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
Wednesday, hump day, call it what you like, in our household Wednesday goes by one name and that’s Date Night. However, with our wedding now less than a year away we’ve had to find ways to keep costs down whilst still keeping the spirit of Date Night alive. Recently this has seen us swapping our … 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 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
I’m feeling a tad smug tonight as I managed to get some wonderful bargain goodies for our wedding. The bubble wands were £3.75 for a pack of 24 wands in the Paperchase sale. They don’t seem to be on the website so I’d recommend checking your local store. For a while now I’ve had this … Continue reading
Last weekend I made the exciting discovery that my JC Litas had finally arrived from the US (I’ll be doing a review of them and the company I used soon), unfortunately they were a 35 minute drive away and I was without a car. To make matters worse the depot was closing in an hour … Continue reading
Here is the last in my series of reviews on the Sleek Blush by 3 range. If you’ve missed my review of Lace or Sugar you can find them here and here. Those of you who’ve read my blog for a while will know I’m not one to go on about packaging as lets face … Continue reading
What do Mac’s Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle and Accessorize’s Merged Eyeshadow in Golden Caramel have in common? Admittedly on paper these two products are completely different. One is a highlighter and the other is an eyeshadow but when swatched these two become one. Can you spot the difference? Ok, so they’re not … Continue reading
Here is the second in my series of reviews of the Sleek Blush by 3 range. If you missed my review of the Lace palette you can find it here. I almost didn’t buy this blush palette when I saw it as the image on the Sleek website makes it look way darker than it actually … Continue reading
When I first spotted the new Blush by 3 range from Sleek I just knew I had to have a few of the palettes. So fittingly, here is the first of 3 reviews. Out of the 3 blush palettes I purchased Lace was the one I wanted the most. Bright and summery, it looked ideal for summer days … Continue reading
For the last few months me and Mr G have been relaxing safe in the knowledge that we’ve got this whole wedding thing well and truly wrapped up. It’s amazing how quickly we’ve forgotten all the stress and panic (mainly on my part!) of finding our dream rustic venue. So I thought I’d pull together … Continue reading
Recently we’ve been making a conscious effort to use up any half-used toiletries in an attempt to make our house move in March a little more manageable. That said, there was one product I was hoping would last until the next Boots £5 voucher offer came about. Alas, I ran out of my beloved The … Continue reading
As I trudged home last night in the freezing cold I knew there was only one thing that would warm me up, my mummies yummy, scrummy fauxsotto or risotto as she’d call it. Not only is this a relatively healthy winter warmer, it’s also the perfect way to use up whatever’s left in the fridge/cupboard. … 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
I just LOVE this look right now as seen on the models at Gareth Pugh’s latest show. In fact I loved it so much that I went straight out and bought a Barry M Nail Paint in Cobalt Blue and the Miss Sporty Clubbing Colours Nail Polish in Gold Backstage in an attempt to recreate … Continue reading
