When it comes to style I like to think I’m an eclectic mix of retro and modern which is why I’m such a fan of Cath Kidston and her modern twist on classic designs. I am obsessed with retro prints and polka dots, and have been hugely inspired by Cath Kidston prints when designing my … Continue reading

Swatched – Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Stellar, Apocalyptic & Nova
I’m loving Rimmel Apocalips lip lacquer right now. So much so that I just couldn’t help myself from stocking up on another three colours in the Boots 3 for 2 offer. Unfortunately Nude Eclipse was still out of stock in the three Boots stores I looked in so I purchased Stellar, Apocalyptic and Nova instead. I had … Continue reading
Swatched – Rimmel Apocalips in Luna, Celestial & Big Bang
Yesterday the much hyped Apocalips lip lacquer from Rimmel finally hit the shops. I’d intended to hold off on buying them until Friday when I get paid, but when I spotted Boots were running a 3 for 2 offer on them I thought it’d be rude not to buy a couple of them on the … 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
Victoria’s Secret – Pure Seduction Fragrance Mist and Eau de Toilette
When it comes to Victoria’s Secret I usually wander around the shop browsing but rarely purchase anything. This all changed however when I popped in last week to purchase some fragrances for a colleague with absolutely no intention to buy anything for myself. I was blown away by the sheer number of fragrances and couldn’t … 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
A Little Splash of Summer on a Cloudy Day – Dessy Bridesmaid Dress Shopping
With less than a year to go until the big day I’m suddenly panicking about all the “it can wait” tasks I’ve pushed to one side during our wedding planning. Which is why I find myself looking at summer dresses in the throes of Autumn and also why I’m shunning the grey skies that Autumn … Continue reading
Sail Away With Me – Lusting after Sperry Topsiders
It’s Cowes Week which means one thing! I will spend the whole week wishing I were aboard a yacht in the middle of the ocean rather than sat at my desk sipping tepid hot chocolate. Between doing actual work I’ve been feverishly checking the race results and obsessively tweeting my favourite shoe brand @Sperry_UK badgering, … Continue reading

If you’re still not sold on the latest Mac collection, Hey, Sailor! worry not. I’ve swatched some of the collection to help you decide which items deserve a seat at the captain’s table and which should be thrown back to sea. So far I’ve covered off the Powder Blushes and the Crew Highlighter so take a peek if you’ve … Continue reading
Sleek Blush by 3 Sugar Palette Review
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
