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
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
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
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
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
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
Right, as part of my 2013 blogging resolutions I said I was going to make an effort to create more series features, so starting this week I’ll be writing a weekly Forgotten Favourites post each Friday. Each week I’ll be sharing with you some of my favourite products from the depths of my beauty stash. That’s … Continue reading
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
I have to admit I’ve been pretty disappointed with the calibre of products in the January Sales this year. Naturally this didn’t stop me from buying a whole heap of goodies from Space NK. So what was in these little black boxes of joy? Ta Dah! Here’s a closer look at what I bought. I’ve … 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
I feel like I’ve been out of the loop when it comes to MAC collections recently. Though that’s probably not a bad thing given my propensity to purchase anything with the limited edition tag for fear of non-buying remorse as soon as it’s hard to track down. But not this time. When it came to … Continue reading
As the title suggests, I just wanted to do one final round up post to share with you the bloggers I’ve been reading the most this year. If you want to see a full list of the bloggers I love please check out my Blogroll. Favourite Lifestyle Blogger – The Londoner Not only is Rosie … 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
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
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
I’ve had my eye on the Caudalie Beauty Elixir and Divine Oil for a while now but always assumed they were super expensive so didn’t go out of my way to buy them. This all changed whilst I was in the States last week. It’s no secret that Sephora is one of my favourite stateside … 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
As a seasoned long-haul traveller I know only too well what it’s like to struggle to rehydrate my skin or desperately battle with a break out. After several years of trial and error though, I’ve managed to minimise the effects of long-haul flying with these awesome products and if I am unfortunate enough to still … Continue reading
