Christmas Fairy Cakes

As my Christmas present to the rest of my team at work I decided to make cupcakes instead of going with the traditional buying alcohol or chocolate, I just thought it would be a bit more personal if I did something with a bit more thought. I took a few photos whilst I was making them so I thought I'd show you. The...

On one of my recent visits to Lush to pick up all the new Christmas goodies, I also asked for a few samples of some bits I had been wanting to buy for ages.

Jouer Matte Moisture Tint Review

Here are my full thoughts on the Jouer Matte Moisture Tint (£29/ 50ml). I chose the shade 'Nude' because I was buying online and went only by swatches from other bloggers and it is a tiny bit too dark for me so next time I think I will go with 'Linen' which is just one shade lighter, I'm probably an inbetweener so mixing...

Vitamin E Aqua Boost Sorbet (£12/ 50ml) 'Shine free. Drenches skin with.moisture for 24 hours and leaves it feeling silky-soft. Massage a small amount into face and neck using upward circular motions. Suitable for all skin types.'

Today, since we are in the middle of December (the most expensive month of the year for those of us celebrating Christmas), I wanted to share my thoughts on which products I personally feel are worth spending the extra cash on.  I had a long think about it, added up all my pros and cons along with a quick rifle through my own...

Anastasia Brow Wiz

Since my beloved Hourglass Arch had run out I decided it was time to purchase the super hyped up Anastasia Brow Wiz to see how it compared and if it could take the top spot away from its Hourglass Rival. Here's my conclusion. So, unlike the Hourglass packaging it's very drugstore-esque, thin and plastic and in no way as luxurious as the Arch's...
