I know these posts can be a bit controversial, sometimes seen as bragging but I love reading these posts and I'm a firm believer in writing what you want to read. I thought I'd share a few things I got for Christmas, leaving out some stuff like socks and chocolate Brussel sprouts because I wasn't sure how interesting that would be! The big...
It takes a certain type of product for me to dedicate an entire post to it. Mostly, it's the kind of product that has received huge amounts of hype in the blogging community and I feel the need to add my two pennies worth. Or maybe it's a product that I've used and suddenly realised that OH MY GOD THIS IS LIFE CHANGING...
Is there anything better than getting all cosy with a blanket, some hot chocolate and your favourite Christmas film?! Today, I've got a few of my all time favourites that I'll be watching in the run up to Christmas. Love Actually For a bit of Christmas romance, you can't beat Love Actually. I still think this is the ultimate Christmas film, it's so...
When December hits, it's all about the glitter. I've always been obsessed with glitter polish, although it's a PAIN to remove, I think it's worth it. It's not Christmas without a glitter manicure! Today, I'm rounding up a few of my favourite glitter nail polish to make you feel super festive. For budget glitter nails, look no further than Barry M, I especially...
With Christmas spirit creeping into the air, I'm definitely starting to get excited for the festive season and all the sparkle that comes with it. I've put together a little wish list of some beauty bits that would be perfect for the Christmas party season, several of these are on my Christmas wish list too! I don't think I'll ever do a wish...
I love to read all year round but the cold and dark nights of autumn make me want to curl up with a good book more than ever! Here are three books I've recently read that I recommend picking up. The Time Traveler's by Audrey Niffenegger I'm putting this book in here but my feelings about it are slightly mixed. It's the story...
I know, another serious blogger cliché! I love rose gold, it's just a little bit different (although maybe not now everyone seems to love it) and is so darn pretty! I am loving my Michael Kors watch as a statement piece, the design is so simple but the big face means it's definitely not subtle (for reference, the model is MK3197). If I...
Throwback to when I was about 13 years old and just getting into the wonderful world of make up, my must have product was undoubtedly lipgloss. The sparklier and stickier the better. I remember going into Boots and buying the entire Natural Collection lipgloss range (Raspberry Ripple was a personal fave). I used to layer them on my lips like some pouty princess....
I love luxurious beauty items, I really do. I have no qualms about spending more than is probably acceptable or sensible on a pretty lipstick but sometimes, you need to step away from the MAC counter and spend money on other important things, like you know, food and stuff. Anyway, I think I have found my perfect nail polish and lipstick duo for...
I think rainy, grey Sundays were made for baking. There's really nothing like the smell of freshly baked cookies to perk up a dull day! My favourite cookies to bake for the past couple of years have been these super chocolatey cookies from a blog post by the wonderful Vivianna Does Make Up which I'll leave here so any of you that have...
MAC is one of those brands that makes me giddy with excitement. It can be quite overwhelming because there is just so much to choose from, especially when there is always an exciting limited edition collection alongside the extensive permanent line. Some collections make me swoon, others, I'm not so fussed about. However, there was one stand out item from the recent MACnificent...
I am a Harry Potter obsessive. I was part of the generation that grew up with Harry Potter. I remember my parents read me the first book when I was very small and then that was it, I was hooked. I've read the books and seen the films more times than I can count over the years, it's a story I very much...
An entire post dedicated to a shower product? Is this my life now? Yes, yes it is. You may remember all the excitement surrounding the opening of the new flagship Lush store on Oxford street. I was definitely excited because Lush has been one of my favourite brands for so many years now and three whole floors of Lush goodies and new exclusive...
Another round-up of the TV shows I'm loving at the moment! House of Cards On paper, this is not my type of show, it's a smart, slick political thriller but I'm a sucker for a hype and everyone was talking about it. Now I see why. The show follows Washington congressman Frank Underwood and his wife Claire and their rise to power. Honestly...
When it comes to make up, I'm a real creature of habit, I like what I know and I know what I like. With the season change, I'm trying to switch things up a little bit, I have a lot of make up, I need to use it! For my base, I have absolutely fallen in love with the L'Oréal Infallible Matte foundation....
As today marks the first official day of Autumn, I'm in two minds about the new season; part of me is dreading waking up for work when it's dark outside and being unable to walk around the house bare foot for fear of frost bite, but of course there are some amazing things about the upcoming season that may just make...
Oh concealer you Monday morning saviour. Disguising sleepless nights and chocolate binges, concealer really is a miracle worker. I've rounded up my top 3 concealers for covering up dark circles and unsightly blemishes. I seriously cannot be without them. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer The budget option, this concealer is seriously hyped within the blogging community and with good reason. It's a very full coverage concealer...
At the beginning of this month, my boyfriend and I headed down to the beautiful harbour town of Padstow in Cornwall. This is hands down one of my favourite places in the entire world. It's so picturesque and quaint! It was a brisk visit, 2 nights and 3 days, but it was perfect. We were actually so luck with the weather, a slight...
Tinted brow gels are genius. These tiny unassuming products have the ability to transform even the barest brows into ones that would rival Cara's. They look so much more subtle than pencil or powder and are so teeny they can fit in everyone's make up bag.I've been putting two to the test recently to compare, the L' Oreal Brow Artist Plumper in medium/dark...
Yeah ok so it's only just September but it's felt like autumn since mid August so I think this post is totally appropriate. In fact, I'm surprised I managed to wait this long. I love all the seasons, I don't have a favourite, but I'm definitely a big fan of autumn for fashion and beauty (and the return of strictly come dancing). I...
I'm typing this post on a rain Sunday in August and it really does seem like summer is over. I love autumn, don't get me wrong, but I'm not totally sure I'm ready for it, I mean, did we even really get a proper summer?! I still have so many floral short and floaty sundresses to wear! Anyway, onto some very pretty things...
For a hoarder, it's so satisfying using up products and hopefully downsizing my over flowing beauty stash. If you don't know the concept of empties, I show you the products I've used up and give you a full review and whether I would repurchase them or not. Lush Big shampoo I have very fine hair that needs washing often and I find some...
