Every girl needs a pink handbag. Originally I had my sights set on the pink Miu Miu bow bag, but when I took a look at it in person, it was more on the lilac side than I had imagined. I thought it would be better to spend that amount of money on a more neutral colour so I left the shop disappointed. Then whilst browsing TK Maxx online, I…
Transforming Hay Fever Eyes
It’s that time of year again. Not much sun, but a lot of hay fever. I never used to suffer from it and then during the summer of my first year at uni four years ago, it arrived completely out of the blue. I had no idea you could suddenly develop an allergy, but the signs were all there and it’s been hell ever since. Here’s what I’m faced with…
June Favourites
Everyone says it, but I can’t believe we’re more than halfway through the year! Here are my favourites for June… Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer There’s been a lot of hype around this product so I couldn’t wait to try it and see if it lived up to its claims. It’s an amazing product. I suffer from dark circles and I’ve struggled to find a concealer beside Estee Lauder’s Double…
Soft Summer Scents
Summer is finally on its way! With the birds chirping, the sun peeping out and milder temperatures, it’s time to step away from heavier scents in favour of fresh and light citrus and florals. Here are my current favourite perfumes for when I’m wanting a light and feminine scent. Jimmy Choo The Jimmy Choo fragrance has caused a stir since its launch in January, selling out in stores, causing queues…
Four Years Ago…
…my life changed. Today my fiancé Matt and I celebrate our four year anniversary. It seems like yesterday I was writing about our second year anniversary, and shortly afterwards, his magical proposal, and now here we are, just a few months away from celebrating our wedding day. Within six months of our relationship, we were talking about marriage, and all the cliches you hear about love, you suddenly realise they’re true – you really…
Coping with Keratosis Pilaris
I mentioned in my Nair Silky Sensations post I suffered from Keratosis Pilaris on my legs and I had a few questions about products I’d recommend to deal with it. As an inherited skin condition, frustratingly there is no cure, but there are palliative treatments which can calm the condition. I’ve found the best solution to treat KP is to kill it with kindness. With plenty of TLC, I’ve found…
Ardell Demi Wispies False Lashes
I’ve been experimenting with false lashes more than usual recently as our wedding is drawing closer and I’m searching for the perfect pair. I’m still planning on trying out some eyelash extensions which may take preference over falsies in the end, but until then, I’m having fun trying out different variations. I’d heard good things about Ardell lashes, and at just over £5 a pair and with so many styles…
Halo Hair Extensions
As a fan of big, voluminous Kim Kardashian hair, I was thrilled when a couple of months ago I was offered the chance to try Halo Hair Extensions. As I already have long hair, I went for the 20″ extensions in Chocolate Brown which matched my own length. The colour match is perfect. The hair extensions have the same red and copper multi tones as my own and blend in…
Take My Hand & Walk With Me…
I’ve been a bit AWOL lately. Wedding planning has been taking up a lot of time and then with the long Easter break, blogging took a back seat. The 11 day Easter break was like a miniature summer holiday. The weather was perfection and it gave my fiancé and I much appreciated time together just to relax and enjoy each others company. Here’s how we spent it… We started off the break by…
Primark OOTD
My love for Primark is well documented and inevitably every so often it happens that the outfit I put on consists entirely of Primark purchases. Here’s one of those days… A baby pink tunic layered over a nude lace vest with leggings and a jersey blazer. One of those easy outfits you can just throw on and be done! Do you ever find yourself wearing entirely one brand?
