I'm So Pretty

I had to buy into the pastel nail trend, even though I already have enough pastel nail polishes to start my own shop, sometime you just have to and I am so glad with my two gorgeous picks. I went for the Barry M collection, although tempted my the Models Own and L'oreal counters I decided to stick to my old faithful, (I'm...

Skincare Sunday

Sunday is always a nice day to chill out, relax and treat yourself, so today I decided to treat my skin in particular, in every way, cleansing, exfoliating, moisturising, a mask, the works. This is just a low down on the lovely products I used today.To cleanse I used the Body Shops Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter first to get all the nasties off,...

MAC 217 Brush

A few weeks ago I finally decided to bite the debit-card-shaped bullet and spend £18 on a tiny make up brush in the form of the famous MAC 217 Blending Brush. Having only recently developed a new obsession with eyeshadow, I was reluctant to buy it straight away despite it repeatedly showing up on my to-buy list and despite every single blogger &...

Granny Chic

So my lovely, thoughtful Nan popped in the other day and she had picked me up some cute treats on a recent shopping trip, a book entitled Granny Chic by Tif Fussell & Rachelle Blondel (ISBN 978-0-85783-155-2, RRP £16.99) and two beautiful Cath Kidston hand towels in pink and blue floral. I thought I had to do a blog post about these gifts,...

Avene's perfect pair

I had never actually used any Avene products until this month, but I think I have found myself 2 firm favourites for the 'forever repurchase' list, and I've got my eye on a sneaky third product (the Soothing Hydrating Serum £17). The 2 products I picked up are the Avene Thermal Spring Water £6.50 and the Avene Micellar Lotion £12.50. I only really picked...

So for glosses the drugstore is where its at, the Barry M glosses £4.49, are all gorgeous, I have had this one for ages and don't actually...

Collective Haul

Mani Monday

I cracked last week and decided to order YSL Rose Scabiosa 48 Nail Lacquer. I saw it first on Tamira's blog, Lipstick With Some Sunshine and I knew I was in love with it but I was resisting buying it until... I was on the Debenhams site and they were having their 10% off beauty, so it was down to £16.20 from £18....

10 Favourite Bloggers

I thought I would do a post on my favourite bloggers. I follow a good few and generally use Bloglovin to find posts that catch my attention, I just scroll endlessly randomly clicking when I find something cool but I also have a few in my 'favourites' list that I always check no matter what, these are the top 10 so far. (I...

Vichy Dermablend Fluid Corrective Foundation 16hr

I am a base fiend and so I love buying new foundations, concealers, powders and now primers too. I love my full coverage as I'm a bit under confident because of my continual skin problems, and good quality full coverage foundations seem pretty hard to come by (I hate compact foundations and stick-form foundations, I generally find them cake because of my dry...

Oily Skin. Tips, Tricks & Myths.

This post was just a little idea I had recently, I thought I would share all my knowledge (not that there is mountains of it) on the oily skin type. It seems like there are so many restrictions when you have oily skin, but most of them are actually myths or things that can be manoeuvred around. I hope this is somewhat useful,...

I have been scrolling endlessly through reviews of this apparently amazing, holy grail stuff, it claims to cure all the problems that I suffer with my skin… clogged up pores, redness, scars lefts from blemishes, so I thought I had better give it a go, especially since there has been a wonderful 3 for 2 offer in Boots over the last few weeks....
