If that doesn’t say something, nothing will! I must admit when it comes to eye creams I always start … 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’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
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
