In Love With Fashion Sale Picks I gave up on BeautySets for a while as I just found the whole process a bit clunky, but when I discovered you could now create fashion sets I thought the latest ILWF blogger challenge was the ideal time to give it another try. The best improvement to BeautySets … Continue reading

Review – Superdrug Naturally Radiant Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser
Given I’m not a fan of the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser this is reportedly a dupe of I must admit I had pretty low expectations for Superdrug’s Naturally Radiant Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser (boy that’s a name and a half!). That said when I spotted it on offer for less than … Continue reading
Review – L’Oreal EverRiche Perfect Elixir Masque Spray
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
MoneySupermarket #PassionForFashion2 Competition Entry
I recently received an email from the team at Best British Bloggers telling me that MoneySupermarket were running a competition to win £1000 to put towards your Spring/Summer wardrobe. All you had to do was create three separate looks inspired by this year’s styles and trends and each look could cost no more than £200. … Continue reading
PR 101: MUA and How Not To Use Social Media
It’s no secret that I am was a huge fan of MUA and their great quality products and cheap and cheerful prices but recently it’s begun looking like their products come with a much bigger cost. I kept relatively quiet during their 50% off sale despite being one of the many, many customers who had payment … Continue reading
Flat Iron, Soho – My New Favourite Lunching Haunt
Last week I had to head to London for a lunch meeting. Usually I leave it down to someone else to choose where but on this occasion there was no escaping making a decision. It was a tough call. Lucky Chip had just opened Lucky Fried Chicken and I seem to be the only person … Continue reading
My Haircare Amnesty – My Shampoo & Conditioner Spending Ban
It wasn’t until I started having a bit of a clearout at the weekend that I realised just how many half used bottles of shampoo and conditioner I have. So I’ve put myself on a bit of spending ban when it comes to haircare. I mean just how many shampoos does one girl need? The … Continue reading
Duped – Nars Orgasm vs. Sleek Rose Gold Blush
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
What to spend your Boots No7 Vouchers on
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
Swatched – MUA Pro-Base Conceal & Brighten Kit in Porcelain
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
Swatched – Louise Gray for Topshop Up in the Air Blush Duo & Eye Cream Duo in Wave Machine
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
Swatched – MUA Lipstick Collection
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
Review – Collection (2000) Glam Crystals Glitter Gel Eye Liner
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
Ski-centuals – Neutrogena High SPF Sunscreens
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
US Drugstore Haul – Maybelline, Revlon, Covergirl & More…
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
Review – New York Color (NYC) in a New York Minute Nail Polish in Park Ave
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
MUA Haul #2 – Eye Primer, Trio Eyeshadow and Blushers in Shades 3 and 5
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
Review – Nivea Express Hydration Primer
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
MUA haul – Pro-Brow Kit and Blush in Shade 6
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
6 of the Best Autumn Nail Polishes
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
