Is this not the most beautiful baby pink lipstick you’ve ever seen? The appropriately named Baby Pink is one of four new shades to grace the Clarins signature lipstick collection. Part of the new Colour Breeze Spring Makeup Collection, this pale pink delivers a perfect posy pout. I adore how luxurious the packaging looks and feels – everything from the weighty, silver tube to the Clarins logo embossed on the…
The Manor House Hotel
I’m rather late in posting this but it was such a lovely weekend away I couldn’t resist blogging about it. December began in a wonderful way, first with my brother’s winter wedding where I was a bridesmaid and then the very next day it was my birthday. As I got in the passenger seat of our car to make the journey from London back to Nottingham (upon which I promptly…
Barry M Peachy Pink Lip Paint
Continuing on with my reviews of previously unloved Barry M Lip Paints, here’s Peachy Pink (no. 147), a beautiful peachy coral shade which is perfect for spring to pair with the pastel trend! Barry M can be a bit hit and miss with their Lip Paint formulas, and unlike Dolly Pink and Cerise Pink, Peachy Pink is quite drying and less creamy which is a slight letdown as it’s such…
Cosy Cashmere
Shawl: Hayley Menzies Leggings: American Apparel Shoes: New Look Jumper: Dorothy Perkins Necklace: H&M Watch: Michael Kors My cousin recently gifted my with this beautiful dove grey shawl from her gorgeous collection Hayley Menzies, in perfect time for the cold snap! It’s the most beautiful blue/grey colour and I loved wrapping myself up in luxurious cashmere which kept me snug and warm. I paired it with my new American Apparel Disco Pants. They…
My Week in Instagram
Aroundup of the last week or so: – The beautiful photo’s I ordered from Sweet Days with Elle & Mia, wrapping up in a Hayley Menzies (my lovely cousin’s collection!) cashmere & fur shawl to brave the snow, admiring my sparkling engagement and wedding rings, peeking out the window to look at the snow, lunch at our favourite pub The Rancliffe Arms on a beautiful sunny day, Matt keeping warm with a scarf whilst browsing…

Christina Aguilera Secret Potion
I can’t resist a feminine fragrance so when I read about Christina Aguilera’s Secret Potion perfume, I knew I’d love it. It’s described as an Oriental floral blend, opening with passion fruit and citrus notes of lemon and mandarin, settling into a warm heart of jasmine, orange and white lotus whilst the musky base notes include warm amber, tonka beans and ebony wood. The bottle is as girly and youthful…
Barry M Cerise Pink Lip Paint
Another lipstick treasure found in the depths of my makeup collection. Barry M Cerise Pink Lip Paint (no.144) appears as a deep burgundy shade in the tube but translates to a beautiful pink berry shade once on the lips. The formula is just as lovely as Barry M Dolly Pink Lip Paint – highly pigmented, easy to apply and leaving a satin sheen. It also lasts an impressive of amount…
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation
Boujois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation is my current favourite foundation. If you want healthy, glowing skin in an instant, this foundation delivers it. Light on the skin with a silky gel texture, it buffs and blends beautifully into the skin resulting in the perfect balance between dewy and matte. As with all my foundations, I use my Sigma F80 or ELF Studio Kabuki Brush to apply for a flawless…
Our English Country Garden Wedding
I can’t quite believe that it has already been five months since Matt and I said our vows. How quickly the time has flown! In the lead up to our wedding I had no nerves whatsoever. I was cool and calm up until the night before the big day, when during a meal with our families, they hit me full on and I could barely eat a thing! My bridemaids and…
