Hello :) The lovely Gem and I are doing a cheeky little guest post swap, once she’s come back from her trip to the states she’ll be doing a US beauty haul post on my blog, so you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled for that :) A little bit about me – I’m a … Continue reading
Whilst I’m not one for wearing lots of make up, the make up I do wear is rather long-lasting and as such I’m quite thorough when it comes to removing it and like to make sure every last scrap is removed before I go to sleep. It’s got so bad that Mike has actually asked … 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
I’ve just discovered Beauty Sets, a fab new website that allows you to create magazine style editorials at just a click of a button. I’m off to the states soon, which means trawling my favourite US sites for goodies I wish to buy, so I thought this would be the perfect excuse to have a play … Continue reading
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
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
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
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
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
Last night I joined the iFABBO and BlogTrends twitter chat on how to grow your blog readership. For upcoming bloggers I think events such as last night’s are crucial, not only for giving sound advice on blogging but also for networking with fellow bloggers. One of the key discussion points was guest blogging. Personally I … 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
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
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
