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
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
Forget “I left my heart in Beverly Hills”, there’s only one city that’s captured my heart and that’s San Francisco. In fact I’ve even been known to contemplate moving to the city of fog my love runs that deep. Unfortunately I’m yet to find someone to offer me sponsorship else I’d be on a flight … Continue reading
*UPDATED* as of 31/10/13 Being the cool kid I am I’ve spent the first half of the bank holiday weekend getting our house neat and tidy. I’ve even finally tackled the mess that was my make up stash which is great news for me as I can now find everything easily and even greater news … Continue reading
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
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
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
When it comes to sports I seem to be fairly seasonal, in Summer I love nothing more than to board a boat and sail away for a while, and in the Winter all I want to do is hit the slopes. Which is why when I discovered SportPursuit I thought all my prayers were answered … 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
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
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’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
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
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
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
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
