I have always said that when purchasing a foundation...always get a sample to take home and try in natural light and together with the rest of your usual makeup..... Fast forward to a December shopping trip to Westfield, London and me spotting a brand new Charlotte Tilbury shop had opened! My hubby and I had … Continue reading Hit or Miss? Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation…
I have been terrible for buying products, especially skin care products, trying it a few times and then either...not liking it so I give up, I get bored of it because it doesn't really do anything, I have it for so long after opening it I can't remember whether it's been open longer than the … Continue reading The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Mask…..empty 🙂
In my makeup draw I have makeup that I haven't really used but bought thinking I would use it....I used to do that a lot! The problem with that is makeup does have an expiry date from when you open it so it leads to a lot of wastage. I have a stack of 9 … Continue reading Bellapierre Shimmer Powders
6th December already....this month really is flying by! Today's advent calendar treat was the Eyeko Skinny Liquid Eyeliner in black. I am not great at using these felt-tip style eye liners and much prefer the thin line that can be achieved with something like Urban Decay's RazorSharp eyeliner.

I'm in the UK! Scrolling through Facebook however, I noticed an advert by Estee … Continue reading My Estee Lauder Bargain!

I was using a clear mascara as an eyebrow gel by Miss Sporty, but to be honest, it could do with a replacement as it is … Continue reading 25 Days of Blogging – Countdown to Christmas Day 4 🙂
I'm loving this M&S beauty calendar! Getting proper little treats every day! 🙂 Today's box contained the Filorga Time Filler, Absolute Wrinkle Correction Cream. Again before blogging, I thought I'd at least test it to give a 'first impression' rather than a 'look what I've got today' kind of read. I did a bit of … Continue reading 25 Days of Blogging – Countdown to Christmas Day 3 🙂
Day 2 of my advent calendar was the one product I was most excited about trying! Rodial Super Acides X-Treme Acid Rush Peel. I wanted to use this before writing this blog so I could give a review rather than just tell you what I got! So that's what I've done! The peel is to … Continue reading 25 Days of Blogging – Countdown to Christmas…Day 2
1st December is here so time to get into the Advent Calendar! The kids have their chocolate ones, and me....I have a beauty one! 🙂 The M&S Beauty Advent Calendar! When it comes to beauty products, to have 25 items sat there, it's probably easier to resist opening all of the doors on a chocolate … Continue reading 25 days of blogging…..countdown to Christmas!
My birthday was just over a week ago and I received lots of lovely gifts, including the new Urban Decay Full Spectrum Palette 🙂 Beautifully bright colours, almost all shimmery, with the exception of the matte white in the bottom right corner which as I have found is brilliant for setting a cream eyeshadow base, … Continue reading Urban Decay Full Spectrum Palette Trying out my birthday treat 🙂
