Can we say that spring is here yet? If the lighter evenings and warmer days are anything to go by, I think we can happily say that it is. To celebrate the change in season, I thought I’d round up my favourite flirty lip colours for spring time sunshine. They’re all lightweight lip products that are perfect for applying on-the-go for an easy pop of colour. Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm…
The Best of British Makeup
I had a mild panic when I realised that a lot of the beauty products I know and love are British. With the clock ticking until we move to the USA, I realised I had better round up my favourites and stockpile, just in case I can no longer get my hands on them once we’re Stateside. Without doubt, my all time favourite concealer is Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, as…
Quick Mummy Makeup
Makeup has become somewhat of a luxury now that I’m a mother. Most of my days are spent barefaced, but when I want a little pick-me-up, it feels good to spend five minutes putting some makeup on. Henry enjoys it too – he sits on my knee and has a good rummage through my makeup bag, taking the lids off my lipsticks and patting my brushes on his face….
Loves Lately
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss These non-sticky and fragrance-free lip glosses are available in array of pretty shades. I opted for Super Natural, a ‘my-lips-but-better’ shade which adds just the right amount of colour and gloss to the lips, and Snow Pink, a clear gloss with a delicate shimmer running through it, which gives the lips a plumped up effect. Zara Short Sleeved Sweater This oh-so-soft sweater has adorable short sleeves and a scoop neck. I love the style…
Loves Lately
Soap & Glory Smoothie Star Body Buttercream – £10.50 Once or twice a week I like to apply a luxurious body butter for some intense moisture. The latest addition to grace my ever increasing collection is Soap & Glory’s Smoothie Star. The scent is divine – a delectable combination of pistachio, almond and sweet vanilla which gives off a bakewell tart fragrance. Whenever I use this I have compliments on the scent…
Love Boo Mummy Skincare
I must admit I’ve been quite slack when it comes to applying lotions and potions to my growing baby bump. Both in my twin pregnancy and my current pregnancy, I applied creams and oils sporadically, no more than a few times a week. Now I’ve reached the third trimester, when stretch marks are most likely to appear, I thought it about time I establish some kind of routine in using pregnancy…
Eucerin Even Brighter
As I head further into my 20s, I find myself paying more attention to my skin care regime, ensuring my skin is well cared for and any problems are dealt with the appropriate product. Eye creams and serums are some of the newest additions to my routine, used in an attempt to keep my skin youthful and wrinkles at bay, but it wasn’t until recently that dark spots on the skin entered…
Philips VisaPure Facial Cleansing Brush
The VisaPure Facial Cleansing Brush is the latest beauty gadget to be released by Philips. The rotating brush claims to cleanse 10 times more effectively than manual cleansing, whilst remaining just as gentle and helping improve skin tone and texture. Using this daily should lead to an improvement in the absorption of skin care products and dead skin cells are removed by exfoliation. I love the design of Philips VisaPure. The nude colour looks feminine yet unobtrusive,…
Tria Hair Removal Laser
Over the past few months, I’ve been trialling the Tria Hair Removal Laser – the first and only cordless laser hair removal system available for home use. The clinically-proven Tria Laser uses the same laser technology that professionals use in-clinic for permanent results, at a fraction of the cost. When I first heard about the Tria Hair Removal Laser, I was intrigued. It promised that hair growth would appear finer and lighter after…
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Natural Bronze Body Lotion
I thought I should dedicate a post to my current favourite beauty product…Palmer’s Natural Bronze Body Lotion. As I have incredibly fair skin, I’m always on the quest for the perfect fake tan. My natural complexion means that in order to achieve the colour most people are naturally, I need to fake tan, so I look for an ultra deep and dark fake tan which me allows me to achieve this with just one application. I have tried a…
Rimmel Celebrity Bash
I’ve been searching for the ultimate deep red nail colour for a while now, and I’ve finally found it! Rimmel Celebrity Bash is the perfect burgundy shade, a lovely classic colour to wear during winter. I’m always impressed by the quality of Rimmel nail polishes. Their maxi applicator brushes distribute the polish evenly and quickly, so a manicure doesn’t have to take all day and you don’t need to be too precise….
Clarins SS13 Makeup Collection
It’s that time of year again when we’re offered the delights of new collections. As always, Clarins have released a beautiful range of products to tempt you this spring. Inspired by the multi-coloured tones and satin feel of the beautiful Iris flower, the Clarins Spring Makeup Collection features a quartet of shimmering mineral eye shades, a signature gold face compact, the new Rouge Eclat lipsticks and a few limited edition shades….
