Suzie Check Scarf – £19| Dubarry Galway boots – £299| Cable-knit jumper – £14.99| Larkworth Tweed jacket – £179| Allastone Sock Set – £14.50 Excuse the mass alliteration in the title, but with the winter weather upon us it seemed appropriate to pull together a quick post on my favourite items to keep toasty warm … 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
*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
I’m forever lusting over the stunning nail art some of my fellow beauty blogger manage to achieve and wishing I could replicate them. Unfortunately no matter how detailed the tutorial I just never manage to recreate their beautiful designs as I’m just so mal-coordinated when it comes to painting my nails that I only just … Continue reading
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
The clocks have sprung forward and it’s officially British Summertime, or so I’m told, so for this week’s wish list I’ve allowed my mind to wander to those lazy, hazy summer days and one of my favourite looks, seersucker. 1. Seersucker Hair Bow – £4.76 + shipping from Etsy 2. Striped Double Duvet Cover Set – … Continue reading
Today the folks at Benefit launched their awesome new Fake Up concealer. Earlier this week I blogged about the launch party where I learnt about what sets Fake Up apart from other concealers, and after putting all three shades through their paces over the last two weeks I thought it was about time I reviewed them. I love the … Continue reading
I’m usually not a huge fan of Barry M nail polish but as soon as I spotted these beauties I was converted. I mean just look at those colours, they just scream springtime! Lychee is a beautifully milky cream with a hint of taupe. I think this colour would be universally flattering no matter the … 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
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
Having sussed out my local MAC counter was one of the only ones left with all the Strength collection lipsticks in stock I hot footed it there for a spot of light swatching. I’d had my eye on Pink Pigeon and Party Parrot and fully expected they would be joining my already bursting collection of … Continue reading
I have to level with you and say I hardly ever buy aerosol sprays as I’m always conscious of their impact on the environment, but when Bzzagent offered me the chance to try out the new Dove Compressed deodorant for free I was happy to give it a try. At half the size of the standard Dove … Continue reading
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
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
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

Each week I’ll be sharing with you some of my favourite products from the depths of my beauty stash. That’s … 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
Designers Guild scented candle – Linen* You may recognise this wonderful looking candle from my Amara Christmas Gift Ideas post. The kind folks from Amara got in touch and asked me if I’d like to review one of their scented candles and this seemed like the perfect one for me. Fresh, non-floral scent – check! Shades … Continue reading
I’ve been dabbling with BB creams for a while, ever since I received my Dr Jart+ Water Fuse sample from Sephora, and then consequently purchased it before I head back to the UK (which I reviewed here), but nothing has really stood out as being a must have item. Nothing that is until I found … Continue reading
