Barry M Dolly Pink Lip Paint
Whilst rooting around in mymakeup collection the other day I came across Barry M Dolly Pink Lip Paint (no.146), a long forgotten unloved lippie from a few years ago. I’m guilty of being a stuck in a rut when it comes to lipstick, I favour nudes and pinks over bright colours but since daring to wear red lipstick I’ve been more adventurous when it comes colour. Rediscovering the aptly named…

Mulberry Bayswater in Oak Natural Leather
I’ve been coveting a Mulberry Bayswater for years. For me, Mulberry make the most classic, elegant handbags and the Bayswater is iconic, instantly recognisable and oozing style and class. The Bayswater is one of those bags that will never go out of fashion and can be worn with any outfit, be it casual or smart. My heart leapt with joy when my husband surprised me with a beautiful Mulberry Bayswater as a wedding present. The…
Cor Silver Soap
The Silver Soap by Cor is a bit of a wonder product. The little orange orb looks unassuming but it’s packed full of multi-tasking super ingredients. A product which claims to cleanse, even skin tone, fade sun spots, maintain moisture, minimise wrinkles, replenish collagen and deliver UV protection, all in a single step certainly had my attention, and with Sarah Jessica Parker being a fan, I was expecting good things. What…
Topshop Hyperreal Nail Polish
Whilst in the payment queue in Topshop this weekend, I spotted Hyperreal Nail Polish – a beautiful coppery rose gold colour with a touch of shimmer to it. It was too lovely not to buy and I promptly applied it once I returned home. It’s fast drying, streak-free and took two coats for an opaque finish. I love it. What do you think? Topshop Hyperreal Nail Polish is priced at £6 and…
17 Mirror Shine On Lipstick – Nudist Peach
My favourite lip product of 2011 has to be the 17 Mirror Shine On lipsticks. These creamy tubes of loveliness blur the line between lipstick and lipbalm so they’e easy to wear and they’re the kind of product you can apply without using a mirror. They’re highly glossy (without being sticky) and moisturising but give a good amount of sheer colour to the lips. The 17 Mirror Shine On lippies aren’t particularly long lasting…
Marie Claire Blog Awards 2012
I’m delighted to say I’ve been ‘longlisted’ for a Marie Claire Blog Award in the Best Beauty Blog category. There seems to have been a bit of a mishap as I was sent an email yesterday morning informing me I had been longlisted but my name wasn’t to be seen on the list and so I thought there had been a mistake, but by the end of the day my…
Jason Wu + Melissa Ultragirl Black Shoes
After falling in love with the beautiful Melissa + Vivienne Westwood Tortoiseshell Bow Pumps, I was eager to add more Melissa shoes to my collection so I was delighted when my husband gave me these gorgeously glossy black Jason Wu + Melissa flats as one of my Christmas presents.The shoes are based on the design of the bestselling Melissa Ultragirl pumps, whilst the cute owl bows that adorn the toes of…
Disaster Designs Dandy Makeup Bag
It’s surprising just how long I’ve managed without a makeup bag. In the past I’ve been guilty of grabbing any makeup I want to take out with me and throwing it into my bag. However, since my husband surprised me with a lovely Mulberry Bayswater as a wedding present, tossing makeup into the beautiful suede interior isn’t an option. This makeup bag from Disaster Designs was the perfect solution. Everything about it…
