It’s belatedly that time of year again when I share with you the products that made 2013 great. As it’s a new year I’m not going to bore you by repeating the products that featured in my top beauty products of 2012 as whilst they’re great and all if you wanted to read about the products … Continue reading
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
I’m a huge fan of cream blushes so as soon as I heard Bourjois were launching a range of cream blushers I just had to find out more. It’s surprising that after almost 150 years Bourjois haven’t already created a cream blush, but hey, better late than never! The range currently comes in four colours … Continue reading
It’s my birthday in a few weeks time and being the subtle little creature I am I thought I’d share with you the goodies that are on my birthday wishlist. Mike, Mum, Nana take note ;) 1. HealGel Face – £48 from HealGel 2. Polaroid X800E 8MP Waterproof Digital Camera – £39.99 from Amazon UK … 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
It’s Wednesday and only two more days until payday so I thought I’d show you what I’m planning to buy come Friday. 1. Blog Inc. by Joy Deangdeelert Cho – £9.98 from Amazon. I feel my blog is in a good place right now and want to make sure I keep it moving in the right … 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
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
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
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
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
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
So here’s the deal. I’ve got far too many clothes that I don’t wear (show me a girl who doesn’t?!) and a love/bordering obsession with Jeffrey Campbell Litas. So I’ve set myself a little challenge to sell as many of my unwanted goodies on ebay before next Thursday in order to cover the cost of … Continue reading
When I heard about Walk to Work week I jumped at the chance to get involved. Admittedly it may have had something to do with the offer of a free pedometer and a voucher for a muffin and a hot drink, but still, that’s not the point. So as of 2pm I clipped on and … Continue reading
Every time Spring rolls around I begin the transformation from Winter hibernation to Summer beach babe. Now usually this involves me grabbing my pot of St Ives Invigorating All Over Body Scrub (which I swear by), defuzzing my legs and then slathering on whichever moisturiser takes my fancy in the shops. This year that moisturiser was … Continue reading
Wanna know my secret to longer lasting flawless make up? Ok, it’s not really THAT secret, in fact when I googled it I was surprised by the number of threads about it and even more surprised by the reluctance of so many to try it. So what am I talking about? I’m talking about the … Continue reading
In an effort to blog that little bit more I’ve decided to start a weekly feature on my favourite brands. This week I’m looking at Sanctuary skincare products. I stumbled across their fab skincare range when I had a few £5 off vouchers from Boots; my trusty face wash had just run out and I … Continue reading
