The Sunday Post: Burgers & Bad Dates

Phew! This week came and went so quickly, I've had a jam packed week and consumed a lot of tasty treats on the way... Earlier in the week I met up with Lauren Number Two for a long overdue catch up, we gorged ourselves on what has to be said was the best crepè  I've ever had. Milky Bar melted chocolate and strawberries seriously do make the best combination EVER. Only to be topped by a second visit to My Old Dutch with Team...

Look Beauty: Triple Hit Eyeshadow

Look Beauty Triple Hit Eyeshadow in Party Fever* I do have a soft spot for the Look Beauty offerings, with a special mention to their Loud Lips lipstick range which I have reviewed here, here, and here back in the very early days of LR. For beauty on a budget, I would say Look Beauty has it nailed. Or had it nailed.. With Rimmel, Bourjois, and Sleek really upping the anty, my days perusing the Look Beauty counter are few...

They see me Haulin'...

Oops, I entered Boots armed with points coupons and this is what happened. Yet another Boot's binge, but I did earn £20 on my Boots card just from using the Boots Summer Coupons. Great stuff.  I've never really done a haul type post, but they are one of my favourite posts to read, so do let me know if you would want to see more like this!  I went a bit Bourjois mad picking up their Bronzing Primer, the much gabbed about...

Melt Candle in Joy

Melt Candle in Joy*  Candles are somewhat of a blogger cliché these days, but for me there is nothing better than snuggling up after a long day with a flickering scented candle filling your room with light floral notes. Oh, and of course add a bar of Galaxy, some New Girl, and a mug of hot chocolate and you pretty much have perfection. Scented candles by Melt are lovingly hand poured in a Lancashire valley, each candle is...

The Sunday Post: Interning, YouTube, and UV Paint!

As you are all most probably well aware, last week I started my internship at Gleam, and boy was I excited about it. Despite getting my student body out of my nocturnal sleeping habits, and dragging myself to commute every morning, I am absolutely loving every minute of it. Team Gleam have made me feel so at home, and it's a great place to work and long may I continue to be there.  A week in and I've already been featured...

Emma Hardie Amazing Face Cleansing Balm

I may be a little late of the review front with this little pot of joy, but I have been using this religiously for the past two months. I wanted to really see how well it worked for me, and any changes in my skin tone and blemishes before giving a true review. At first I really couldn't get to grips with using a cleansing balm, having been used to clay or water based formula's. I didn't know how much I should be using, and used too...

The Sunday Post: Happy Father's Day!

Today's 'The Sunday Post' is going to be a little bit different, and I think you can all guess what it's all about. This post is dedicated to the man I can always count on, who always makes me feel better when I'm sick, and who comes up with the most stupid stories and jokes, my dad. So here's a few snaps of my dad and me, I tend to decrease in cuteness, whereas my dad's hair similarly decreases until he's a right ol' slap head!...

Think Pink

A year or two back and you would have not have found a single pink lipstick in my stash, nor nail polish, I had a single Natural Collection Rosy pink blush but that was the extent of my daring. I was always made to believe pink was just a colour off limits to the likes of redheads like me, that and yellow clothing. Too bright, too much contrast, but now I embrace pink it all it's rosy shades and hues. Baby pinks are obviously...

New In: Rayware Afternoon Tea Collection

I have a bit of a home decor/interiors addiction, with many hours spent browsing online boutiques, the racks of The Range, and awaiting deliveries from Dunelm Mill. My bank balance is weeping slightly, to say the least. I may have got a bit too caught up with buying bit's for a flat for me and the boy, a flat that we don't actually have yet may I add... My newest decor crush has to be pastel and shabby chic kitchen crockery and...

Two Step Toner

Yonka Lotion Yon-Ka Toner*  Clarins Gentle Exfoliator Brightening Toner Always one to listen earnestly to the skincare advice of Caroline Hirons, I eagerly took note of her top toner tips. Caroline recommends using two different types of toner, one to first exfoliate the skin, and the one to hydrate.  So with these words of wisdom I took to the two step toner method with the following toner combo... I'll start...

The Game Changer: REN F10 Smooth and Renew Mask

REN F10 Smooth and Renew Mask* £20 REN are my go to skincare brand for fail safe products that I always love, that work for me without irritating my sensitive skin, or breaking me out. Quite a mean feat, I must add. I have tried the REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask before, which seems to be the most popular choice for your skin's weekly dose of acids (thank you Caroline Hirons!), however, I felt it was a touch too strong for...

they think they're from the sixties, but they were born in 1991

I know I keep harping on about how beautiful the weather has been, but it makes taking outfit snaps all the more fun. This post may be a bit photo hefty but Jon and I got a bit carried away taking pictures in the fields by my house. One downfall was the high pollen count, grrr hayfever is such a burden. My eyes kept watering and I was sneezing every five minutes, which made for some very dodgy looking outtake photo's let me tell you... I...
